This text for students and professionals in computer science provides a valuable overview of current knowledge concerning parallel algorithms. These computer operations have recently acquired increased importance due to their ability to enhance the power of computers by permitting multiple processors to work on different parts of a problem independently and simultaneously. This approach has led to solutions of difficult problems in a number of vital fields, including artificial intelligence, image processing, and differential equations. As the first up-to-date summary of the topic, this book will be sought after by researchers, computer science professionals, and advanced students involved in parallel computing and parallel algorithms.

Over centuries, the Fairchild family has used their vast fortune, business empire, and unscrupulous nature to become one of the most dominant companies globally, while also gaining control over a large portion of the American economy. As the reluctant head of Horizon International Corporation-the family business-the eccentric heiress and college student, Constance Fairchild, is the last of the family line. Her demanding and lonely life spins out of control when her secretary, Angela dies in an apparent terrorist bombing at her company. With her last breath, Angela makes Constance promise to look after her four-year-old son, Tim. Believing Angela died in her place, Constance does more than that-she adopts him. But in the days following the attack, mysteries begin to confound her as Constance learns that everything she thought she knew about her secretary-including her name-was false. While seeking answers, Constance develops strange and terrifying psychic powers-giving her a view of the world she never imagined possible, and she learns that nothing at her company is as it appears. Trapped in the midst of corporate conspiracy, espionage, and unparalleled savagery, Constance must confront her Board of Directors and regain control. Amidst shocking betrayals, the threat of mobsters seeking to kill her and her friends, pursuit by foreign intelligence services, the near-collapse of the American economy, and a terrorist conspiracy on American soil, Constance must use all of her power and resources to overcome her plight and save millions of lives-including her own and her son's.

This book is intended for self-study or as a textbook for graduate students or advanced undergraduates. It presupposes some basic knowledge of point-set topology and a solid foundation in linear algebra. Otherwise, it develops all of the commutative algebra, sheaf-theory and cohomology needed to understand the material. It also presents applications to robotics and other fields.

This book covers classic areas such as group theory, ring theory, linear algebra, Galois theory. Its 20th century material includes Gröbner bases, category theory, division algebras over the reals (with applications of quaternions to computer graphics), and cohomology. The category theory section also covers some multilinear and exterior algebra.

Sequel to The God Virus.In a sweeping panorama from the continent-spanning forests of Oz to the dystopian hell that is Pembroke, the Indigo tribe grows as they hire archaeologists to determine why their homeland is uninhabited. They uncover an ancient evil bent on destroying all other sentient life in the universe — one that exterminated cave men and other species on Oz. They also battle evil governments in other universes and establish themselves in a quaint but beautiful timeline.
