A practical, hands-on guide to creating some of the most stunning computer-generated images possible. It caters to the design masses; architects, engineers, interior designers, industrial designers, photographers, and enthusiasts will find this book essential in their quest to express themselves through visual communication.

In this fifth volume of the authoritative series, the simulation of forest fires, flames, and hydrodynamics is presented in the first three articles. The next two deal with quantum simulations, in particular for two dimensions (quantum Hall effect and monolayers). Biology is connected with the last two articles: we learn from biological evolution to complement computer hardware and software with evolware, or we simulate immunology.

While the existing literature on offshore structures touch on model testing, a comprehensive text discussing the design, construction, instrumentation, testing and analysis of the physical model is lacking. This book fills that vacuum and provides, through its survey of the theoretical and practical aspects of physical modeling, an in-depth coverage of the technology of model testing. Its usefulness runs through the entire field of engineering, reaching far beyond its focus on offshore construction; and its breadth of scope should appeal not only to engineers and naval architects but to scientists interested in structural or hydraulic testing as well.

Now a large growth area in computing, multimedia is becoming more accessible to those who need it most - artists, musicians, educators, publishers, advertisers, marketing people, and so on - and who feel that interactive sound and video is the way forward in their business. This book should benefit all those who are now building (authoring) or considering building multimedia applications.;This is above all a practical book about multimedia PCs and applications, featuring extensive and detailed examples of how multimedia applications are authored, and taking a tutorial approach.;A disk is available to support the book, containing multimedia applications to run instantly (authored by using ToolBook) and a Windows video recorder (VFW compatible) so the applications can run on any multimedia PC.;This book should be of interest to users or potential users of multimedia PCs and those considering upgrading an "ordinary" PC to a multimedia one.

This book, written in two volumes, is an introductory manual for Magma, a programming language designed for the investigation of algebraic, geometric and combinatorial structures, or "magmas." It presumes no knowledge of computer programming, and its examples are chosen to illustrate language and algorithmic features as simply as possible. Magma is a sophisticated tool for experimentation, education, and computer-aided proof, useful for both students and professional mathematicians. Volume I explains the language and user environment in detail, whereas Volume II deals with the major algebraic, geometrical and combinatorial structures implemented in the system.

Discover the excitement and action of computer programming immediately with this dynamic addition to any computer programming course - ALICE 3 IN ACTION: COMPUTING THROUGH ANIMATION, 2E. This brief six-chapter supplementary book uses Alice -- a popular 3D virtual reality computer programming system that reduces programming syntax and eliminates many of the common barriers to programming success. Alice and ALICE 3 IN ACTION: COMPUTING THROUGH ANIMATION, 2E make programming both simple and fun. Even if you are a beginning student with no prior programming experience, you will quickly see the possibilities and fulfilling results of computer programming today.
