In Pursuit of the Traveling Salesman: Mathematics at the Limits of Computation
In Pursuit of the Traveling Salesman: Mathematics at the Limits of Computation

What is the shortest possible route for a traveling salesman seeking to visit each city on a list exactly once and return to his city of origin? It sounds simple enough, yet the traveling salesman problem is one of the most intensely studied puzzles in applied mathematics--and it has defied solution to this day. In this book, William Cook...

The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, 20th  Anniversary Edition
The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, 20th Anniversary Edition
The classic book on the human elements of software engineering. Software tools and development environments may have changed in the 21 years since the first edition of this book, but the peculiarly nonlinear economies of scale in collaborative work and the nature of individuals and groups has not changed an epsilon. If you write code or...
Channel-Adaptive Technologies and Cross-Layer Designs for Wireless Systems with Multiple Antennas: Theory and Applications
Channel-Adaptive Technologies and Cross-Layer Designs for Wireless Systems with Multiple Antennas: Theory and Applications
Wireless communications is one of the most active areas of research over the
past and the current decades. In fact, the demand for wireless services has been
changing from the regular voice telephony services to mixed voice, data, and
multimedia services over the wireless media. Since the mid-1990s, the wireless
industry has
...
The Constants of Nature: From Alpha to Omega--the Numbers That Encode the Deepest Secrets of the Universe
The Constants of Nature: From Alpha to Omega--the Numbers That Encode the Deepest Secrets of the Universe
A major contribution to our understanding of the basic laws of the universe -- from the author of The Book of Nothing.

The constants of nature are the fundamental laws of physics that apply throughout the universe: gravity, velocity of light, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. They encode the deepest secrets of the...

The Fractal Geometry of Nature
The Fractal Geometry of Nature
Imagine an equilateral triangle. Now, imagine smaller equilateral triangles perched in the center of each side of the original triangle--you have a Star of David. Now, place still smaller equilateral triangles in the center of each of the star's 12 sides. Repeat this process infinitely and you have a Koch snowflake, a mind-bending geometric...
Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification
Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification
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...
Data Mining: A Knowledge Discovery Approach
Data Mining: A Knowledge Discovery Approach
“If you torture the data long enough, Nature will confess,” said 1991 Nobel-winning economist Ronald Coase. The statement is still true. However, achieving this lofty goal is not easy. First, “long enough” may, in practice, be “too long” in many applications and thus unacceptable. Second,...
Mathematical Models of Spoken Language
Mathematical Models of Spoken Language
Humans use language to convey meaningful messages to each other. Linguistic competence consists in the ability to express meaning reliably, not simply to obtain faithful lexical transcriptions. This invaluable reference tool is the product of many years' experience and research on language and speech technology. It presents the motivations for,...
Artificial Cognition Systems
Artificial Cognition Systems
The central questions confronting artificial intelligence and cognitive science revolve around the nature of meaning and of mind. Minds are presumed to be the processors of mental content, where that content has the capacity to influence our speech and other behavior. The hard part is figuring out how that is done. Mental states must exercise...
Systems Bioinformatics: An Engineering Case-Based Approach
Systems Bioinformatics: An Engineering Case-Based Approach
The high-throughput nature of bioinformatics and system biology has made traditional biological methods, which tend to focus one or two molecules at a time, obsolete. It has made engineering and problem solving skills essential to attack the resulting complex, multiscale problems. Certain technologies, such as robotics automation, microfabrication,...
The Essential Galileo
The Essential Galileo
Edited and translated by Maurice A. Finocchiaro, an international authority on Galileo, this collection makes available to scholars and students an excellent and extensive selection of Galileo's key works from his early career to the end of his life - some in toto and some represented by key selections. It presents not only Galileo's most famous...
The Fabulous Fibonacci Numbers
The Fabulous Fibonacci Numbers
"...delightful...accessible to anyone who enjoys or enjoyed high school mathematics. Mathematics teachers from middle school through college will find this book fun to read and useful in the classroom. The authors consider more properties, relationships, and applications of the Fibonacci numbers than most other sources do...I enjoyed reading...
