Guide to Scientific Computing in C++ (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science)

Springer, 2012

Many books have been written on the C++ programming language, varying across a spectrum from the very practical to the very theoretical. This book certainly lies at the practical end of this spectrum, and has a particular focus for the practical treatment of this language: scientific computing.

Traditionally,...

IBM Websphere Portal 8: Web Experience Factory and the Cloud

Packt Publishing, 2012

When I joined IBM in early 2001, WebSphere Portal was little more than an idea. But some believed this was going to be the future of web technology. When WebSphere Portal v1 was released later in that same year, spending the time required to cobble together the components needed to make it run, was an exercise in patience and...

The Extreme Searcher's Internet Handbook: A Guide for the Serious Searcher

Information Today, 2004

Several years ago, Thomas’s English Muffins had an ad that proclaimed that the tastiness of their muffins was due to the presence of myriad “nooks and crannies.” The same may be said of the Internet. It is in the Internet’s nooks and crannies that the true “tastiness” often lies. Almost every...

The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide (Now in Color!)

No Starch Press, 2012

LEGO bricks have been engaging builders young and old for decades. There are a number of ways to connect LEGO bricks, and millions of different things can be created with them. For many builders, the possibilities can be overwhelming. The question is often the same: “How do I get started?”...

Learning Unix for OS X Mountain Lion: Using Unix and Linux Tools at the Command Line

O'Reilly, 2012

It’s been a long time since we went through the dramatic transition from Mac OS 9 to the more complicated and graphically rich world of OS X. Many of you reading this have never known a Mac interface that wasn’t actually OS X (pronounce that “oh-ess ten” to sound cool). The biggest change...

The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century

Anchor Canada, 2010

A fascinating, eye-opening and often shocking look at what lies ahead for the U.S. and the world from one of our most incisive futurists.

In his thought-provoking new book, George Friedman, founder of STRATFOR—the preeminent private intelligence and forecasting firm—focuses on what he knows best, the future....

Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification

Course Technology PTR, 2011

As Eric S. Raymond reminds us, Open Source Software will continue to shape the dynamics of the computer software industry for the next long while, just as it has for the last decade. Coined and perpetuated by hackers, the term “Open Source Software” refers to software in which the source code is freely available to...

Thermodynamic Cycles: Computer-Aided Design and Optimization (Chemical Industries)

CRC Press, 2003

Development in classical thermodynamics is, logically and traditionally, aimed at the analysis of cycles. Computational efforts impose harsh constraints on the kinds and amounts of cycle analyses that can reasonably be attempted. Cycle simulations cannot approach realistic complexity. Even relative sensitivity analyses based on...

Polyurethane and Related Foams: Chemistry and Technology

CRC Press, 2006

Polyurethane foams debuted over 60 years ago. At the present time these types of foams make up the largest segment in the thermosetting foam industry. This book describes polyurethane (PUR) and urethane linkage-modified polyisocyanurate (PIR) foams. A characteristic of these foams lies in the versatility of their physical...

Electromagnetic Fields: Restrictions and Approximation

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

The subject of this book falls within the scope of three disciplines – the antennas theory, highfrequency electrodynamics and mathematical physics. There are problems in which these disciplines are fundamentally connected. They are the inverse problems of the high-frequency field theory, more precisely – the connection...

Nine Algorithms That Changed the Future: The Ingenious Ideas That Drive Today's Computers

Princeton Press, 2011

Computing is transforming our society in ways that are as profound as the changes wrought by physics and chemistry in the previous two centuries. Indeed, there is hardly an aspect of our lives that hasn't already been influenced, or even revolutionized, by digital technology. Given the importance of computing to modern society,...

High Performance Computing: Programming and Applications (Chapman & Hall/CRC Computational Science)

CRC Press, 2010

The future of high-performance computing (HPC) lies with large distributed parallel systems with three levels of parallelism, thousands of nodes containing MIMD* groups of SIMD* processors. For the past 50 years, the clock cycle of single processors has decreased steadily and the cost of each processor has decreased. Most applications would...
