Subject: New Book, Algebr and Geom Ideas in the Theory of Discrete Opt.

Announcing the December 27, 2012, publication by SIAM of:

Algebraic and Geometric Ideas in the Theory of Discrete Optimization,
by Jesús A. De Loera, Raymond Hemmecke, and Matthias Köppe

2012 / xx + 322 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611972-43-6 /
List Price $109.00 / SIAM Member Price $76.30 / Order Code MO14

This book presents recent advances in the mathematical theory of
discrete optimization, particularly those supported by methods from
algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, convex and discrete geometry,
generating functions, and other tools normally considered outside the
standard curriculum in optimization.

It offers several research technologies not yet well known among
practitioners of discrete optimization, minimizes prerequisites for
learning these methods, and provides a transition from linear discrete
optimization to nonlinear discrete optimization.

The book can be used as a textbook for advanced undergraduates or
beginning graduate students in mathematics, computer science, or
operations research or as a tutorial for mathematicians, engineers,
and scientists engaged in computation who wish to delve more deeply
into how and why algorithms do or do not work.

Subject: New Book, Mathematical Models for Communicable Diseases

Announcing the December 28, 2012, publication by SIAM of:

Mathematical Models for Communicable Diseases
by Fred Brauer and Carlos Castillo-Chavez

2012 / xviii + 270 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611972-41-2 /
List Price $77.00 / SIAM Member Price $53.90 / Order Code CB84

This graduate-level textbook appeals to readers interested in the
mathematical theory of disease transmission models. It is
self-contained and accessible to readers who are comfortable with
calculus, elementary differential equations, and linear algebra. The
book provides insight into modeling cross-immunity between different
disease strains (such as influenza) and the synergistic interactions
between multiple diseases (e.g., HIV and tuberculosis); diseases
transmitted by viral agents, bacteria, and vectors (e.g., mosquitos
transmitting malaria to humans); and both epidemic and endemic disease
occurrences.

It is appropriate for graduate-level courses in epidemiology for
students in mathematics departments as well as for students in
epidemiology programs who have a strong background in mathematics. It
will also be of interest to researchers with backgrounds in the
epidemiological, mathematical, and medical sciences and individuals
involved in the development, implementation, and evaluation of public
health policy.
