Introduction to Recursive Programming

Introduction to Recursive Programming

Recursion is one of the most fundamental concepts in computer science and a key programming technique that allows computations to be carried out repeatedly. Despite the importance of recursion for algorithm design most programming books do not cover the topic in detail despite the fact that numerous computer programming professors and researchers in the field of computer science education agree that recursion is difficult for novice students. Introduction to Recursive Programming provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to recursion. This text will serve as a useful guide for anyone who wants to learn how to think and program recursively by analyzing a wide variety of computational problems of diverse difficulty. It contains specific chapters on the most common types of recursion (linear tail and multiple) as well as on algorithm design paradigms in which recursion is prevalent (divide and conquer and backtracking). Therefore it can be used in introductory programming courses and in more advanced classes on algorithm design. The book also covers lower-level topics related to iteration and program execution and includes a rich chapter on the theoretical analysis of the computational cost of recursive programs offering readers the possibility to learn some basic mathematics along the way. It also incorporates several elements aimed at helping students master the material. First it contains a larger collection of simple problems in order to provide a solid foundation of the core concepts before diving into more complex material. In addition one of the book's main assets is the use of a step-by-step methodology together with specially designed diagrams for guiding and illustrating the process of developing recursive algorithms. Furthermore the book covers combinatorial problems and mutual recursion. These topics can broaden students' understanding of recursion by forcing them to apply the learned concepts differently or in a more sophisticated manner. The code examples have been written in Python 3 but should be straightforward to understand for students with experience in other programming languages. Finally worked out solutions to over 120 end-of-chapter exercises are available for instructors.

Introduction to Electromagnetism From Coulomb to Maxwell

Introduction to Electromagnetism From Coulomb to Maxwell

This edition aims to expand on the first edition and take the reader through to the wave equation on coaxial cable and free-space by using Maxwell’s equations. The new chapters include time varying signals and fundamentals of Maxwell's equations. This book will introduce and discuss electromagnetic fields in an accessible manner. The author explains electroconductive fields and develops ideas relating to signal propagation and develops Maxwell’s equations and applies them to propagation in a planar optical waveguide. The first of the new chapters introduces the idea of a travelling wave by considering the variation of voltage along a coaxial line. This concept will be used in the second new chapter which solves Maxwell’s equations in free-space and then applies them to a planar optical waveguide in the third new chapter. As this is an area that most students find difficult it links back to the earlier chapters to aid understanding. This book is intended for first- and second-year electrical and electronic undergraduates and can also be used for undergraduates in mechanical engineering computing and physics. The book includes examples and homework problems. Introduces and examines electrostatic fields in an accessible manner Explains electroconductive fields Develops ideas relating to signal propagation Examines Maxwell’s equations and relates them to propagation in a planar optical waveguide Martin Sibley recently retired after 33 years of teaching at the University of Huddersfield. He has a PhD from Huddersfield Polytechnic in Preamplifier Design for Optical Receivers. He started his career in academia in 1986 having spent 3 years as a postgraduate student and then 2 years as a British Telecom-funded research fellow. His research work had a strong bias to the practical implementation of research and he taught electromagnetism and communications at all levels since 1986. Dr. Sibley finished his academic career as a Reader in Communications School of Computing and Engineering University of Huddersfield. He has authored five books and published over 80 research papers. | Introduction to Electromagnetism From Coulomb to Maxwell
