Writing Scientific Software: A Guide to Good Style

Cambridge University Press, 2006

The core of scientific computing is designing, writing, testing, debugging and modifying numerical software for application to a vast range of areas: from graphics, meteorology and chemistry to engineering, biology and finance. Scientists, engineers and computer scientists need to write good code, for speed, clarity, flexibility and ease of re-use....

Systems Biology: Properties of Reconstructed Networks

Cambridge University Press, 2006

Genome sequences are now available that enable us to determine the biological components that make up a cell or an organism. The new discipline of systems biology examines how these components interact and form networks, and how the networks generate whole cell functions corresponding to observable phenotypes. This textbook describes how to model...

The Standard ML Basis Library

Cambridge University Press, 2002

SML is an influential programming language that represents many state-of-the-art aspects of language design in a form usable for everyday programming. The language is in use worldwide, with applications ranging from network communication to theorem proving. The definition for SML's standard library, this work concisely describes the types and...

Statistical Mechanics of Learning

Cambridge University Press, 2001

The effort to build machines that are able to learn and undertake tasks such as datamining, image processing and pattern recognition has led to the development of artificial neural networks in which learning from examples may be described and understood. The contribution to this subject made over the past decade by researchers applying the...

John Locke's Politics of Moral Consensus

Cambridge University Press, 2005

‘… The book is written in a very accessible and often … punchy way … In its overall thesis that liberalism requires a moral/religious underpinning, the book is very interesting and stimulating.’ Roger Woolhouse, University of York

'… engaging and thought-provoking … To the scholar of Locke,...

An Introduction to Programming with Mathematica, Third Edition

Cambridge University Press, 2005

"Essential...a welcome addition to the literature. The choice of topics and their presentation are lucidly informed by considerable experience. The writing style is straightforward and clear. The authors stick resolutely to their goal of producing an introductory text, not a complete treatment, on programming in Mathematica. As such it...

Deadly Connections: States that Sponsor Terrorism

Cambridge University Press, 2005

"Dan Byman has written what will likely become the standard text on state-sponsored terrorism. Deadly Connections is an important book that not only fills a long-standing gap in the field of terrorism studies, but significantly advances our understanding of this particularly opaque and complex phenomenon." --Bruce Hoffman, author of...

Thermodynamics of Natural Systems

Cambridge University Press, 2005

'This is an excellent text of use to earth science senior undergraduates and graduates that need to develop a thorough understanding of thermodynamics.’?Geoscientist

Thermodynamics deals with energy levels and the transfer of energy between states of matter, and is therefore fundamental to all branches of science. This new...

The Theory of Composites

Cambridge University Press, 2001

"...there existed no book or review paper that would allow a newcomer to get a general knowledge of the state of the art. The book of Graeme Milton fills this gap, and it does the job in a splendid manner that will make it the reference book on composite materials for a long time." Mathematical Reviews

The theory...

Visions of the Future: Chemistry and Life Science

Cambridge University Press, 2001

‘… you can’t deny the excitement the writers felt for what they are doing; and in these secular times such excitement must serve to replace the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom.’?Sir Brian Pippard, Times Higher Education Supplement

‘I enjoyed these glimpses of what is going on and (always a good...

Satisficing Games and Decision Making: With Applications to Engineering and Computer Science

Cambridge University Press, 2003

We constantly make decisions which are simply "good enough" rather than optimal--a type of decision for which Wynn Stirling has adopted the word "satisficing". Most computer decision making algorithms, however, seek only the optimal solution based on rigid criteria and reject others. Outlining an alternative approach, this...

Visibility Algorithms in the Plane

Cambridge University Press, 2007

A human observer can effortlessly identify visible portions of geometric objects present in the environment. However, computations of visible portions of objects from a viewpoint involving thousands of objects is a time consuming task even for high speed computers. To solve such visibility problems, efficient algorithms have been designed. This...
