Ten Lectures On The Use Of Formulas

This new addition to the series, gives practitioners and students of Chinese medicine an unprecedented opportunity to learn from the vast clinical experience of one of China's most senior, widely known and respected traditional physicians. Ten Lectures on the Use of Chinese Medicinals from the Personal Experience of Jiao Shu-De presents information drawn from the wealth of experience - over 60 years - of Dr Shu-De, with much not previously available in current English language texts.

"Dr. Jiao is a senior practitioner and educator in China with unparalleled clinical experience in the field of Chinese medicine. These case studies from the author's medical career cover nearly every specialty field in Chinese medicine and provide tremendous insight into medicinal therapy, formulas, and case-based treatment approaches"--provided by the publisher.

This book contains expanded versions of ten lectures delivered at Texas Tech University in the summer of 1983. The operator algebras of the title are nonselfadjoint algebras of operators on Hilbert space.

Preface to the English edition This monograph Ten Lectur,es on Statistical and Structural Pattern Recognition uncovers the close relationship between various well known pattern recognition problems that have so far been considered independent. These relationships became apparent when formal procedures addressing not only known prob lems but also their generalisations were discovered. The generalised problem formulations were analysed mathematically and unified algorithms were found. The book unifies of two main streams ill pattern recognition-the statisti cal a11d structural ones. In addition to this bridging on the uppermost level, the book mentions several other unexpected relations within statistical and structural methods. The monograph is intended for experts, for students, as well as for those who want to enter the field of pattern recognition. The theory is built up from scratch with almost no assumptions about any prior knowledge of the reader. Even when rigorous mathematical language is used we make an effort to keep the text easy to comprehend. This approach makes the book suitable for students at the beginning of their scientific career. Basic building blocks are explained in a style of an accessible intellectual exercise, thus promoting good practice in reading mathematical text. The paradoxes, beauty, and pitfalls of scientific research are shown on examples from pattern recognition. Each lecture is amended by a discussion with an inquisitive student that elucidates and deepens the explanation, providing additional pointers to computational procedures and deep rooted errors.
