In my last book, Geometry for Computer Graphics, I employed a mixture of algebra and vector analysis to prove many of the equations used in computer graphics.
A few years ago, in the Wren Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, I came across a remarkable but then little-known album of pencil and watercolour portraits.
In order to build a successful, Java-based application it is important to have a clear understanding of the principles underlying the various financial models.
Non-Gaussian distributions are the key theme of this book which addresses the causes and consequences of non-normality and time dependency in both asset returns and option prices.
Overview Modelling and simulation is a tool that provides support for the planning, design, and evaluation of systems as well as the evaluation of strategies for system transformation and change.
The purpose of this book is to present a self-contained description of the fun- damentals of the theory of nonlinear control systems, with special emphasis on the differential geometric approach.
"e;Advanced Control of Industrial Processes"e; presents the concepts and algorithms of advanced industrial process control and on-line optimisation within the framework of a multilayer structure.
Computer science abounds with applications of discrete mathematics, yet s- dents of computer science often study discrete mathematics in the context of purely mathematical applications.
Based on over 15 years' experience in the design and delivery of successful first-year courses, this book equips undergraduates with the mathematical skills required for degree courses in economics, finance, management and business studies.
Lie groups and Lie algebras have become essential to many parts of mathematics and theoretical physics, with Lie algebras a central object of interest in their own right.
Network Calculus is a mathematical theory concerned with deriving performance bound networks and this book aims to show that it can provide useful methods for designing and engineering networks.
Aimed at graduate and postgraduate students and researchers in mathematics and the applied sciences, this book provides an introductory account of scattering phenomena and a guide to the technical requirements for investigating wave scattering problems.
A topic of significant interest to the CSCW, IT and IS communities is the issue of how software and other technical systems come to be adopted and used.
The applications of image-based measurement are many and various: image-guided surgery, mobile-robot navigation, component alignment and photogrammetry, among others.
Developed from a course taught to senior undergraduates, this book provides a unified introduction to Fourier analysis and special functions based on the Sturm-Liouville theory in L2.
Geometric algebra (a Clifford Algebra) has been applied to different branches of physics for a long time but is now being adopted by the computer graphics community and is providing exciting new ways of solving 3D geometric problems.
Mathematical Linguistics introduces the mathematical foundations of linguistics to computer scientists, engineers, and mathematicians interested in natural language processing.
