Books as solid as this one don't just spring out of the Spectrum without a serious investment of time and e ffort.
And there has been plenty of both time and effort spent making sure this collection of games for your Spectrum is as good as we could make it. Drawing on the work of some of the UK's best young computer programmers, I've...
In the chapters that follow, you'll find illustrated plans for a wide assortment of semiconductor circuits and projects that will pay for themselves many times over through useful service. If you're like most of my colleagues in the field, you'll discover just the kind of clear instructions and practical circuits you're after. Each circuit...
Concurrent processes can exhibit extremely complicated behavior, and
neither informal reasoning nor testing is reliable enough to establish their
correctness. In this thesis, we develop a new technique for the verification
of parallel programs. The technique is stated in terms of axioms and inference
rules, and it is used to prove...
Why get into furniture restoration?

This elementary introduction pays special attention to aspects of tensor calculus and relativity that students tend to find most difficult. Its use of relatively unsophisticated mathematics in the early chapters allows readers to develop their confidence within the framework of Cartesian coordinates before undertaking the theory of tensors in...
'A careful and brilliant statement of the conditions of human freedom. It is a major work of political and economic philosophy which sets terms that neither its friends or critics can ignore.' - THES
At last this work can appear in the form it was intended to take when I started on it nearly twenty years ago. Half...
The field of machine perception concerns the building of machines
that sense and interpret their environments. This book is about visual
perception. Potential applications for such systems include tasks such as
automation of industrial processes of inspection and assembly,
automated medical x-ray diagnosis, vehicle guidance and...
This popular textbook on error control coding has been thoroughly revised and updated to include all the important new developments in the field over the past 20 years. Three major new topics in the theory and application of coding are highlighted in this second edition:
An important aspect of teaching a course in compiler writing is to illustrate
the key theoretical concepts normally taught in such a course. A frequently used
strategy for achieving this goal is to have a student design a simple programming
language and implement a compiler for this language. Many texts in compiler
writing do not,...
The C Puzzle Book is an excellent choice for all programmers who want to expand on their basic knowledge of the C programming language. Completely compliant with ANSI C, this book has been designed to help readers gain a more thorough understanding of the C syntax and semantics through interesting puzzles that challenge the readers'...
In 2480 B.C. a development occurred which was to have a tremendous impact on Mocsian society. A small group of civil engineerine teachers at the most advanced institution worked out a new techniLlue for designing a building. Key elements of this technique were several new structural geometries and the application of a newly developed mathematical...
