| Title | Stellar Collapse |
| Author(s) | Fryer, Chris L |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2004. |
| Description | XXXI, 406 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Supernovae, hypernovae and gamma-ray bursts are among the most energetic explosions in the universe. The light from these outbursts is, for a brief time, comparable to billions of stars and can outshine the host galaxy within which the explosions reside. Most of the heavy elements in the universe are formed within these energetic explosions. Surprisingly enough, the collapse of massive stars is the primary source of not just one, but all three of these explosions. As all of these explosions arise from stellar collapse, to understand one requires an understanding of the others. Stellar Collapse marks the first book to combine discussions of all three phenomena, focusing on the similarities and differences between them. Designed for graduate students and scientists newly entering this field, this book provides a review not only of these explosions, but the detailed physical models used to explain them from the numerical techniques used to model neutrino transport and gamma-ray transport to the detailed nuclear physics behind the evolution of the collapse to the observations that have led to these three classes of explosions |

| Title | Dynamics of Gambling: Origins of Randomness in Mechanical Systems |
| Author(s) | Strzalko, Jaroslaw;Grabski, Juliusz;Perlikowski, Przemyslaw;Stefanski, Andrzej;Kapitaniak, Tomasz |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009. |
| Description | X, 152 p. 94 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This monograph presents a concise discussion of the dynamics of mechanical randomizers (coin tossing, die throw and roulette). The authors derive the equations of motion, also describing collisions and body contacts. It is shown and emphasized that, from the dynamical point of view, outcomes are predictable, i.e. if an experienced player can reproduce initial conditions with a small finite uncertainty, there is a good chance that the desired final state will be obtained. Finally, readers learn why mechanical randomizers can approximate random processes and benefit from a discussion of the nature of randomness in mechanical systems. In summary, the book not only provides a general analysis of random effects in mechanical (engineering) systems, but addresses deep questions concerning the nature of randomness, and gives potentially useful tips for gamblers and the gaming industry |

| Title | Self-Organized Criticality in Astrophysics : The Statistics of Nonlinear Processes in the Universe |
| Author(s) | Aschwanden, Markus |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2011. |
| Description | XIV, 416 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The concept of ???self-organized criticality??? (SOC) has been applied to a variety of problems, ranging from population growth and traffic jams to earthquakes, landslides and forest fires. The technique is now being applied to a wide range of phenomena in astrophysics, such as planetary magnetospheres, solar flares, cataclysmic variable stars, accretion disks, black holes and gamma-ray bursts, and also to phenomena in galactic physics and cosmology. Self-organized Criticality in Astrophysics introduces the concept of SOC and shows that, due to its universality and ubiquity, it is a law of nature. The theoretical framework and specific physical models are described, together with a range of applications in various aspects of astrophyics. The mathematical techniques, including the statistics of random processes, time series analysis, time scale and waiting time distributions, are presented and the results are applied to specific observations of astrophysical phenomena |

| Title | Mathematical SETI : Statistics, Signal Processing, Space Missions |
| Author(s) | Maccone, Claudio |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2012. |
| Description | LII, 724 p. 109 illus., 49 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book introduces the Statistical Drake Equation where, from a simple product of seven positive numbers, the Drake Equation is turned into the product of seven positive random variables. The mathematical consequences of this transformation are demonstrated and it is proven that the new random variable N for the number of communicating civilizations in the Galaxy must follow the lognormal probability distribution when the number of factors in the Drake equation is allowed to increase at will. Mathematical SETI also studies the proposed FOCAL (Fast Outgoing Cyclopean Astronomical Lens) space mission to the nearest Sun Focal Sphere at 550 AU and describes its consequences for future interstellar precursor missions and truly interstellar missions. In addition the author shows how SETI signal processing may be dramatically improved by use of the Karhunen-Lo??ve Transform (KLT) rather than Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Finally, he describes the efforts made to persuade the United Nations to make the central part of the Moon Far Side a UN-protected zone, in order to preserve the unique radio-noise-free environment for future scientific use |

| Title | I capricci del caso : Introduzione alla statistica, al calcolo della probabilit?? e alla teoria degli errori |
| Author(s) | Piazza, Roberto |
| Publication | Milano, Springer Milan, 2009. |
| Description | XI, 254 pagg : online resource |
| Abstract Note | I metodi probabilistici e statistici giocano un ruolo di primo piano sia nella scienza teorica e sperimentale che nelle applicazioni ingegneristiche, costituendo pertanto un elemento essenziale del bagaglio culturale che uno studente deve acquisire fin dai primi anni di apprendimento universitario. Questo libro, che nasce dall???esperienza didattica accumulata dall???autore nell???insegnamento dei metodi sperimentali, si propone di fornire un???introduzione al calcolo delle probabilit?? e alla teoria degli errori facendo uso di uno stile di presentazione volutamente informale e traendo spunto da concrete applicazioni sperimentali, spesso attraverso esempi di notevole importanza storica. Cos??, per esempio, argomenti quali il moto browniano, la diffusione di luce, il decadimento radioattivo, la fisiologia della visione, le statistiche quantistiche e di fotorivelazione, vengono utilizzati per delucidare concetti chiave dell???analisi statistica e probabilistica. Un'enfasi particolare ?? posta sull???origine e la natura fisica delle distribuzioni di probabilit?? di maggior interesse nella ricerca scientifica. La trattazione dei dati sperimentali e l???analisi delle incertezze di misura viene fatta a partire da un analisi concreta delle caratteristiche generali della strumentazione utilizzata nei laboratori di ricerca. Il contenuto si rivolge in primo luogo agli studenti di fisica o ingegneria dei corsi di laurea triennale ma, richiedendo una conoscenza pregressa non superiore a quella acquisita nei primi corsi universitari di analisi, matematica il libro ?? stato concepito e formulato per essere il pi?? possibile anche per chi volesse avvicinarsi a questi concetti in modo indipendente e autonomo |

| Title | Dealing with Uncertainties : A Guide to Error Analysis |
| Author(s) | Drosg, Manfred |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2007. |
| Description | XIV, 190 p. 24 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Dealing with Uncertainties proposes and explains a new approach for the analysis of uncertainties. Firstly, it is shown that uncertainties are the consequence of modern science rather than of measurements. Secondly, it stresses the importance of the deductive approach to uncertainties. This perspective has the potential of dealing with the uncertainty of a single data point and of data of a set having differing weights. Both cases cannot be dealt with the inductive approach, which is usually taken. This innovative monograph also fully covers both uncorrelated and correlated uncertainties. The weakness of using statistical weights in regression analysis is discussed. Abundant examples are given for correlation in and between data sets and for the feedback of uncertainties on experiment design |
