Six weeks.That's how long my editor gave me to change my book from a baseball romance to one about hockey. A complete rewrite. Which is how I find myself in Montana, a thousand miles from home, researching hockey, and preparing to meet a local expert.There's one small problem.Or rather a big one. A big, grumpy problem.My expert is none other than Nick Galaxy—the single dad and hockey captain I ran into minutes after landing ...

Feral Grandmothers is a collection of literary short stories imagining and exploring the state of being a grandmother. They range from brief fables of grandmothers as mythic figures to revisions of fairy tales to realistic grandmothers from Appalachia. Some of the grandmothers protect their grandchildren fiercely, and others try to divorce their families. Some of them have turned inward, away from the world, and others are brave in unexpected ways.

This book is about a little girl named Kensley Carpenter who loves Jesus and always takes him along every where she goes and all her stories include Jesus and his teachings

USA Today Bestseller: After a wild night in Vegas, a gymnast wakes up married to the hockey player next door, in this charming sports romance.The last thing gymnast Hannah Walsh needs is a distraction, especially one like her neighbor: the cocky, handsome pro–hockey player who's been asking her out for weeks. But after a hazy, whirlwind night in Las Vegas, she wakes up as Mrs. Travis Bennett and avoiding the guy who cost her a sponsorship is no longer an o...

In various scientific and industrial fields, stochastic simulations are taking on a new importance. This is due to the increasing power of computers and practitioners’ aim to simulate more and more complex systems, and thus use random parameters as well as random noises to model the parametric uncertainties and the lack of knowledge on the physics of these systems. The error analysis of these computations is a highly complex mathematical undertaking. Approaching these issues, the authors p...

Collecting together twenty-three self-contained articles, this volume presents the current research of a number of renowned scientists in both probability theory and statistics as well as their various applications in economics, finance, the physics of wind-blown sand, queueing systems, risk assessment, turbulence and other areas.The contributions are dedicated to and inspired by the research of Ole E. Barndorff-Nielsen who, since the early 1960s, has been and continues to be a ver...

This book provides a pedagogical examination of the way in which stochastic models are encountered in applied sciences and techniques such as physics, engineering, biology and genetics, economics and social sciences. It covers Markov and semi-Markov models, as well as their particular cases: Poisson, renewal processes, branching processes, Ehrenfest models, genetic models, optimal stopping, reliability, reservoir theory, storage models, and queuing systems. Given this comprehensive treatme...

This textbook, now in its third edition, offers a rigorous and self-contained introduction to the theory of continuous-time stochastic processes, stochastic integrals, and stochastic differential equations. Expertly balancing theory and applications, the work features concrete examples of modeling real-world problems from biology, medicine, industrial applications, finance, and insurance using stochastic methods. No previous knowledge of stochastic processes is required. Key topics include...

Adhering to state and national math standards, this informative volume introduces readers to a world they may know little about: statistics and probability. In an effort to better forecast the future for gains and combat the potential losses of uncertainty, numerous areas have come to rely on the power of these disciplines. This book introduces the historical and mathematical basis of statistics and probability, as well as their application to everyday situations. Readers will also meet th...

This book showcases a subclass of hereditary systems, that is, systems with behaviour depending not only on their current state but also on their past history; it is an introduction to the mathematical theory of optimal control for stochastic difference Volterra equations of neutral type. As such, it will be of much interest to researchers interested in modelling processes in physics, mechanics, automatic regulation, economics and finance, biology, sociology and medicine for all of which s...
