inherent in the exploitation of wind power in a competitive electricity market.
Presenting the reader with all the relevant background information key to
understanding the integration of wind power into the power systems, this
leading edge text:
• Presents an international perspective on integrating a high penetration
of wind power into the power system
• Offers broad coverage ranging from basic network interconnection
issues to industry deregulation and future concepts for wind turbines
and power systems
• Discusses wind turbine technology, industry standards and
regulations along with power quality issues
• Considers future concepts to increase the penetration of wind power
in power systems

- Emphasizing problem-solving skills throughout this very successful book,
Stephen Chapman introduces the MATLABA(R) language and shows how to
use it to solve typical technical problems. The book teaches MATLABA(R) as
a technical programming language showing students how to write clean,
efficient, and well-documented programs. It makes no pretense at being a
complete description of all of MATLABA(R)'s hundreds of functions. Instead,
it teaches students how to locate any desired function with MATLABA(R)'s
extensive on line help facilities. Overall, students develop problem-solving
skills and are equipped for future courses and careers using the power of

- This book details the state of the art in the development and
application of the transient energy function (TEF) method as a tool
for power system transient stability assessment. It provides both the
analytical foundations of the TEF method and the practical issues
involved in the application of the method to analyze power systems.
Of primary interest to electric utility engineers who need to
understand and apply the technique, as well as engineers in research
organizations involved in research and development projects on
power system dynamics, and utility engineers interested in the use of
the TEF method as a tool for dynamic security assessment.

- Stephen Chapman's Essentials of MATLAB Programming is a
successful freshman-level text that is useable in a wide range of
courses. This brief text serves two purposes -- it teaches how to
program using MATLAB as a technical programming language as
well as teaching students the basics of computer programming. Using
top-down design methodology, the text encourages students to think
about the proper design of a program before coding. Problem solving
skills as well as the ability to locate desired functions within
MATLAB are also presented making this text a useful reference tool.

- The methods of discrete choice analysis and their applications in the
modelling of transportation systems constitute a comparatively new
field that has largely evolved over the past 15 years. Since its
inception, however, the field has developed rapidly, and this is the
first text and reference work to cover the material systematically,
bringing together the scattered and often inaccessible results for
graduate students and professionals.Discrete Choice Analysis presents
these results in such a way that they are fully accessible to the range
of students and professionals who are involved in modelling demand
and consumer behavior in general or specifically in transportation -
whether from the point of view of the design of transit systems, urban
and transport economics, public policy, operations research, or
systems management and planning.The introductory chapter presents
the background of discrete choice analysis and context of
transportation demand forecasting. Subsequent chapters cover, among
other topics, the theories of individual choice behavior, binary and

- Measure theory and integration are presented to undergraduates
from the perspective of probability theory. In fact, discrete
probability theory is taught at many institutions as a freshman
course. The early chapters, going under the rubric of the law of
large numbers, show why measure theory is needed for the
formulation of problems in probability, and explain why one
would have been forced to invent Lebesgue theory (had it not
already existed) to contend with the paradoxes of large numbers.
The measure-theoretic approach then leads to interesting
applications and a range of topics that include the construction of
the Lebesgue measure on Rn (metric space approach), the Borel-
Cantelli lemmas, straight measure theory (the Lebesgue integral).
In this concise text, a number of applications to probability are
packed into the exercises. Contents: Chapter1 Measure Theory

- An intuitive, yet precise introduction to probability theory, stochastic
processes, and probabilistic models used in science, engineering,
economics, and related fields. The 2nd edition is a substantial revision
of the 1st edition, involving a reorganization of old material and the
addition of new material. The length of the book has increased by
about 25 percent. The main new feature of the 2nd edition is thorough
introduction to Bayesian and classical statistics.
The book is the currently used textbook for "Probabilistic Systems
Analysis," an introductory probability course at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, attended by a large number of undergraduate
and graduate students. The book covers the fundamentals of
probability theory (probabilistic models, discrete and continuous
random variables, multiple random variables, and limit theorems),
which are typically part of a first course on the subject, as well as the
fundamental concepts and methods of statistical inference, both
Bayesian and classical. It also contains, a number of more advanced
topics, from which an instructor can choose to match the goals of a
particular course. These topics include transforms, sums of random
variables, a fairly detailed introduction to Bernoulli, Poisson, and

-This book will be useful to anyone who wants to understand the use of
quantum theory for the description of physical processes. It is a graduate
level text, ideal for independent study, and includes numerous figures,
exercises, bibliographical references, and even some computer programs.
The first chapters introduce formal tools: the mathematics are precise, but
not excessively abstract. The physical interpretation too is rigorous. It
makes no use of the uncertainty principle of other ill-defined notions. The
central part of the book is devoted to Bell's theorem and to the Kochen-
Specker theorem. It is here that quantum phenomena depart most radically
from classical physics. There has recently been considerable progress on
these issues, and the latest developments have been included. The final
chapters discuss further topics of current research: spacetime symmetries,
quantum thermodynamics and information theory, semiclassical methods,
irreversibility, quantum chaos, and especially the measuring process. In
particular, it is shown how modern techniques allow the extraction of
more information from a physical system than traditional measurement
methods. For physicists, mathematicians and philosophers of science with
an interest in the applications and foundations of quantum theory. The
volume is suitable as a supplementary graduate textbook.

- This marvellous and highly original book fills a significant gap in the
extensive literature on classical modular forms. This is not just yet
another introductory text to this theory, though it could certainly be
used as such in conjunction with more traditional treatments. Its
novelty lies in its computational emphasis throughout: Stein not only
defines what modular forms are, but shows in illuminating detail how
one can compute everything about them in practice. This is illustrated
throughout the book with examples from his own (entirely free)
software package SAGE, which really bring the subject to life while
not detracting in any way from its theoretical beauty. The author is
the leading expert in computations with modular forms, and what he
says on this subject is all tried and tested and based on his extensive
experience. As well as being an invaluable companion to those
learning the theory in a more traditional way, this book will be a great
help to those who wish to use modular forms in appl --John E.
