Free Download Maria P. Canton, "Software Solutions for Engineers and Scientists"
English | 2007 | pages: 946 | ISBN: 1420043021 | PDF | 5,0 mb
Software requirements for engineering and scientific applications are almost always computational and possess an advanced mathematical component. However, an application that calls for calculating a statistical function, or performs basic differentiation of integration, cannot be easily developed in C++ or most programming languages. In such a case, the engineer or scientist must assume the role of software developer. And even though scientists who take on the role as programmer can sometimes be the originators of major software products, they often waste valuable time developing algorithms that lead to untested and unreliable routines.

Free Download Ivan Tomov Dimov, "Monte Carlo Methods For Applied Scientists"
English | 2005 | pages: 308 | ISBN: 9810223293 | PDF | 1,5 mb
The Monte Carlo method is inherently parallel and the extensive and rapid development in parallel computers, computational clusters and grids has resulted in renewed and increasing interest in this method. At the same time there has been an expansion in the application areas and the method is now widely used in many important areas of science including nuclear and semiconductor physics, statistical mechanics and heat and mass transfer.This book attempts to bridge the gap between theory and practice concentrating on modern algorithmic implementation on parallel architecture machines. Although a suitable text for final year postgraduate mathematicians and computational scientists it is principally aimed at the applied scientists: only a small amount of mathematical knowledge is assumed and theorem proving is kept to a minimum, with the main focus being on parallel algorithms development often to applied industrial problems.A selection of algorithms developed both for serial and parallel machines are provided.

Free Download Robert L. Wood, "C Programming for Scientists and Engineers"
English | 2002 | pages: 151 | ISBN: 1857180305 | PDF | 7,5 mb
The aim of this book is to provide a rapid introduction to the C programming language. In a computing world that is increasingly full of C++ and Object Oriented methods, C still has an important role to play, particularly in the implementation of engineering and scientific calculations. This book is biased towards those features of C that make it useful for these types of application. This makes the book particularly relevant to students on various engineering and scientific courses where the role of C programming may range from being an important supportive topic to a core discipline.Neither C nor any other programming language can be learned simply by reading about it. Consequently, each chapter is further divided into ‘key points’, or more focused sections that involve the reader in various programming activities guided by tutorial questions. These are accompanied by tutorial problems at the end of each chapter that aim to integrate the chapter topic into the wider framework of C programming and technical applications. The two key features of this book are its focus on those aspects of C that are of most general use, and presentation of these features in a way that is particularly accessible by students on engineering and science based courses. The pace of the book is quite rapid, covering a lot of C functionality in a relatively small number of pages. This is achieved through concise but carefully thought-out explanations of key points. This approach is a strong contrast to the majority of books on C that typically run to several hundred pages and, consequently, require significant commitment from the reader. This is especially important when C programming may only be, perhaps, one of six subjects studied in a fifteen week semester.

It provides a learning tool for engineers as well as for researchers and scientists of advanced level. The text further discusses important concepts such as polynomial manipulation, sparse matrices, implementation of stack using the queue model and topological sorting.

Free Download Ad Lagendijk, "Survival Guide for Scientists: Writing – Presentation – Email Ed 3"
English | ISBN: 9053565124 | 2009 | 260 pages | PDF | 843 KB
During the course of Dutch physicist and Spinoza Prize-winner Ad Lagendijk’s long and influential career, he has published more than 300 articles, supervised over thirty doctoral dissertations, and given countless presentations and conference addresses. Over the years, his incisive consultations, tips, and rules for scientific study have proven themselves so beneficial to the emerging scientists under his watch that he has been inundated with requests for a written version. Aimed primarily at undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students, this essential guide presents Lagendijk’s practical how-to advice on topics such as writing scientific texts, presenting data and research information, and the writing and reading of collegial emails. Each section is organised by a collection of short rules, outlined and numbered in a logical order as selfexplanatory pieces of information – allowing the reader the freedom to study any number of them in any desired order. But it doesn’t stop there: many of the hints, in particular those referring to presentations, are of invaluable use for a much broader audience of professionals, up to consultants and (public) managers.

Free Download Arundhati Virmani, "Social Scientists in the Civic Space "
English | ISBN: 1032909854 | 2024 | 250 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 5 MB
The book explores the stakes for the social sciences around four central problems: the challenges of context; modes of intervention; involvement; and the ethical dilemmas for the scholar in a democratic space. The first, challenges of the context, examines the variety of situations confronted by scholars since the beginning of the 20th century. These include their interventions in key judicial affairs, the impact of technological developments like the introduction of big data, or even the positionality of the scholar. Second, the book investigates the modalities according to which social scientists may intervene in the civic space: in particular as specialists, as experts, or in the media. A third problem brings together some cases illustrative of researchers’ involvement in critical issues, such as food policies, major social reforms, or gender-related questions. Finally, the book concludes with a reflection on the modes of exercising critique or dissent in democratic societies and on the ethical dimensions of involvement in the civic space.
