The Computer and the Brain (The Silliman Memorial Lectures Series)

Yale University Press, 1979

With a foreword by Paul M. Churchland and Patricia S. ChurchlandThis book represents the views of one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century on the analogies between computing machines and the living human brain. John von Neumann concludes that the brain operates in part digitally, in part analogically, but uses a peculiar...

Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness (Series of Books in the Mathematical Sciences)

W. H. Freeman, 1979

Few technical lerms have gained such rapid notoriety as the appela tion "NP-complete." In the short lime since its introduction in the early 1970's, this term has come to symbolize the abyss of inherent intractability that algorithm designers increasingly face as they seek to solve larger and more complex problems. A...

Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages and Computation (Addison-Wesley series in computer science)

Addison Wesley, 1979

Ten years ago the authors undertook to produce a book covering the known material on formal languages, automata theory, and computational complexity. In retrospect, only a few significant results were overlooked in the 237 pages. In writing a new book on the subject, we find the field has expanded in so many new directions that a...

First-Order Dynamic Logic (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Springer, 1979

This is a research monograph intended primarily for those researchers in Theoretical Computer Science interested in the areas of logics of programs, programming language semantics and program verification. It is also aimed at mathematically-inclined researchers in Logic, Linguistics and Philosophy, interested in a well-motivated...

Z80 Assembly Language Programming

McGraw-Hill, 1979

This book describes assembly language programming. It assumes that you are familiar with An Introduction To Microcomputers Volume 1 —Basic Concepts (particulary Chapters 6 and 7). This book does not discuss the general features of computers, microcomputers, addressing methods, or instruction sets; you should refer to An...

Solid State Physics: Advances in Research and Applications, Vol. 34

Academic Press, 1979

The characteristics and theory of the thermal conductivity of solids was reviewed comprehensively in Volume 7 of this serial publication by Klemens. In a later article, appearing in Volume 12, Mendelssohn and Rosenberg surveyed the theory of and experience with low-temperature thermal conductivity of metals. The review by Slack in this volume...

Logic for Problem Solving (Artificial intelligence series)

Elsevier Limited, 1979

Logic is an important tool in the analysis and presentation of arguments. It investigates whether assumptions imply conclusions, independently of their truth or falsity and independently of their subject matter. This book aims to apply the traditional methods of logic to contemporary theories of problem-solving and computer programming.

Frogs into Princes: Neuro Linguistic Programming

Real People, 1979

NLP is an explicit and powerful model of human experience and communication. Using the principles of NLP it is possible to describe any human activity in a detailed way that allows you to make many deep and lasting changes quickly and easily. A few specific examples of things you can learn to accomplish are: (1) cure phobias and other...

The A to Z book of computer games

TAB Books, 1979

There is probably no need to explain the fun you can have playing games with computers. More specious though perhaps, is the enjoyment experienced by the person who programs the computer. Most games played with card, dice, and the like are challenging and mentally stimulating. So too, is the process of compter programming - perhaps even more so....

The Portable Machiavelli

Penguin Press, 1979

Edited and translated by Peter Bondanella and Mark Musa, "The Portable Machiavelli" not only gives the casual reader a chance to read different personal and professional works of Machiavelli, but also strives to do away with many of the myths that have plagued the man's posthumous fame. For example, the famous 'the ends justifies the...

Boundary Layer Theory

McGraw-Hill, 1979

"We find here a book where the theory is developed with rigours in parallel with a strong physical intuition. Comparison with experiments and simulations are always proposed and carefully analysed. The book contains at the end a very rich and complete bibliography … I warmly encourage everyone interested in boundary-layer theory to have...
