Business intelligence may be defined as a set of mathematical models and analysis methodologies that systematically exploit the available data to retrieve information and knowledge useful in supporting complex decision-making processes.

This text is a practical course in complex calculus that covers the applications, but does not assume the full rigor of a real analysis background. Topics covered include algebraic and geometric aspects of complex numbers, differentiation, contour integration, evaluation of finite and infinite real integrals, summation of series and the fundamental theorem of algebra. The Residue Theorem for evaluating complex integrals is presented in such a way that those wishing to study the subject at a deeper level should not need to unlearn anything presented here. A working knowledge of real calculus is assumed as is an acquaintance with complex numbers. This will be of interest to undergraduate students of applied mathematics, physical sciences and engineering.

It is impossible to imagine modern mathematics without complex numbers. "Complex Numbers from A to ...Z" introduces the reader to this fascinating subject which, from the time of L. Euler, has become one of the most utilized ideas in mathematics.

The exposition concentrates on key concepts and then elementary results concerning these numbers. The reader learns how complex numbers can be used to solve algebraic equations and to understand the geometric interpretation of complex numbers and the operations involving them.

This comprehensive overview of personality development from inter-utero life through adulthood focuses on the emotional tasks involved at each stage of development and the interplay of internal processes and external circumstances. Central importance is given to attachment and to psychoanalytic concepts such as the Oedipal complex, separation and individuation, and the development of the capacity to think.

Caring for the Child with Complex Needs in Community Settings provides a valuable overview of the key factors relating to caring for children with complex and continuing care needs. Despite its frequent and increasing use, complex care needs is a term without an agreed definition. This shortfall of knowledge is addressed in this book through critical discussion of evidence-based research and current health, social and education policy. It brings together the latest knowledge into one text providing practitioners with the crucial information needed when working with this diverse and broad group of children.
