Ordinary and Partial Differential Equation Routines in C, C++, Fortran, Java, Maple, and MATLAB

CRC Press, 2003

Initial value ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs) are among the most widely used forms of mathematics in science and engineering. However, insights from ODE/PDE-based models are realized only when solutions to the equations are produced with acceptable accuracy and with reasonable effort.

Most...

The Dirac Equation (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics)

Springer, 1993

The Dirac Equation is a modern presentation of the relativistic quantum mechanics of electrons intended to make new mathematical results accessible to a wider audience. It treats in some depth the relativistic invariance of a quantum theory, self-adjointness and spectral theory, qualitative features of relativistic bound and...

Computational Acoustics of Noise Propagation in Fluids - Finite and Boundary Element Methods

Springer, 2008

Among numerical methods applied in acoustics, the Finite Element Method (FEM) is normally favored for interior problems whereas the Boundary Element Method (BEM) is quite popular for exterior ones.

That is why this valuable reference provides a complete survey of methods for computational acoustics, namely FEM and BEM. It demonstrates...

Imaging the Cheops Pyramid (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications)

Springer, 2011

In this book Egyptian Archeology and Mathematics meet.

The author is an expert in theories and applications in Solid Mechanics and Inverse Problems, a former professor at Ecole Polytechnique and now works with Electricité de France on maintenance operations on nuclear power plants. In the Autumn of 1986, after the...

Practical C++ Financial Programming

Apress, 2015

Practical C++ Financial Programming is a hands-on book for programmers wanting to apply C++ to programming problems in the financial industry. The book explains those aspects of the language that are more frequently used in writing financial software, including the STL, templates, and various numerical libraries. The book also...

Super Crunchers: Why Thinking-by-Numbers Is the New Way to Be Smart

Bantam, 2007

Why would a casino try and stop you from losing? How can a mathematical formula find your future spouse? Would you know if a statistical analysis blackballed you from a job you wanted?

Today, number crunching affects your life in ways you might never imagine. In this lively and groundbreaking new book, economist Ian Ayres...

A History of Modern Computing, 2nd Edition

MIT Press, 2003

Computers were invented to ‘‘compute’’: to solve ‘‘complex mathematical problems,’’ as the dictionary still defines that word. They still do that, but that is not why we are living in an ‘‘Information Age.’’ That reflects other things that computers do: store and retrieve data,...

Unlocking Dynamical Diversity: Optical Feedback Effects on Semiconductor Lasers

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

Applications of semiconductor lasers with optical feedback systems are driving rapid developments in theoretical and experimental research. The very broad wavelength-gain-bandwidth of semiconductor lasers combined with frequency-filtered, strong optical feedback create the tunable, single frequency laser systems utilised in telecommunications,...

Windows Azure Platform

Apress, 2011

In the past couple of years, cloud computing has emerged as a disruptive force in the information technology (IT) industry. Its impact is of the same magnitude as the Internet and offshoring. Gartner Research has identified cloud computing as one of the “top 10 disruptive technologies 2008–2012.” According to...

Compositing Visual Effects: Essentials for the Aspiring Artist

Focal Press, 2007

Put the essential concepts and techniques of digital compositing to work for you without the need of a single mathematical equation. Compositing Visual Effects is lavishly illustrated with hundreds of film shots, figures, illustrations and diagrams to help the visual reader gain a valuable vocabulary and understanding of the full range of visual...

Advances in the Homotopy Analysis Method

World Scientific Publishing, 2014

Unlike other analytic techniques, the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is independent of small/large physical parameters. Besides, it provides great freedom to choose equation type and solution expression of related linear high-order approximation equations. The HAM provides a simple way to guarantee the convergence of solution series. Such...

Fine Cuts: The Art of European Film Editing

Focal Press, 2005

The motion picture was born in Edison’s New Jersey laboratory in 1889 and spent an innocent childhood at fairground sideshows around the world, amusing and astonishing audiences with its one trick – single-shot representations of events like The Sneeze, The Kiss, Train Arriving at the Station, Workers Leaving the Factory. Then around...
