Where and how can I find some good computer programming and science classes?

I am in the Navy and will be shipping off to boot camp soon. After that, it’s off to Navy Nuclear Power School. I would like to take some computer programming classes during my off time if possible. I’ve always loved PC gaming but could never actually understand the scripting in gaming mods let alone actually create my own mods. Also, on a more serious note, much of what I will use later in my career will be very computer heavy, so I would like to have a good understanding of computer languages.

When I was in the Navy, there were plenty of schools available and correspondence courses. Check them out first after you join up. You also might be able to qualify for a Pell Grant and take courses from a university like Ohio U.

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles EECS is an abbreviation for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. It is a designation used at some universities for the major or department that blends these two fields together. Curriculum for an EECS degree is comparable to the curriculum for a degree in Computer Engineering. One reason behind linking the two areas of study is to provide students with a broad overview of both software and hardware. However there are also reasons for not blending departments: Students who major in theoretical computer science, studying such topics as algorithm analysis and software engineering, may not have any use for extensive electrical engineering classes.

Holomorphic Q Classes $62.13 PMThe space Q p consists of all holomorphic functions f on the unit disk for which the L 2 area integrals of its derivative against the pth power of the Green function of the unit disk are uniformly bounded in the variable that survives the integration. It turns out that Q 1 coincides with BMOA, while, for pgt;1, Q p are just the Bloch space. For p/in (0,1) the Q p furnish an increasing sequence of spaces, each invariant under conformal mappings of the unit disk onto itself, which interpolate between the Dirichlet space and BMOA. This monograph covers a number of important aspects in complex, functional and harmonic analysis. The primary focus is Q p, p/in (0,1), and their equivalent characterizations. Based on the uptodate results obtained by experts in their respective fields, each of the eight chapters unfolds from the basics to the more complex.

Science in the Age of Computer Simulation $24 Computer simulation was first pioneered as a scientific tool in meteorology and nuclear physics in the period following World War II, but it has grown rapidly to become indispensible in a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including astrophysics, high-energy physics, climate science, engineering, ecology, and economics. Digital computer simulation helps study phenomena of great complexity, but how much do we know about the limits and possibilities of this new scientific practice? How do simulations compare to traditional experiments? And are they reliable? Eric Winsberg seeks to answer these questions in Science in the Age of Computer Simulation . Scrutinizing these issue with a philosophical lens, Winsberg explores the impact of simulation on such issues as the nature of scientific evidence; the role of values in science; the nature and role of fictions in science; and the relationship between simulation and experiment, theories and data, and theories at different levels of description. Science in the Age of Computer Simulation will transform many of the core issues in philosophy of science, as well as our basic understanding of the role of the digital computer in the sciences.

The Cognitive Dynamics of Computer Science $114 A groundbreaking, unifying theory of computer science for low-cost, high-quality software The Cognitive Dynamics of Computer Science represents the culmination of more than thirty years of the author’s hands-on experience in software development, which has resulted in a remarkable and sensible philosophy and practice of software development. It provides a groundbreaking ontology of computer science, while describing the processes, methodologies, and constructs needed to build high-quality, large-scale computer software systems on schedule and on budget. Based on his own experience in developing successful, low-cost software projects, the author makes a persuasive argument for developers to understand the philosophical underpinnings of software. He asserts that software in reality is an abstraction of the human thought system. The author draws from the seminal works of the great German philosophers–Kant, Hegel, and Schopenhauer–and recasts their theories of human mind and thought to create a unifying theory of computer science, cognitive dynamics, that opens the door to the next generation of computer science and forms the basic architecture for total autonomy. * Four detailed cases studies effectively demonstrate how philosophy and practice merge to meet the objective of high-quality, low-cost software. * The Autonomous Cognitive System chapter sets forth a model for a completely autonomous computer system, using the human thought system as the model for functional architecture and the human thought process as the model for the functional data process. * Although rooted in philosophy, this book is practical, addressing all the key areas that software professionals need to master in order to remain competitive and minimize costs, such as leadership, management, communication, and organization. This thought-provoking work will change the way students and professionals in computer science and software development conceptualize and perform their work. It provides them with both a philosophy and a set of practical tools to produce high-quality, low-cost software.

