 Programming Language Pragmatics, Third Edition
A course in computer programming provides the typical student's first exposure to the field of computer science. Most students in such a course will have used computers all their lives, for email, games, web browsing, word processing, social networking, and a host of other tasks, but it is not until they write their first programs that... |  |  Clever Algorithms: Nature-Inspired Programming Recipes
The need for this project was born of frustration while working towards my
PhD. I was investigating optimization algorithms and was implementing
a large number of them for a software platform called the Optimization
Algorithm Toolkit (OAT)1. Each algorithm required considerable effort
to locate the relevant source material (from... |  |  Game Programming Gems 8
Welcome to the eighth edition of the Game Programming Gems series, started by Mark DeLoura in 2000. The first edition was inspired by Andrew Glassner‘s popular Graphics Gems series. Since then, other Gems series have started, including AI Gems and a new series focused on the capabilities of programmable graphics, the ShaderX series.... |

 Texturing and Modeling, Third Edition: A Procedural Approach
What is a realistic image? This is an age-old question in art, and a contemporary
question in computer graphics. This book provides a modern answer involving the
computer and a new definition of realism.
The classic definition of realism has been veridical realism. Does the picture pass
the comparison test? That is, would an... |  |  The Mathematics of Coding Theory
This book is intended to be accessible to undergraduate students with two
years of typical mathematics experience, most likely meaning calculus with a little
linear algebra and differential equations. Thus, specifically, there is no assumption
oLa background inabstr&;t algebra or number theory, nor of probability, nor of
linear... |  |  Handbook of Cosmetic Science and Technology, Third Edition
Thanks to the contribution of leading experts in cosmetology, the first editions of the Handbook
were successful and received excellent reviews. The editors appreciate the excellent author
contributions.
The first edition, published in 2001, reviewed the multiple facets of the cosmetic field
including the physiology of... |

 Curves and Surfaces for Computer Graphics
Images are all around us. We see them in color and in high resolution. In fact, the
natural images we see with our eyes seem perfectly smooth, with no jagged edges and
no graininess. Computer graphics, on the other hand, deals with images that consist
of small dots, pixels. When we first hear of this feature of computer graphics, we... |  |  Self-Assembled Nanomaterials II: Nanotubes (Advances in Polymer Science)
Nanotechnology is the creation of useful materials, devices, and systems through the control of matter on the nanometer-length scale. This takes place at the scale of atoms, molecules, and supramolecular structures. In the world of chemistry, the rational design ofmolecular structures and optimized control of self-assembly conditions have... |  |  Applied Calculus of Variations for Engineers
The subject of calculus of variations is to find optimal solutions to engineering problems where the optimum may be a certain quantity, a shape, or a function. Applied Calculus of Variations for Engineers addresses this very important mathematical area applicable to many engineering disciplines. Its unique,... |

 Biopharmaceuticals in Plants: Toward the Next Century of Medicine
Transgenic plants present enormous potential to become one of the most cost-effective and safe systems for large-scale production of proteins for industrial, pharmaceutical, veterinary, and agricultural uses. Over the past decade, much progress has been made with respect to the development of vaccines, antibodies, and other therapeutic... |  |  The Evolution of Central Banks
The Evolution of Central Banks employs a wide range of historical evidence and reassesses current monetary analysis to argue that the development of non-profit-maximizing and noncompetitive central banks to supervise and regulate the commercial banking system fulfils a necessary and natural function. Goodhart surveys the case for free... |  |  Fenaroli's Handbook of Flavor Ingredients, Sixth Edition
The Industry Standard for 38 Years
Since publication of the first edition in 1971, Fenaroli’s Handbook of Flavor Ingredients has remained the standard reference for flavor ingredients throughout the world. Each subsequent edition has listed more flavor ingredients and allied... |
