Geometric Folding Algorithms: Linkages, Origami, Polyhedra
How can linkages, pieces of paper, and polyhedra be folded? The authors present hundreds of results and over 60 unsolved 'open problems' in this comprehensive look at the mathematics of folding, with an emphasis on algorithmic or computational aspects. Folding and unfolding problems have been implicit since Albrecht Dürer in the... | | Programming in Visual Basic 2010: The Very Beginner's Guide
This is an introduction to programming using Microsoft's Visual Basic.NET 2010. It is intended for novice programmers with little or no programming experience or no experience with Visual Basic. The text emphasizes programming logic and good programming techniques with generous explanations of programming concepts written from a... | | Java 8 in Action: Lambdas, Streams, and functional-style programming

| | Switchmode RF Power Amplifiers (Communications Engineering)A majority of people now have a digital mobile device whether it be a cell phone, laptop, or blackberry. Now that we have the mobility we want it to be more versatile and dependable; RF power amplifiers accomplish just that. These amplifiers take a small input and make it stronger and larger creating a wider area of use with a more robust... | | The Artful Universe ExpandedOur love of art, writes John Barrow, is the end product of millions of years of evolution. How we react to a beautiful painting or symphony draws upon instincts laid down long before humans existed. Now, in this enhanced edition of the highly popular The Artful Universe, Barrow further explores the close ties between our aesthetic appreciation and... |

Knots and LinksKnot theory is the study of embeddings of circles in space. It is a subject in which naturally occurring questions are often so simple to state that they can be explained to a child, yet finding answers may require ideas from the forefront of research. It is a subject of both depth and subtlety.
The subject started to develop... | | Essentials of Radio Wave Propagation (The Cambridge Wireless Essentials Series)If you need to maximize efficiency in wireless network planning, this quick reference guide to an increasingly complex and difficult topic is for you. Using real-world case studies, practical problems and minimum mathematics, the author explains simply and clearly how to predict signal strengths in a variety of situations. More sophisticated... | | A Second Course in Formal Languages and Automata TheoryIntended for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in computer science, A Second Course in Formal Languages and Automata Theory treats topics in the theory of computation not usually covered in a first course. After a review of basic concepts, the book covers combinatorics on words, regular languages, context-free languages, parsing and... |

An Introduction to Mathematical Cosmology
This book provides a concise introduction to the mathematical aspects of the origin, structure and evolution of the universe. The book begins with a brief overview of observational and theoretical cosmology, along with a short introduction of general relativity. It then goes on to discuss Friedmann models, the Hubble constant and deceleration... | | Hidden Unity in Nature's LawsOne of the paradoxes of the physical sciences is that as our knowledge has progressed, more and more diverse physical phenomena can be explained in terms of fewer underlying laws, or principles. In Hidden Unity, eminent physicist John Taylor puts many of these findings into historical perspective and documents how progress is made when unexpected,... | | Bayesian Reasoning and Machine Learning
We live in a world that is rich in data, ever increasing in scale. This data comes from many di erent
sources in science (bioinformatics, astronomy, physics, environmental monitoring) and commerce (customer
databases, nancial transactions, engine monitoring, speech recognition, surveillance, search). Possessing
the knowledge as to... |
