This book contains some of the contributions, divided into five main sections, that have been carefully selected and peer-reviewed, which were presented at the International Symposium MME06 Mathematical Methods in Engineering, held in Cankaya University, Ankara, April 27—29, 2006. The Symposium provided a setting for discussing recent developments in Fractional Mathematics, Neutrices and Generalized Functions, Boundary Value Problems, Applications of Wavelets, Dynamical Systems and Control Theory | LINEAR ALGEBRA PROBLEM BOOK Paul R.

Dolciani Professor of Mathematics at Hunter College of the City University of New York. In making the gift Professor Dolciani herself an exceptionally talented and successful expositor of mathematics had the purpose of furthering the ideal of excellence in mathematical exposition. The Association for its part was delighted to accept the gracious gesture initiating the revolving fund for this series from one who has served the Association with distinction both as a member of the Committee on Publications and as a member of the Board of Governors. It was with genuine pleasure that the Board chose to name the series in her honor. The books in the series are selected for their lucid expository style and stimulating mathematical content. Typically they contain an ample supply of exercises many with accompanying solutions. They are intended to be sufficiently elementary for the undergraduate and even the mathematically inclined high-school student to understand and enjoy but also to be interesting and sometimes challenging to the more advanced mathematician. 1.
