The first part of this preface is for the student, the second for the instructor. Some
readers may find it helpful to look at both.Whoever you are, welcome!
This easy-to-follow textbook introduces the mathematical language, knowledge and problem-solving skills that undergraduates need to study computing. The language is in part...
Ordered sets are ubiquitous in mathematics and have significant applications in computer science, statistics, biology and the social sciences. As the first book to deal exclusively with finite ordered sets, this book will be welcomed by graduate students and researchers in all of these areas. Beginning with definitions of key concepts and...
A comprehensive introduction to various numerical methods used in computational finance today
Quantitative skills are a prerequisite for anyone working in finance or beginning a career in the field, as well as risk managers. A thorough grounding in numerical methods is necessary, as is the ability to assess their quality,...
This is the best text on complexity theory I have seen, and could easily become the standard text on the subject...This is the first modern text on the theory of computing. ---William Ward Jr, Ph.D, University of South Alabama
Taking a practical approach, this modern introduction to the theory of computation focuses on the study of...
This book is an introductory text on a number of topics in discrete mathematics, intended primarily for students undertaking a first degree in computing. The first edition of the book grew out of a set of lecture notes of mine which were used in a first-year subject in discrete mathematics at Monash University. The subject was taken by students...
Although the highly anticipated petascale computers of the near future will perform at an order of magnitude faster than today’s quickest supercomputer, the scaling up of algorithms and applications for this class of computers remains a tough challenge. From scalable algorithm design for massive concurrency toperformance analyses and...
Translated from the original Finnish material by Hanna Niemelä, Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland
In one complete volume, this essential reference presents an in-depth overview of the theoretical principles and techniques of electrical machine design. This book enables you to design...
Discrete-Time and Discrete-Space Dynamical Systems provides a systematic characterization of the similarities and differences of several types of discrete-time and discrete-space dynamical systems, including:
Possibly the most comprehensive overview of computer graphics as seen in the context of geometric modelling, this two volume work covers implementation and theory in a thorough and systematic fashion. Computer Graphics and Geometric Modelling: Implementation and Algorithms, covers the computer graphics part of the field of geometric modelling and...
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...
Developed from the authors, combined total of 50 years undergraduate and graduate teaching experience, this book presents the finite element method formulated as a general-purpose numerical procedure for solving engineering problems governed by partial differential equations.
Focusing on the formulation and application of the...
From its inception in the 1930s, the rich and vigorous field of computer science
has been concerned with the resources, both in time and in memory, needed to
carry out a computation. A number of fundamental theorems were discovered
that resorted to a worst-case analysis. The central question was whether a given
algorithm could be...
