First Leaves: A Tutorial Introduction to Maple V
TLDR
This tutorial shows how to use Maple both as a calculator with instant access to hundreds of high-level math routines and as a programming language for more demanding tasks.Abstract:
This tutorial shows how to use Maple both as a calculator with instant access to hundreds of high-level math routines and as a programming language for more demanding tasks. It covers topics such as the basic data types and statements in the Maple language. It explains the differences between numeric computation and symbolic computation and illustrates how both are used in Maple. Extensive "how-to" examples are used throughout the tutorial to show how common types of calculations can be expressed easily in Maple. The manual also uses many graphics examples to illustrate the way in which 2D and 3D graphics can aid in understanding the behavior of functions.read more

A generic model for the assessment of disease epidemiology: the computational basis of DisMod II
TL;DR: This work derives a set of equations that describes this disease process and allows calculation of the complete epidemiology of a disease given a minimum of three input variables and outputs are incidence and case fatality, among others.

Model-Based Decision Support Methodology with Environmental Applications
J Jaap Wessels,Marek Makowski +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a decision support methodology for strategic environmental decision problems, and provide several generic as well as specific tools to support the analysis of compromise solutions that correspond best to decision maker preferences, allowing the use of other modeling concepts like soft constraints, soft simulation, or inverse simulation.

Accuracy analysis for wavelet approximations
TL;DR: Unlike neural network training, this estimation procedure does not rely on stochastic gradient type techniques such as the celebrated "backpropagation" and it completely avoids the problem of poor convergence or undesirable local minima.

OMDoc -- An Open Markup Format for Mathematical Documents [version 1.2]: Foreword by Alan Bundy (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)
TL;DR: In contrast to the OMDoc format, this report is a total re-write, it closes many documentation gaps, clarifies various remaining issues and adds a multitude of new examples.

α-Operator splitting time integration technique for pseudodynamic testing error propagation analysis
Didier Combescure,Pierre Pegon +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown in particular that, in contrast with what is observed using iterative schemes, the selective damping possibility associated with the α factor become a crucial ingredient for the success of the α-OS scheme.
