Description
For one-/two- semester, freshman courses
in Discrete Mathematics.
This carefully organized, very readable text
covers every
essential topic in discrete mathematics in
a logical fashion.
Placing each topic in context, it covers
concepts associated with
discrete mathematical systems that have applications
in computer
science, engineering, and mathematics. The
author introduces more
basic concepts at the freshman level than
are found in other
texts, in a simple, accessible form. Introductory
material is
balanced with extensive coverage of graphs,
trees, recursion,
algebra, theory of computing, and combinatorics.
Extensive
examples throughout the text reinforce concepts.

Description
For undergraduate or graduate-level courses
in Computer Networks,
Internet Technology, Computer Communications
and Networks, and
Data Communications and Networks in the departments
of Computer
Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical
Engineering, or
Information Science and Engineering.
Building on the strength of his two other
successful texts,
Stallings' new text provides a fresh “Top
Down” and
comprehensive “Top Down” survey of the
entire field of
computer networks and Internet technology?including
an up-to-date
report of leading-edge technologies. It emphasizes
both the
fundamental principles as well as the critical
role of
performance in driving protocol and network
design. The basic
themes of principles, design approaches,
and standards throughout
the text unify the discussion.

About this book
This book provides a full-scale presentation
of all methods and
techniques available for the solution of
the Knapsack problem.
This most basic combinatorial optimization
problem appears
explicitly or as a subproblem in a wide range
of optimization
models with backgrounds such diverse as cutting
and packing,
finance, logistics or general integer programming.
This monograph
spans the range from a comprehensive introduction
of classical
algorithmic methods to the unified presentation
of the most
recent and advanced results in this area
many of them originating
from the authors. The chapters dealing with
particular versions
and extensions of the Knapsack problem are
self-contained to a
high degree and provide a valuable source
of reference for
researchers. Due to its simple structure,
the Knapsack problem is
an ideal model for introducing solution techniques
to students of
computer science, mathematics and economics.
The first three
chapters give an in-depth treatment of several
basic techniques,
making the book also suitable as underlying
literature for
courses in combinatorial optimization and
approximation.

About this textbook
This book is devoted to quantum computing,
a new,
multidisciplinary research area crossing
quantum mechanics,
theoretical computer science and mathematics.
It contains an
introduction to quantum computing as well
as the most important
recent results on the topic. Two famous algorithms,
fast
factorization and Grover search, are presented
in separate
chapters because these inventions are important
structurally and
developmentally. The presentation of the
topic is uniform and
computer science-oriented. Thus, the book
differs from most of
the previous ones which are mainly physics-oriented.
The special
style of presentation makes the theory of
quantum computing
accessible to a larger audience, including
also the mathematics-oriented
oriented readers. Many examples and exercises
ease the
understanding. In this edition new perspectives
on quantum
information have been added, and numerous
corrections, amendments
and extensions have been incorporated throughout
the text.

About this book
This volume is a substantially revised new
edition of the earlier
book of the same title. Six new chapters
(14-19) deal with topics
of current interest: multi-component convection
diffusion,
convection in a compressible fluid, convenction
with temperature
dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity,
penetrative
convection, nonlinear stability in ocean
circulation models, and
numerical solution of eigenvalue problems.
The book presents
convection studies in a variety of fluid
and porous media
contexts. It begins at an elementary level
and should be
accessible to a wide audience of applied
mathematicians,
physicists, and engineers.
Written for:
Researchers and graduate students in applied
mathematics,
physics, and engineering
