An Invitation to Computer Science, 2nd Edition $73.49 Now updated to include the most recent developments in Web and network technology, this best-selling introduction to computer science provides a breadth-first overview of the full range of topics in this dynamic discipline: algorithms, hardware design, computer organization, system software, language models, programming, compilation, theory of computation, applications, networks, artificial intelligence, and the impact of computers on society. The authors present these topics in the context of a big picture, – six-layer hierarchy of abstractions – starting with the algorithmic foundations of computer science, and working upward from low-level hardware concepts through virtual machine environments, languages, software, and applications programs to the social issues raised by computer technology. Each layer in the hierarchy builds on ideas and concepts presented earlier. An accompanying lab manual provides exploratory lab experiences tied to the text material. The Second Edition features the use of C++ for teaching the basics of programming, with a C++ compiler provided with the accompanying lab manual. This compiler includes a graphics library that students use to create shapes and images as part of a new section in Chapter 7 on “Graphical Programming.” |

Introduction to Expert Systems $137.68 In May 1997, IBM s Deeper Blue defeated the world chess champion Gary Kasparov, showing that an artificial intelligence system can outplay even the most skilled of human experts. Since the first expert systems appeared in the late sixties, we have seen three decades of research and development engineer human knowledge to more practical ends, in a pioneering effort that has integrated diverse areas of cognitive and computer science. Today, expert systems exist in many forms, from medical diagnosis to investment analysis and from counseling to production control.This third edition of Peter Jackson s best-selling book updates the technological base of expert systems research and embeds those developments in a wide variety of application areas. The earlier chapters have been refocused to take a more practical approach to the basic topics, while the later chapters introduce new topic areas such as case-based reasoning, connectionist systems and hybrid systems. Results in related areas, such as machine learning and reasoning with uncertainty, are also accorded a thorough treatment. The new edition contains many new examples and exercises, most of which are in CLIPS, a language that combines production rules with object-oriented programming. LISP, PROLOG and C++ are also featured where appropriate. Interesting problems are posed throughout, and are solved in exercises involving the analysis, design and implementation of CLIPS programs. This book will prove useful to a wide readership including general readers, students and teachers, software engineers and researchers. Its modular structure enables readers to follow a pathway most suited to their needs, providing themwith an up-to-date account of expert systems technology. Key Features 50 page appendix devoted to the CLIPS programming language, which is used as the main vehicle for examples and exercises New coverage includes case-based reasoning, connectionist systems and hybrid system |

MATLAB Programming for Engineers $156.88 The first text of its kind, Stephen Chapman’s best selling book on MATLAB has now been updated to reflect MATLAB 6.0. The first edition has been highly successful in engineering schools where introductory programming is taught using MATLAB rather than a traditional programming language. Although C, C++, and Java suit the needs of computer science students well, most engineering students will not be programmers by trade. Engineering students use computer tools to perform complex tasks such as scientific calculations, data analysis, simulations, and visualization: all skills students will use again in upper level classes. MATLAB provides several built in toolkits to help students accomplish these tasks, as well as an integrated devlopment environment. This book is distinctly unique from other MATLAB books in two ways. First, it is an introduction to MATLAB as a technical programming language rather than an introduction to the MATLAB environment. The author includes numerous pedagogical tools such as special boxes that highlight good programming practices, boxes that detail common pitfalls in MATLAB programming, and numerous programming exercises and examples. The book also makes wide use of MATLAB’s predefined functions that provide tested solutions and time saved in writing subroutines or functions. Second, the book teaches students how to write clean, efficient, and documented programs using sound problem solving techniques. Top-down programming methodology is introduced to the students in Ch. 3 and is used consistently thoughout the rest of the book. This encourages students to think about the proper design of a program before beginning to code. |

Mathematical Techniques in Finance $80.31 Modern finance overlaps with many fields of mathematics, and for students this can represent considerable strain. Mathematical Techniques in Finance is an ideal textbook for Masters finance courses with a significant quantitative element while also being suitable for finance Ph.D. students. Developed for the highly acclaimed Master of Science in Finance program at Imperial College London, it offers a carefully crafted blend of numerical applications and theoretical grounding in economics, finance, and mathematics. In the best engineering tradition, AleS Cerný mixes tools from calculus, linear algebra, probability theory, numerical mathematics, and programming to analyze in an accessible way some of the most intriguing problems in financial economics. Eighty figures, over 70 worked examples, 25 simple ready-to-run computer programs, and several spreadsheets further enhance the learning experience. Each chapter is followed by a number of classroom-tested exercises with solutions available on the book’s web site.Applied mathematics is a craft that requires practice–this textbook provides plenty of opportunities to practice it and teaches cutting-edge finance into the bargain. Asset pricing is a common theme throughout the book; and readers can follow the development from discrete one-period models to continuous time stochastic processes. This textbook sets itself apart by the comprehensive treatment of pricing and risk measurement in incomplete markets, an area of current research that represents the future in risk management and investment performance evaluation. |

Physical Database Design $59.05 The rapidly increasing volume of information contained in relational databases places a strain on databases, performance, and maintainability, and DBAs are under greater pressure than ever to optimize database structure for system performance and administration. Physical Database Design discusses the concept of how physical structures of databases affect performance and includes specific examples, guidelines, and best and worst practices for a variety of DBMSs and configurations. Something as simple as improving the table index design has a profound impact on performance. Every form of relational database, such as Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), Enterprise Resource Management (ERP), Data Mining (DM), or Management Resource Planning (MRP), can be improved using these methods.
