Application of the concepts and methods of topology and geometry have led to a deeper understanding of many crucial aspects in condensed matter physics, cosmology, gravity and particle physics. This book can be considered an advanced textbook on modern applications and recent developments in these fields of physical research. Written as a set of largely self-contained extensive lectures, the book gives an introduction to topological concepts in gauge theories, BRST quantization, chiral anomalies, sypersymmetric solitons and noncommutative geometry. It will be of benefit to postgraduate students, educating newcomers to the field and lecturers looking for advanced material.

A definitive and up-to-date handbook of semiconductor devices
Semiconductor devices, the basic components of integrated circuits, are responsible for the rapid growth of the electronics industry over the past fifty years. Because there is a growing need for faster and more complex systems for the information age, existing semiconductor devices are constantly being studied for improvement, and new ones are being continually invented. As a result, a large number of types and variations of devices are available in the literature. The Second Edition of this unique engineering guide continues to be the only available complete collection of semiconductor devices, identifying 74 major devices and more than 200 variations of these devices.

Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering Understanding the Promise of the Future
The computer is a surprisingly seductive device. It tempts us with the promise of its great power, but also entices the unwary to overstep the bounds of manageable complexity. Managers, business owners, computer literate individuals, and software developers alike are all seeking an understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and wondering how it might be used.
In this easy-to-read discussion, Derek Partridge helps us understand what AI can and can not do. The topics discussed include:
** strengths and weaknesses of software development and engineering ** the promises and problems of machine learning ** expert systems and success stories ** practical software through artificial intelligence

This book is a one-stop resource to help executives and computer professionals protect their systems and data from a myriad of internal and external threats. Addressing a wide range of security issues, it provides practical guidance on topics such as: physical security procedures * data preservation and protection * hardware and software protection * personnel management and security * network security * contingency planning * legal and auditing planning and control, and more.

You're not alone. At any given moment, somewhere in the world someone struggles with the same software design problems you have. You know you don't want to reinvent the wheel (or worse, a flat tire), so you look to Design Patterns – the lessons learned by those who've faced the same problems. With Design Patterns, you get to take advantage of the best practices and experience of others, so that you can spend your time on...something else.

The first revision of this third volume is the most comprehensive survey of classical computer techniques for sorting and searching. It extends the treatment of data structures in Volume 1 to consider both large and small databases and internal and external memories. The book contains a selection of carefully checked computer methods, with a quantitative analysis of their efficiency. Outstanding features of the second edition include a revised section on optimum sorting and new discussions of the theory of permutations and of universal hashing.

Problem-Solving Strategies is a unique collection of competition problems from over twenty major national and international mathematical competitions for high school students. The discussion of problem solving strategies is extensive.
