What happens when you press the sine key on your calculator? How does a calculator quickly produce the values of trigonometric functions? For instance, how does the TI-89 calculate sin 1.0? You might be surprised to know ...

We define the binomial multifractal distribution as an expression of a law of small numbers. We studied a form of evaluation or design of a distribution system in an irrigation district by determining its conduction capacity ...

This work refers to the analysis, study and resolution of the mathematical problem involved in the design and construction of the cover of a ball, such as the ones used in sports, in order to achieve a ball with optimal ...

The determination of critical points of mixtures is important for both practical and theoretical reasons in the modeling of phase behavior, especially at high pressure. The equations that describe the behavior of complex ...

The risk free rate on bonds is a very important quantity that allows calculation of premium values on bonds. This quantity of stochastic nature has been modeled with different degrees of sophistication. This paper reviews ...

The goal of our on-going research is to develop effective and reliable tools formodeling the environmental systems of the Gulf of Mexico. For example, our on-goingresearch into methodologies for the prediction of water ...

This is a survey of recent methods for the analysis of seasonal variation in medical research. These methods are effective even when the data show small amplitude and the sample size is small, two characteristics that are ...
