When I rescue a brown eyed beauty from a deadly storm, I vow she’s only staying for one night.I should have known better. One look at Ava and my life on the mountain will never be the same. Ava’s father is an @sshole. He’s the reason she’s running away. He’s a crook, a womanizer, and doesn’t think Ava is capable of anything. And she’s out to prove him wrong. Her escape is foiled by the storm, but it brings her to *me*. When I hold her shivering body next to mine, for the first time in years, I feel something. But I have my own demons to battle. A huge corporation trying to put a pipeline right through my precious wilderness. My mountain. Suddenly though, Ava is all that matters. Getting her to stay at my cabin, between my sheets is a whole new war. And I’m not going down without a fight. She’s feisty and stubborn, and everything I need. Her father wants to marry her off? Hope he likes lumberjacks.**Baby for the Mountain Man is a super steamy secret baby romance. It has a HEA and NO Cliffhanger. There are a few bonus books for your reading pleasure. Enjoy! **words : 190153

"Provides a comprehensive and accessible exploration of modern topics in convex analysis and optimization algorithms, with an emphasis on bridging the two areas"--

The method of least squares, discovered by Gauss in 1795, is a principal tool for reducing the influence of errors when fitting a mathematical model to given observations. Applications arise in many areas of science and engineering. The increased use of automatic data capturing frequently leads to large-scale least squares problems. Such problems can be solved by using recent developments in preconditioned iterative methods and in sparse QR factorization. The first edition of Numerical Methods for Least Squares Problems was the leading reference on the topic for many years. The updated second edition stands out compared to other books on this subject because it provides an in-depth and up-to-date treatment of direct and iterative methods for solving different types of least squares problems and for computing the singular value decomposition. It also is unique because it covers generalized, constrained, and nonlinear least squares problems as well as partial least squares and regularization methods for discrete ill-posed problems. The bibliography of over 1,100 historical and recent references provides a comprehensive survey of past and present research in the field.

This unique book explores several well-known machine learning and data analysis algorithms from a mathematical and programming perspective. The authorspresent machine learning methods, review the underlying mathematics, and provide programming exercises to deepen the reader's understanding;accompany application areas with exercises that explore the unique characteristics of real-world data sets (e.g., image data for pedestrian detection, biological cell data); andprovide new terminology and background information on mathematical concepts, as well as exercises, in “info-boxes” throughout the text.Algorithmic Mathematics in Machine Learning is intended for mathematicians, computer scientists, and practitioners who have a basic mathematical background in analysis and linear algebra, but little or no knowledge of machine learning and related algorithms. Researchers in the natural sciences and engineers interested in acquiring the mathematics needed to apply the most popular machine learning algorithms will also find this book useful.

Divided into two self-contained parts, this textbook is an introduction to modern real analysis. More than 350 exercises and 100 examples are integrated into the text to help clarify the theoretical considerations and the practical applications to differential geometry, Fourier series, differential equations, and other subjects. The first part of Classical Analysis of Real-Valued Functions covers the theorems of existence of supremum and infimum of bounded sets on the real line and the Lagrange formula for differentiable functions. Applications of these results are crucial for classical mathematical analysis, and many are threaded through the text. In the second part of the book, the implicit function theorem plays a central role, while the Gauss–Ostrogradskii formula, surface integration, Heine–Borel lemma, the Ascoli–Arzelà theorem, and the one-dimensional indefinite Lebesgue integral are also covered. This book is intended for first and second year students majoring in mathematics although students of engineering disciplines will also gain important and helpful insights. It is appropriate for courses in mathematical analysis, functional analysis, real analysis, and calculus and can be used for self-study as well.

San Francisco is perhaps the most exhilarating of all American cities--its beauty, cultural and political avant-gardism, and history are legendary, while its idiosyncrasies make front-page news. In this revised edition of his highly regarded study of San Francisco's economic and political development since the mid-1950s, Chester Hartman gives a detailed account of how the city has been transformed by the expansion--outward and upward--of its downtown. His story is fueled by a wide range of players and an astonishing array of events, from police storming the International Hotel to citizens forcing the midair termination of a freeway. Throughout, Hartman raises a troubling question: can San Francisco's unique qualities survive the changes that have altered the city's skyline, neighborhoods, and economy? <br /><br />Hartman was directly involved in many of the events he chronicles and thus had access to sources that might otherwise have been unavailable. A former activist with the National Housing Law Project, San Franciscans for Affordable Housing, and other neighborhood organizations, he explains how corporate San Francisco obtained the necessary cooperation of city and federal governments in undertaking massive redevelopment. He illustrates the rationale that produced BART, a subway system that serves upper-income suburbs but few of the city's poor neighborhoods, and cites the environmental effects of unrestrained highrise development, such as powerful wind tunnels and lack of sunshine. In describing the struggle to keep housing affordable in San Francisco and the seemingly intractable problem of homelessness, Hartman reveals the human face of the city's economic transformation.

