Interpreting LISP - Programming and Data Structures (Paperback, 2nd ed.): Gary D. Knott Interpreting LISP - Programming and Data Structures (Paperback, 2nd ed.)
Gary D. Knott
R1,534 Discovery Miles 15 340 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Learn Lisp programming in a data structures context, including tables, functions, forms, expressions, typed-pointers, I/O, garbage collection and some applications. This short primer contains a careful description of the data structures manipulated by Lisp functions. These data structures and others, notably hash tables, are also used in constructing a Lisp interpreter. Interpreting Lisp will be of special interest to those learning and using programming languages and computer architecture as well as data structures. This book will be useful to autodidacts, professional programmers, and computer enthusiasts in a wide variety of fields. What You'll Learn Use the atom table and the number table in Lisp Master expressions, typed pointers, arguments and results in typed pointers, and more Write lambda expressions in Lisp Bind actual values to formal arguments Develop games in Lisp Who This Book Is For Experienced programmers new to Lisp.

Interpolating Cubic Splines (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2000): Gary D. Knott Interpolating Cubic Splines (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2000)

A spline is a thin flexible strip composed of a material such as bamboo or steel that can be bent to pass through or near given points in the plane, or in 3-space in a smooth manner. Mechanical engineers and drafting specialists find such (physical) splines useful in designing and in drawing plans for a wide variety of objects, such as for hulls of boats or for the bodies of automobiles where smooth curves need to be specified. These days, physi cal splines are largely replaced by computer software that can compute the desired curves (with appropriate encouragment). The same mathematical ideas used for computing "spline" curves can be extended to allow us to compute "spline" surfaces. The application ofthese mathematical ideas is rather widespread. Spline functions are central to computer graphics disciplines. Spline curves and surfaces are used in computer graphics renderings for both real and imagi nary objects. Computer-aided-design (CAD) systems depend on algorithms for computing spline functions, and splines are used in numerical analysis and statistics. Thus the construction of movies and computer games trav els side-by-side with the art of automobile design, sail construction, and architecture; and statisticians and applied mathematicians use splines as everyday computational tools, often divorced from graphic images."
