Numerical Geometry of Non-Rigid Shapes (Monographs in Computer Science)

Springer, 2008

Deformable objects are ubiquitous in the world surrounding us, on all levels from micro to macro. The need to study such shapes and model their behavior arises in a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from medicine to security. In recent years, non-rigid shapes have attracted growing interest, which has led to rapid development of the field,...

Invitation to Noncummutative Geometry

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

This is the first existing volume that collects lectures on this important and fast developing subject in mathematics. The lectures are given by leading experts in the field and the range of topics is kept as broad as possible by including both the algebraic and the differential aspects of noncommutative geometry as well as recent applications to...

Collision Detection in Interactive 3D Environments

Morgan Kaufmann, 2003

The heart of any system that simulates the physical interaction between objects is collision detectionthe ability to detect when two objects have come into contact. This system is also one of the most difficult aspects of a physical simulation to implement correctly, and invariably it is the main consumer of CPU cycles. Practitioners, new to the...

Riemannian Geometry: A Modern Introduction (Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics)

Cambridge University Press, 2006

"Each chapter concludes with an excellent section of notes and advanced exercises with further results, with hints and sketches of solutions at the end of the book...I think that it is the best reference on Riemannian geometry available, especially for someone interested in isoperimetric problems...Chavel is one of about a dozen mathematics...

The Art and Craft of Problem Solving

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

The newly revised Second Edtion of this distinctive text uniquely blends interesting problems with strategies, tools, and techniques to develop mathematical skill and intuition necessary for problem solving. Readers are encouraged to do math rather than just study it. The author draws upon his experience as a coach for the International...

Automated Deduction in Geometry: 4th International Workshop, ADG 2002, Hagenberg Castle, Austria, September 4-6, 2002

Springer, 2004

Automated deduction in geometry has several roots that go back to developments in the 20th century. These fundamental methods in ADG are the quantifier elimination method of Tarski and Collins, the method of characteristic sets of Ritt and Wu, and the Gröbner basis method of Buchberger. Based on these algorithmic techniques various geometric...

$Vector Games Math Processors (Wordware Game Math Library)$

Vector Games Math Processors (Wordware Game Math Library)

Wordware Publishing, 2002

Vector math processors have, up until recently, been in the domain of
the supercomputer, such as the Cray computers. Computers that have
recently joined this realm are the Apple Velocity Engine (AltiVec)
coprocessor of the PowerPC G4 in Macintosh and UNIX computers, as
well as IBM’s Power PC-based Gekko used in the...

Great Feuds in Mathematics: Ten of the Liveliest Disputes Ever

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

Mathematical disputes offer indisputable proof that great mathematical minds are calculating in more ways than one. Fueled by greed, jealousy, ambition, and ego, they have plots worthy of a soap opera, pitting brother against brother, father against son, and student against mentor.

In the sixteenth century, Cardano and Tartaglia battled...

Geometric Problems on Maxima and Minima

Birkhauser, 2005

Questions of maxima and minima have great practical significance, with applications to physics, engineering, and economics; they have also given rise to theoretical advances, notably in calculus and optimization. Indeed, while most texts view the study of extrema within the context of calculus, this carefully constructed problem book takes a...
