After over fifteen years of research and trial and error, micromap designs have evolved to the point where they are slowly finding their way into mainstream statistical visualizations. Now seems to be a good time to pull all of the work together into a book in order to introduce micromaps to a wide range of people interested in...

• Introduces Flash physics in an accurate, but approachable way, covering what is required to produce physically...

Initially, the notion of a business case for cloud computing seemed almost redundant. It seemed to me that the cost savings associated with...

Handbook of Grid Generation addresses the use of grids (meshes) in the numerical solutions of partial differential equations by finite elements, finite volume, finite differences, and boundary elements. Four parts divide the chapters: structured grids, unstructured girds, surface definition, and adaption/quality. An introduction to...

The seminar was one of the first scientific meetings devoted to the...

This companion provides a collection of frequently needed numerical data as a convenient desk-top or pocket reference for atmospheric scientists as well as a concise source of information for others interested in this matter. The material contained in this book was extracted from the recent and the past scientific literature; it covers...

Over the last 15 years, the application of innovative steel concepts in the automotive industry has increased steadily. Numerical simulation technology of hot forming of high-strength steel allows engineers to modify the formability of hot forming steel metals and to optimize die design schemes. Theories, Methods and Numerical Technology...

MATLAB is a high-level language and environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. Using MATLAB, you can analyze data, develop algorithms, and create models and applications. The language, tools, and built-in math functions enable you to explore multiple approaches and reach a solution faster than with spreadsheets or...
