This book is divided into nine sections and begins by presenting a table of speeds of computers available in Britain, followed by information on manufacturers and vendors and their respective addresses. Computers available in Britain are then listed in alphabetical order, as well as peripheral equipment used either online or offline with the computers; memory storage capacity and storage type of the computers; computers installed and on order in Britain; and worldwide known computers installed as at the end of 1968. This monograph will be a useful resource for users, manufacturers, and vendors of computers and computer peripherals.

  • Designing End-User Interfaces

    State of the Art Report 15:8
    • 1st Edition
    • N Heaton + 1 more
    • 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.

  • Further Developments in Operational Research

    Frontiers of Operational Research and Applied Systems Analysis
    • 1st Edition
    • G. K. Rand + 1 more
    • English
    Further Developments in Operational Research is a collection of articles on fields such as behavioral science, corporate planning, and artificial intelligence. Subjects in forecasting, risk analysis, and network analysis are likewise reviewed. The book discusses statistical forecasting in detail. Graphs, networks, and uses of such networks are provided. A chapter of the book covers the creation and implementation of expert systems. Risk engineering is an integrated approach to all aspects of risk analysis. It identifies and quantifies uncertainty and advances methods in order to modify associated risks through effective and efficient decisions. A review of the models used in forecasting is then provided. This section includes concepts such as hypergraphs, network flows, and tools of graph theory. The historical background and developments in artificial intelligence are also featured in the book. Statistical forecasting is presented completely. The book can serve as a useful tool for programmers, forecasters, statisticians, psychologists, students, and researchers.

  • Identifiability of Parametric Models

    • 1st Edition
    • E. Walter
    • English
    Identifiability of Parametric Models provides a comprehensive presentation of identifiability. This book is divided into 11 chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the basic methods for structural identifiability testing. The methods that deal with large-scale models and propose conjectures on global identifiability are considered in Chapter 2, while the problems of initial model selection and generating the set of models that have the exact same input-output behavior are evaluated in Chapter 3. Chapters 4 and 5 cover nonlinear models. The relations between identifiability and the well-posedness of the estimation problem are analyzed in Chapter 6, followed by a description of the algebraic manipulations required for testing a model for structural controllability, observability, identifiability, or distinguishability in chapter 7. The rest of the chapters are devoted to the relations between identifiability and parameter uncertainty. This publication is beneficial to students and researchers aiming to acquire knowledge of the identifiability of parametric models.

  • Tables of Racah Coefficients

    Mathematical Tables Series
    • 1st Edition
    • A. F. Nikiforov + 2 more
    • English
    Tables of Racah Coefficients presents a compilation of tables of Racah coefficients. Racah coefficients appear and are widely used in a number of problems in quantum mechanics; in the theory of spectra of complex atoms and nuclei; in the theory of angular distributions of nuclear reactions; in the theory of angular correlations of decay particles; and many other problems where the sums of products of three or more Clebsch-Gordan coefficients occur. In compiling tables of Racah coefficients certain conditions can be imposed on the indices, which follow from the symmetry relations. Only those coefficients are given which satisfy these conditions. The present tables consist of three parts. The first part gives Racah coefficients in which the first four indices are half-integers, and the other two integers. The second gives Racah coefficients with integer indices. The third gives Racah coefficients in which the three indices, a, c, e are half-integers, and the other three are integers.

  • 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.

  • Symmetry

    Unifying Human Understanding
    • 1st Edition
    • István Hargittai
    • English
    International Series in Modern Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Volume 10: Symmetry: Unifying Human Understanding provides a tremendous scope of “symmetry”, covering subjects from fractals through court dances to crystallography and literature. This book discusses the limits of perfection, symmetry as an aesthetic factor, extension of the Neumann-Minnigerode-... principle, and symmetry of point imperfections in solids. The symmetry rules for chemical reactions, matching and symmetry of graphs, mosaic patterns of H. J. Woods, and bilateral symmetry in insects are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the crystallographic patterns, Milton's mathematical symbol of theodicy, symmetries of soap films, and gapon formalism. This volume is a good source for researchers and specialists concerned with symmetry.
