Making Sense of Motherhood: A Narrative Approach

Cambridge University Press, 2005

Becoming a mother changes lives in many ways, and this book explores how women try to make sense of, and narrate their experiences of, first-time motherhood in industrialized society. It charts the social, cultural and moral contours of contemporary motherhood and engages with sociological and feminist debates on how selves are constituted,...

JavaTech, an Introduction to Scientific and Technical Computing with Java

Cambridge University Press, 2005

Java is a serious language suitable for demanding applications in science and
engineering. Really, we promise! Java offers a lot more than just those little
applets in your Web browser.

In JavaTech we focus on how Java can perform useful tasks in technical computing.
These tasks might involve an animated simulation to...

Numerical Methods in Engineering with MATLAB

Cambridge University Press, 2005

This book is targeted primarily toward engineers and engineering students of advanced
standing (sophomores, seniors and graduate students). Familiarity with a
computer language is required; knowledge of basic engineering subjects is useful, but
not essential.

The text attempts to place emphasis on numerical methods, not...

Fundamentals of Wireless Communication

Cambridge University Press, 2005

Wireless communication is one of the most vibrant areas in the communication
field today. While it has been a topic of study since the 1960s,
the past decade has seen a surge of research activities in the area. This is
due to a confluence of several factors. First, there has been an explosive
increase in demand for tetherless...

Codes and Ciphers: Julius Caesar, the Enigma, and the Internet

Cambridge University Press, 2001

For at least two thousand years there have been people who wanted to
send messages which could only be read by the people for whom they
were intended. When a message is sent by hand, carried from the sender
to the recipient, whether by a slave, as in ancient Greece or Rome, or by
the Post Office today, there is a risk of it...

Performance Analysis of Communications Networks and Systems

Cambridge University Press, 2006

Performance analysis belongs to the domain of applied mathematics. The
major domain of application in this book concerns telecommunications systems
and networks. We will mainly use stochastic analysis and probability
theory to address problems in the performance evaluation of telecommunications
systems and networks. The first...

Space-Time Coding: Theory and Practice

Cambridge University Press, 2005

The use of multiple antennas in most future wireless communication systems seems
to be inevitable. Today, the main question is how to include multiple antennas and
what are the appropriate methods for specific applications. The academic interest in
space-time coding and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems has been...

The Economics of Mobile Telecommunications

Cambridge University Press, 2005

This book distils years of work on the mobile telecommunications industry.
I became interested in this industry for professional reasons during the
mid-1990s, a period when the industry was making the jump from a
premium service industry for mostly professional users to a truly mass
market. In my capacity as an applied...

The Rise and Decline of the State

Cambridge University Press, 1999

The state, which since the middle of the seventeenth century has been the most important and most characteristic of all moderninstitutions, is in decline. From Western Europe to Africa, either voluntarily or involuntarily, many existing states are either combining into larger communities or falling apart. Regardless of whether they fall apart or...

A Computational Introduction to Number Theory and Algebra

Cambridge University Press, 2005

"This is an outstanding and well-written book whose aim is to introduce the reader to a broad range of material -- ranging from basic to relatively advanced -- without requiring any prior knowledge on the part of the reader other than calculus and mathematical maturity. That the book succeeds at this goal is quite an accomplishment! ...this...

Rippling: Meta-Level Guidance for Mathematical Reasoning

Cambridge University Press, 2005

The automation of mathematical reasoning has been an important topic of research almost since computers were invented. The new technique of rippling, described here for the first time in book form, is designed to be an approach to mathematical reasoning that takes into account ideas of heuristics and searching. Rippling addresses...

Advances in Elliptic Curve Cryptography (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series)

Cambridge University Press, 2005

Since the appearance of the authors' first volume on elliptic curve cryptography in 1999 there has been tremendous progress in the field. In some topics, particularly point counting, the progress has been spectacular. Other topics such as the Weil and Tate pairings have been applied in new and important ways to cryptographic...
