Mathematics of Computing -- Parallelism.
This volume reviews, in the context of partial differential equations, algorithm development that has been specifically aimed at computers that exhibit some form of parallelism. Emphasis is on the solution of PDEs because these are typically the problems that generate high computational demands. The authors discuss architectural features of these computers insomuch as they influence algorithm performance, and provide insight into algorithm characteristics that allow effective use of hardware.
This multidisciplinary book delivers a unique collection of well-considered, empirically rich and critical contributions on maritime transport geographies. It covers a wide range of markets and territories as well as institutional, environmental and future issues.
The IMA Hot Topics workshop on compatible spatialdiscretizations was held in 2004. This volume contains original contributions based on the material presented there. A unique feature is the inclusion of work that is representative of the recent developments in compatible discretizations across a wide spectrum of disciplines in computational science. Abstracts and presentation slides from the workshop can be accessed on the internet.
Environmental Strategic Communication: Advocacy, Persuasion, and Public Relations equips readers with the concepts, contexts, and practical tools to become effective environmental communicators across nonprofit, corporate, and government sectors. Derek Moscato reveals that key to winning hearts and minds in the environmental arena is the development and deployment of carefully crafted messages and a recognition of the diverse range of stakeholders. Drawing on the history of the environmental movement, as well as case studies and organizational profiles, this textbook helps students make the most of media relations, stakeholder engagement, persuasion, and visual media techniques to further environmental advocacy goals. Discussions cover green op-ed and feature writing, publicity tactics including news releases, the art of interviewing for television and video, and social media acumen. Within the chapters, students will find: Case studies and organizational profiles Discussion Questions Lists of Keywords and Key Events, Locations, and Organizations Instructors may access a test bank for the book by visiting www.rowman.com/ISBN/9781538152287.

Eric T. Bell 0. Heaviside Mathematics is a tool for thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and non linearities abound. Similarly, all kinds of parts of mathematics serve as tools for other parts and for other sciences. Applying a simple rewriting rule to the quote on the right above one finds such statements as: 'One service topology has rendered mathematical physics .. .'; 'One service logic has rendered com puter science .. .'; 'One service category theory has rendered mathematics .. .'. All arguably true. And all statements obtainable this way form part of the raison d'elre of this series.
This monograph is devoted to a new method of parallel computing which uses VLSI technology in an effcient manner. By this method, data are fed to the cells of a systolic processor and results are obtained instantly. Some theoretical and algorithmic questions which arise in the design of hardware and software for systolic processing are considered. Special attention is devoted to the complexity of VLSI, complexity of algorithms, parallel algorithms, relations between graphs of algorithms and graphs of processors, parallel programming languages, and the use of systolic algorithms for vector programming. The book is unique for its inclusion of a library of systolic algorithms for solving problems from twelve branches of computer science, and will be useful for designers of hardware and software for parallel processing.
Revised and updated, the third edition of Golub and Van Loan's classic text in computer science provides essential information about the mathematical background and algorithmic skills required for the production of numerical software. This new edition includes thoroughly revised chapters on matrix multiplication problems and parallel matrix computations, expanded treatment of CS decomposition, an updated overview of floating point arithmetic, a more accurate rendition of the modified Gram-Schmidt process, and new material devoted to GMRES, QMR, and other methods designed to handle the sparse unsymmetric linear system problem.
