The second edition has been fully revised and augmented to reflect significant developments in the field of blast engineering since the early 1990s. Combining coverage of the most up-to-date design standards, codes and materials with a detailed appreciation of the needs and demands...

Examines classic algorithms, geometric diagrams, and mechanical principles for enhancing visualization of statistical estimation procedures and mathematical concepts in physics, engineering, and computer programming.

In this book, the author finds that many of the important concepts of mathematical statistics can be associated with physical models; and that the optimality criteria of statistical estimation procedures can often be interpreted in terms of the concept of potential energy.
