Finite-Dimensional Linear AlgebraMark S. GockenbachMichigan Technological University, Houghton, USA
Catalog no. K10803, May 2010, 672 pp.ISBN: 978-1-4398-1563-2, $99.95
Drawing on material from the author’s owncourse, this textbook gives students a strong the-oretical understanding of linear algebra. It offersmany illustrations of how linear algebra is usedthroughout mathematics in such diverse areas ascombinatorics, differential equations, optimiza-tion, and approximation. The author takes stu-dents through an axiomatic development of vec-tor spaces, linear operators, eigenvalues, norms,and inner products. In addition to discussing thespecial properties of symmetric matrices, he cov-ers the Jordan canonical form, an important the-oretical tool, and the singular value decomposi-tion, a powerful tool for computation. The finalchapters present introductions to numerical linearalgebra and analysis in vector spaces.

Catalog no. K10916, August 2010, c. 669 pp.ISBN: 978-1-4398-1763-6, $89.95
From the exciting history of its development inancient times to the present day, this self-con-tained introduction provides a focused tour of thecentral concepts of cryptography, suitable for awide variety of mathematics and computer sci-ence courses. Rather than present an encyclope-dic treatment of topics in cryptography, the textdelineates cryptographic concepts in chronologi-cal order, developing the mathematics as needed.
Written in an engaging yet rigorous style, eachchapter introduces important concepts with cleardefinitions and theorems. Numerous examplesexplain key points while figures and tables helpillustrate more difficult or subtle concepts. Eachchapter is punctuated with “Exercises for theReader;” complete solutions for these are includ-ed in an appendix. Carefully crafted exercise setsare also provided at the end of each chapter, anddetailed solutions to most odd-numbered exercis-es can be found in a designated appendix.
The computer implementation section at the endof every chapter guides students through theprocess of writing their own programs. A sup-porting website provides an extensive set of sam-ple programs as well as downloadable platform-independent applet pages for some core pro-grams and algorithms.

Access Control, Security, and TrustA Logical ApproachShiu-Kai Chin and Susan OlderSyracuse University, New York, USA
Catalog no. C8628, July 2010, 351 pp.ISBN: 978-1-58488-862-8, $89.95
Developed from the authors’ courses at SyracuseUniversity and the U.S. Air Force ResearchLaboratory, this book equips students with anaccess control logic they can use to specify andverify their security designs. Throughout the text,the authors use a single access control logic basedon a simple propositional modal logic. Taking alogical, rigorous approach to access control, theyshow students how logic is a useful tool for ana-lyzing security designs and spelling out the condi-tions upon which access control decisions depend.
The first part of the book presents the syntax andsemantics of access control logic, basic access con-trol concepts, and an introduction to confidential-ity and integrity policies. The second section cov-ers access control in networks, delegation, proto-cols, and the use of cryptography. In the third sec-tion, the authors focus on hardware and virtualmachines. The final part discusses confidentiality,integrity, and role-based access control.
Features
• Employs propositional modal logic to explainaccess control principles
• Shows how to perform derivations and calcu-lations with mathematical precision andaccuracy
• Presents numerous examples ranging fromthe control of physical memory in hardwareto multilevel security policies
• Includes exercises that deal with application,analysis, synthesis, and evaluation

Real, Complex, and Functional Analysis
Real andComplexAnalysisChristopher Apelianand Steve SuraceDrew University, Madison, New Jersey, USA
with Akhil Mathew
Unlike other undergraduate-level texts, Real andComplex Analysis develops both the real andcomplex theory together. It takes a unified, ele-gant approach to the theory that is consistentwith the recommendations of the MAA’s 2004Curriculum Guide.
By presenting real and complex analysis together,the authors illustrate the connections and differ-ences between these two branches of analysisright from the beginning. This combined devel-opment also allows for a more streamlinedapproach to real and complex function theory.
Enhanced by more than 1,000 exercises, the textcovers all the essential topics usually found in sep-arate treatments of real analysis and complexanalysis. Consequently, students will no longerhave to use two separate textbooks—one for realfunction theory and one for complex functiontheory. The book’s website offers hints and solu-tions to selected exercises as well as further read-ing suggestions.
