Thierry Vialar - Complex and Chaotic Nonlinear Dynamics: Advances in Economics and Finance, Mathematics and Statistics : the book

Complex dynamics constitute a growing and increasingly important area as they offer a strong potential to explain and formalize natural, physical, financial and economic phenomena.

This book pursues the ambitious goal to bring together an extensive body of knowledge regarding complex dynamics from various academic disciplines. Beyond its focus on economics and finance, including for instance the evolution of macroeconomic growth models towards nonlinear structures as well as signal processing applications to stock markets, fundamental parts of the book are devoted to the use of nonlinear dynamics in mathematics, statistics, signal theory and processing.

Numerous examples and applications, almost 700 illustrations and numerical simulations based on the use of Matlab make the book an essential reference for researchers and students from many different disciplines who are interested in the nonlinear field. An appendix recapitulates the basic mathematical concepts required to use the book.
 

Stock Profits: Getting to the Core--New Fundamentals for a New Age by Michael Thomsett : the book

Traditional methods of analyzing and picking stocks aren't enough anymore -- as millions of investors have discovered to their shock and dismay. The key reason: companies now systematically distort the operating results that investors depend upon for accurate analysis.

In Stock Profits: Getting to the Core, Michael C. Thomsett offers a new approach to fundamental analysis that reveals exactly what's real -- and what isn't. Clearly and simply, Thomsett shows how to strip away misleading data that distorts a company's true 'core earnings,' growth curves, and business realities. Then, drawing on that information, he walks you through every step of a winning analysis: trend discovery, interpretation, and confirmation. You'll learn powerful new ways to manage market risk by assessing a stock's fundamental volatility. Next, Thomsett shows how to apply all five elements of success in today's market: investigation, regulation, communication, planning and discipline. Whether you're already using fundamental analysis, technical analysis, or a dartboard, Stock Profits can help you achieve higher, more consistent returns.