A Communications Protocol in a Synchronous Chat Environment: Student Satisfaction in a Web-Based Computer Science Course $18.97 The effects of a communications protocol in a synchronous on-line chat environment on the satisfaction of students in a Web-based computer science course was studied. Two undergraduate faculty members who teach Web-based courses, and 42 students in four separate computer science courses participated in the study. Students completed a pretest that measured their prior experience, current attitudes, and expectations with regards to synchronous chats in a Web-based course. Two classes of students were introduced to a communications protocol by the instructors that was used throughout the course while in synchronous chat. The other two classes did not use a protocol. A posttest was administered to all students at the end of each course that measured student satisfaction with the synchronous chats held throughout the semester. A communications protocol, in the context of this investigation, is a set of rules or guidelines that are adhered to by all participants while engaged in a synchronous electronic discussion. This study answered the question: What effect does a communications protocol in a synchronous on-line chat environment have on the satisfaction of students in a Web-based computer science course? The study showed that the use of a communications protocol in on-line synchronous chats had no effect on student satisfaction with Web-based courses.

Compiling Parallel Loops for High Performance Computers:: Partitioning, Data Assignment and Remapping $141.99 The exploitationof parallel processing to improve computing speeds is being examined at virtually all levels of computer science, from the study of parallel algorithms to the development of microarchitectures which employ multiple functional units. The most visible aspect of this interest in parallel processing is the commercially available multiprocessor systems which have appeared in the past decade. Unfortunately, the lack of adequate software support for the development of scientific applications that will run efficiently on multiple processors has stunted the acceptance of such systems. One of the major impediments to achieving high parallel efficiency on many data-parallel scientific applications is communication overhead, which is exemplified by cache coherency traffic and global memory overhead of interprocessors with a logically shared address space and physically distributed memory. Such techniques can be used by scientific application designers seeking to optimize code for a particular high-performance computer. In addition, these techniques can be seen as a necesary step toward developing software to support efficient paralled programs. In multiprocessor sytems with physically distributed memory, reducing communication overhead involves both data partitioning and data placement. Adaptive Data Partitioning (ADP) reduces the execution time of parallel programs by minimizing interprocessor communication for iterative data-parallel loops with near-neighbor communication. Data placement schemes are presented that reduce communication overhead. Under the loop partition specified by ADP, global data is partitioned into classes for each processor, allowing each processor to cachecertain regions of the global data set. In addition, for many scientific applications, peak parallel efficiency is achieved only when machine-specific tradeoffs between load imbalance and communication are evaluated and utilized in choosing the data partition. The techniques in this book

Computer Modelling of Microporous Materials $231.18 Microporous materials, including both zeolites and aluminophosphates are amongst the most fascinating classes of materials, with wide ranging important applications in catalysis, gas separation and ion exchange. The breadth of the field has, moreover, been extended in the last ten years by the discovery of the versatile and exciting ranges of mesoporous materials.Computational methods have a long and successful history of application in solid state and materials science, where they are indeed established tools in modelling structural and dynamic properties of the bulk and surfaces of solids; and where they are playing an increasingly important role in understanding reactivity. Their application to zeolite science developed strongly in the 1980’s, with the initial successes in modelling structure and sorption, and with emerging capability in quantum mechanical methods. The field was reviewed over ten years, since then there have been major developments in techniques and of course the power of the available hardware, which have promoted a whole range of new applications to real complex problems in the science of microporous materials. This book aims to summarise and illustrate the current capabilities of atomistic computer modelling methods in this growing field. – Details advances in the rapidly expanding field of microporous materials.- Summarises key current techniques in this type of modelling.- Illustrates the current capabilities of atomistic computer modelling methods.

Constructive Models $379 The theory of constructive (recursive) models follows from works of Froehlich, Shepherdson, Mal’tsev, Kuznetsov, Rabin, and Vaught in the 50s. Within the framework of this theory, algorithmic properties of abstract models are investigated by constructing representations on the set of natural numbers and studying relations between algorithmic and structural properties of these models.This book is a very readable exposition of the modern theory of constructive models and describes methods and approaches developed by representatives of the Siberian school of algebra and logic and some other researchers (in particular, Nerode and his colleagues). The main themes are the existence of recursive models and applications to fields, algebras, and ordered sets (Ershov), the existence of decidable prime models (Goncharov, Harrington), the existence of decidable saturated models (Morley), the existence of decidable homogeneous models (Goncharov and Peretyat’kin), properties of the Ehrenfeucht theories (Millar, Ash, and Reed), the theory of algorithmic dimension and conditions of autostability (Goncharov, Ash, Shore, Khusainov, Ventsov, and others), and the theory of computable classes of models with various properties.Future perspectives of the theory of constructive models are also discussed. Most of the results in the book are presented in monograph form for the first time.The theory of constructive models serves as a basis for recursive mathematics. It is also useful in computer science, in particular, in the study of programming languages, higher level languages of specification, abstract data types, and problems of synthesis and verification of programs. Therefore, the book will be useful fornot only specialists in mathematical logic and the theory of algorithms but also for scientists interested in the mathematical fundamentals of computer science.The authors are eminent specialists in mathematical logic. They have established fundamental results on elementary theories, mo

