This book teaches you to write small programs to solve computational problems, i.e. problems for which we can compute a solution in a series of steps. The book first explains how to write computer programs in an iterative way. The program then uses iterative statements that execute the same sequence of instructions over and over again under slightly changing conditions. Hereafter, the book explains how to write recursive programs as an alternative for iterative programs. In a recursive progra...

Research in biotechnology and molecular biology requires a vast amount of calculations. Results of one data set become the basis of the next.

An error of choosing the wrong type of equation can turn what would have been a successful research project or weeks of labor and ...

User interface (UI) design rules and guidelines, developed by early HCI gurus and recognized throughout the field, were based on cognitive psychology (study of mental processes such as problem solving, memory, and language), and early practitioners were well informed of its tenets. But today practitioners with backgrounds in cognitive psychology are a minority, as user interface designers and developers enter the field from a wide array of disciplines. HCI practitioners today have enough expe...
