<strong>Computer</strong> <strong>Science</strong><strong>Computer</strong>/Machine VisionNumerical Methods & AnalysisNEWHUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTIONMulti-Disciplinary Approachby Gerrit van der Veer2008 (July 2007) / Softcover / 750 pagesISBN-13: 978-0-07-709996-1 / MHID: 0-07-709996-6(<strong>McGraw</strong>-<strong>Hill</strong> UK Title)This book provides a systematic account of all that is needed fordesigning complex interactive systems. It provides a multidisciplinarycontent, from a user-centred and pragmatic point of view. The bookaims to provide the theory students need to understand the varioustechniques and provides illustrations, examples and exercises toprepare students for collaborating with design teams in industrialpractice.CONTENTSPart 1: Introduction: Chapter 1: Preface.

Chapra, Tufts University2008 (November 2006) / Hardcover / 544 pagesISBN-13: 978-0-07-313290-7 / MHID: 0-07-313290-XThe web site features student and instructor resources such as an imagebank, lecture slides, helpful web links, study objectives, and more!(Browse http://www.mhhe.com/chapra)Steven Chapra’s second edition, Applied Numerical Methodswith MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists, is written forengineers and scientists who want to learn numerical problemsolving. This text focuses on problem-solving (applications)rather than theory, using MATLAB, and is intended forNumerical Methods users; hence theory is included only toinform key concepts. The second edition feature new materialsuch as Numerical Differentiation and ODE's: Boundary-ValueProblems.For those who require a more theoretical approach, seeChapra's best-selling Numerical Methods for Engineers, 5/e(2006), also by <strong>McGraw</strong>-<strong>Hill</strong>.NEW TO THIS EDITION• Based on response from users and reviewers, 4 New Chaptershave been added to the second edition to provide a more accessiblepresentation, while maintaining its student-friendly flavor.~Optimization~Numerical Differentiation~ODES: Boundary-Value Problems~Fast Fourier Transform. This appendix chapter is presented in anintroductory fashion to illustrate the power of MATLAB and to letstudents go away recognizing that although they have just scratchedthe surface, they might want to pursue the topic in greater depth infuture courses.• 50% new or revised chapter and homework problemsFEATURES• Explanations are straight-forward and practically oriented. Themath level is considered, just to be at the right level--not too easy orrigorous, just right.• Extensive use of engineering examples, case studies, andapplications are given throughout the text.• Each chapter is well integrated with MATLAB M-files. In addition,relevant MATLAB functions are introduced in each chapter.• MATLAB is used as the primary computing environment. Allalgorithms are presented as m-files.• A text Web site is available at http://www.mhhe.com/chapraCONTENTSPart One Modeling, <strong>Computer</strong>s, and Error Analysis. 1.
