Making use of the inherent helix in the Fourier transform expression, this book illustrates both Fourier transforms and their properties in the round. The author draws on elementary complex algebra to manipulate the transforms, presenting the ideas in such a way as to avoid pages of complicated mathematics. Similarly, abbreviations...
A few years ago, I was teaching a workshop on advanced SketchUp techniques
to a group of extremely bright middle and high school (or so I
thought) students in Hot Springs, Arkansas. As subject matter went, I wasn’t

judgments about the size of objects in three dimensions. So how do we see
in...

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are randomized search and optimization techniques
guided by the principles of evolution and natural genetics; they have a large
amount of implicit parallelism. GAs perform multimodal search in complex
landscapes and provide near-optimal solutions for objective or tness func
tion of an...
Concise work presents topological concepts in clear, elementary fashion without sacrificing their profundity or exactness. Author proceeds from basics of set-theoretic topology, through topological theorems and questions based on concept of the algebraic complex, to the concept of Betti groups.
