August Mobius was one of the 19th century's most influential mathematicians and astronomers. Written by six distinguished contributors, this book explores the work of Mobius and his brilliant German contemporaries. The work emphasizes those achievements which in many ways can be seen to reflect the exciting advances taking place at the time...
This book is intended for anyone who wants to become a better Lisp programmer.
It assumes some familiarity with Lisp, but not necessarily extensive programming
experience. The first few chapters contain a fair amount of review. I hope that
these sections will be interesting to more experienced Lisp programmers as well,
because they...
A major revision of a textbook on intermediate macroeconomics, a new emphasis on long run growth is now added to the book's strengths and even more international material - particularly international policy examples - is featured. "Macroeconomics", by two internationally known economists, offers a balance of theory, economic...
Of all currently available database systems, object-oriented database systems represent some of the most promising ways of meeting the demands of the most advanced applications, in those situations where conventional systems have proved inadequate. This book deals systematically with object-oriented systems and looks at their data models and...
The Complete Guide to Software Testing Bill Hetzel Gain a new perspective to software testing as a life cycle activity, not merely as something that happens at the end of coding. This edition is completely revised and contains new chapters on testing methodologies including ANSI standard-based testing—a survey of testing practices. Dr....
Discusses topics in the field of quantum topology, including: knot theory, exotic spheres and global gravitational anomolies; construction of 4D topological quantum field theories; computing the arf invariants of links; and the Casson invariants for two-fold branched covers of links.
The Mathematica Handbook is intended to provide a convenient reference of all built-in Mathematica Version 2.0 objects to both beginning and advanced users of Mathematica alike. This book arose out of the need to have a convenient reference of all Mathematica commands and objects along with typical examples of them. In addition, The Mathematica...
The Motif Programming Manual is a source for complete, accurate, and insightful guidance on Motif application programming. There is no other book that covers the ground as thoroughly or as well as this one. The book has been updated to Motif 1.2, but is still usable with Motif 1.1.
The Testability of Distributed Real-Time Systems starts by collecting and analyzing all principal problems, as well as their interrelations that one has to keep in mind wh4en testing a distributed real-time system. The book discusses them in some detail from the viewpoints of software engineering, distributed systems principles, and real-time...
Computer hardware has experienced the most dramatic improvement in capabilities and costs ever known to humankind. In just 40 years, we have seen room-sized computers, with little more processing power than today's pocket calculators, evolve into fingernail-sized devices with near supercomputer performance. This miracle has been made possible...
This handy desktop reference gathers together into one easy-to-use volume the most popular image processing algorithms. Designed to be used at the computer terminal, it features an illustrated, annotated dictionary format — with clear, concise definitions, examples, and C program code. Covers algorithms for adaptive filters, coding and...
Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition takes the pioneering work in artificial neural networks by Stephen Grossberg and his colleagues to a new level. In a simple and accessible way it extends embedding field theory into areas of machine intelligence that have not been clearly dealt with before. Following a tutorial of existing neural...
