| CRC Standard Curves and Surfaces is a comprehensive illustrated catalog of curves and surfaces of geometric figures and algebraic, transcendental, and integral equations used in elementary and advanced mathematics. More than 800 graphics images are featured. Based on the successful CRC Handbook of Mathematical Curves and Surfaces, this new volume retains the easy to use "catalog" format of the original book. Illustrations are presented in a common format organized by type of equation. Associated equations are printed in their simplest form along with any notes required to understand the illustrations. Equations and graphics appear in a side-by-side format, with figures printed on righthand pages and text on lefthand pages. Most curves and surfaces are plotted with several parameter selections so that the variation of the mathematical functions are easily understandable. Coverage on algebraic surfaces and transcendental surfaces has been expanded by 30% over the original edition; material on functions in mathematical physics has expanded by 50%. New material on functions of random processes and functions of complex variable surfaces has been added. A complementary software program (see the next title listed in this catalog) enables you to plot all of the functions found in this book. |

 The Bank Analyst's Handbook: Money, Risk and Conjuring TricksFinancial institutions have few friends. However, despite their poor image, they provide a range of services without which it is difficult to envisage how a modern economy could operate. It is also true that banks attract some of the brightest and most highly qualified people of any industry. Money is one factor, banks pay well for top talent, but... | | Learning DCOM
DCOM -- the Distributed Component Object Model -- is a recent upgrade of a time-honored and well-tested technology promoted by Microsoft for distributed object programming. Now that components are playing a larger and larger part in Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000, every Windows programmer will want to understand the... | | Geometric Computing Science: First Steps (Interdisciplinary Mathematics, Vol 25)This book outlines a mathematical way of thinking about the interaction of 'pure' and 'applied' computer science. I will be more subjective than is customary in science and mathematics exposition and sketch my personal vision, in terms of my own experience in pure and applied mathematics and my extensive readings in the scholarly computer science... |
