This book differs from traditional numerical analysis texts in that it focuses on the motivation and ideas behind the algorithms presented rather than on detailed analyses of them. It presents a broad overview of methods and software for solving mathematical problems arising in computational modeling and data analysis, including proper problem ......
More and more senior citizens are exploring the exciting opportunities that computers present. Unfortunately, along with the joys come the headaches: baffling error messages, a computer or program that simply won't behave as it should, the ever-present fear of viruses and spyware, and perhaps worst of all, not knowing where to turn for help. Tech ......

This textbook covers the latest advances in machine-learning methods for asset management and asset pricing. Recent research in deep learning applied to finance shows that some of the techniques used by asset managers (usually kept confidential) result in better investments than the more standard techniques. Cutting-edge material is integrated ......
The Turing/von Neumann model of computing is dominant today but is by no means the only one. This textbook explores an important subset of alternatives, including those such as quantum and neuromorphic, which receive daily news attention. The models are organized into distinct groups. After a review of the Turing/von Neumann model to set the ......
This expansive volume describes the history of numerical methods proposed to solve linear algebra problems,, from antiquity to the present day. The authors focus on methods for solving linear systems of equations and eigenvalue problems and describe the interplay between numerical methods and the computing tools available at the time. The second ......
Algorithms in Action effectively introduces students to a variety of techniques for designing algorithms with a focus on developing intuitive understanding.
