Can Economic Growth Be Sustained

Yujiro Hayami and Vernon Ruttan worked well together; they did so because they had a profound respect for each other. That respect was the bridge to listening and thinking together in ways that allowed them to build an important theoretical perspective referred to as the “most widely accepted model used today both for understanding agricultural growth processes and as the basis for agricultur…

Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It?

The purpose of this book is to help you program shared-memory parallel machines without risking your sanity.1 We hope that this book’s design principles will help you avoid at least some parallel-programming pitfalls.

Perl and XML

XML is a text-based markup language that has taken the programming world by storm. More powerful than HTML yet less demanding than SGML, XML has proven itself to be flexible and resilient. XML is the perfect tool for formatting documents with even the smallest bit of complexity, from Web pages to legal contracts to books. However, XML has also proven itself to be indispensable for organizing an…

Calculus Light

The first question we may face is: “Another Calculus book?” We feel that the an- swer is quite simple. As long as students find mathematics and particularly calcu- lus a scary subject, as long as the failure rate in mathematics is higher than in all other subjects, except maybe among students who take it as a major in College and as long as a large majority of the people mistakenly believe …

Banking with Integrity

In medicine, an illness is diagnosed by reading signs and symptoms. One way for the doctor to gain a higher degree of confidence in the diagnosis is to check whether there is a family history of similar conditions. In addition, the doctor can examine people who live in similar conditions yet who are not ill (if available). Such people can help the doctor assess, through comparison to the patien…

Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis

This book is concerned with signal analysis in its broadest sense. Usually, signals are modeled as functions in suitable spaces such as L2, the space of square integrable functions, or Sobolev spaces. Signals might be given explicitly as, for example, in image analysis or implicitly, as solutions of operator equations. In either case, the problem of interest is to analyze and process these sign…

DVANCED ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS

This book springs from class notes, I developed for a course called Engineer- ing Analysis which I have taught every other fall semester since 1983 at the University of Akron. The course is targeted to students who are beginning graduate study in engineering. The students enrolled are first- and second-year graduate students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, although I have taught st…

Advances in Algebraic Quantum Field Theory

Relativistic quantum field theory was conceived in the late 1920s as a framework unifying the two fundamental theories that revolutionized physics in the twentieth century: Quantum Mechanics and the Special Theory of Relativity. Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT) is relativistic quantum field theory regarded from a certain perspective, emphasizing localization of observables in space and tim…

Advances in Biometrics for Secure Human Authentication and Recognition

The uniqueness of the physiological and behavioral characteristics of human beings is used to facilitate the identification or verification process, and it always results in correct classification. However, the distinctive evidence obtained from an individual does not guarantee a 100% matching be performed to the biometric characteristics corresponding another subject, even after considering al…

Practical RichFaces

We have been involved with JSF and RichFaces for many years now, including teaching JSF and RichFaces courses for many years. From our experience, we have come to realize that many developers are using RichFaces and JSF without understanding the full potential of the technology. Without this understanding, developers can't fully utilize the framework. Of course, after a bit of trial and error,…

Pro HTML5 Programming

This book is about HTML5 Programming. Before you can understand HTML5 programming, however, you need to take a step back and understand what HTML5 is, a bit of the history behind it, and the differences between HTML 4 and HTML5. In this chapter, we get right to the practical questions to which everyone wants answers. Why HTML5, and why all the excitement just now? What are the new design princi…

Programming Abstractions in C++

This course reader has had an interesting evolutionary history that in some ways mirrors the genesis of the C++ language itself. Just as Bjarne Stroustup’s first version of C++ was implemented on top of a C language base, this reader began its life as Eric Roberts’s textbook Programming Abstractions in C (Addison-Wesley, 1998). In 2002-03, Julie Zelenski updated it for use with the C++ pr…
