Intelligence: The Eye, the Brain, and the Computer

Addison Wesley, 1987

This book treats the question of how far we have come in understanding intelligence and in duplicating it mechanically. The major facets of intelligence--reasoning, vision, language and learning are discussed as an approach to contrasting biological intelligence with current computer realizations....

The Art of Problem Solving in Organic Chemistry

John Wiley & Sons, 1987

For students of advanced organic chemistry, this text develops problem-solving skills using fifty-six challenging, organic chemistry problems covering a wide variety of chemical systems. Concentrates on necessary and fundamental concepts in the introductory chapters. Valuable not only as a study guide and source of interesting problems, but also as...

Bridge to Abstract Mathematics: Mathematical Proof and Structures

Random House, 1987

Intended to bridge the gap between the standard calculus sequence and more abstract upper-division mathematics courses, this successful text provides a firm foundation in sets, logic, and mathematical proof methods. The Second Edition includes a smoother transition from the concepts of logic to actual use of these concepts in proving theorems;...

Fast Reliable Algorithms for Matrices with Structure (Advances in Design and Control)

SIAM, 1987

This book is the first to pay special attention to the combined issues of speed and numerical reliability in algorithm development. These two requirements have often been regarded as competitive, so much so that the design of fast and numerically reliable algorithms for large-scale structured systems of linear equations, in many cases, remains a...

The Mathematics of Combustion (Frontiers in Applied Mathematics)

SIAM, 1987

This book delves into the rapidly changing area of combustion, in which asymptotic methods and bifurcation theory have made a significant impact as have the constant-density, small-heat-release models and other important contributions.

This is the second volume in the SIAM series Frontiers in Applied Mathematics. This continuing series...

Industrial Mathematics: A Course in Solving Real-World Problems

SIAM, 1987

'This is REAL. It has a different spirit. It gives students the distinct feeling that they could go into industry and actually work on problems like those in this book. The standard teaching of 'here is the mathematics, use it to solve this problem' has been replaced with 'here is a problem, use mathematics to solve it.' This book refreshes the...

The elements of artificial intelligence: An introduction using LISP (Principles of computer science series)

Computer Science Press, 1987

Today there is a growing recognition of computer science as laboratory science. In addition to the mathematical theory that supports techniques in subareas such as artifical intelligence, the student needs to work with actual programs and problems to get a feel for the technology. This book grew out of the perception that hands-on...

Quantum Field Theory

McGraw-Hill, 1987

Quantum field theory has remained throughout the years one of the most important tools in understanding the microscopic world. The recent years have seen a blossoming of developments and applications which go far beyond the original scope.

Our attempt at presenting a pedagogical survey of this subject arose from lectures given in...

Robust Statistical Procedures (CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics)

SIAM, 1987

When SIAM contacted me about the preparation of a second edition of this booklet, it became clear almost immediately that any attempt to rewrite the booklet would invite the danger of spoiling its purpose. The booklet had served me well as a skeleton and draft outline for my subsequent book Robust Statistics (Wiley, 1981). I...

Interpreting anaphors in natural language texts (Ellis Horwood series in artificial intelligence)

Halsted Press, 1987

Perhaps the major obstacle to the development of computer programs capable of the sophisticated processing of natural language is the problem of representing and using the large and varied quantities of world or domain knowledge that are, in general, required. This book describes an attempt to circumvent this obstacle for one...

Proceedings of the Eighth Workshop on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments and the Third Workshop (Proceedings in Applied Mathematics)

SIAM, 1987

The annual Workshop on Algorithm Engineering and Experiments (ALENEX) provides a forum for the presentation of original research in all aspects of algorithm engineering, including the implementation and experimental evaluation of algorithms and data structures. The workshop was sponsored by SIAM, the Society for Industrial and Applied...

Implementation of the Icon Programming Language (Princeton Series in Computer Science)

Princeton Press, 1987

Icon is a high-level, general-purpose programming language that offers a broad range of string- and list-processing facilities. It also has a novel expression evaluation mechanism and allows an unusual degree of run-time flexibility. Because of these features, implementing Icon presents problems considerably different from those involved with...
