Numerical Computing with IEEE Floating Point Arithmetic

SIAM, 2001

Are you familiar with the IEEE floating point arithmetic standard? Would you like to understand it better? This book gives a broad overview of numerical computing, in a historical context, with a special focus on the IEEE standard for binary floating point arithmetic. Key ideas are developed step by step, taking the reader from floating point...

Curves and Singularities

Cambridge University Press, 1985

The object of this book is to introduce to a new generation of students an area of mathematics that has received a tremendous impetus during the last twenty years or so from developments in singularity theory.

The differential geometry of curves, families of curves and surfaces in Euclidean space has fascinated mathematicians and users...

Advanced Topics in Fuzzy Graph Theory (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing (375))

Springer, 2019

This book builds on two recently published books by the same authors on fuzzy graph theory. Continuing in their tradition, it provides readers with an extensive set of tools for applying fuzzy mathematics and graph theory to social problems such as human trafficking and illegal immigration. Further, it especially focuses on advanced...

Wrox Press, 2006

This book is for project managers, IT administrators, and anyone whose role consists of administering Team Foundation Server on a daily basis, running a software project, setting up users, or handling security.

Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of...

Spatial Analysis, GIS and Remote Sensing: Applications in the Health Sciences

CRC Press, 2000

This new book explores the rapidly expanding applications of spatial analysis, GIS and remote sensing in the health sciences, and medical geography. For the practitioner or researcher this book is full of useful techniques if your work applies to environmental and public health, biostatistics, epidemiology, health services, medical geography,...

Computer-Based Numerical & Statistical Techniques (with CD-ROM)(Mathematics)

Jones and Bartlett Publishers, 2007

T he limitations of analytical methods in practical applications have led mathematicians to evolve numerical methods. We know that exact methods often fail in drawing plausible inferences from a given set of tabulated data or in finding roots of transcendental equations or in solving non-linear differential equations.

Even if analytical...

Digital Dice: Computational Solutions to Practical Probability Problems

Princeton Press, 2008

"Paul Nahin's Digital Dice is a marvelous book, one that is even better than his Duelling Idiots. Nahin presents twenty-one great probability problems, from George Gamow's famous elevator paradox (as corrected by Donald Knuth) to a bewildering puzzle involving two rolls of toilet paper, and he solves them all with the aid...

Level Sets and Extrema of Random Processes and Fields

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

Level Sets and Extrema of Random Processes and Fields discusses how to understand the properties of the level sets of paths as well as how to compute the probability distribution of its extremal values, which are two general classes of problems that arise in the study of random processes and fields and in related applications. This book...

Elements of Data Compression

Course Technology PTR, 2001

The data compression field has always been an important part of computer science, and it is becoming increasingly popular and important today. Although computers become faster and data storage becomes less expensive and more efficient, the in creased importance of sound and video necessitates the use of at least a small mea sure of...

Algorithms in Modern Mathematics and Computer Science: Proceedings, Urgench

Springer, 1981

Some TIME ago a group of mathematicians and computer scientists (including the editors of this volume) thought of making a scientific pilgrimage to the birthplace of al-Khw&rizmf, the outstanding ninth-century mathematician who gave his name to the word "algorithm". As his name indicates, al-Khwarizmi came from the Khorezm...

3D Game Engine Design: A Practical Approach to Real-Time Computer Graphics

CRC Press, 2006

The first edition of 3D Game Engine Design was an international bestseller that sold over 17,000 copies and became an industry standard. In the six years since that book was published, graphics hardware has evolved enormously. Hardware can now be directly controlled through techniques such as shader programming, which...

Being Alongside: For the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics

Stenhouse Publishers, 2013

How do you establish a classroom culture in which students routinely conjecture and think mathematically? How do you establish a way of working with teachers, using video, in which discussion supports professional development? The present book offers answers to these questions through an in depth (enactivist) study of one exceptional teacher...
