| One reason for the success of C++ is that today a large number of libraries is available
on the market which greatly facilitate the development of programs, because they offer
reliable and well-proven components. A particularly carefully constructed library
is the Standard Template Library, which has been developed at Hewlett-Packard by
Alexander Stepanov, Meng Lee, and their colleagues. It has been accepted by the
ANSI/ISO committee as part of the C++ Standard (ISO/IEC (1998)).
The emphasis of the STL is on data structures for containers, and the algorithms
that work with them. The technical reference document of the STL
(Stepanov and Lee (1995)) has practically, with some modifications, become a part
of the C++ Standard (ISO/IEC (1998)). Both are the basis for the first two parts
of this book. The document can be freely used, if the copyright conditions are
quoted. These conditions plus references to sources can be found on page 273 of the
Appendix. |

 MDX with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services Cookbook
MDX-related books often dedicate a significant part of their content to explaining the concepts of multidimensional cubes, the MDX language and its functions, and other specifics related to working with Analysis Services. And that's perfectly fine, there should be books like that, the tutorials that teach the concepts. However, that also... | | Biological Database ModelingModern biological research in areas like drug discovery produces a staggering volume of data, and the right modeling tools can help scientists apply it in ways never before imaginable. This collection of next-generation biodata modeling techniques combines innovative concepts, methods, and applications with case studies in genome, microarray,... | | Doing Statistics With SPSSDoing Statistics With SPSS is derived from the authors' many years of experience teaching undergraduates data handling using SPSS. It assumes no prior understanding beyond that of basic mathematical operations and is therefore suitable for anyone undertaking an introductory statistics course as part of a science based... |
