C# Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design requires no previous introduction to programming and only a mathematical background of high school algebra. The book uses C# as the programming language for software development; however, the basic programming concepts presented can be applied to a number of other languages....

his book is a new type of intermediate macroeconomics textbook- Until now, the choice was between books that use calculus to present formal theory dryly and with few, if any, applications to the real world and books that include applications but present theory using only graphs and algebra. This book uses calcu- lus, algebra, and graphs to...

Geometric algebra (GA) is a powerful new mathematical system for computational geometry. Although its origins can be traced back to Hermann Grassmann (1844), its development as a language for space–time geometry with applications to all of physics did not begin until 1966. Suddenly, in the year 2000 it was recognized that a specialized...

After studying this text, you should be able to apply switching theory to the solution of logic design problems.This means that you will learn both the basic theory of switching circuits and how to apply it. After a brief introduction, you will study Boolean algebra, which is the basic mathematical tool needed to analyze and synthesize...

Als mehrbändiges Nachschlagewerk ist das Springer-Handbuch der Mathematik in erster Linie für wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken, akademische Institutionen und Firmen sowie interessierte Individualkunden in Forschung und Lehre gedacht. Es ergänzt das einbändige themenumfassende Springer-Taschenbuch der Mathematik...

The overwhelming majority of program bugs and computer crashes stem from problems of memory access, allocation, or deallocation. Such memory-related problems are also notoriously difficult to debug. Yet the role that memory plays in C and C++ programming is a subject often overlooked in courses and books because it requires specialized knowledge...

Numerical modelling of geodynamic processes was predominantly the domain of high-level mathematicians experienced in numerical and computational techniques. Now, for the first time, students and new researchers in the Earth Sciences can learn the basic theory and applications from a single, accessible reference text. Assuming only minimal...

This book gives an introduction to the finite element method as a general computational method for solving partial differential equations approximately. Our approach is mathematical in nature with a strong focus on the underlying mathematical principles, such as approximation properties of piecewise polynomial spaces, and variational...
