Algorithms and Theory of Computation Handbook (Chapman & Hall/CRC Applied Algorithms and Data Structures series)

CRC Press, 1998

This comprehensive compendium of algorithms and data structures covers many theoretical issues from a practical perspective. Chapters include information on finite precision issues as well as discussions on specific algorithms where algorithmic techniques are of special importance - for example, algorithms for drawing graphs, algorithms for...

Algorithms and Computation: 18th International Symposium, ISAAC 2007, Sendai, Japan, December 17-19, 2007, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Springer, 2008

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation, ISAAC 2007, held in Sendai, Japan, in December 2007. The 77 revised full papers presented together with two invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 220 submissions. The papers included topical sections on...

Visibility Algorithms in the Plane

Cambridge University Press, 2007

A human observer can effortlessly identify visible portions of geometric objects present in the environment. However, computations of visible portions of objects from a viewpoint involving thousands of objects is a time consuming task even for high speed computers. To solve such visibility problems, efficient algorithms have been designed. This...

When Least Is Best: How Mathematicians Discovered Many Clever Ways to Make Things as Small (or as Large) as Possible

Princeton Press, 2007

This book was terrific fun to read! I thought I would skim the chapters to write my review, but I was hooked by the preface, and read through the first 100 pages in one sitting... [Nahin shows] obvious delight and enjoyment--he is having fun and it is contagious. -- Bonnie Shulman MAA Online When Least is Best is clearly the result of immense...

Biometrics, Computer Security Systems and Artificial Intelligence Applications

Springer, 2006

This book presents the most recent achievements in the field of a very fast developing Computer Science. It is a very fascinating science, which still encompasses a number of uncovered areas of study with urgent problems to be solved. Therefore, thousands of scientists are dealing with it elaborating on more and more practical and efficient...

Algebra: Introductory and Intermediate

Brooks Cole, 2006

The fourth edition of Algebra: Introductory and Intermediate examines the fundamental ideas of algebra. Recognizing that the basic principles of geometry are a necessary part of mathematics, we have also included a separate chapter on geometry (Chapter 3) and have integrated geometry topics, where appropriate, throughout the...

Image-Based Modeling

Springer, 2010

“This book guides you in the journey of 3D modeling from the theory with elegant mathematics to applications with beautiful 3D model pictures. Written in a simple, straightforward, and concise manner, readers will learn the state of the art of 3D reconstruction and modeling.” —Professor Takeo Kanade, Carnegie Mellon...

Automotive Development Processes: Processes for Successful Customer Oriented Vehicle Development

Springer, 2009

The book – based on the corresponding graduate course the author held at Clemson University, South Carolina – is a comprehensive, practically oriented presentation of the vehicle development processes. Based on the key question of the product strategy ("Which factors guarantee the product development’s success?") it...

Geometry: The Third Book of Foundations (The Foundations Trilogy)

Bloomsbury Reference, 2017

In this third installment of his classic 'Foundations' trilogy, Michel Serres takes on the history of geometry and mathematics. Even more broadly, Geometry is the beginnings of things and also how these beginnings have shaped how we continue to think philosophically and critically. Serres rejects a traditional history of mathematics...

Numerical Recipes 3rd Edition: The Art of Scientific Computing

Cambridge University Press, 2007

Co-authored by four leading scientists from academia and industry, Numerical Recipes Third Edition starts with basic mathematics and computer science and proceeds to complete, working routines. Widely recognized as the most comprehensive, accessible and practical basis for scientific computing, this new edition incorporates more than 400...

Groups and Symmetries: From Finite Groups to Lie Groups (Universitext)

Springer, 2009

The theory of group representations is a fundamental subject at the intersection of algebra, geometry and analysis, with innumerable applications in other domains of pure mathematics and in the physical sciences: chemistry, molecular biology and physics, in particular crystallography, classical and quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.
