This invaluable book has been designed to be useful to most practising scientists and engineers, whatever their field and however rusty their mathematics and programming might be. The approach taken is largely practical, with algorithms being presented in full and working code (in Basic, Fortran, Pascal And C) included on a floppy disk to...

This book introduces embedded systems to C and C++ programmers. Topics include testing memory devices, writing and erasing Flash memory, verifying nonvolatile memory contents, controlling on-chip peripherals, device driver design and implementation, optimizing embedded code for size and speed, and making the most of C++...

With the dramatic changes in computing power and wider availability of software tools for design and production, engineers are now using CAD/CAM/CAE systems for everyday tasks, not just for demonstrations. International competition, de- creased availability of skilled labor, and increased emphasis on quality are also forcing...

The aim of this volume is to offer a balanced overview of molecular Rydberg spectroscopy as it has developed over recent decades. Recent evolution has split Rydberg spectroscopy into two apparently distinct fields: the one concerns the low (n=3-5) Rydberg states, the other the very high (typically n>150) Rydberg states. The former is aimed...

This was the prediction I made in the...

Active Server Pages (ASP) allows for powerful web application development. It is
both simple to use and, with its extensibility through ActiveX and Java components,
very powerful. But what is it? Is it a programming language? No, not exactly.
Is it a Microsoft-only rapid development platform? No, not really.
...

The book begins with a tour of some underlying factors in modeling databases. Here, the author distinguishes between the external,...

The FreeBSD Handbook is a comprehensive FreeBSD tutorial and reference. It covers installation, day-to-day use of FreeBSD, and much more, such as the Ports collection, creating...

Advanced algebra in the service of contemporary mathematical research-- a unique introduction.

This volume takes an altogether new approach to advanced algebra. Its intriguing title, inspired by the term postmodernism, denotes a departure from van der Waerden's Modern Algebra--a book that has dominated the field for...
