Put number theory to work in real-life code - Number Theory A Programmer's Guide. It's here... the first book to survey a full range of problems in number theory and apply it to the real world for real programmers. With many examples and solutions written in highly portable C, this down-to-earth guide shows you one step at a time how to apply number theory to computing tasks such as: Finding Prime Numbers and Factorizatrion. Solving Diophantine Equations. Trial-and-Error Solution Strategies. Algorithm Design. Multiple Precision Arithmetic. If you've grown weary of number theory programming books that purport to be for programmers, and refer to computers as 'computing machines," then you're ready for Mark Herkommer's Number Theory. In this one essential resource, you'll get a modern, nuts-and-bolts take on number theory that caters to practically all your on-the-job programming needs-in language you can understand and put to work right away. In addition, you get enjoyable number curios that challenged and amused ancient mathematicians, easily crunchable with today's computers-plus some thought-provoking, still-unsolved problems. Whatever industry you're in, whatever the application, Number Theory covers only the theory you need to give you the fast, accurate solutions you want.

Issues of matching and searching on elementary discrete structures arise prevasively in computer science and many of its applications, and their relevance is expected to grow as information is amassed and shared at an accelerating pace. Several algorithms were discovered as a result of these needs, which in turn created the subfield of Pattern Matching. This book provides an overview of the current state of Pattern Matching as seen by specialists who have devoted years of study to the field. It covers most of the basic principles and presents material advanced enough to faithfully portray the current frontier of research. Because of these recent advances, this is the right time for a book that brings together information relevant to both graduate students and specialists in need of an in-depth reference.

Artificial Intelligence is a somewhat dated introduction to the subject. If you are looking for an introduction to core topics in artificial intelligence (AI), such as logic, knowledge representation, and search, this book has something to offer. However, if you want to learn about some of the newer areas of AI, such as genetic algorithms, neural networks, and intelligent agents, you will wish to select a different text.

This book is a survey on the problem of choosing from a tournament. It brings together under a unified and self-contained presentation results and concepts from Graph Theory, Choice Theory, Decision Science and Social Choice which were discovered in the last ten years. Classical scoring and ranking methods are introduced, including the Slater orderings, as well as new statistical methods for describing a tournament, graph-theoretical methods based on the covering relation and game-theoretical methods. As an illustration, results are applied to the classical problem of Majority Voting: How to deal with the Condorcet Paradox.

This volume of Industrial Robotics Fundamentals is a revised edition of SME's highly successful publication designed to acquaint the engineer with the basic information and most recent developments concerning industrial robots. This volume presents a collection of articles from trade journals and technical papers written by many of the most prominent names in the field of robotics.

Chapter One of this volume surveys the trends in robotics and discusses the basics. The book's second chapter, entitled "Implementation", discusses selection, planning and implementation of a robot and presents a user's guide to robot applications. Chapter Three, "Justification", discusses the economic analysis of robot applications and illustrates how robots are increasing efficiency and productivity. "Human Factors", is the topic of Chapter Four. This chapter presents an approach to overcoming worker and management resistance to industrial robots and explores attitudes as well as concerns of both organized labor and individual workers with regard to impacts of advanced technology. Chapter Five, "Capabilities", presents an overview of robots and their applications. Chapter Six, "Application", briefly outlines practical applications and further developments of robots. This book's final chapter, "Advanced Technology", discusses vision-based robots and the use of touch-sensing technology.
