A first in its field, this book is both an introduction to computer simulation of liquids for upper level undergraduates and a how-to guide for specialists. The authors discuss the latest simulation techniques of molecular dynamics and the Monte Carlo methods as well as how to a…
Written for researchers and developers of three-dimensional modeling programs, this book examines the variety of existing systems while investigating the practical limitations of available software. From the table of contents: - Polyhedra - Boundary Models - A Small Language Mod…
Theories of hearing -- On logarithmic and power-law hearing -- Human hearing overview -- Acoustic approaches and auditory influence -- Introduction to linear systems -- Discrete-time and digital systems -- Resonators -- Gammatone and related filters -- Nonlinear systems -- Autom…
"If we understood more about how humans hear, we could make machines hear better, in the sense of being able to analyze sound and extract useful and meaningful information from it. Or so I claim. I have been working for decades, but more intensely in recent years, to add some su…
Computer simulation of materials at atomic level
"Combining theory and applications, this book deals with the modelling of materials properties and phenomena at atomic level." "The first part provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of computational solid state physics. Emphasis is given on the understanding of approximati…

Explores "how the algorithms used by computers can also untangle very human questions. They explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others. From finding a spouse to finding a parkin…
A fascinating exploration of how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, helping to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind. All our lives are constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise…
