The purpose of this book is to provide a practical compendium of algorithms for use in applications. Unlike most works on algorithms, this book is not a  textbook: you will not find implementation details left as an exercise for the reader, nor will you find highly theoretical discussions of algorithms with small  snippets of code...

clear exposition and the consistency of presentation make learning arithmetic accessible for all. Key concepts are presented in section objectives and further defined within the context of How and Why; providing a strong foundation for learning. The predominant emphasis of the book focuses on problem-solving, skills, concepts, and...

Error correcting and detecting codes are essential to improving system reliability and have popularly been applied to computer systems and communication systems. Coding theory has been studied mainly using the code generator...

Designed for a one-semester course, A Modern Introduction to Differential Equations presents a solid and highly accessible introduction to differential equations, developing the concepts from a dynamic systems perspective...

This is a practical textbook written for use by engineers, scientists and technicians. It is not intended to be a rigorous scientific treatment of the subject material as this would f'dl several volumes. Rather, it introduces the reader to the fundamentals of the subject material, and provides sufficient references for an in-depth study of the...
