Product Description

A concise yet solid introduction to advanced numerical methods,
this textbook introduces several major numerical methods for solving various partial differential equations (PDEs) in science and engineering, including elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic equations. It covers traditional techniques that include the classic finite difference method and the finite element method as well as state-of-the-art numerical methods, such as the high-order compact difference method and the radial basis function meshless method.

Helps Students Better Understand Numerical Methods through Use of MATLAB^®
The authors uniquely emphasize both theoretical numerical analysis and practical implementation of the algorithms in MATLAB, making the book useful for students in computational science and engineering. They provide students with simple, clear implementations instead of sophisticated usages of MATLAB functions.

All the Material Needed for a Numerical Analysis Course
Based on the authors’ own courses, the text only requires some knowledge of computer programming, advanced calculus, and difference equations. It includes practical examples, exercises, references, and problems, along with a solutions manual for qualifying instructors. Readers can download MATLAB source code from crcpress.com, which will allow them to easily modify or improve the codes to solve their own problems.

One of the best book on numerical analysis
I bought this book from Amazon.com for a graduate course in numerical solution of PDE. It comes with a CD that contain all MATLAB codes. This book is kind of middle of engneer and mathematician's perspective on numerical analysis. MATLAB codes runs great, exercise problems are also good to understand many difficult relavent concept. Overall, I think, this book is one the best numerical analysis book. Amazon did a little delay to deliver this book to me.

A valuale numerical PDE book
This book is one of the best written on the subject and is suitable for readers in a wide variety of fields, including mathematics, computational sciences and engineering. It is certainly well-suited for classroom use, and it includes many stand alone MATLAB source codes.

The book not only cover classic finite difference methods, but also finite element methods, and meshless methods. The book also include some advanced topics such as high-order compact difference methods, radial basis meshless methods and Maxwell's equaations in dispersive media.

I found those codes are very helpful for me to learn the algorithms (many books just talk the algorithms in the air), and I can even extend some codes in the book immediately for my research, since the authors kindly released their most recent work (such as compact scheme and meshless methods, which are currently quite active research areas) in the book.

Very useful!

Product Description

This book constitutes the refereed joint proceedings of seven international workshops held in conjunction with the 27th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2008, in Barcelona, Spain, in October 2008.

The 42 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 108 submissions. Topics addressed by the workshops are conceptual modeling for life sciences applications (CMLSA 2008), evolution and change in data management (ECDM 2008), foundations and practices of UML (FP-UML 2008), modeling mobile applications and services (M2AS 2008), requirements, intentions and goals in conceptual modeling (RIGiM 2008), semantic and conceptual issues in geographic information systems (SeCoGIS 2008), and Web information systems modeling (WISM 2008).

Product Description
This up-to-date review closes an important gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive description of the M?auer effect in lattice dynamics, along with a collection of applications in metals, alloys, amorphous solids, molecular crystals, thin films, and nanocrystals. It is the first to systematically compare M?auer spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation to conventional M?auer spectroscopy, discussing in detail its advantages and capabilities, backed by the latest theoretical developments and experimental examples.

Intended as a self-contained volume that may be used as a complete reference or textbook, it adopts new pedagogical approaches with several non-traditional and refreshing theoretical expositions, while all quantitative relations are derived with the necessary details so as to be easily followed by the reader. Two entire chapters are devoted to the study of the dynamics of impurity atoms in solids, while a thorough description of the Mannheim model as a theoretical method is presented and its predictions compared to experimental results.

Finally, an in-depth analysis of absorption of M?auer radiation is presented, based on recent research by one of the authors, resulting in an exact expression of fractional absorption, otherwise unavailable in the literature.
The whole is supplemented by elaborate appendices containing constants and parameters. ... Read more

Product Description
High-throughput sequencing and functional genomics technologies have given us a draft human genome sequence and have enabled large-scale genotyping and gene expression profiling of human populations. Databases containing large numbers of sequences, polymorphisms, and gene expression profiles of normal and diseased tissues in different clinical states are rapidly being generated for human and model organisms. Bioinformatics is thus rapidly growing in importance in the annotation of genomic sequences, in the understanding of the interplay between genes and proteins, in the analysis of the genetic variability of species, and so on. This proceedings contains an up-to-date exchange of knowledge, ideas, and solutions to conceptual and practical issues of bioinformatics, by researchers, professionals, and industrial practitioners at the 4th Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Conference held in Taipei in February 2006. ...

Product Description

This book addresses the algorithm analysis and VLSI architecture of video encoders, especially for high definition and scalable video coder. The three design challenges and related system issues of memory bandwidth (including system memory and internal memory), hardware area, and power consumption (required operating frequency) are all discussed.  With the high definition encoder, the authors focus on algorithm modification and design parallelism to provide high processing capability for the video encoder. Several corresponding hardware schedules are also included to cooperate with proposed architecture. For scalable video coding, the emphasis is placed not only on video algorithms, but also on hardware performance. The algorithm modification, data reuse schemes from frame-level to candidates-level, and architecture design contribute in the developing of three scalabilities and first MCTF hardware design.  Finally, the first SVC encoder chip for HDTV1080p is presented and all above design issues are considered together.
