Algorithmic Puzzlesby Anany Levitin; Maria Levitin
Oxford University Press, USA 2011; US$ 21.95While 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$ 41.00In 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...

Problem Solving Handbook in Computational Biology and Bioinformaticsby Lenwood S. Heath; Naren Ramakrishnan
Springer 2011; US$ 129.00Bioinformatics 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$ 27.95Every 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...
Intelligent Software For Product Formulationby Ray Rowe; R. J. Roberts

Kalman Filtering and Neural Networksby Simon Haykin
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 139.95State-of-the-art coverage of Kalman filter methods for the design of neural networks This self-contained book consists of seven chapters by expert contributors that discuss Kalman filtering as applied to the training and use of neural networks. Although the traditional approach to the subject is almost always linear, this book recognizes and deals with the fact that real problems are most often nonlinear. The first chapter offers an introductory treatment of Kalman filters with an emphasis on basic Kalman filter theory, Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoother, and the extended Kalman filter. Other chapters cover: An algorithm for the training of feedforward and recurrent multilayered perceptrons, based on the decoupled extended Kalman filter (DEKF)... more...
