Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs


Harold Abelson - 1984
    This long-awaited revision contains changes throughout the text. There are new implementations of most of the major programming systems in the book, including the interpreters and compilers, and the authors have incorporated many small changes that reflect their experience teaching the course at MIT since the first edition was published. A new theme has been introduced that emphasizes the central role played by different approaches to dealing with time in computational models: objects with state, concurrent programming, functional programming and lazy evaluation, and nondeterministic programming. There are new example sections on higher-order procedures in graphics and on applications of stream processing in numerical programming, and many new exercises. In addition, all the programs have been reworked to run in any Scheme implementation that adheres to the IEEE standard.

Fundamentals of Aerodynamics


John D. Anderson Jr. - 1984
    The classic organization of the text has been preserved, with new standalone viscous flow sections at the end of various chapters to conceptualize the coverage of this topic in part 4, and complement discussion of fundamental principles in part 1, inviscid incompressible flow in part 2, and inviscid compressible flow in part 3. Historical topics, carefully developed examples, numerous illustrations, and a wide selection of chapter problems are found throughout the text to motivate and challenge students of aerodynamics. This is the most reliable up-to-date text for students and teachers of aerodynamics. New edition will include a new support tools Aerodynamics website, including animation and simulation tools. New edition will emphasize modern methods without diminishing the study of pure theory and experiment.

    combatant types, as well as plans, profiles, and numerous detailed photographs.

C: A Reference Manual


Samuel P. Harbison III - 1984
    It discusses the ongoing, international standardization of C++, explores the importance of Clean C code in the common subset of the ISO C and C++ languages, and demonstrates other ways to program in a style that is more compatible with C++.

Applied Fluid Dynamics Handbook


Robert D. Blevins - 1984
    The book is designed to present a range of fluid dynamics in a concise form with extensive use of tables and graphics.

C Primer Plus


Stephen Prata - 1984
    From extended integer types and compound literals to Boolean support and variable-length arrays, this book helps you learn to create practical and real-world applications with C programming. It contains review questions and programming exercises.

Advanced Calculus


Wilfred Kaplan - 1984
    Vectors are introduced at the outset and serve at many points to indicate geometrical and physical significance of mathematical relations. Numerical methods are touched upon at various points, because of their practical value and the insights they give about theory. KEY TOPICS: Vectors and Matrices; Differential Calculus of Functions of Several Variables; Vector Differential Calculus; Integral Calculus of Functions of Several Variables; Vector Integral Calculus; Two-Dimensional Theory; Three-Dimensional Theory and Applications; Infinite Series; Fourier Series and Orthogonal Functions; Functions of a Complex Variable; Ordinary Differential Equations; Partial Differential Equations MARKET: For all readers interested in advanced calculus.

Attention and Interpretation


Wilfred R. Bion - 1984
    The study represents a further development of a theme introduced in the author's earlier works, particularly in Elements of Psychoanalysis (1963) and Transformations (1965). Bion's concern with the subject stems directly from his psycho-analytic experience and reflects his endeavor to overcome, in a scientific frame of reference, the immense difficulty of observing, assessing, and communicating non-sensuous experience. Here, he lays emphasis on he overriding importance of attending to the realities of mental phenomena as they manifest themselves in the individual or group under study. In influences that interpose themselves between the observer and the subject of his scrutiny giving rise to opacity, are examined, together with ways of controlling them.
