Modeling is practiced in engineering and all physical sciences. Many specialized texts exist - written at a high level - that cover this subject. However, students and even professionals often experience difficulties in setting up and solving even the simplest of models. This can be attributed to three difficulties: the proper choice of model,... |

Linear Programming and Network Flows
Linear Programming deals with the problem of minimizing or maximizing a
linear function in the presence of linear inequalities. Since the development of
the simplex method by George B. Dantzig in 1947, linear programming has been
extensively used in the military, industrial, governmental, and urban planning
fields, among others. The... | | Analytic Hyperbolic Geometry And Albert Einstein's Special Theory Of RelativityThis book presents a powerful way to study Einstein's special theory of relativity and its underlying hyperbolic geometry in which analogies with classical results form the right tool. It introduces the notion of vectors into analytic hyperbolic geometry, where they are called gyrovectors.
Newtonian velocity addition is the common vector... | | Turing (A Novel about Computation)Our hero is Turing, an interactive tutoring program and namesake (or virtual emanation?) of Alan Turing, World War II code breaker and father of computer science. In this unusual novel, Turing's idiosyncratic version of intellectual history from a computational point of view unfolds in tandem with the story of a love affair involving Ethel, a... |
