| | Quantum Magnetism (Lecture Notes in Physics)Putting the quantum into magnetism might, at first sight, seem like stating the obvious; the exchange interactions leading to collective magnetic behavior are, after all, a pure quantum effect. Yet, for many phenomena in magnetism this underlying quantum nature may be safely ignored at least on the qualitative level. The investigation of magnetic... | | Field GeophysicsAlthough there are many different geophysical methods, small-scale surveys
all tend to be rather alike and involve similar, and sometimes ambiguous,
jargon. For example, the word base has three different common meanings,
and stacked and field have two each.
Measurements in geophysical surveys are made in the field but,... |

The Universal Book of Mathematics: From Abracadabra to Zeno's ParadoxesWhat makes a number weird, and why, as far as anyone can tell, aren’t weird numbers odd? What do monsters, moonshine, and 24-dimensional oranges have in common? Why couldn’t Sam Loyd get a patent for his famous fifteen puzzle? What is the significance of the statement "the smallest number not nameable in under ten words"?... | | Mastering Data Warehouse Design: Relational and Dimensional TechniquesAt last, a balanced approach to data warehousing that leverages the techniques pioneered by Ralph Kimball and Bill Inmon
Since its groundbreaking inception, the approach to understanding data warehousing has been split into two mindsets: Ralph Kimball, who pioneered the use of dimensional modeling techniques for building the data warehouse, and... | | Chaos and Fractals: An Elementary Introduction
This book provides the reader with an elementary introduction to chaos and fractals, suitable for students with a background in elementary algebra, without assuming prior coursework in calculus or physics. It introduces the key phenomena of chaos - aperiodicity, sensitive dependence on initial conditions, bifurcations - via simple iterated... |

OpenGL 4.0 Shading Language Cookbook
The OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) Version 4.0 brings unprecedented power and flexibility to programmers interested in creating modern, interactive, graphical programs. It allows us to harness the power of modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) in a straightforward way by providing a simple, yet powerful, language and API.
The... | | Modeling of Complex Systems: Application to Aeronautical Dynamics
In the field of aeronautical dynamics, this book offers readers a design tool which enables them to solve the different problems that can occur during the planning stage of a private project. The authors present a system for the modeling, design and calculation of the flying qualities of airplanes and drones, with a complete mathematical... | | Fluid Simulation
This book is designed to give the reader a practical introduction to fluid
simulation for graphics. The field of fluid dynamics, even just in animation,
is vast and so not every topic will be covered, and many wonderful papers
will sadly be passed over in the hope of distilling the essentials; this is
far from a thorough survey. The... |
