Computational Line Geometry (Mathematics and Visualization)

Springer, 2010

The geometry of lines occurs naturally in such different areas as sculptured surface machining, computation of offsets and medial axes, surface reconstruction for reverse engineering, geometrical optics, kinematics and motion design, and modeling of developable surfaces. This book covers line geometry from various viewpoints and aims towards...

Topology for Computing (Cambridge Monographs on Applied and Computational Mathematics)

Cambridge University Press, 2005

Written by a computer scientist for computer scientists, this book teaches topology from a computational point of view, and shows how to solve real problems that have topological aspects involving computers. Such problems arise in many areas, such as computer graphics, robotics, structural biology, and chemistry. The author starts from the basics...

Computer Viruses: from theory to applications (Collection IRIS)

Springer, 2005

This book deals with computer viruses envisaged from three different points of view, namely the theoretical fundamentals of computer virology, algorithmic and practical aspects of viruses and their potential applications to various areas. The theoretical formalization by means of Turing machines, self-reproducing automata and recursive functions...

Graph Theory: A Problem Oriented Approach (Mathematical Association of America Textbooks)

The Mathematical Association of America, 2008

Graph Theory presents a natural, reader-friendly way to learn some of the essential ideas of graph theory starting from first principles. The format is similar to the companion text, Combinatorics: A Problem Oriented Approach also by Daniel A. Marcus, in that it combines the features of a textbook with those of a problem...

Gamification by Design: Implementing Game Mechanics in Web and Mobile Apps

O'Reilly, 2011

Gamification may be a new term, but the idea of using game-thinking and game mechanics to solve problems and engage audiences isn’t exactly new. The military has been using games and simulations for hundreds (if not thousands) of years, and the U.S. military has been a pioneer in the use of video games across branches. Three...

JavaScript Data Structures and Algorithms: An Introduction to Understanding and Implementing Core Data Structure and Algorithm Fundamentals

Apress, 2019

The motivation for writing this book was the lack of resources available about data structures and algorithms written in JavaScript. This was strange to me because today many of the job opportunities for software development require knowledge of JavaScript; it is the only language that can be used to write the entire stack, including the...

The Food Connection: The Right Food at the Right Time

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

THE FOOD CONNECTION will show you:

How to balance your hormonal system to positively affect weight, motivation, sleep patterns and cognitive abilities

How to jump start your health with the seven-day "World's Best Diet"

The 17 bioenergetic foods to eat daily

How...

SOA Modeling Patterns for Service Oriented Discovery and Analysis

John Wiley & Sons, 2010

One of the most challenging tasks in today’s business and information technology (IT) environments is to communicate a solution to an organizational problem in a simple manner that can be easily understood by business and IT personnel alike. Is it also arduous to explain in simple words how a remedy to an enterprise concern can be...

Concurrency Theory: Calculi an Automata for Modelling Untimed and Timed Concurrent Systems

Springer, 2005

In the world we live in concurrency is the norm. For example, the human body
is a massively concurrent system, comprising a huge number of cells, all simultaneously
evolving and independently engaging in their individual biological
processing. In addition, in the biological world, truly sequential systems rarely
arise. However,...

Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)

Morgan Kaufmann, 2006

A very ambitious undertaking, masterfully described. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first published version of the detailed models implied by the Zachman Framework. David Hay builds the models one step at a time, describing in each increment why the new entities were added, and how they related to the rest of the model. At least as...

Digital Signal Processing System-Level Design Using LabVIEW

Newnes, 2005

For many years, I have been teaching DSP (Digital Signal Processing) lab courses
using various TI (Texas Instruments) DSP platforms. One question I have been getting
from students in a consistent way is, “Do we have to know C to take DSP lab
courses?” Until last year, my response was, “Yes, C is a prerequisite for...

Computational Geometry: Algorithms and Applications

Springer, 2008

This well-accepted introduction to computational geometry is a textbook for high-level undergraduate and low-level graduate courses. The focus is on algorithms and hence the book is well suited for students in computer science and engineering. Motivation is provided from the application areas: all solutions and techniques from computational...
