This book is designed for use as a supplement to all current standard texts or as a textbook for a formal course on Probability and Statistics. It should also be of considerable value to those taking courses in mathematics, management, commerce, or any of the numerous other fields in which Probability and statistical methods are employed.
This concise introduction to probability theory carries on the success of previous editions, offering readers a logical, well-organized look at the fundamental of the subject--includes applications that strengthen engineers' grasp of probability concepts. New! Coverage of discrete-time random processes and sequences, and other general topics related to digital signal processing.
This is the of the programming language-independent text that helped establish computer algorithms as a discipline of computer science. The text incorporates the latest research and state-of-the-art applications, bringing this classic to the forefront of modern computer science education. A major strength of this text is its focus on design techniques rather than on individual algorithms. This book is appropriate as a core text for upper-and graduate-level courses in algorithms.
Have you ever wondered how your GPS can find the fastest way to your destination, selecting one route from seemingly countless possibilities in mere seconds? How your credit card account number is protected when you make a purchase over the Internet? The answer is algorithms. And how do these mathematical formulations translate themselves into your GPS, your laptop, or your smartphone? This book offers an engagingly written guide to the basics of computer algorithms. In Algorithms Unlocked, Thomas Cormen―coauthor of the leading college textbook on the subject―provides a general explanation, with limited mathematics, of how algorithms enable computers to solve problems.

Thorough coverage of basic digital communication system principles ensures that readers are exposed to all basic relevant topics in digital communication system design. The use of CD player and JPEG image coding standard as examples of systems that employ modern communication principles allows readers to relate the theory to practical systems. Over 180 worked-out examples throughout the book aids readers in understanding basic concepts. Over 480 problems involving applications to practical systems such as satellite communications systems, ionospheric channels, and mobile radio channels gives readers ample opportunity to practice the concepts they have just learned.
Fundamentals of Microelectronics, 2nd Edition is designed to build a strong foundation in both design and analysis of electronic circuits this text offers conceptual understanding and mastery of the material by using modern examples to motivate and prepare readers for advanced courses and their careers. The books unique problem-solving framework enables readers to deconstruct complex problems into components that they are familiar with which builds the confidence and intuitive skills needed for success.
Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications provides clear, balanced and modern introduction to the subject. Written with the student’s background and ability in mind the book takes an innovative approach to quantum mechanics by combining the essential elements of the theory with the practical applications: it is therefore both a textbook and a problem-solving book in one self-contained volume. Carefully structured, the book starts with the experimental basis of quantum mechanics and then discusses its mathematical tools. Subsequent chapters cover the formal foundations of the subject, the exact solutions of theSchrödinger equation for one and three-dimensional potentials, time-independent and time-dependent approximation methods, and finally, the theory of scattering.
The Third Edition of the standard textbook and reference in the field of semiconductor devices
This classic book has set the standard for advanced study and reference in the semiconductor device field. Now completely updated and reorganized to reflect the tremendous advances in device concepts and performance, this Third Edition remains the most detailed and exhaustive single source of information on the most important semiconductor devices. It gives readers immediate access to detailed descriptions of the underlying physics and performance characteristics of all major bipolar, field-effect, microwave, photonic, and sensor devices.
The new edition offers a most accurate, extensive and varied set of assessment questions of any course management program in addition to all questions including some form of question assistance including answer specific feedback to facilitate success. The text also offers multimedia presentations (videos and animations) of much of the material that provides an alternative pathway through the material for those who struggle with reading scientific exposition. Furthermore, the book includes math review content in both a self-study module for more in-depth review and also in just-in-time math videos for a quick refresher on a specific topic.
Digital Fundamentals, Eleventh Edition, continues its long and respected tradition of offering students a strong foundation in the core fundamentals of digital technology, providing basic concepts reinforced by plentiful illustrations, examples, exercises, and applications. The text’s teaching and learning resources include an Instructor’s Manual, PowerPoint lecture slides, and Test Bank, as well as study resources for students.
Discrete Mathematics And Its Applications (SIE) is a study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete rather than continuous. Discrete objects can often be enumerated by integers, and more formally, deal with countable sets.
