A practical guide to problem solving using MATLAB. Designed to complement a taught course introducing MATLAB but ideally suited for any beginner. This book provides a brief tour of some of the tasks that MATLAB is perfectly suited to instead of focusing on any particular topic. Providing instruction, guidance and a large supply of exercises, this book is meant to stimulate problem-solving skills rather than provide an in-depth knowledge of the MATLAB language.
Capitalises on the wealth of mathematical knowledge students already possess because of their familiarity with the scorekeeping and motion in sports. In this way, the book takes advanced concepts such as exponents, vector multiplication, and the unit circle to relate them to students everyday lives. While the book is meant to appeal to students who might not otherwise choose to study algebra, it employs highly challenging material, much of which is not taught until engineering school. Thus the book also provides a window to the professional world. Applications in accounting, aeronautical engineering, civil engineering and other fields are presented along with the sports examples.
This book is concerned with the relations between graphs, error-correcting codes and designs, in particular how techniques of graph theory and coding theory can give information about designs. A major revision and expansion of a previous volume in this series, this account includes many examples and new results as well as improved treatments of older material. So that non-specialists will find the treatment accessible the authors have included short introductions to the three main topics. This book will be welcomed by graduate students and research mathematicians and be valuable for advanced courses in finite combinatorics.
Combinatorics is a subject of increasing importance because of its links with computer science, statistics, and algebra. This textbook stresses common techniques (such as generating functions and recursive construction) that underlie the great variety of subject matter, and the fact that a constructive or algorithmic proof is more valuable than an existence proof. The author emphasizes techniques as well as topics and includes many algorithms described in simple terms. The text should provide essential background for students in all parts of discrete mathematics.
Combinatorics is a subject of increasing importance, owing to its links with computer science, statistics and algebra. This is a textbook aimed at second-year undergraduates to beginning graduates. It stresses common techniques (such as generating functions and recursive construction) which underlie the great variety of subject matter and also stresses the fact that a constructive or algorithmic proof is more valuable than an existence proof. The book is divided into two parts, the second at a higher level and with a wider range than the first. Historical notes are included which give a wider perspective on the subject. More advanced topics are given as projects and there are a number of exercises, some with solutions given.

The N*O*VO Nostalgia Movie Quiz and Information Book by David Cameron Dunn, Ph.D. The N*O*VO Nostalgia Movie Quiz and Information Book was written as a labor of love by a cinephile. Its intended audience is the kindred spirits out there who not only relish the “good, old films and players,” but who also enjoy being asked questions about them. The book goes a step further by quantifying the difficulty of the questions, providing the readers with the opportunity to record their “scores” and “batting averages.” Not only may the individual assess his or her personal expertise in the realm of motion picture lore, but also in the competitive way with family and friends as a game. In addition to the quiz section, which comprises the pronounced majority of the book, the readers will also find several interesting informational appendices. In view of the above, the reader will find this work to be set apart from the many other similar entries on the shelves!

From personal music players to anti-lock brakes and advanced digital flight controllers, the demand for real-time digital signal processing (DSP) continues to grow. Mastering real-time DSP is one of the most challenging and time-consuming pursuits in the field, exacerbated by the lack of a resource that solidly bridges the gap between theory and practice. Recognizing that there is a better way forward, accomplished experts Welch, Wright, and Morrow offer Real-Time Digital Signal Processing from MATLAB to C with the TMS320C6x DSK. This book collects all of the necessary tools in a single, field-tested source of unrivaled authority. The authors seamlessly integrate theory with easy-to-use, inexpensive hardware and software tools in an approachable and hands-on manner. Using abundant examples and exercises in a step-by-step approach, they work from familiar interfaces such as MATLAB® to running algorithms in real-time on industry-standard DSP hardware. For each concept, the book uses a four-step methodology: a brief review of relevant theory; demonstration of the concept in winDSK6, an easy-to-use software tool; explanation and demonstration of MATLAB techniques for implementation; and explanation of the necessary C code to implement the algorithms in real time. Covering a broad spectrum of topics in a hands-on, concise, and approachable way, Real-Time Digital Signal Processing from MATLAB to C with the TMS320C6x DSK paves the way toward mastery of real-time DSP. Essential source code is available for download.
