Description
SPRINGER Partial Order In Environmental Sciences And Chemistry 2006 Edition by BRUGGEMANN RAINER ET.AL
This book explains the theory and practice of order relations in such a way that no specific mathematical skill is needed to understand the advantages of this algebraization. It acts as a primer in a mathematical technique which is useful in many expanding disciplines, like genomics, techniques of decision support, and sustainability. This book is recommended to those who are interested in the interface between sciences and management.
