The US House of Representatives has just inaugurated the National Computer Science Education Week. With 405 votes for and none against the resolution, computer science must be hitting the mainstream....
One could be forgiven for imagining that this may be yet another title joining the throngs of indistinguishable (but always yellow) introductory programming books, but now there is a new kid on the...
Rightly, this has become the text for teaching algorithms. If you want to program serious algorithms, from sorting and searching to string matching, this book is your resource, with nearly 1,000...
It's all very well using computers to do complicated things, but do we understand what they have done? Suppose you have the data about the people who survived the sinking of the Titanic on your...
The authors explain that the inspiration for writing this was their belief that computer science courses gave an insufficient picture of the discipline. To remedy this, they have gathered an immense...
The security of networked computer systems is too often regarded as one of the black arts - a marginal landscape that may attract unwelcome interest from those wishing to subvert rather than secure....
I kept trying to avoid reading this book, on the assumption that I'd understand little and remember less. Happily, I found that I could fight my way through much more of the maths than I'd expected,...
This substantial text provides a solid introduction to the pragmatics of computer networking. It is practical, very hands-on and with enough of the background theory to make sure that network...
In recent years, the extent of video surveillance has risen substantially. This expansion in the ability of both state and private organisations to monitor and record the activities of the public has...
The successful development of engineering applications relies fundamentally on the availability of materials. The selection of a suitable material for a particular application or device is often a...
Materials science is probably the most versatile scientific discipline, encompassing physics, chemistry and most engineering disciplines (eg, mechanical, electrical, aeronautical, civil, etc)....
The field of materials science is unique as it encompasses areas of physics, chemistry, maths and several engineering disciplines. Although this book deals with certain special properties of...
Materials are a vital part of everyday life, utilised extensively in the civil, mechanical, electrical, aeronautical and aviation industries and many more. It is thus important for scientists,...
Solid state theory is an important and imperative part of any syllabus in the fields of physics, chemistry, materials science and electrical engineering; for those pursuing an undergraduate degree in...
Thermodynamics is a vitally important area in most physical sciences and engineering disciplines; thus it is imperative for individuals pursuing a degree in those fields to grasp the fundamentals of...
