Books in Brief: Are publishers ready to deliver math e-books?

DSWeb's book reviews editor tested e-books from some of the biggest mathematics and engineering textbook publishers. Publishers seem intent upon taking us back to the pre-TeX years. By inexplicably avoiding PDF formats, they seem keen to reinvent the wheel for quality reproduction of mathematics symbols.

Recent Advances in the Numerical Approximation of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations

The conference was a NSF/CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences, and took place at the Department of Applied Mathematics of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), August 9--13, 2010, Chicago. It was organised by Jinqiao Duan ([email protected]), Igor Cialenco, and Fred J. Hickernell.
