Markov models for pattern recognition: from theory to applications
Our perception can extract and recognize patterns with little effort. However, after many years of research, we still can’t feasibly grant the same ability to a machine. One of the most promising and successful approaches... more

Reservoir simulation: mathematical techniques in oil recovery
This book was a bit of a disappointment, and for a number of reasons: it is hard to read; it is not, as the title suggests, a hands-on approach to oil-reservoir simulation; and, it is a compilation of known methods on reservoir modeling. However, this... more
