Computational Linguistics and Talking Robots: Processing Content in Database Semantics

Springer, 2011

The practical task of building a talking robot requires a theory of how natural language communication works. Conversely, the best way to computationally verify a theory of natural language communication is to demonstrate its functioning concretely in the form of a talking robot, the epitome of human–machine communication. To...

Shoot Macro: Professional Macrophotography Techniques for Exceptional Studio Images

Amherst Media, 2014

Few areas of photography require the level of unwavering technical expertise required for successful macrophotography. When you’re shooting very big images of very small subjects, even tiny flaws—be it in the lighting, composition, focusing, or any other aspect of the process—can result in unusable images. In this...

Asset Attack Vectors: Building Effective Vulnerability Management Strategies to Protect Organizations

Apress, 2018

Build an effective vulnerability management strategy to protect your organization’s assets, applications, and data.

Today’s network environments are dynamic, requiring multiple defenses to mitigate vulnerabilities and stop data breaches. In the modern enterprise, everything connected to the network is a...

gnuplot Cookbook

Packt Publishing, 2012

gnuplot is a free, open source plotting program that has been in wide use since 1986. It's used as the graphics backend by many other programs, so plenty of people use gnuplot without knowing it. If you've used Octave, Maxima, statist, gretl, or the Emacs graphing calculator, you've already used gnuplot.

Calculus for Computer Graphics

Springer, 2013

Students studying computer animation and computer games have to be familiar with geometry, matrices, vectors, rotation transforms, quaternions, curves and surfaces, and as computer graphics software becomes increasingly sophisticated, calculus is also being used to resolve its associated problems.

The author draws upon his...

MATLAB Differential and Integral Calculus

Apress, 2014

MATLAB is a high-level language and environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. Using MATLAB, you can analyze data, develop algorithms, and create models and applications. The language, tools, and built-in math functions enable you to explore multiple approaches and reach a solution faster than with spreadsheets or...

Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves: Advanced Topics

John Wiley & Sons, 2001

Electromagnetic wave scattering is an active, interdisciplinary area of research with myriad practical applications in fields ranging from atomic physics to medical imaging to geoscience and remote sensing. In particular, the subject of wave scattering by random discrete scatterers and rough surfaces presents great theoretical challenges due to the...

Curves and Singularities

Cambridge University Press, 1985

The object of this book is to introduce to a new generation of students an area of mathematics that has received a tremendous impetus during the last twenty years or so from developments in singularity theory.

The differential geometry of curves, families of curves and surfaces in Euclidean space has fascinated mathematicians and users...

Mathematics for Computer Graphics

Springer, 2005

Baffled by maths? Then don't give up hope. John Vince will show you how to understand many of the mathematical ideas used in computer animation, virtual reality, CAD, and other areas of computer graphics. In thirteen chapters you will rediscover - and hopefully discover for the first time a new way of understanding - the mathematical techniques...

Acoustic Diffusers and Absorbers: Theory, Design and Application

Taylor & Francis, 2004

Every book tells a story and there is a story behind every book. This story begins in 1980, in the conference room of the laboratory for the structure of matter at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, where Peter D’Antonio was employed as a diffraction physicist. Knowing Peter’s interest in music, a colleague handed...

Modeling of Curves and Surfaces with MATLAB®

Springer, 2010

This text on geometry modeling is devoted to a number of central geometrical topics— graphs of functions, transformations, (non-)Euclidean geometries, curves and surfaces— and presents some elementary methods for analytical modeling and visualization of them.

In 1872 F. Klein proposed his Erlangen Programme in...
