Object-Oriented Design Using Java

McGraw-Hill, 2008

This text is an introduction to object-oriented (OO) design for second-year or higher undergraduate computer science students. It discusses software design and implementation in terms of “elegance,” which is defined in Chapter 1. It reviews the concepts of object-oriented programming and then covers fundamental software...

R in Action

Manning Publications, 2011

When I began writing this book, I spent quite a bit of time searching for a good quote to start things off. I ended up with two. R is a wonderfully flexible platform and language for exploring, visualizing, and understanding data. I chose the quote from Alice in Wonderland to capture the flavor of statistical analysis today—an...

Statistical Field Theory: An Introduction to Exactly Solved Models in Statistical Physics (Oxford Graduate Texts)

Oxford University Press, 2009

This book provides a thorough introduction to the fascinating world of phase transitions as well as many related topics, including random walks, combinatorial problems, quantum field theory and S-matrix. Fundamental concepts of phase transitions, such as order parameters, spontaneous symmetry breaking, scaling transformations, conformal...

The Fabulous Fibonacci Numbers

Prometheus Books, 2007

"...delightful...accessible to anyone who enjoys or enjoyed high school mathematics. Mathematics teachers from middle school through college will find this book fun to read and useful in the classroom. The authors consider more properties, relationships, and applications of the Fibonacci numbers than most other sources do...I enjoyed reading...

Digital Communication over Fading Channels: A Unified Approach to Performance Analysis

John Wiley & Sons, 2000

Regardless of the branch of science or engineering, theoreticians have always been enamored with the notion of expressing their results in the form of closed-form expressions. Quite often, the elegance of the closed-form solution is overshadowed by the complexity of its form and the difficulty in evaluating it numerically. In such instances, one...

Immunochemical Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology)

Humana Press, 2004

Immunochemical techniques have been in use for many years with early examples of bacterial strain typing dating back to the 1940s. The basis for the science is the exquisite elegance of the mammalian immune system with its ability to recognize foreign proteins and to manufacture antibody m- ecules that strongly bind to the substances that...

Nine Algorithms That Changed the Future: The Ingenious Ideas That Drive Today's Computers

Princeton Press, 2011

Computing is transforming our society in ways that are as profound as the changes wrought by physics and chemistry in the previous two centuries. Indeed, there is hardly an aspect of our lives that hasn't already been influenced, or even revolutionized, by digital technology. Given the importance of computing to modern society,...

Pro JavaScript for Web Apps

Apress, 2012

Client-side web app development has always been the poor cousin to server-side coding. This started because browsers and the devices they run on have been less capable than enterprise-class servers. To provide any kind of serious web app functionality, the server had to do all of the heavy lifting for the browsers, which was pretty...

Beginning F#

Apress, 2009

Functional programming is perhaps the next big wave in application development. As experienced developers know, functional programming makes its mark by allowing application builders to develop solutions to complicated programming situations cleanly and efficiently. A rich history of functional languages, including Erlang and OCaml, leads the...

The Character of Physical Law (Messenger Lectures, 1964)

MIT Press, 2001

In these Messenger Lectures, originally delivered at Cornell University and recorded for television by the BBC, Richard Feynman offers an overview of selected physical laws and gathers their common features into one broad principle of invariance. He maintains at the outset that the importance of a physical law is not "how clever...

Pro Hibernate 3 (Expert's Voice)

Apress, 2005

Pro Hibernate 3 is the first book to offer complete coverage of the open source lightweight Hibernate 3 and its new features. Authors Dave Minter and Jeff Linwood discuss the new persistence layer and share design tips and best practices. And the duo goes beyond just explaining "how to" use parts of Hibernate; they probe well...
