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 />

Application in Cyberspace<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 />
