    Description

    This book combines mathematics (geometry and topology), computer science (algorithms), and engineering (mesh generation) in order to solve the conceptual and technical problems in the combining of elements of combinatorial and numerical algorithms. The book develops methods from areas that are amenable to combination and explains recent breakthrough solutions to meshing that fit into this category. It should be an ideal graduate text for courses on mesh generation. The specific material is selected giving preference to topics that are elementary, attractive, lend themselves to teaching, are useful, and interesting.

    • Combines topics from mathematics, computer science, and engineering
    • Based upon a graduate-level course given at Duke University
    • Has wide application in both industry and academia

    Theory and Practice of Logic Programming

    : Journal

    Theory and Practice of Logic Programming emphasises both the theory and practice of logic programming. Logic programming applies to all areas of artificial intelligence and computer science and is fundamental to all of them. Among the topics covered are AI applications that use logic programming, logic programming methodologies, specification, analysis and verification of systems, inductive logic programming, multi-relational data mining, natural language processing, knowledge representation, nonmonotonic reasoning, semantic web reasoning, databases, implementations and architectures and constraint logic programming.

    The Review of Symbolic Logic

    : Journal

    The Review of Symbolic Logic is designed to cultivate research on theborders of logic, philosophy, and the sciences, and to supportsubstantive interactions between these disciplines. The journalwelcomes submissions in any of the following areas, broadly construed: - The general study of logical systems and their semantics,including non-classical logics and algebraic logic; - Philosophical logic and formal epistemology, including interactions with decision theory and game theory; - The history, philosophy, and methodology of logic and mathematics, including the history of philosophy of logic and mathematics; - Applications of logic to the sciences, such as computer science, cognitive science, and linguistics; and logical results addressing foundational issues in the sciences. The Review welcomes submissions in all these areas. (For informationon how to submit papers, see Guidelines below.) The Review beganpublication in June 2008.