Over seventy years ago, Richard Bellman coined the term the curse of dimensionality to describe phenomena and computational challenges that arise in high dimensions. These challenges, in tandem with the ubiquity of high-dimensional functions in real-world applications, have led to a lengthy, focused research effort on high-dimensional approximation —that is, the development of methods for approximating functions of many variables accurately and efficiently from data. This book is about one of the latest chapters in this long and ongoing story: sparse polynomial approximation methods. Such methods differ from more classical techniques in high-dimensional approximation in that they combine unstructured grids , typically obtained via Monte Carlo sampling , with ideas from best s-term approximation, least squares, sparse recovery , and compressed sensing . This allows one to address high- or even formally infinite-dimensional problems in which the target function is smooth, with rates of convergence that can, in certain settings, be independent of the dimension. For suitable classes of problems, such methods provably mitigate the curse of dimensionality to a substantial extent. It is due in part to these desirable theoretical properties that sparse polynomial approximation methods have emerged over the past 10-15 years as useful tools for various high-dimensional approximation tasks arising in a range of applications in computational science and engineering. This includes problems involving parametric models and, in particular, parametric differential equations

This book discusses the foundations of the mathematical theory of finite element methods. The focus is on two subjects: the concept of discrete stability, and the theory of conforming elements forming the exact sequence. Both coercive and noncoercive problems are discussed.. Following the historical path of development, the author covers the Ritz and Galerkin methods to Mikhlin’s theory, followed by the Lax–Milgram theorem and Cea’s lemma to the Babuska theorem and Brezzi’s theory. He finishes with an introduction to the discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin (DPG) method with optimal test functions. Based on the author’s personal lecture notes for a popular version of his graduate course on mathematical theory of finite elements, the book includes a unique exposition of the concept of discrete stability and the means to guarantee it, a coherent presentation of finite elements forming the exact grad-curl-div sequence, and an introduction to the DPG method. Intended for graduate students in computational science, engineering, and mathematics programs, Mathematical Theory of Finite Elements is also appropriate for graduate mathematics and mathematically oriented engineering students. Instructors will find the book useful for courses in real analysis, functional analysis, energy (Sobolev) spaces, and Hilbert space methods for PDEs.

Semismooth Newton methods are a modern class of remarkably powerful and versatile algorithms for solving constrained optimization problems with partial differential equations (PDEs), variational inequalities and related problems. This book provides a comprehensive presentation of these methods in function spaces, choosing a balance between thoroughly developed theory and numerical applications. Although largely self-contained, the book also covers recent developments such as state-constrained problems and offers new material on topics such as improved mesh independence results. The theory and methods are applied to a range of practically important problems, including: • optimal control of nonlinear elliptic differential equations • obstacle problems • flow control of instationary Navier–Stokes fluids In addition, the author covers adjoint-based derivative computation and the efficient solution of Newton systems by multigrid and preconditioned iterative methods.

A linear system of equations consists of a known matrix A and a known vector b such that A x = b for an unknown vector x, where A is of size m × n . When m = n and m > n , methods of solving for x are well known and are discussed in standard numerical analysis textbooks. However, when m < n , A x = b is called an underdetermined linear system. Such a linear system has become a subject of research in the last 15 years as part of an extremely active study in the community of compressive sensing. Mathematically, an underdetermined linear system has many solutions. The aim of the study is to find a sparse solution in the sense that the number of nonzero entries of the solution is the smallest. Although there exists a sparse solution, the difficulty is that it may take years to find such an exact solution using our current computer power. Therefore, we must look for an approximation of the sparse solution which can be found within reasonable time and tolerance. Compressed sensing and sparse solutions of underdetermined linear system have been actively studied in many branches of mathematics, e.g., approximation theory, Banach space theory, combinatorics, discrete and continuous optimization, numerical analysis, and probability, as well as in many other sciences, e.g., computer science, electrical engineering, medical sciences, optimization, and statistics

The original FORTRAN programs have been rewritten in MATLAB and now appear in a new appendix and online, offering a modernized version of this classic reference for basic numerical algorithms.-- Provided by Publisher

This book is about making decisions driven by experience. In this context, a scenario is an observation that comes from the environment, and scenario optimization refers to optimizing decisions over a set of available scenarios. Scenario optimization can be applied across a variety of fields, including machine learning, quantitative finance, control, and identification. The scenario approach has been given a solid mathematical foundation in recent years, addressing fundamental questions such as: How should experience be incorporated in the decision process to optimize the result? How well will the decision perform in a new case that has not been seen before in the scenario sample? And how robust will results be when using this approach? This concise, practical book provides readers with an easy access point to make the scenario approach understandable to nonexperts, and offers an overview of various decision frameworks in which the method can be used. It contains numerous examples and diverse applications from a broad range of domains, including systems theory, control, biomedical engineering, economics, and finance. Practitioners can find ""easy-to-use recipes,"" while theoreticians will benefit from a rigorous treatment of the theoretical foundations of the method, making it an excellent starting point for scientists interested in doing research in this field. Introduction to the Scenario Approach will appeal to scientists working in optimization, practitioners working in myriad fields involving decision-making, and anyone interested in data-driven decision-making.

In recent years, many new techniques have emerged in the mathematical theory of discrete optimization that have proven to be effective in solving a number of hard problems. This book presents these recent advances, particularly those that arise from algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, convex and discrete geometry, generating functions, and other tools normally considered outside of the standard curriculum in optimization. These new techniques, all of which are presented with minimal prerequisites, provide a transition from linear to nonlinear discrete optimization. This book can be used as a textbook for advanced undergraduates or first-year graduate students in mathematics, computer science or operations research. It is also appropriate for mathematicians, engineers, and scientists engaged in computation who wish to gain a deeper understanding of how and why algorithms work.
