However, as with the presentation of the theory behind optimisation methods, this is not a clear weakness for regular practitioners and those learning the optimisation methods and not yet ready for a very in-depth treatment. After reflection, we think this would only present a weakness in the book in the cases where the text was used as a guide for developing new optimisation methods or addressing stability, convergence, uncertainty, and other very technical issues in optimisation methods themselves; for most practical applications, such as those encountered by typical mechanical design teams and students (both graduate and undergraduate) learning optimisation methods, this level of discussion is appropriate and useful. A review of design optimization using MATLAB® and SOLIDWORKS® by Krishnan Suresh We sincerely hope that Dr. Suresh will write a second very similar book discussing some additional topics, particularly his work on 3-D topology optimisation and some applications, some thermal and fluid mechanics problems, and system design problems.

Benjamin Wardhaugh starts this section with an examination of the use of marks and more deliberate marginalia in 366 copies of eighteenth-century mathematical books; he finds approximately 85% of books bore varying evidence of use, which is likely an I under i count, particularly with respect to heavily annotated books, which are less likely to have been preserved than cleaner books. Together, these chapters expand our understanding of how university students and scholars - particularly those who would not go on to become professional mathematicians - encountered mathematics and engaged with mathematical books during the early modern period. Overall, this book is a thought-provoking collection of case studies that fulfills its subtitle's promise to explore the production, collection, and - most of all - use of early modern mathematical books.

I Science and Hypothesis i deserves reconsideration, for it presents initial versions of Poincaré's views on the complex interplay between scientific theory and experiment. Gerhard Heinzmann and Stump also assert that I Science and Hypothesis i presents a hierarchical conception: "Poincaré sets out a hierarchical view of the sciences in I Science and Hypothesis i (1902), although he does not explicitly use this terminology. Although I Science and Hypothesis i does not include a separate chapter specifically on topology, Poincaré discusses it in some detail at the end of the magnitude chapter (chap. 2), situating topology between analysis and geometry. After "Number and Magnitude", which was dedicated to pure mathematics, Poincaré begins a new section of I Science and Hypothesis i devoted to geometry, containing chapters 3-5.

In summary, I Statistics in Medicine i would be a wonderful introduction textbook for anyone interested in statistics in medical, clinical, and public health research, but it is not suited for graduate-level training in statistics. The book is designed for graduate students, clinical researchers, and health care professionals as a first course in statistics with emphasis on applications in medical, clinical, and public health research. Furthermore, although the book nicely presents step-by-step implementation of methods and check-yourself exercises, readers may be interested in how to implement statistical methods using computers.
