Mathematicians of the World Unite The International Congress of Mathematicians-A Human Endeavor

Mathematicians of the World Unite The International Congress of Mathematicians-A Human Endeavor

This vividly illustrated history of the International Congress of Mathematicians — a meeting of mathematicians from around the world held roughly every four years — acts as a visual history of the 25 congresses held between 1897 and 2006 as well as a story of changes in the culture of mathematics over the past century. Because the congress is an international meeting looking at its history allows us a glimpse into the effect of wars and strained relations between nations on the scientific community. | Mathematicians of the World Unite The International Congress of Mathematicians-A Human Endeavor

Data Visualization in Excel A Guide for Beginners Intermediates and Wonks

Data Visualization in Excel A Guide for Beginners Intermediates and Wonks

This book closes the gap between what people think Excel can do and what they can achieve in the tool. Over the past few years recognition of the importance of effectively visualizing data has led to an explosion of data analysis and visualization software tools. But for many people Microsoft Excel continues to be the workhorse for their data visualization needs not to mention the only tool that many data workers have access to. Although Excel is not a specialist data visualization platform it does have strong capabilities. The default chart types do not need to be the limit of the tool’s data visualization capabilities and users can extend its features by understanding some key elements and strategies. Data Visualization in Excel provides a step-by-step guide to creating more advanced and often more effective data visualizations in Excel and is the perfect guide for anyone who wants to create better more effective and more engaging data visualizations. | Data Visualization in Excel A Guide for Beginners Intermediates and Wonks

Procedural Generation in Game Design

Procedural Generation in Game Design

Making a game can be an intensive process and if not planned accurately can easily run over budget. The use of procedural generation in game design can help with the intricate and multifarious aspects of game development; thus facilitating cost reduction. This form of development enables games to create their play areas objects and stories based on a set of rules rather than relying on the developer to handcraft each element individually. Readers will learn to create randomized maps weave accidental plotlines and manage complex systems that are prone to unpredictable behavior. Tanya Short’s and Tarn Adams’ Procedural Generation in Game Design offers a wide collection of chapters from various experts that cover the implementation and enactment of procedural generation in games. Designers from a variety of studios provide concrete examples from their games to illustrate the many facets of this emerging sub-discipline. Key Features: Introduces the differences between static/traditional game design and procedural game design Demonstrates how to solve or avoid common problems with procedural game design in a variety of concrete ways Includes industry leaders’ experiences and lessons from award-winning games World’s finest guide for how to begin thinking about procedural design

Foundations of Physically Based Modeling and Animation

Foundations of Physically Based Modeling and Animation

Physics forms the basis for many of the motions and behaviors seen in both the real world and in the virtual worlds of animated films visual effects and computer games. By describing the underlying physical principles and then creating simulations based on these principles these computer-generated worlds are brought to life. Physically Based Modeling and Animation goes behind the scenes of computer animation and details the mathematical and algorithmic foundations that are used to determine the behavior underlying the movement of virtual objects and materials. Dr. Donald House and Dr. John Keyser offer an approachable hands-on view of the equations and programming that form the foundations of this field. They guide readers from the beginnings of modeling and simulation to more advanced techniques enabling them to master what they need to know in order to understand and create their own animationsEmphasizes the underlying concepts of the field and is not tied to any particular software package language or API. Develops concepts in mathematics physics numerical methods and software design in a highly integrated way enhancing both motivation and understanding. Progressively develops the material over the book starting from very basic techniques and building on these to introduce topics of increasing complexity. Motivates the topics by tying the underlying physical and mathematical techniques directly to applications in computer animation. | Foundations of Physically Based Modeling and Animation
