Statistical Regression Modeling with R (PDF) offers a concise point of reference for the most commonly used regression methods. It starts with linear and nonlinear regression for logistic regression for binomially distributed data, normally distributed data, and Poisson regression and negative binomial regression for count data. It then moves to

Recent Advances in Computational Mechanics and Simulations: Volume-II, Nano to Macro (PDF) offers selected papers from the 7th International Congress on Computational Mechanics and Simulation held at IIT Mandi, India. The papers discuss the development of mathematical models showing physical phenomena and relating modern computing methods and simulations to analyse them. The studies

Geologic Fracture Mechanics (PDF) delivers a consistent treatment of all common geologic structural discontinuities. It searches the formation, growth, and interpretation of fractures and deformation bands, from the theoretical, field, and lab-based perspectives, linking the gap between a general textbook treatment and the more progressive research literature. It enables the

This key source reader in the popular Discovering series includes a six-part pedagogical framework that leads students through the process of historical inquiry and explanation. The textbook stresses historical study as interpretation rather than memorization of data. Every chapter is organized around the same pedagogical framework: The Problem, Background, The

Ice Mechanics for Geophysical and Civil Engineering Applications, (PDF) offers the tools and concepts of ice mechanics, along with examples of their application in the fields of glaciology, civil engineering, and climate research in cold regions. It begins with an account of the most important physical properties of sea and
