SQL Server Analytical Toolkit: Using Windowing, Analytical, Ranking, and Aggregate Functions for Data and Statistical Analysis
by Angelo BobakLearn window function foundational concepts through a cookbook-style approach, beginning with an introduction to the OVER() clause, its various configurations in terms of how partitions and window frames are created, and how data is sorted in the partition so that the window function can operate on the partition data sets. You will build a toolkit based not only on the window functions but also on the performance tuning tools, use of Microsoft Excel to graph results, and future tools you can learn such as PowerBI, SSIS, and SSAS to enhance your data architecture skills.This book goes beyond just showing how each function works. It presents four unique use-case scenarios (sales, financial, engineering, and inventory control) related to statistical analysis, data analysis, and BI. Each section is covered in three chapters, one chapter for each of the window aggregate, ranking, and analytical function categories.Each chapter includes several TSQL code examples and is re-enforced with graphic output plus Microsoft Excel graphs created from the query output. SQL Server estimated query plans are generated and described so you can see how SQL Server processes the query. These together with IO, TIME, and PROFILE statistics are used to performance tune the query. You will know how to use indexes and when not to use indexes.You will learn how to use techniques such as creating report tables, memory enhanced tables, and creating clustered indexes to enhance performance. And you will wrap up your learning with suggested steps related to business intelligence and its relevance to other Microsoft Tools such as Power BI and Analysis Services.All code examples, including code to create and load each of the databases, are available online.What You Will LearnUse SQL Server window functions in the context of statistical and data analysisRe-purpose code so it can be modified for your unique applicationsStudy use-case scenarios that span four critical industriesGet started with statistical data analysis and data mining using TSQL queries to dive deep into dataStudy discussions on statistics, how to use SSMS, SSAS, performance tuning, and TSQL queries using the OVER() clause.Follow prescriptive guidance on good coding standards to improve code legibility Who This Book Is ForIntermediate to advanced SQL Server developers and data architects. Technical and savvy business analysts who need to apply sophisticated data analysis for their business users and clients will also benefit. This book offers critical tools and analysis techniques they can apply to their daily job in the disciplines of data mining, data engineering, and business intelligence.
Square Roots of Elliptic Systems in Locally Uniform Domains (Operator Theory: Advances and Applications #303)
by Sebastian BechtelThis book establishes a comprehensive theory to treat square roots of elliptic systems incorporating mixed boundary conditions under minimal geometric assumptions. To lay the groundwork, the text begins by introducing the geometry of locally uniform domains and establishes theory for function spaces on locally uniform domains, including interpolation theory and extension operators. In these introductory parts, fundamental knowledge on function spaces, interpolation theory and geometric measure theory and fractional dimensions are recalled, making the main content of the book easier to comprehend. The centerpiece of the book is the solution to Kato's square root problem on locally uniform domains. The Kato result is complemented by corresponding Lp bounds in natural intervals of integrability parameters. This book will be useful to researchers in harmonic analysis, functional analysis and related areas.
Square Summable Power Series (Dover Books on Mathematics)
by James Rovnyak Louis De BrangesThis text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students introduces Hilbert space and analytic function theory, which is centered around the invariant subspace concept. The book's principal feature is the extensive use of formal power series methods to obtain and sometimes reformulate results of analytic function theory. The presentation is elementary in that it requires little previous knowledge of analysis, but it is designed to lead students to an advanced level of performance. This is achieved chiefly through the use of problems, many of which were proposed by former students. The book's tried-and-true approach was developed from the authors' lecture notes on courses taught at Lafayette College, Bryn Mawr College, and Purdue University.

Angles and degrees are explained in words and useful visuals. Kids will get a handle on geometric vocabulary and can try out plenty of hands-on activities that will help reinforce the concepts. A glossary is included.
The Squiggle Sense: Sixth Sense of the Complementary Nature and the Metastable Brain~Mind
by David A. Engstrøm J. A. KelsoEither/or thinking is a major stumbling block to human development and understanding. In this book Kelso & Engstrøm offer a whole new way of looking at the world, awakening a “sixth sense” that people didn’t realize they had. It draws on the profound relationship between nature’s many complementary contraries and the paradigm shifting science of coordination called Coordination Dynamics. The human brain~mind, through the multi- and metastable modes of its coordination dynamics, gives rise to a sentient faculty called the squiggle sense. Nature's contraries are perceived not only as opposing polar states, but as coexisting complementary tendencies, symbolized by the squiggle (~). Use this book to nudge your brain~mind into its metastable mode again and again, to better perceive the complementary dances of contraries, and to transcend the detrimental narrow-mindedness of polarized, either/or thinking. As a "Metastabilian" you can wield your squiggle sense to enhance and advance your life!

Stability and Bifurcation Theory for Non-Autonomous Differential Equations
by Anna Capietto Jean Mawhin Maria Patrizia Pera Miguel Ortega Peter Kloeden Russell Johnson Sylvia NovoThis volume contains the notes from five lecture courses devoted to nonautonomous differential systems, in which appropriate topological and dynamical techniques were described and applied to a variety of problems. The courses took place during the C.I.M.E. Session "Stability and Bifurcation Problems for Non-Autonomous Differential Equations," held in Cetraro, Italy, June 19-25 2011. Anna Capietto and Jean Mawhin lectured on nonlinear boundary value problems; they applied the Maslov index and degree-theoretic methods in this context. Rafael Ortega discussed the theory of twist maps with nonperiodic phase and presented applications. Peter Kloeden and Sylvia Novo showed how dynamical methods can be used to study the stability/bifurcation properties of bounded solutions and of attracting sets for nonautonomous differential and functional-differential equations. The volume will be of interest to all researchers working in these and related fields.
