Editorial Review Product Description Until recently, all of the interactions between objects in virtual 3D worlds have been based on calculations performed using linear algebra. Linear algebra relies heavily on coordinates, however, which can make many geometric programming tasks very specific and complex-often a lot of effort is required to bring about even modest performance enhancements. Although linear algebra is an efficient way to specify low-level computations, it is not a suitable high-level language for geometric programming. Customer Reviews (4)

Editorial Review Product Description This text makes in-depth explorations of a broad range of theoretical topics in computer science. It plunges into the applications of the abstract concepts in order to confront and address the skepticism of readers, and instill in them an appreciation for the usefulness of theory. A two-part presentation integrates logic and formal language—both with applications. Chapter topics cover mathematical preliminaries, propositional logic, proving things: why and how, predicate logic, proving with predicates, program verification, logic programming, language models for computer science, language models, finite automata and their languages, regular expressions, Lex: a tool for building lexical scanners, context-free grammars, pushdown automata and parsing, and turing machines. For future computer scientists. Customer Reviews (6)

Robust statistics book with a funny title
Good For My Career I'vefound that I dive right into any chapter and get what I need. There arenumerous examples from image processing which show the effects of thevarious non-linear digital filters visually. Although the book is biasedto filtering problem in image processing, I've used the sections onM-estimators, L-estimators, R-estimators, median filters, and the variantsof order statistic filters in many problems not related to images. Oneparticularly good example, solved an echo problem with determining range toa mobile phone in a multipath environment. The reflections off buildings asthe phone traveled is a highly non-linear problem. My colleages workedfurously for weeks trying to optimize an IIR filter with many"special" cases. I proposed an order statistic filter that wasproven to solve the problem in one day. This book is my secret weapon. Isthis book better than newer ones on digital filters? In some chapters itis. However, I find this book as good as anyI've seen. If this is yourfirst purchase of a book on nonlinear digital filters, you can't go wrong. ... Read more |

textbook_critic The authors'focus on answering the most common questions asked by beginning students in C computer programming is great. They also spend quite a bit of effort showing the differences among subtle symbology. Note I think the people who invented C language did a huge injustice to all students of C by being very sloppy with their chosen set of symbols especially for "Pointers" -- which is often used in solving most intermediate and advanced programming problems. This book tries to get to the root of all the confusion and sloppiness of the orignal inventors and thus end up greatly helping beginning students. Once students overcome all the sloppy terms and symbols carelessly adopted by the original designers then they can begin to enjoy the C langauge and make it do some wonderful things.But the learning curve is typically long and tedious to slowly overcome all the nuances in the language. Sometimes I even feel that C language should be phased out completely and allow C++ to be the sole langauge for all beginning student computer programmers.But people are reluctant to change anything -- just like the '80's attempt trying to phase out English dimensional sytem with the Metric system. Again this text understands all the areas of sloppiness that lead often to confusion and then goes to work at clearly explaining them all. Normally it's a tough job to clear up others confusion but these 2 authors apparently were highly motivated and committed at trying to take a good stab at all inherent problems incommunication -- which, in my view, most technical people don't pay enough attention to. They seem to think that after they design some complex system it's someone elses problem to figure out what they designed. The original designers of C language certainly have caused a lot of unnecessary headaches for many beginning students trying to learn C; and this book focuses on being a Bridge to understanding this shadowy language which, in my view, again should be phased out altogether, or the designers should fix the confusing symbology and often unnecessary cryptic shorthand for almost everything in their C language.Note C was designed when computer memory was [more money] and limited, and the designers got very creative at working under this environment. But did they think about future students trying to learn this often confusing and thus, difficult langauge? The only suggestion for the book is that the publisher should have used larger font for titles and subtitles and theoretically should have aimed for new page for each subsection.I could never undestand publisher's use of the bottom of a page for major subsection.

Good but not great
Good, but over my head
Absolutely lovable and entirely unique
Computer Science and Perl Programming Computer Science and Perl Programming is a collection of 70 articles from The Perl Journal. It is the first volume of a set of three and, in my opinion, the best volume. Jon Orwant, the original editor of The Perl Journal, has done a great job in putting together this volume. This volume is divided into tips for beginners, regular expressions, data structures, networking, databases, software development processes, object-oriented programming, and advanced Perl programming techniques. I particularly enjoyed the regular expressions, and networking sections. The data structures section was also very useful, as data structures in Perl can tend to be a bit odd. This volume has a good bit of programming knowledge crammed into it, and seems to be a bit more serious than the other two volumes. All in all, a great read and a great reference to keep around. I would definitely advise anyone interested in Perl to pick up this set, you won't regret it.
Great collection CS & PP is divided into seven sections as follows: Beginner Concepts, Regular Expressions, Computer Science, Programming Techniques, Software Development, Networking and Databases. The articles are straight reprints from TPJ and are written by a number of leading perl people such as Larry Wall, Damian Conway, Mark Jason Dominus, etc. Jon Orwant, the publisher of TPJ is the editor for this book. I haven't finished this book yet but I've greatly enjoyed the articles I've read. A vast array of topics are covered, such as B-Trees, random number generators, benchmarking, makemaker, DBI and even Win32::ODBC and Microsoft Office. There's something for every perl programmer in this book. Highly recommended. ... Read more |

Where's computer Science perspective
Great explanation of DSP for the computer scientist
NEWINSIGHT
An outstanding accomplishment in DSP Computer scientists will appreciate the six chapters (12-17) devoted to Architectures and Algorithms.This emphasis is what sets this book apart from the many other DSP books out on the market.I especially enjoyed Chapter 17, Digital Signal Processors. After reading Sections 1-3, I finally understood the significance of the MAC (Multiply-and-Accumulate) operation, and exactly how a DSP processor allows it to be executed in one clock cycle.Section 7 guides the new DSP programmer with Stein's well-conceived CHILD's play system of DSP task development.And on the humorous side, in Section 8 describing DSP Development Teams, we are told, "Your boss has given you five days to come up to speed (in understanding the new system).In your cubicle you find a stack of heavy documents.The first thing you have to learn is what a TLA is."You will find yourself breaking out with stifled bursts of nervous laughter as this all-too-true scenario unfolds. Definitely give this book a try and you'll come to understand and appreciate DSP in a new light from Stein's unique perspective.It will make a welcome and refreshing addition to your DSP library. ...
