The Art of Scientific Computing

William H. Press, Saul A. Teukolsky, William T. Vetterling, Brian P. Flannery

Widely recognized as the most comprehensive, accessible and practical basis for scientific computing, this new edition incorporates more than 400 Numerical Recipes routines, many of them new or upgraded. The executable C++ code, now printed in color for easy reading, adopts an object-oriented style particularly suited to scientific applications. The whole book is presented in the informal, easy-to-read style that made earlier editions so popular. New key features include 2 new chapters, 25 new sections, 25% longer than second edition, thorough upgrades throughout the text, more than 100 completely new routines and upgrades of many more!

Modelling, Specification and Verification

Luca Aceto, Anna Ingólfsdóttir, Kim Guldstrand Larsen, Jiri Srba

This book offers a more balanced introduction for graduate students that describes various approaches; their strengths and weaknesses, and when they are best used. Milner’s CCS and its operational semantics are introduced, together with notions of behavioral equivalence based on bisimulation techniques and with variants of Hennessy-Milner modal logics.

Michael Fielding Barnsley

SuperFractals is the long awaited successor to Fractals Everywhere, in which the power and beauty of Iterated Function Systems were introduced and applied to producing startling and original images that reflect complex structures found for example in nature. Now, 20 years later, Barnsley brings the story up to date by explaining how IFS have developed in order to address this issue.
