The C++ programming language, which includes C as a proper subset, has become the
preeminent programming language in the engineering and scientific fields. For most
engineers and scientists, however, using the full potential of C++, which is a hybrid language
containing both structured and object-oriented features, involves a gradual...
Thirty years ago mathematical, as opposed to applied numerical, computation was difficult to perform and so relatively little used. Three threads changed that: the emergence of the personal computer; the discovery of fiber-optics and the consequent development of the modern internet; and the building of the Three “M’s”...
The problem of turbulence and coherent structures is of key importance in
many fields of science and engineering. It is an area which is vigorously
researched across a diverse range of disciplines such as theoretical physics,
oceanography, atmospheric science, magnetically confined plasma, nonlinear
optics, etc. Modern studies...
