Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Karl Jug hat dieses Buch für Chemiestudenten nach dem Diplomvorexamen geschrieben. Es baut auf die Grundvorlesung 'Mathematik für Chemiker' auf. Das Interesse an mathematischen Methoden ist seit Erscheinen der ersten Auflage nicht nur in der Technischen und Theoretischen Chemie wesentlich stärker geworden. Der Autor hat deshalb die Darstellung durch anschauliche Beispiele und Übungsaufgaben erweitert und so das Selbststudium erleichtert. In der zweiten Auflage ist der Integralteil der Vektoranalyse vervollständigt, und Generatoren in der Gruppentheorie und numerische Lösungsmethoden bei Differentialgleichungen sind neu hinzugekommen. Ein umfangreicher Anhang mit Lösungen für die Übungen ergänzt die Darstellung.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 328 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Logic and object-orientation have come to be recognized as being among the most powerful paradigms for modeling information systems. The term 'information systems' is used here in a very general context to denote database systems, software development systems, knowledge base systems, proof support systems, distributed systems and reactive systems. One of the most vigorously researched topics common to all information systems is 'formal modeling'. An elegant high-level abstraction applicable to both application domain and system domain concepts will always lead to a system design from 'outside in'; that is, the aggregation of ideas is around real-life objects about which the system is to be designed. Formal methods yhen applied with this view in mind, especially during early stages of system development, can lead to a formal reasoning on the intended properties, thus revealing system flaws that might otherwise be discovered much later. Logic in different styles and semantics is being used to model databases and their transactions; it is also used to specify concurrent, distributed, real-time, and reactive systems. ,The notion of 'object' is central to the modeling of object oriented databases, as well as object-oriented design and programs in software engineering. Both database and software engineering communities have undoubtedly made important contributions to formalisms based on logic and objects. It is worthwhile bringing together the ideas developed by the two communities in isolation, and focusing on integrating their common strengths. 204 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In February 1992, I defended my doctoral thesis: Engineering Optimiza tion - selected contributions (IMSOR, The Technical University of Den mark, 1992, p. 92). This dissertation presents retrospectively my central contributions to the theoretical and applied aspects of optimization. When I had finished my thesis I became interested in editing a volume related to a new expanding area of applied optimization. I considered several approaches: simulated annealing, tabu search, genetic algorithms, neural networks, heuristics, expert systems, generalized multipliers, etc. Finally, I decided to edit a volume related to simulated annealing. My main three reasons for this choice were the following: (i) During the last four years my colleagues at IMSOR and I have car ried out several applied projects where simulated annealing was an essential. element in the problem-solving process. Most of the avail able reports and papers have been written in Danish. After a short review I was convinced that most of these works deserved to be pub lished for a wider audience. (ii) After the first reported applications of simulated annealing (1983- 1985), a tremendous amount of theoretical and applied work have been published within many different disciplines. Thus, I believe that simulated annealing is an approach that deserves to be in the curricula of, e.g. Engineering, Physics, Operations Research, Math ematical Programming, Economics, System Sciences, etc. (iii) A contact to an international network of well-known researchers showed that several individuals were willing to contribute to such a volume. 376 pp. Englisch.
