The book offers an in-depth exploration of integrating Turkish, Arabic, and North Indian scales into jazz improvisation, emphasizing microtonality and harmony. It presents a wide array of scales and modes, including transpositions, essential for musicians interested in South-Western Asian and North Indian music. Additionally, it examines folk music scales from cultures like Greek rebetiko and Bulgarian wedding music, revealing cross-cultural similarities. Each scale is detailed with interval values and tuning specifics, alongside foundational music theories and practical jazz application techniques.

"Oriental Jazz Improvisation; Microtonality and Harmony" explores Arabic, Turkish, and Northern Indian scales and modes, offering insights for musicians interested in these traditions. It includes transcriptions, music theory basics, and applications in jazz, while highlighting parallels with other folk music cultures. This book enhances your musical vocabulary without making you a native musician.

"An Oriental Approach to Jazz Improvisation" is a detailed exploration of integrating Arabic, Turkish, and Northern Indian scales and modes into jazz. It presents around two dozen scales and modes from these cultures, along with transpositions, and includes various folk music scales from other countries, essential for jazz musicians interested in these traditions.

A mathematical introduction to non-life insurance and, at the same time, to a multitude of applied stochastic processes. It gives detailed discussions of the fundamental models for claim sizes, claim arrivals, the total claim amount, and their probabilistic properties. What makes this book special are more than 100 figures and tables illustrating and visualizing the theory. Every section ends with extensive exercises. The book can serve either as a text for an undergraduate/graduate course on non-life insurance mathematics or applied stochastic processes.

Focusing on empirical process techniques, this work addresses the modeling of dependence structures in various data sets, particularly in finance, insurance, and telecommunications. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory surrounding dependent data, compiling recent advancements scattered across the literature. Key features include expert surveys on applications like spectral analysis, bootstrapping for stationary sequences, and extreme value theory. This book serves as both an introductory text and a valuable reference for students and professionals in statistics and applied probability.
