Besides the “classical” fields of application in photography, graphics and web design, it plays an important role in 3-D modelling, both in the creation of textures and in the post-production of rendered...

Workflows are being rethought and remodelled across the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) spectrum. The synthesis of building information modelling (BIM) platforms with digital simulation techniques and increasing access to data, charting building performance, is allowing architects to engage in the generation of new workflows...

"This impressive hardback introduces fundamentals of information and communications security by providing mathematical concepts to prove or break the security of cryptographic schemes. … The book is designed for upper-level undergraduates and graduate level students in computer science. This comprehensive volume is...

IBM Cognos TM1 is one of the most popular multidimensional analysis tools used to build collaborative planning, budgeting, and forecasting solutions, as well as analytical and reporting applications. This cube-based technology does fast number crunching at the server end and helps end customers move away from manual and tedious planning,...

The objective of this self-contained book is two-fold. First, the reader is introduced  to the modelling and  mathematical analysis used in fluid mechanics, especially concerning the Navier-Stokes equations which is the basic model for the flow of incompressible viscous fluids. Authors introduce mathematical tools so that the reader...

Digital control systems are becoming increasingly prevalent and important within industry. In recent years significant progress has been made in their analysis and design – particularly within the areas of microprocessors and digital signal processors. The traditional approach to teaching digital control assumes an understanding of...
