Title: Concepts and Applications of Finite Element Analysis, 4th Edition
Authors: Robert D. Cook
David S. Malkus
Michael E. Plesha
Robert J. Witt
Description
This book has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect developments since the third edition, with an emphasis on structural mechanics. Coverage is up-to-date without making the treatment highly specialized and mathematically difficult. Basic theory is clearly explained to the reader, while advanced techniques are left to thousands of references available, which are cited in the text.

Title: Fast Algorithms for Signal Processing

Description

Efficient signal processing algorithms are important for embedded and power-limited applications since, by reducing the number of computations, power consumption can be reduced significantly. Similarly, efficient algorithms are also critical to very large scale applications such as video processing and four-dimensional medical imaging. This self-contained guide, the only one of its kind, enables engineers to find the optimum fast algorithm for a specific application. It presents a broad range of computationally-efficient algorithms, describes their structure and implementation, and compares their relative strengths for given problems. All the necessary background mathematics is included and theorems are rigorously proved, so all the information needed to learn and apply the techniques is more…

Title: Chases and Escapes: The Mathematics of Pursuit and Evasion

Description

We all played tag when we were kids. The rules couldn’t be easier–one player is designated “it” and must try to tag out one of the others. What most of us don’t realize is that this simple chase game is in fact an application of pursuit theory, and that the same principles of games like tag, dodgeball, and hide-and-seek are at play in military strategy, high-seas chases by the Coast Guard, even romantic pursuits. In Chases and Escapes, Paul Nahin gives us the first complete history of this fascinating area of mathematics. more…

Title: Numerical Techniques for Direct and Large-Eddy Simulations (Chapman and Hall/CRC Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computation Series)

Description

Compared to the traditional modeling of computational fluid dynamics, direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large-eddy simulation (LES) provide a very detailed solution of the flow field by offering enhanced capability in predicting the unsteady features of the flow field. In many cases, DNS can obtain results that are impossible using any other means while LES can be employed as an advanced tool for practical applications. Focusing on the numerical needs arising from the applications of DNS and LES, Numerical Techniques for Direct and Large-Eddy Simulations covers basic techniques for DNS and LES that can be applied to practical problems of flow, turbulence, and combustion. more…

Title: The Garden of the Sphinx: 150 Challenging and Instructive Puzzles

Authors: Pierre Berloquin

Description

The Author’s Note:

These mathematical puzzles have appeared in the newspaper
Le Monde during the past few years. A number of readers have
responded to the challenge by offering not only original solu-
tions and modes of attack but also by stating new problems
related to those proposed. A dialogue was thus initiated in
which my problems or those I reproduced from the literature
generated a new set by stimulating the minds of my corre-
spondents. This book presents a collection resulting from the
fruitful exchange. more…

Title: Solved Problems in Classical Mechanics: Analytical and Numerical Solutions with Comments

Description

Apart from an introductory chapter giving a brief summary of Newtonian and Lagrangian mechanics, this book consists entirely of questions and solutions on topics in classical mechanics that will be encountered in undergraduate and graduate courses. These include one-, two-, and three- dimensional motion; linear and nonlinear oscillations; energy, potentials, momentum, and angular momentum; spherically symmetric potentials; multi-particle systems; rigid bodies; translation and rotation of the reference frame; the relativity principle and some of its consequences. The solutions are followed by a set of comments intended to stimulate inductive reasoning and provide additional more…
