In 1884, Edwin Abbott Abbott wrote a mathematical adventure set in a two-dimensional plane world, populated by a hierarchical society of regular geometrical figures-who think and speak and have all too human emotions. Since then Flatland has fascinated generations of readers, becoming a perennial science-fiction favorite. By imagining the contact of beings from different dimensions, the author fully exploited the power of the analogy between the limitations of humans and those of his two-dimensional characters.

A first-rate fictional guide to the concept of multiple...

In this fast-paced 100-page guide, you'll learn to load, display and interact with dynamic, data-powered Visio diagrams in SharePoint 2013 or Office 365.

Visio Services Quick Guide gives you the tools to build anything from a simple project workflow to an organizational infrastructure diagram, powered by real data from SharePoint or SQL Server. Colleagues can load your diagrams entirely in the browser, meaning that a single Visio client installation is enough to get started. Readers with JavaScript experience will also find out how to get additional control over Visio...

Pixel shaders are some of the more powerful graphic tools available for XAML programmers, but shader development bears little resemblance to traditional .NET programming. With this hands-on book, you'll not only discover how to use existing shaders in your Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight applications, you'll also learn how create your own effects with XAML and Microsoft's HLSL shading language.

In the process, you'll write, compile, and test custom XAML shaders with the Shazzam Shader Editor, a free utility developed by author Walt Ritscher. The book includes...

How do you use R to import, manage, visualize, and analyze real-world data? With this short, hands-on tutorial, you learn how to collect online data, massage it into a reasonable form, and work with it using R facilities to interact with web servers, parse HTML and XML, and more. Rather than use canned sample data, you'll plot and analyze current home foreclosure auctions in Philadelphia.

This practical mashup exercise shows you how to access spatial data in several formats locally and over the Web to produce a map of home foreclosures. It's an excellent way to explore how the R...

Der Band ist an der Schnittstelle zwischen linearer Algebra und rechnerischer Geometrie angesiedelt. Einerseits werden die klassischen Geometrien mit Mitteln der linearen Algebra behandelt, andererseits grundlegende Strukturen der rechnerischen Geometrie und algorithmische Methoden diskutiert. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf den geometrischen Eigenschaften, wobei auch relevante algorithmische Konzepte vorgestellt werden. Geeignet fur die Studienrichtungen Mathematik, Informatik, Maschinenbau, Bauingenieurwesen sowie fur Anwender geometrischer Konzepte.
