Getting Acquainted With FractalsThe first instance of pre-computer fractals was noted by the French mathematician Gaston Julia. He wondered what a complex polynomial function would look like, such as the ones named after him (in the form of z2 + c, where c is a complex constant with real and imaginary parts). The idea behind this formula is that one takes the x and y coordinates... | | Transformations and Projections in Computer GraphicsThere is no question that computer graphics has become an important field that pervades our lives in many areas. Many advertisements on television and in magazines are graphical and are created on computers. The screens of computers, PDAs, cellular telephones, and similar devices interact graphically with the user. More and more fulllength feature... | | Green's Functions for Solid State PhysicistsThis volume shows how the analytic properties in the complex energy plane of the Green's functions of many particle systems account for the physical effects (level, shifts, damping, instabilities) characteristic of interacting systems. It concentrates on general physical principles and, while it does not discuss experiments in detail, includes... |

Are You Afraid of the Dark? : A Novel
All around the globe, people are being reported dead or missing.
In Berlin, a woman vanishes from the city streets. In Paris, a man plunges from the Eiffel Tower. In Denver, a small plane crashes into the mountains. In Manhattan, a body washes ashore along the East River. At first these seem to be random incidents, but the police... | | Laser Velocimetry in Fluid Mechanics
In fluid mechanics, velocity measurement is fundamental in order to improve the behavior knowledge of the flow. Velocity maps help us to understand the mean flow structure and its fluctuations, in order to further validate codes.
Laser velocimetry is an optical technique for velocity measurements; it is based on light scattering by... | | Just Doing My Job: Stories of Service from World War II
Preserving the personal histories of civilians and soldiers who united to defend America during the Second World War, this oral history tells the stories of ordinary citizens who left jobs and families behind to contribute to the war effort. Chronicling the sacrifices made by otherwise average people, this ... |

Ray Tracing from the Ground Up
Computer graphics involves simulating the distribution of light in a 3D
environment. There are only a few fundamentally different algorithms that
have survived the test of time. They can be loosely classified into projective
algorithms and image-space algorithms. The former class projects each geo
metric primitive onto the... | | | | |
