This text investigates the molecular biology of conjugation, and the subsequent activity of the transfered genes "in vivo". Conjugation may be very important when considering biotransformations, as expression of transfered genes may allow organisms to metabolize certain substrates.

Book DescriptionBasic Concepts of Algebra is an excellent refresher for algebra. It is also an indispensable reference book re-definitions, theory and steps in solving algebraic problems. It covers a wide range of the necessary concepts and content that will help the learner to develop a good background so as to waltz through algebra. The book has twelve chapters: Numbers; Algebraic Expressions; Indices 1, Roots and Radicals; Indices 2; Equations 1; Equations 2; Inequalities; Factorization; Quadratic Equations; Graphing; Solving Systems of Linear Equations and Logarithms. The goal of this book is to give the learner the necessary and required concepts, skills and knowledge so as to be successful in algebra. It is the author's view that a good grasp of the basic concepts of algebra will enable and encourage competence in statistics, geometry, trigonometry and calculus. The learner is therefore encouraged to go through each topic in this book meticulously and remember to practice questions from the exercises. The concepts are set out in a clear format with definitions, examples and exercises. To make sure that you understand the material, each chapter ends with a summary exercise. You should get the most from this book if you work steadily from the beginning to the end in each chapter. Each chapter has the relevant topics and sub-topics with definitions and examples that will allow the learner to easily workout the problems in the exercises.This book is suitable for high school and first year college students. It may be introduced at the upper elementary level and be used right up to adult education. The book is good for those persons who are a bit rusty in algebra or have forgotten content materials because it has been awhile since they have taken an algebra course. If such is the case then this is the perfect book for you to refresh your skills and sharpen your proficiency in core concepts of algebra.Finally I would like to reiterate that algebra can be fun but the learner has to first get a good grasp of the basic concepts so as to have a rewarding experience which will not only advance competency level in algebra but will be favorable for further studies in mathematics. Remember to make a firm commitment to spend the time to study and practice your algebra.

Set Theory for BeginnersSet Theory for Beginners consists of a series of basic to intermediate lessons in set theory. In addition, all the proofwriting skills that are essential for advanced study in mathematics are covered and reviewed extensively. Set Theory for Beginners is perfect for professors teaching an undergraduate course or basic graduate course in set theory high school teachers working with advanced math students students wishing to see the type of mathematics they would be exposed to as a math major. The material in this pure math book includes: 16 lessons consisting of basic to intermediate topics in set theory and mathematical logic. A problem set after each lesson arranged by difficulty level. A complete solution guide is included as a downloadable PDF file. Set Theory Book Table Of Contents (Selected) Here's a selection from the table of contents: Introduction Lesson 1 - Sets Lesson 2 - Subsets Lesson 3 - Operations on Sets Lesson 4 - Relations Lesson 5 - Equivalence Relations and Partitions Lesson 6 - Functions Lesson 7 - Equinumerosity Lesson 8 - Induction and Recursion on N Lesson 9 - Propositional Logic Lesson 10 - First-order Logic Lesson 11 - Axiomatic Set Theory Lesson 12 - Ordinals Lesson 13 - Cardinals Lesson 14 - Martin's Axiom Lesson 15 - The Field of Real Numbers Lesson 16 - Clubs and Stationary Sets

This monograph presents a rigorous mathematical introduction to optimal transport as a variational problem, its use in modeling various phenomena, and its connections with partial differential equations. Its main goal is to provide the reader with the techniques necessary to understand the current research in optimal transport and the tools which are most useful for its applications. Full proofs are used to illustrate mathematical concepts and each chapter includes a section that discusses applications of optimal transport to various areas, such as economics, finance, potential games, image processing and fluid dynamics. Several topics are covered that have never been previously in books on this subject, such as the Knothe transport, the properties of functionals on measures, the Dacorogna-Moser flow, the formulation through minimal flows with prescribed divergence formulation, the case of the supremal cost, and the most classical numerical methods. Graduate students and researchers in both pure and applied mathematics interested in the problems and applications of optimal transport will find this to be an invaluable resource.

This guide book to mathematics contains in handbook form the fundamental working knowledge of mathematics which is needed as an everyday guide for working scientists and engineers, as well as for students. Easy to understand, and convenient to use, this guide book gives concisely the information necessary to evaluate most problems which occur in concrete applications. In the newer editions emphasis was laid on those fields of mathematics that became more important for the formulation and modeling of technical and natural processes, namely Numerical Mathematics, Probability Theory and Statistics, as well as Information Processing. Besides many enhancements and new paragraphs, new sections on Geometric and Coordinate Transformations, Quaternions and Applications, and Lie Groups and Lie Algebras were added for the sixth edition.
