Math-related ebooks added, Dec. 2010

The list is fairly short this month. Springer has added over 120 books with copyright 2011. We still do not have access to 2011 books because we have not been invoiced yet. As soon as our access is established, I will post the large list of 2011 titles which is growing on the springerlink.com site.

Eddy Current Approximation of Maxwell Equations Ana Alonso Rodríguez, Alberto Valli MS&A
Encyclopedia of research design/ edited by Neil J. Salkind -- has sections on mathematical concepts and statistical concepts which may be useful for some math folks.
Functional Analysis, Sobolev Spaces and Partial Differential Equations Haim Brezis Universitext
Geometry of Filtering K. David Elworthy, Yves Le Jan, Xue-Mei Li Frontiers in Mathematics
GIAM (a Gentle Introduction to the Art of Mathematics) Joseph Fields - if you think we should add this to our catalog, please let Ruth know. Thanks.
Interpreting statistical findings a guide for health professionals and students
Numerical Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations David F. Griffiths, Desmond J. Higham Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series
Proceedings of COMPSTAT'2010 Yves Lechevallier, Gilbert Saporta
Stability Analysis and Robust Control of Time-Delay Systems Min Wu, Yong He, Jin-Hua She
Variational Analysis and Generalized Differentiation in Optimization and Control Regina S. Burachik, Jen-Chih Yao Springer Optimization and Its Applications, v.47

Wiley changes and problems with EJournal access

Access problems often appear in January-February as invoice errors, subscription changes and other such problems occur. Please report problems or questions promptly so we can repair them as soon as possible. You can email Ruth or use the EJournal Problem Report Form.

Also, during December, Wiley Online Library (formerly Wiley Interscience and Blackwell Synergy) adjusted our access; our old contract gave us a "deal" on many titles we did not actually pay for; since we canceled that contract for 2010+ we expected the change sooner; we have kept access through 2009 but 2010+ is no longer available on the Danforth Campus. Of course we continue to have current online access to many the Wiley subscriptions and free issues.

Cap on Mobius items is increased

In December, the WU Libraries, in cooperation with other MOBIUS libraries, have increased the number of MOBIUS items a WU faculty member or graduate student can borrow at a time from 20 to 30. More info on MOBIUS. Ruth welcomes your suggestions, if there are items you request repeatedly through MOBIUS which WU really should own.

Writing equations in Google Docs

I saw this post on Profhacker and thought it might interest some of you: Writing Equations in Google Docs. Please note that the Comments are important to read also since they refer to a new equation editor which is also available.

Math-related paper books added Dec. 2010

Click on the title for more info or to request

Note: "In Process" titles may still be REQUESTED so the book will be held for you when it is available. You may also be interested in browsing an alternative listings of new books, by broad call number areas.
