This is a short, focused introduction to MATLAB, a<br />
comprehensive software system for mathematical<br />
and technical computing. It contains concise<br />
explanations of essential MATLAB commands, as<br />
well as easily understood instructions for using<br />
MATLAB’s programming features, graphical<br />
capabilities, simulation models, and rich desktop<br />
interface. Written for MATLAB 7, it can also be<br />
used with earlier (and later) versions of MATLAB.<br />
This book teaches how to graph functions, solve<br />
equations, manipulate images, and much more. It<br />
contains explicit instructions for using MATLAB’s<br />
companion software, Simulink, which allows<br />
graphical models to be built for dynamical<br />
systems. MATLAB’s new “publish” feature is<br />
discussed, which allows mathematical<br />
computations to be combined with text and<br />
graphics, to produce polished, integrated,<br />
interactive documents.<br />

Computers and the Law provides readers with an<br />
introduction to the legal issues associated with<br />
computing – particularly in the massively<br />
networked context of the Internet. Assuming no<br />
previous knowledge of the law or any special<br />
knowledge of programming or computer science,<br />
this textbook offers undergraduates of all<br />
disciplines and professionals in the computing<br />
industry an understanding of basic legal principles<br />
and an awareness of the peculiarities associated<br />
with legal issues in cyberspace. This is not a law<br />
school casebook; instead, a variety of relevant<br />
cases are presented in redacted form with the full<br />
cases available at an ancillary website.<br />
The pervasiveness of computing in modern<br />
society has generated numerous legal<br />
ambiguities. This book introduces readers to the<br />
fundamental workings of the law in the non-virtual<br />
world while suggesting the opportunity to create<br />
new types of laws with nontraditional goals.<br />
Contents: 1. The common law and statutory law;<br />
2. Contracts; 3. Torts introduction; 4. Defamation;<br />
5. Third-party liability; 6. Copyrights; 7. Trade<br />
secrets; 8. Trademarks; 9. The right of privacy;<br />
10. E-mail; 11. The right of publicity;<br />
12. Constitutional law; 13. Pornography and<br />
obscenity; 14. Advertising and spam;<br />
15. Jurisdiction.<br />

This comprehensive treatment of network<br />
information theory and its applications provides<br />
the first unified coverage of both classical and<br />
recent results. With an approach that balances the<br />
introduction of new models and new coding<br />
techniques, readers are guided through Shannon’s<br />
point-to-point information theory, single-hop<br />
networks, multi-hop networks, and extensions to<br />
distributed computing, secrecy, wireless<br />
communication and networking. Elementary<br />
mathematical tools and techniques are used<br />
throughout, requiring only basic knowledge of<br />
probability, whilst unified proofs of coding<br />
theorems are based on a few simple lemmas,<br />
making the text accessible to newcomers. Key<br />
topics covered include successive cancellation<br />
and superposition coding, MIMO wireless<br />
communication, network coding and cooperative<br />
relaying. Also covered are feedback and<br />
interactive communication, capacity<br />
approximations and scaling laws, and<br />
asynchronous and random access channels.<br />
Featuring a wealth of illustrations, worked<br />
examples, bibliographic notes and over 250<br />
problems, this book is ideal for use in the<br />
classroom and for self-study.<br />