Location, Scheduling, Design and Integer Programming $199.53 This monograph focuses on a class of problems that in effect have yet to be solved. Location, scheduling and design problems are assignment type problems with quadratic cost functions and occur in many contexts. Applications of these problems abound in diverse disciplines, such as anthropology, archeology, architecture, chemistry, computer science, economics, electronics, ergonomics, marketing, operations management, political science, statistical physics, zoology, etc. Padberg and Rijal have taken an important step in the solution of these problems. In this monograph they classify mathematical properties for ten classes of assignment problems: Quadratic Assignment Problems, Traveling Salesman Problems, Triangulation Problems, Linear Assignment Problems, VLSI Circuit Layout Design Problems, Multi-Processor Problems, Scheduling Problems with Interaction Costs, Operation-Scheduling Problems, Graph and Clique Partitioning Problems, and Boolean Quadratic Problems. They note that before these problems can be solved computationally, one must know and understand their mathematical properties. After discussing these properties, an integer programming approach is offered for solving them. The computational approach has shown considerable algorithmic success. The heart of this monograph is the theoretical work on assignment problems and the computation results that were produced using algorithms developed at NYU. The authors conclude that implementing a proper branch-and-cut algorithm on these types of problems will push the limits of exact computation far beyond the current ones.

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.

Microprocessor Architectures: From Vliw to Tta $270 Exploring new trends in computer technology, Corporal introduces an innovative and exciting concept: Transport Triggered Architecture (TTAs).

As a result the new architecture alleviates bottlenecks, allows for new code-generation optimizations and exploits hardware more efficiently. Founded on the author s recent research, this book evaluates the attributes of different classes of architectures. It demonstrates how TTAs can be used as a template for automatic generation of application-specific processors and highlights their suitability for embedded system design. Several commercial TTA implementations have proven its concepts and advantages. Features includes: Complexity analysis of the data path of Instruction Level Parallel processors, particularly of VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) and super-pipelined processors Derivation of the transport triggering concept illustrating processor simplification In-depth analysis of the architecture design space of TTAs and evaluation of architecture parameters Examination of the control and pipelining of instruction, function and register units Description of a trajectory for the automatic synthesis of TTAs for arbitrary applications written in a high-level language Detailed description of a prototype TTA processor enabling the reader to design an embedded computer system with excellent cost-performance ratio Microprocessor Architectures is cutting-edge text which will prove invaluable to both industrial hardware and software engineers involved in embedded systemdesign and to postgraduate electrical engineering and computer science students. This clearly-structured reference demonstrates the versatility of TTAs and explores their influential role in the next generation of computer architecture.

Problem Frames and Methods: Structuring and Analyzing Software Development Problems $246.36 Understanding and using problem frames will likely become an essential skill of all good software system designers. Jackson’s book provides a beautifully crafted pathway into this world. – David Garlan, Associate Professor, Computer Science Department, Carnegie Mellon University In Problem Frames I believe that Michael Jackson has taken the mysticism that surrounds design patterns and constructed a much more accessible technique utilizing a frame metaphor. – Warren Keuffel, ‘Senior Contributing Editor, Software Development Magazine’ It is tempting when approaching a software development problem to rush headlong into the trap of thinking too soon about the solution. Software development problems are about the world outside the computer – the real environment in which the system must have its effect – and demand consideration of the surrounding characteristics, relationships and context. Problem frames are a tool for classifying, analyzing and structuring such software development problems. Whereas object oriented patterns are primarily concerned with solutions, problem frames focus on the problem itself, enabling you to understand and address it clearly and directly. This book is a must-have for all IT professionals facing software development problems on a daily basis. If you are a systems analyst or requirements engineer it will provide an essential, practical guide from the task of identifying the problem to making the descriptions needed to resolve it. It will help you: – decompose complex problems into simpler sub-problems and see how the subproblems fit together – build up a repertoire of simple, clear and easily applicable problem classes whichyou can access and reuse, drawing on the experience associated with each class Features: – Numerous real-world example problems are analyzed, giving you insight into how to recognize and structure your own problems in practice – A mixture of large and small problems is presented
