Genetic algorithms (GAs) are randomized search and optimization techniques
guided by the principles of evolution and natural genetics; they have a large
amount of implicit parallelism. GAs perform multimodal search in complex
landscapes and provide near-optimal solutions for objective or tness func
tion of an...
Applied Engineering Failure Analysis: Theory and Practice provides a point of reference for engineering failure analysis (EFA) cases, presenting a compilation of case studies covering a 35-year period, from the 1970s to 2012. This period spans the era from the time when slide rules were used routinely for...
Learn how to troubleshoot Windows 10 the way the experts do, whatever device or form-factor you’re using. Focus on the problems that most commonly plague PC users and fix each one with a step-by-step approach that helps you understand the cause, the solution, and the tools required. Discover the connections between the...
It takes a powerful suite of technologies to drive the most-visited websites in the world. PHP, mySQL, JavaScript, and other web-building languages serve as the foundation for application development and programming projects at all levels of the web.
The emphasis of the book is given in how to construct different types of solutions (exact, approximate analytical, numerical, graphical) of numerous nonlinear PDEs correctly, easily, and quickly. The reader can learn a wide variety of techniques and solve numerous nonlinear PDEs included and many other differential equations, simplifying...
Do you want to improve your Bash skills? Be aware of the common or not-so-common pitfalls of interactive Bash usage? Or simply test your friends (and/or your employees!) with subtle brainteasers? Then, this book is for you! The goal of the book is to let you discover a thing or two about the Bash and Linux/Unix command line by solving...
MATLAB By Example guides the reader through each step of writing MATLAB programs. The book assumes no previous programming experience on the part of the reader, and uses multiple examples in clear language to introduce concepts and practical tools. Straightforward and detailed instructions allow beginners to learn and develop their...
This book uses MATLAB as a computing tool to explore traditional DSP topics and solve problems. This greatly expands the range and complexity of problems that students can effectively study in signal processing courses. A large number of worked examples, computer simulations and applications are provided, along with theoretical aspects that...
Algorithms for Interviews (AFI) aims to help engineers interviewing for software development positions. The primary focus of AFI is algorithm design. The entire book is presented through problems interspersed with discussions. The problems cover key concepts and are well-motivated, challenging, and fun to solve.
