Commutative Algebra
Wolmer Vasconcelos was one of the giants in the development of Commutative Algebra in the latter half of the twentieth century and the first decades of the twenty-first century. This work collects in one place essays illustrating the important developments of his work particularly in commutative algebra that permits the reader to see the development of his important ideas and how they influence the development of mathematics today.

Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications
Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications: Using MATLAB and Octave, Second Edition provides practical knowledge on modern computational techniques for the numerical solution of linear algebra problems. The book offers a unified presentation of computation, basic algorithm analysis, and numerical methods to compute solutions. Useful to readers regardless of background, the text begins with six introductory courses to provide background for those who haven't taken applied or theoretical linear algebra. This approach offers a thorough explanation of the issues and methods for practical computing using MATLAB as the vehicle for computation. Appropriate for advanced undergraduate and early graduate courses on numerical linear algebra, this useful textbook explores numerous applications to engineering and science.

Noncommutative Measures and LP and Orlicz Spaces, with Applications to Quantum Physics
The theory of noncommutative Haagerup ��sup��/sup and Orlicz spaces is an important tool in both Quantum Harmonic Analysis and Mathematical Physics. Indeed, noncommutativity is arguably the raison-d'礙tre of the Heisenberg approach to quantum mechanics. Just as classical analysis formed the foundation for classical mechanics, a mature response to the challenges posed by quantum mechanics (from the Heisenberg perspective) similarly needs to be built on a well-developed foundation of noncommutative analysis. In the passage from the classical to the quantum setting, functions get replaced with (possibly noncommuting) operators. Von Neumann himself realised early on that some sort of noncommutative integral calculus tailored to this setting is therefore needed to meet this challenge. This book seeks to help address this need. The noncommutative Orlicz spaces presented here help in dealing with observable quantities and entropy. Goldstein and Labuschagne provide a detailed account of the current theories in a way that is useful and accessible to a wide range of readers, from graduate students to advanced users. Beginning with some foundational examples intended to build intuition for the theory to follow, including the theory of noncommutative decreasing arrangements, as developed by Fack and Kosaki, and of Orlicz spaces for general von Neumann algebras. The authors then present the theory of the more accessible tracial case, followed by that of the more demanding general (type III) case. The final part of the book is devoted to advanced theory and applications.
Mathematical Methods for Engineering Applications
This proceedings volume compiles papers presented at the 5th International Conference on Mathematics and its Applications in Science and Engineering - ICMASE 2024, held on September 16-18, 2024, by the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, Portugal. The ICMASE 2024 was a hybrid conference, featuring both in-person and virtual attendance. The works in this volume explore recent developments in the application of mathematics to science and engineering, focusing on mathematical and computational modeling of real-world problems. Topics include algebra and number theory, analysis, geometry, statistics, computational and discrete mathematics, as well as their intersections with engineering applications. Additionally, educational aspects of mathematics in engineering fields are addressed. This volume is intended for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students, particularly those interested in advanced methods for applying mathematics across various contexts and fields.
