Handbook of Video Databases: Design and Applications

by Borko Furht (Editor), Oge Marques (Editor)

"Pocket Book of Integrals and Mathematical Formulas," a revision of a very successful pocket book, provides a handy desk-top reference for engineers and scientists seeking essential formulas, concepts, and definitions. The topics range from pre-calculus to vector analysis and from Fourier transforms to statistics. This third edition contains: a new chapter on business and financial mathematics - providing information on progressions, especially geometric progressions, which is the basis for many formulas related to annuities, growth of funds, and interest payments; and, additional topics in statistics - including sample size calculations for testing differences and proportions. Featuring numerical tables of probability distributions, the book also includes discussions on formula listings and differential equations, Fourier series, Laplace and z-transforms, Vector analysis, and Orthogonal polynomials. Many other handbooks go too far in their attempts, essentially mimicking larger comprehensive texts they try to summarize. The result is a reference less detailed than the full texts and too big to be conveniently portable. Most scientists do not carry them.; Through a careful selection of topics and detail, "Pocket Book of Integrals and Mathematical Formulas" truly meets the needs of engineers and scientists - a convenient, usable supplementary text providing worked examples where most necessary. Its comprehensive information and convenient arrangement of tables makes it an essential and easy to use reference.
