  • Algorithmic Puzzlesby Anany Levitin; Maria Levitin

    Oxford University Press, USA 2011; US$ 21.95

    While many think of algorithms as specific to computer science, at its core algorithmic thinking is defined by the use of analytical logic to solve problems. This logic extends far beyond the realm of computer science and into the wide and entertaining world of puzzles. In Algorithmic Puzzles, Anany and Maria Levitin use many classic brainteasers as well as newer examples from job interviews with major corporations to show readers how to apply analytical thinking to solve puzzles requiring well-defined procedures. The book's unique collection of puzzles is supplemented with carefully developed tutorials on algorithm design strategies and analysis techniques intended to walk the reader step-by-step through the various approaches to algorithmic... more...

  • An Introduction to Parallel and Vector Scientific Computationby Ronald W. Shonkwiler; Lew Lefton

    Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 41.00

    In this introductory text, the fundamental algorithms of numerical linear algebra are developed in a parallel context. Topics include direct and iterative methods for solving linear systems, numerical methods for the eigenvector/eigenvalue problem and applications to Monte Carlo methods. more...

  • Logic in Computer Scienceby Michael Huth; Mark Ryan

    Cambridge University Press 2004; US$ 69.00

    This second edition continues to provide a clear introduction to formal reasoning which is both relevant to the needs of modern computer science and rigorous enough for practical application. Improvements have been made throughout, with many extra and expanded sections and exercises. The coverage of model-checking has been substantially updated. more...

  • Networks, Crowds, and Marketsby David Easley; Jon Kleinberg

    Cambridge University Press 2010; US$ 40.00

    Reveals the interdisciplinary field of networks, which changes how we look at social, financial and technological interactions in modern society. more...

  • Cassandra: The Definitive Guideby Eben Hewitt

    O'Reilly Media, Inc. 2010; US$ 31.99

    What could you do with data if scalability wasn't a problem? With this hands-on guide, you'll learn how Apache Cassandra handles hundreds of terabytes of data while remaining highly available across multiple data centers -- capabilities that have attracted Facebook, Twitter, and other data-intensive companies. Cassandra: The Definitive Guide provides the technical details and practical examples you need to assess this database management system and put it to work in a production environment. Author Eben Hewitt demonstrates the advantages of Cassandra's nonrelational design, and pays special attention to data modeling. If you're a developer, DBA, application architect, or manager looking to solve a database scaling issue or future-proof... more...

  • Problem Solving Handbook in Computational Biology and Bioinformaticsby Lenwood S. Heath; Naren Ramakrishnan

    Springer 2011; US$ 129.00

    Bioinformatics is growing by leaps and bounds; theories/algorithms/statistical techniques are constantly evolving. Nevertheless, a core body of algorithmic ideas have emerged and researchers are beginning to adopt a 'problem solving' approach to bioinformatics, wherein they use solutions to well-abstracted problems as building blocks to solve larger scope problems. "The Problem Solving Handbook for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics" is an edited volume contributed by world renowned leaders in this field. This comprehensive handbook with problem solving emphasis, covers all relevant areas of computational biology and bioinformatics. Web resources and related themes are highlighted at every opportunity in this central... more...

  • Nine Algorithms That Changed the Futureby John MacCormick; Chris Bishop

    Princeton University Press 2012; US$ 27.95

    Every day, we use our computers to perform remarkable feats. A simple web search picks out a handful of relevant needles from the world's biggest haystack: the billions of pages on the World Wide Web. Uploading a photo to Facebook transmits millions of pieces of information over numerous error-prone network links, yet somehow a perfect copy of the photo arrives intact. Without even knowing it, we use public-key cryptography to transmit secret information like credit card numbers; and we use digital signatures to verify the identity of the websites we visit. How do our computers perform these tasks with such ease? This is the first book to answer that question in language anyone can understand, revealing the extraordinary ideas that power... more...

  • Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information Systemsby George F. Pinder

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 130.00

    Cutting-edge techniques for groundwater modeling using GIS technology Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information Systems covers fundamental information on flow and mass transport modeling and demonstrates how GIS technology makes these models and analyses more accurate than ever before. GIS technology allows for swift organization, quantification, and interpretation of large quantities of geohydrological data with computer accuracy and minimal risk of human error. This book's companion Web site provides the Princeton Transport Code, as well as the plug-in extensions required to interface this code with the Argus ONE numerical environment software enclosed with this book. Plug-in extensions for MODFLOW and MT3D computer codes... more...

  • 'In Silico' Simulation of Biological Processesby Novartis Foundation

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 184.95

    Over recent decades vast amounts of biological data have been accumulated. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to apply traditional theoretical methods to the formulation of coherent pictures of cell and organ function because it is no longer possible for a human theorist to integrate all of the available information. Instead, computer technologies must now be used to perform this integration. This book brings together contributions from many different fields to summarize the current status of computer-assisted modelling of biological processes. The initial chapters deal with fundamental developments in hardware, software and mathematics that underlie current approaches to biological modelling. Next, different approaches to collating... more...

  • Database Design, Adobe Readerby Ryan Stephens; Ronald Plew

    Pearson Education 2000; US$ 31.99

    This is the eBook version of the printed book. Database Design is the book you need to master the fundamentals of relational database design in today's ever-evolving world of database technologies. This book takes an approach to database design to teach the reader how to reach into the inner depths of an organization to understand the business needs, data, and daily processes that will all blend together to formulate a successful database. Much emphasis is placed on logical design as it is imperative to understand the inner workings of an organization to produce the highest quality database, while proactively eliminating future problems that are not so easy for a beginner to foresee. Additionally, topics such as change control, business... more...
