Product Description: This volume collects refereed contributions based on the presentations made at the Sixth Workshop on Advanced Mathematical and Computational Tools in Metrology, held at the Istituto di Metrologia “G. Colonnetti” (IMGC), Torino, Italy, in September 2003...read more

Product Description: Advances in metrology depend on improvements in scientific and technical knowledge and in instrumentation quality, as well as on better use of advanced mathematical tools and development of new ones. In this volume, scientists from both the mathematical and the metrological fields exchange their experiences...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This should be of interest to researchers in universities, research centres and industries who are involved in measurements and need advanced mathematical tools to solve their problems, and to whoever is working in the development of these mathematical tools...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This work details the proceedings from the Euroconference in Oxford on the subject of advanced mathematical tools in metrology.

Product Description: This volume comprises the proceedings of the second Shrivenham conference on Algorithms for Approximation. The term 'approximation' here refers to 'the approximation of functions and data by similar functions', and leads to such topics as curve and surface fitting, spline and piecewise polynomial methods, finite element modelling, and computer-aided design...read more

Product Description: The main aim of this book is to present a broader view of scientific software than has been common in the past. The provision of scientific software is no longer a matter of just writing 'good computer programs', but rather it is concerned with the development of an integrated software system wI-,ich offers the user facilities which approach all that he needs in terms of speed, accuracy and convenience...read more

Product Description: Intended for professional mathematicians, this volume surveys fundamental work in the practical and algorithmic aspects of approximation. The techniques examined have direct applications in many fields, among them computer-aided design, meteorology, stress analysis, chemistry, and mathematics...read more
