    • English
    Designing End-User Interfaces: State of the Art Report focuses on the field of human/computer interaction (HCI) that reviews the design of end-user interfaces. This compilation is divided into two parts. Part I examines specific aspects of the problem in HCI that range from basic definitions of the problem, evaluation of how to look at the problem domain, and fundamental work aimed at introducing human factors into all aspects of the design cycle. Part II consists of six main topics—definition of the problem, psychological and social factors, principles of interface design, computer intelligence and interface design, systems aspects of the human/computer interface, and conclusion. This book is recommended for computer designers aiming to understand the user, improve the software and its associated interface, and design hardware that is suitable for use.
  • Tables of the Velocity of Sound in Sea Water

    Mathematical Tables Series
    • 1st Edition
    • L. S. Bark + 2 more
    • English
    Tables of the Velocity of Sound in Sea Water contains tables of the velocity of sound in sea water computed on a "Strela-3" high-speed electronic computer and a T-5 tabulator at the Computational Center of the Academy of Sciences. Knowledge of the precise velocity of sound in sea water is of great importance when investigating sound propagations in the ocean and when solving practical problems involving the use of hydro-acoustic devices. This book demonstrates the computations made for the velocity of sound in sea water, which can be found in two ways: by direct measurement with the aid of suitable equipment, and by calculation from formula expressing the dependence of the velocity on the temperature and salinity of the water. This book will be of great value to researchers and students.
  • Elliptic Functions

    A Primer
    • 1st Edition
    • Eric Harold Neville
    • English
    Elliptic Functions: A Primer defines and describes what is an elliptic function, attempts to have a more elementary approach to them, and drastically reduce the complications of its classic formulae; from which the book proceeds to a more detailed study of the subject while being reasonably complete in itself. The book squarely faces the situation and acknowledges the history of the subject through the use of twelve allied functions instead of the three Jacobian functions and includes its applications for double periodicity, lattices, multiples and sub-multiple periods, as well as many others in trigonometry. Aimed especially towards but not limited to young mathematicians and undergraduates alike, the text intends to have its readers acquainted on elliptic functions, pass on to a study in Jacobian elliptic functions, and bring a theory of the complex plane back to popularity.
  • Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations

    Modern Applied Mathematics and Computer Science
    • 1st Edition
    • Matthew Witten
    • English
    Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations III is a refereed journal issue that explores the applications, theory, and/or applied methods related to hyperbolic partial differential equations, or problems arising out of hyperbolic partial differential equations, in any area of research. This journal issue is interested in all types of articles in terms of review, mini-monograph, standard study, or short communication. Some studies presented in this journal include discretization of ideal fluid dynamics in the Eulerian representation; a Riemann problem in gas dynamics with bifurcation; periodic McKendrick equations for age-structured population growth; and logistic models of structured population growth. A number of book reviews are also included. This journal provides an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of results not included in other particular journals, and thus will be beneficial to those interested in this field of study.

  • Developments in Operational Research

    Frontiers of Operational Research and Applied Systems Analysis
    • 1st Edition
    • R. W. Eglese + 1 more
    • English
    Developments in Operational Research reviews developments in operational research (OR) and includes numerical examples to illustrate techniques and applications. Topics covered include some of the most widely used OR ""techniques"", such as mathematical programming and simulation, together with the contribution of OR methodology to specific application areas, such as capital investment appraisal and purchasing. This book is comprised of seven chapters and begins with an introduction to the state of mathematical programming systems, along with the relevance of other optimization algorithms to OR and techniques for handling certain types of nonlinearity. The discussion then turns to network optimization techniques and their applications for the New Zealand Justice Department as well as for the wheat and dairy industries. The following chapters focus on computer simulation as applied in OR, with emphasis on various approaches to discrete event modeling; application of OR to industrial maintenance and replacement; financial appraisal methods, including discounting methods; and the use of Bayesian decision analysis to decision making. This text concludes by looking at the purchasing function and the limitations of classical stock control theory in practice. Models and procedures are developed to cope with real situations. Materials requirements planning, quantity discounts, price inflation, commodity purchasing decisions, and blending problems are considered. This monograph will be of interest to planners, decision makers, and others involved in operations research.
  • Successful Business Computing

    • 1st Edition
    • M. Tampoe
    • English
    Successful Business Computing offers a practical guide to the selection and use of a computer system. It helps identify those factors that need to be assessed in buying computer equipment and the associated computing instructions, called computer programs or software. It is a management manual and not a technical treatise on computing theory, or advanced computing. The book is organized into three main parts. Part 1 helps the reader to recognize the symptoms and assess needs. It identifies some of the reasons which prompt the purchase of computer systems and the areas of the organization which can benefit. It explains a method of pinpointing the specific application areas. It emphasizes the need for a computing policy within the organization; specifies some significant policy issues; and identifies sources of external help. Part 2 guides the reader through the buying cycle, identifying the major activities and providing guidelines for the evaluation of the systems proposed. Part 3 explains the constituents of a computer system and provides a glossary of terms. This book is intended for the businessman or executive looking for guidelines on how best to handle the task of acquiring a computer system. It can also provide students with an introduction to the application of computers and computer systems in business and commerce.
