Roger B. Nelsen Book order

Focusing on the fundamental properties and applications of copulas, this book serves as a valuable resource for students and practitioners in statistics and probability. It delves into their role in understanding dependence and measures of association, while also exploring the creation of families of bivariate distributions. As a growing field, the study of copulas offers insights into multivariate distribution functions and their one-dimensional margins, making this text essential for those looking to deepen their knowledge in this area.

Proofs without words are generally pictures or diagrams that help the reader see why a particular mathematical statement may be true, and how one could begin to go about proving it. While in some proofs without words an equation or two may appear to help guide that process, the emphasis is clearly on providing visual clues to stimulate mathematical thought. The proofs in this collection are arranged by topic into five chapters: Geometry and algebra; Trigonometry, calculus and analytic geometry; Inequalities; Integer sums; and Sequences and series. Teachers will find that many of the proofs in this collection are well suited for classroom discussion and for helping students to think visually in mathematics.
