Telecommunications and Networks (Computer Weekly)

Focal Press, 1997

Telecommunications is an old and stable technology if you think only of telephones and telegraph. But in the 1960s came computers and the processing of data. Soon, we needed data communications to transmit data to remote PCs connected by networks. Later, these points of communications increased in number, with the transmission being no longer...

Understanding Search Engines: Mathematical Modeling and Text Retrieval (Software, Environments, Tools), Second Edition

SIAM, 2005

“There is no other information retrieval/search book where the heart is the mathematical foundations. This book is greatly needed to further establish information retrieval as a serious academic, as well as practical and industrial, area." ---Jaime Carbonell, Carnegie Mellon University. “Berry and Browne describe most of what...

Quantum Cosmology and Baby Universes

World Scientific Publishing, 1991

Quantum gravity is notoriously a subject where problems vastly outnumber results. This is no surprise at short distances, on the order of the Planck length, where most of us expect quantum fluctuations in the metric to cause space-time itself to lose its meaning and gravity to be subsumed (along with the other so-called fundamental interactions)...

Fiber Based Dispersion Compensation (Optical and Fiber Communications Reports)

Springer, 2007

A pulse of light spreads in time as it propagates in a fiber due to the physical phenomenon called dispersion. While dispersion can be deleterious in optical communications systems, it can also be exploited to manage the temporal and spectral shapes of pulses and their interactions with other pulses. Much of dispersion control is realized in...

Topics in Mathematical Analysis (Series on Analysis, Applications and Computation)

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

This volume consists of a series of lecture notes on mathematical analysis. The contributors have been selected on the basis of both their outstanding scientific level and their clarity of exposition. Thus, the present collection is particularly suited to young researchers and graduate students. Through this volume, the editors intend to provide...

This book is an intermediate-level introduction to Xcode 4, Apple’s integrated development environment. It assumes you have some development experience and are familiar with the Cocoa API. It won’t teach you how to write code or much at all about Cocoa. There are other books for that. This one is strictly focused on...

Nine Algorithms That Changed the Future: The Ingenious Ideas That Drive Today's Computers

Princeton Press, 2011

Computing is transforming our society in ways that are as profound as the changes wrought by physics and chemistry in the previous two centuries. Indeed, there is hardly an aspect of our lives that hasn't already been influenced, or even revolutionized, by digital technology. Given the importance of computing to modern society,...
