Product Description

Emphasizing the connection between mathematical objects and their practical C++ implementation, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to both the theory behind the objects and the C and C++ programming. Object-oriented implementation of three-dimensional meshes facilitates understanding of their mathematical nature. Requiring no prerequisites, the text covers discrete mathematics, data structures, and computational physics, including high-order discretization of nonlinear equations. Exercises and solutions make the book suitable for classroom use and a supporting website supplies downloadable code.

Preface
Mathematics can be viewed as the philosophy of abstract objects. Indeed,
mathematics studies all sorts of useful objects, from numbers to multilevel
hierarchies and more general sets, along with the relations and functions associated
with them.
The approach used in this book is to focus on the objects, rather than on the
functions that use them. After all, the objects are the main building bricks of
the language of mathematics. The C++ implementation of the objects makes
them far more understandable and easy to comprehend.
This book shows the strong connection between the theoretical nature of
mathematical objects and their practical C++ implementation. For example,
the theoretical principle of mathematical induction is used extensively to
define useful recursive C++ objects. Furthermore, algebraic and geometrical
objects are implemented in several different ways. Moreover, highly unstructured
computational objects such as oriented and nonoriented graphs, twoand
three-dimensional meshes, and sparse stiffness and mass matrices are implemented
in short and well-debugged code segments.
The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in math,
applied math, computer science, and engineering who want to combine the
theoretical and practical aspects. Because the book assumes no background in
mathematics, computer science, or any other field, it can serve as a text book
in courses in discrete mathematics, computational physics, numerical methods
for PDEs, introduction to C for mathematicians and engineers, introduction
to C++ for mathematicians and engineers, and data structures.
Parts I–II introduce elementary mathematical objects, such as numbers
and geometrical objects. These parts are aimed at beginners, and can be
skipped by more experienced readers. Part III provides the required theoretical
background, including preliminary definitions, algorithms, and simple results.
Part IV teaches C from a mathematical point of view, with an emphasis on
recursion. Part V teaches C++ from a mathematical point of view, using
templates to implement vectors and linked lists. Part VI implements more
complex objects such as trees, graphs, and triangulations. Finally, Part VII
implements yet more advanced objects, such as 3-D meshes, polynomials of
two and three variables, sparse stiffness and mass matrices to linearize 3-D
problems, and 3-D splines.
Each chapter ends with relevant exercises to help comprehend the material.
Fully explained solutions are available in the appendix. The original code is

* A-Z coverage of this complex subject area makes this volume easily accessible to professionals and researchers in all fields who are interested in a particular aspect of biometrics
* Targeted literature references provide additional value for researchers looking to study a topic in more detail
* Bibliographic entries provide reader with a portal to more detailed information
* Expository and tutorial entries make this encyclopedia a practical resource for experts in the field and professionals in additional fields

Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. Among the features measured are face, fingerprints, hand geometry, handwriting, iris, retina, vein, and voice.

With an A–Z format, the comprehensive Encyclopedia of Biometrics will provide easy access to relevant information on all aspects of Biometrics for those seeking entry into the broad field of Biometrics. The Encyclopedia will be composed of about 250 entries, covering biometrics modalities, systems and applications.

Each entry will include a definition, key words, list of synonyms, list of related entries, illustration(s), applications, and a bibliography. Most entries will include useful literature references providing the reader with a portal to more detailed information. The style of the entries is expository and tutorial, making the encyclopedia a practical resource for experts in the field as well as professionals in other fields.
Written for:

Research scientists and industry practitioners in a wide variety of fields for a broad array of applications; computer scientists and academics in other areas such as engineering, math, statistics, political science, management science, psychology, biomedicine; advanced-level students interested in entering the field of biometrics or working in related areas

Product Description
This unique and much needed textbook meets the rapidly emerging needs of programs training pharmacologic scientists seeking careers in basic research and drug discovery rather than such applied fields as pharmacy and medicine. While the market is crowded with many clinical and therapeutic pharmacology textbooks, the field of pharmacology is booming with the prospects of discovering new drugs, and virtually no extant textbook meets this need at the student level. The market is so bereft of such approaches that many pharmaceutical companies will adopt Hacker, et al. to help train new drug researchers.

The boom in pharmacology is driven by the recent decryption of the human genome and enormous progress in controlling genes and synthesizing proteins, making new and even custom drug design possible. This book makes use of these discoveries in presenting its topics, moving logically from drug receptors to the target molecules drug researchers seek, covering such modern topics along the way as side effects, drug resistance, Pharmacogenomics, and even nutriceuticals, one in a string of culminating chapters on the drug discovery process.

*Uses individual drugs to explain molecular actions
*Full color art program explains molecular and chemical concepts graphically
*Logical structure reflecting the current state of pharmacology and translational research, starting with receptors and finishing with target molecules
*Covers such intricacies as drug resistance and cell death
*Consistent format across chapters and pedagogical strategies make this textbook a superior learning tool
