Bond Math
Author: Donald J. SmithPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118103165
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
A guide to the theory behind bond math formulas Bond Math explores the ideas and assumptions behind commonly used statistics on risk and return for individual bonds and on fixed income portfolios. But this book is much more than a series of formulas and calculations; the emphasis is on how to think about and use bond math. Author Donald J. Smith, a professor at Boston University and an experienced executive trainer, covers in detail money market rates, periodicity conversions, bond yields to maturity and horizon yields, the implied probability of default, after-tax rates of return, implied forward and spot rates, and duration and convexity. These calculations are used on traditional fixed-rate and zero-coupon bonds, as well as floating-rate notes, inflation-indexed securities, and interest rate swaps. Puts bond math in perspective through discussions of bond portfolios and investment strategies. Critiques the Bloomberg Yield Analysis (YA) page, indicating which numbers provide reliable information for making decisions about bonds, which are meaningless data, and which can be very misleading to investors Filled with thought-provoking insights and practical advice, this book puts the intricacies of bond math into a clear and logical order.
Positivity in Algebraic Geometry II
Author: R.K. LazarsfeldPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3642188109
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
Two volume work containing a contemporary account on "Positivity in Algebraic Geometry". Both volumes also available as hardcover editions as Vols. 48 and 49 in the series "Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete". A good deal of the material has not previously appeared in book form. Volume II is more at the research level and somewhat more specialized than Volume I. Volume II contains a survey of positivity for vector bundles, and moves on to a systematic development of the theory of multiplier ideals and their applications. Contains many concrete examples, applications, and pointers to further developments

Deformation Theory of Algebras and Their Diagrams
Author: Martin MarklPublisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821889796
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
This book brings together both the classical and current aspects of deformation theory. The presentation is mostly self-contained, assuming only basic knowledge of commutative algebra, homological algebra and category theory. In the interest of readability, some technically complicated proofs have been omitted when a suitable reference was available. The relation between the uniform continuity of algebraic maps and topologized tensor products is explained in detail, however, as this subject does not seem to be commonly known and the literature is scarce. The exposition begins by recalling Gerstenhaber's classical theory for associative algebras. The focus then shifts to a homotopy-invariant setup of Maurer-Cartan moduli spaces. As an application, Kontsevich's approach to deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds is reviewed. Then, after a brief introduction to operads, a strongly homotopy Lie algebra governing deformations of (diagrams of) algebras of a given type is described, followed by examples and generalizations.

Algebraic $K$-Theory
Author: Wayne RaskindPublisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 082180927X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
This volume presents the proceedings of the Joint Summer Research Conference on Algebraic K-theory held at the University of Washington in Seattle. High-quality surveys are written by leading experts in the field. Included is an up-to-date account of Voevodsky's proof of the Milnor conjecture relating the Milnor K-theory of fields to Galois cohomology. The book is intended for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in $K$-theory, algebraic geometry, and number theory.
EUROCAL '87
Author: James H. DavenportPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540515173
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
This is the sixth in a series of conference proceedings of international conferences on computer algebra held in Europe. All the preceding ones have also been published as Lecture Notes in Computer Science. They contain original research material not published elsewhere, and a few invited lectures summarising the state of the art. Computer algebra is the science of using computers to do algebraic calculations, rather than the purely arithmetic calculations which we all know computers can do. These calculations may be polynomial-like calculations - one thread of the conference was devoted to polynomial algorithms - or may relate to other areas of mathematics such as integration, the solution of differential equations, or geometry - a second thread was devoted to those topics. The calculations can be applied in a wide range of scientific and engineering subjects, and in branches of mathematics. Physics has benefitted especially from these calculations, and the proceedings contain many papers on this, and also papers on applications in computer aided design and robotics, to name but a few other applications. The third thread of the proceedings was devoted to these applications and to the computer algebra systems which perform these calculations.
Surveys in Differential-Algebraic Equations II
Author: Achim IlchmannPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319110500
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
The present volume comprises survey articles on various fields of Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAEs), which have widespread applications in controlled dynamical systems, especially in mechanical and electrical engineering and a strong relation to (ordinary) differential equations. The individual chapters provide reviews, presentations of the current state of research and new concepts in - Observers for DAEs - DAEs in chemical processes - Optimal control of DAEs - DAEs from a functional-analytic viewpoint - Algebraic methods for DAEs The results are presented in an accessible style, making this book suitable not only for active researchers but also for graduate students (with a good knowledge of the basic principles of DAEs) for self-study.
