Authors Ward Cheney and David Kincaid show students of science and
engineering the potential computers have for solving numerical
problems and give them ample opportunities to hone their skills in
programming and problem solving. NUMERICAL MATHEMATICS AND
COMPUTING, 7th Edition also helps students learn about errors that
inevitably accompany scientific computations and arms them with
methods for detecting, predicting, and controlling these errors.
Adapting Building for Changing Uses discusses the comprehensive
refurbishment of buildings to enable them to be used for purposes
different to those originally intended. For those involved in the
often risky business of conversion of buildings from one type of
use to another, Adapting Building for Changing Uses provides secure
guidance on which uses may be best suited to a particular location.
This guidance is based on a unique decision tool, the "Use
Comparator", which was developed through research carried out at
UCL in the mid 1990's. The "Use Comparator" compares the physical
and locational characteristics of a building with the
characteristics best suited to various types of use. A total of 77
targeted types of use are evaluated, in contrast to the 17 uses
normally considers by regulatory planners. Adapting Building for
Changing Uses also identifies the key problems experienced by
building managers involved in assembling the coalition of
Producers, Investors, Marketeers, Regulators and Users, which makes
the key decisions in "Adaptive Reuse". The book explores the
differing perceptions and attitudes of these key decision agents to
matters such as cost, value, risk and robustness, and offers advice
on how to avoid the potential for project failure that these
differences present.
The Brand-Driven CEO demonstrates how senior leadership can use
their brand to align and guide the behaviors, decisions, and
operations of their entire organization in order to drive value.
David Kincaid delivers practical assessments and game plans for
senior executives and managers across functional areas, clarifying
the confusion between brand and marketing management. He introduces
the "New 4Ps" of brand management: People, Process, Intellectual
Property, and Partnerships. This paradigm shift equips business
leaders with a new approach to managing growth, profitability,
risk, and sustainable value. Using real-life, current case studies
from today's fastest growing and most valuable brands - including
Starbucks, Apple, and BMW - this book reveals the critical
importance of managing big businesses as integrated business
systems. The Brand-Driven CEO includes criteria to conduct your own
brand self-assessment and a stepby-step roadmap that can be applied
to help transform your brand and its management.

This book introduces students with diverse backgrounds to various
types of mathematical analysis that are commonly needed in
scientific computing. The subject of numerical analysis is treated
from a mathematical point of view, offering a complete analysis of
methods for scientific computing with appropriate motivations and
careful proofs. In an engaging and informal style, the authors
demonstrate that many computational procedures and intriguing
questions of computer science arise from theorems and proofs.
Algorithms are presented in pseudocode, so that students can
immediately write computer programs in standard languages or use
interactive mathematical software packages. This book occasionally
touches upon more advanced topics that are not usually contained in
standard textbooks at this level.
Contains fully worked-out solutions to all of the odd-numbered
exercises in the text, giving students a way to check their answers
and ensure that they took the correct steps to arrive at an answer.
