Search TipsSearch Tips
Our search has the following Google-type functionality:
+ (addition symbol)
If you use '+' at the start of a word, that word will be present in the search results.
eg. Harry +Potter
Search results will contain 'Potter'.
- (minus symbol)
If you use '-' at the start of a word, that word will be absent in the search results.
eg. Harry -Potter
Search results will not contain 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between 2 words, then both those words will be present in the search results.
eg. Harry AND Potter
Search results will contain both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between 2 words, then either or both of those words will be present in the search results.
eg. 'Harry OR Potter'
Search results will contain just 'Harry', or just 'Potter', or both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, that word will be absent in the search results. (This is the same as using the minus symbol).
eg. 'Harry NOT Potter'
Search results will not contain 'Potter'.
" " (double quotation marks)
If you use double quotation marks around words, those words will be present in that order.
eg. "Harry Potter"
Search results will contain 'Harry Potter', but not 'Potter Harry'.
* (asterisk)
If you use '*' in a word, it performs a wildcard search, as it signifies any number of characters. (Searches cannot start with a wildcard).
eg. 'Pot*er'
Search results will contain words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er', such as 'Potter'.

Once, while half-human Cal Leandros and his brother Niko where working on a case, an ancient gypsy queen gave them a good, old-fashioned backstabbing. Now, just as their PI business hits a slow patch, the old crone shows up with a job. She wants them to find a stolen coffin that contains a blight that makes the Black Death seem like a fond memory. But the thief has already left town, so the Leandros brothers have to hit the road. And if they're very lucky there might even be a return trip.

A roaring rollercoaster of a read...[it'll] take your breath away. -- Simon R. Green
From the reviews: <p> The authors introduce the reader to the mathematical theory of randomly perturbed dynamical systems. a ] the authors make the laudable attempt to introduce others, e.g. engineers and biologists (and non-expert mathematicians) a ] by starting the book with an Introduction that in less technical terms illustrates the main facts of the theory and how these facts help one better understand the dynamical systems considered by scientists and engineers. This, together with many computer-simulated visualizations, may make the book accessible to scientists and engineers a ] . (Volker Wihstutz, Mathematical Reviews, 2003 m) <p> This monograph contains a well-written rigorous mathematical treatment a ] and deals with modern concepts such as dynamical systems, stochastic processes, stability, Markov chains, population biology, etc. a ] In summary, this reviewer would definitely recommend Random Perturbation Methods with Applications in Science and Engineering to those researchers and graduate students a ] who require tools to investigate stochastic systems. The book qualifies to be a reference work that certainly would be a valuable addition in libraries of universities and laboratories pursuing research in Applied Mathematics. (VD Radulescu, Applied Mechanics Reviews, Vol. 56 (4), 2003) <p>
