Microcomputer Quantum Mechanics

Microcomputer Quantum Mechanics, 9780852744550 (0852744552), Adam Hilger, 1986

How sad to learn a language and then to have nothing to say. This is, however, a very common situation in computing. Students learn how to write simple programs, but there is often nothing upon which they can test their new-found skills and no way of building upon their experience by using the computer on real or even realistic problems. Dr Killingbeck sets out to remedy this situation by providing...something worthwhile to say...which is of a genuine scientific nature and at the same time possible on devices now widely available. Nature An excellent little book. Although quantum mechanics are used as examples, the techniques can be applied to many other areas of physics.

Choiced to learn a language and then to have nothing to say. This is, however, a very common situation in computing. Students learn how to write simple programs, but there is often nothing upon which they can test their new-found skills and no way of building upon their experience by using the computer on real or even realistic problems.

Nature An excellent little book. Although quantum mechanics are used as examples, the techniques can be applied to many other areas of physics.

Microcomputer Quantum Mechanics combines the teaching of computing skills with depth of mathematical understanding. This practical text demonstrates how computation can be integrated with theoretical analysis as part of a unified attack on problems in one of the most interesting areas of modern physics. The author discusses the mathematical principles behind the programs and actually creates new methods to facilitate the application of microcomputers in quantum mechanics.

Coherent Systems, Volume 2 (Studies in Logic and Practical Reasoning)

Elsevier Limited, 2004

One aspect of common sense reasoning is reasoning about normal cases, e.g. a physician will first try to interpret symptoms by a common disease, and will take more exotic possibilities only later into account. Such "normality" can be encoded, e.g. by
a relation, where case A is considered more normal than case B. This gives a...

Complexity Theory and Cryptology

Springer, 2005

Modern cryptology increasingly employs mathematically rigorous concepts and methods from complexity theory. Conversely, current research topics in complexity theory are often motivated by questions and problems from cryptology. This book takes account of this situation, and therefore its subject is what may be dubbed "cryptocomplexity'', a...

Foundations and Novel Approaches in Data Mining (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2005

Data-mining has become a popular research topic in recent years for the treatment of the "data rich and information poor" syndrome. Currently, application oriented engineers are only concerned with their immediate problems, which results in an ad hoc method of problem solving. Researchers, on the other hand, lack an understanding of the...

Creative Space: Models of Creative Processes for the Knowledge Civilization Age

Springer, 2005

Creative Space summarizes and integrates the various up-to-date approaches of computational intelligence to knowledge and technology creation including the specific novel feature of utilizing the creative abilities of the human mind, such as tacit knowledge, emotions and instincts, and intuition. It analyzes several important approaches of this...
