StarBriefs Plus
Author: Andre HeckPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0306486032
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1102
Book Description
With about 200,000 entries, StarBriefs Plus represents the most comprehensive and accurately validated collection of abbreviations, acronyms, contractions and symbols within astronomy, related space sciences and other related fields. As such, this invaluable reference source (and its companion volume, StarGuides Plus) should be on the reference shelf of every library, organization or individual with any interest in these areas. Besides astronomy and associated space sciences, related fields such as aeronautics, aeronomy, astronautics, atmospheric sciences, chemistry, communications, computer sciences, data processing, education, electronics, engineering, energetics, environment, geodesy, geophysics, information handling, management, mathematics, meteorology, optics, physics, remote sensing, and so on, are also covered when justified. Terms in common use and/or of general interest have also been included where appropriate.
Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports
Author: Computational Fluid Dynamics for Sport Simulation
Author: Martin PetersPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642044662
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
All over the world sport plays a prominent role in society: as a leisure activity for many, as an ingredient of culture, as a business and as a matter of national prestige in such major events as the World Cup in soccer or the Olympic Games. Hence, it is not surprising that science has entered the realm of sports, and, in particular, that computer simulation has become highly relevant in recent years. This is explored in this book by choosing five different sports as examples, demonstrating that computational science and engineering (CSE) can make essential contributions to research on sports topics on both the fundamental level and, eventually, by supporting athletes’ performance.
Fields Medallists' Lectures
Author: Michael Francis AtiyahPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9789810231170
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 652
Book Description
Although not as publicly well-known as the Nobel Prizes, the Fields Medal shares the same intellectual standing and is the equivalent award in the field of mathematics. This volume presents a selected list of 22 Fields Medallists and their contributions to give a highly interesting and varied bird's eye view of mathematics over the past 60 years. The contributions relate directly to the work for which the Medals were awarded or to the medallists' more current interests. In most cases, they are preceded by the introductory speech given by another leading mathematician during the prize ceremony, a photograph and up-to-date biographical notice.
Parallel Scientific Computing
Author: Jack DongarraPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540587125
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
This volume presents the proceedings of the First International workshop on Parallel Scientific Computing, PARA '94, held in Lyngby, Denmark in June 1994. It reports interdisciplinary work done by mathematicians, scientists and engineers working on large-scale computational problems in discussion with computer science specialists in the field of parallel methods and the efficient exploitation of modern high-performance computing resources. The 53 full refereed papers provide a wealth of new results: an up-to-date overview on high-speed computing facilities, including different parallel and vector computers as well as workstation clusters, is given and the most important numerical algorithms, with a certain emphasis on computational linear algebra, are investigated.
The User's Directory of Computer Networks

Languages : en
Pages : 647
Book Description
Your map through the network jungle. Here's how to track down virtually every network available to academics and researchers. This new book, with its detailed compilation of host- level information, provides everything you need to locate resources, send mail to colleagues and friends worldwide, and answer questions about how to access major national and international networks. Extensively cross- referenced information on ARPANET/MILNET, BITNET, CSNET, Esnet, NSFNET, SPAN, THEnet, USENET, and loads of others is all provided. Included are detailed lists of hosts, site contacts, administrative domains, and organizations. Plus, a tutorial chapter with handy reference tables reveals electronic mail 'secrets' that make it easier to take advantage of networking.
Lectures on Finite Precision Computations
Author: Francoise Chaitin-ChatelinPublisher: SIAM
ISBN: 9780898719673
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Finite precision computations are at the heart of the daily activities of many engineers and researchers in all branches of applied mathematics. Written in an informal style, the book combines techniques from engineering and mathematics to describe the rigorous and novel theory of computability in finite precision. In the challenging cases of nonlinear problems, theoretical analysis is supplemented by software tools to explore the stability on the computer.
