Engineering of Software: The Continuing Contributions of Leon J. Osterweil

Springer, 2011

Software engineering research can trace its roots to a small number of highly influential individuals. Among that select group is Prof. Leon J. Osterweil, whose work has fundamentally defined or impacted major directions in software analysis, developmenttools and environments, and software process. His exceptional and sustained contributions...

Mathematics for 3D Game Programming and Computer Graphics, Third Edition

Course Technology PTR, 2011

This updated third edition illustrates the mathematical concepts that a game developer needs to develop 3D computer graphics and game engines at the professional level. It starts at a fairly basic level in areas such as vector geometry and linear algebra, and then progresses to more advanced topics in 3D programming such as illumination and...

Phase Transitions in Machine Learning

Cambridge University Press, 2011

From its inception in the 1930s, the rich and vigorous field of computer science has been concerned with the resources, both in time and in memory, needed to carry out a computation. A number of fundamental theorems were discovered that resorted to a worst-case analysis. The central question was whether a given algorithm could be...

Chemical Graph Theory: Introduction and Fundamentals (Mathematical Chemistry, Vol 1)

Taylor & Francis, 1991

This volume presents the fundamentals of graph theory and then goes on to discuss specific chemical applications. Chapter 1 provides a historical setting for the current upsurge of interest in chemical graph theory. chapter 2 gives a full background of the basic ideas and mathematical formalism of graph theory and includes such chemically...

Electron Microscopy in Heterogeneous Catalysis (Series in Microscopy in Materials Science)

Taylor & Francis, 2002

Electron Microscopy in Heterogeneous Catalysis describes the unique role electron microscopy plays in the immensely important field of heterogeneous catalysis. It brings together several disciplines, namely surface science, solid state chemistry and physics, materials science, chemical engineering and crystallography. The work described in...

Integrating Microelectronics into Gas Distribution

Taylor & Francis, 1990

This volume contains papers presented at the first and second IGT symposia on microelectronics in the gas industry. The first was held November 18–20, 1985, in Orlando, Florida. The second symposium was held September 8–10, 1986, in Fontana, Wisconsin.

The purpose of these symposia was to disseminate information on...

Nuclear Medicine in Pharmaceutical Research

Taylor & Francis, 1999

Huge sums of money are invested annually by the pharmaceutical industry into improved treatments for diseases including cancer, arthritis and AIDS. In the United Kingdom alone, almost one fifth of all industrial research and development is performed by the pharmaceutical industry, which in turn puts back more than one fifth of...

Emergency Planning for Industrial Hazards

Taylor & Francis, 1990

Recent events worldwide have again highlighted the need for effective emergency measures for hazards connected with the process industries and the large scale storage of dangerous substances. The Commission of the European Communities, DG XI, in collaboration with the JRC Ispra Establishment, has therefore organised the...

Next Generation Photovoltaics: High Efficiency through Full Spectrum Utilization (Series in Optics and Optoelectronics)

Taylor & Francis, 2003

This book results from a meeting that took place in Cercedilla, Madrid, Spain in March 2002. The meeting was about new ideas that could lead us to better use of the solar spectrum with the ultimate goal of achieving superior photovoltaic devices and, consequently, a reduction in their price. The meeting, despite being short,...

Seeing the Unseen. Geophysics and Landscape Archaeology

Taylor & Francis, 2008

SEEING THE UNSEEN. GEOPHYSICS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGY is a collection of papers presented at the advanced XV International Summer School in Archaeology ‘Geophysics for Landscape Archaeology’ (Grosseto, Italy, 10-18 July 2006). Bringing together the experience of some of the world’s greatest experts in the field of...

Learning Unix for OS X Mountain Lion: Using Unix and Linux Tools at the Command Line

O'Reilly, 2012

It’s been a long time since we went through the dramatic transition from Mac OS 9 to the more complicated and graphically rich world of OS X. Many of you reading this have never known a Mac interface that wasn’t actually OS X (pronounce that “oh-ess ten” to sound cool). The biggest change...

Calculus: Early Transcendentals

W. H. Freeman, 2007

Calculus has a deservedly central role in higher education. It is not only the key to the full range of scientific and engineering disciplines; it is also a crucial component in a student’s intellectual development. I hope my text will help to open up this multifaceted world of ideas for the student. Like a great...
