The Artful Universe Expanded

Oxford University Press, 2005

Our love of art, writes John Barrow, is the end product of millions of years of evolution. How we react to a beautiful painting or symphony draws upon instincts laid down long before humans existed. Now, in this enhanced edition of the highly popular The Artful Universe, Barrow further explores the close ties between our aesthetic appreciation and...

The Fractal Geometry of Nature

W. H. Freeman, 1983

Imagine an equilateral triangle. Now, imagine smaller equilateral triangles perched in the center of each side of the original triangle--you have a Star of David. Now, place still smaller equilateral triangles in the center of each of the star's 12 sides. Repeat this process infinitely and you have a Koch snowflake, a mind-bending geometric...

The Fractal Structure of Data Reference: Applications to the Memory Hierarchy

Springer, 2000

For purposes of understanding its performance, a computer system is traditionally viewed as a processor coupled to one or more disk storage devices, and driven by externally generated requests (typically called transactions). Over the past several decades, very powerful techniques have become available to the performance analyst attempting to...

Topics in Mathematical Analysis (Series on Analysis, Applications and Computation)

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

This volume consists of a series of lecture notes on mathematical analysis. The contributors have been selected on the basis of both their outstanding scientific level and their clarity of exposition. Thus, the present collection is particularly suited to young researchers and graduate students. Through this volume, the editors intend to provide...

Assouad Dimension and Fractal Geometry (Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics, Series Number 222)

Cambridge University Press, 2020

The Assouad dimension is a notion of dimension in fractal geometry that has been the subject of much interest in recent years. This book, written by a world expert on the topic, is the first thorough account of the Assouad dimension and its many variants and applications in fractal geometry and beyond. It places the theory of the Assouad...

A Nonlinear Dynamics Perspective of Wolfram's New Kind of Science

World Scientific Publishing, 2011

Volume IV continues the author's odyssey on l-D cellular automata as chronicled in Volumes I, II and III, by uncovering a novel quasi-ergodicity phenomenon involving orbits meandering among omega-limit orbits of complex (group 5) and hyper (group 6) Bernoulli rules. This discovery is embellished with analytical formulas characterizing the...

Grammatical Picture Generation: A Tree-Based Approach

Springer, 2006

This book introduces the reader to the notions, the techniques, and the theory of grammatical picture generation, a research field focusing on formal systems that describe sets of pictures by means of syntactic rules. The book presents important types of picture generators, using a tree-based approach to stress their common algorithmic basis, the...

Electrochemistry of Porous Materials

CRC Press, 2009

Porous materials continue to attract considerable attention because of their wide variety of scientific and technological applications, such as catalysis, shape- and size-selective absorption and adsorption, gas storage, and electrode materials. Both research and applications of porous materials—via electroanalysis, electrosynthesis,...

Mastering Algorithms with Perl

O'Reilly, 1999

Many programmers would love to use Perl for projects that involve heavy lifting, but miss the many traditional algorithms that textbooks teach for other languages. Computer scientists have identified many techniques that a wide range of programs need, such as:

Fuzzy pattern matching for text (identify misspellings!) ...

Predict Market Swings With Technical Analysis

John Wiley & Sons, 2002

Predict Market Swings with Technical Analysis

How do professionals on Wall Street earn a living each year by predicting stock prices when efficient market theory claims that stock prices are essentially random and unpredictable? The answer is simple–by using techniques that allow for a stock market that can at times become predictable....

Data Preparation for Data Mining (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)

Morgan Kaufmann, 1999

Data Preparation for Data Mining addresses an issue unfortunately ignored by most authorities on data mining: data preparation. Thanks largely to its perceived difficulty, data preparation has traditionally taken a backseat to the more alluring question of how best to extract meaningful knowledge. But without adequate preparation of your...
