Covering nearly 200 years of history, The General relates the story of the hospital from its origins and founding to the transition and aftermath of its incorporation into the McGill University Health Centre in 1997.

This is an essential resource for graduate students and researchers in theoretical computer science, circuits, networks and information theory.

This graduate-level text gives a thorough overview of the analysis of Boolean functions, beginning with the most basic definitions and proceeding to advanced topics.

We survey several techniques for proving lower bounds in Boolean, algebraic, and communication complexity based on certain linear algebraic approaches.

This is leading to a new understanding of the structure of these problems, and of how algorithms perform on them.

This monograph surveys lower bounds in the field of communication complexity. Our focus is on lower bounds that work by first representing the communication complexity measure in Euclidean space.

Algorithmic Results in List Decoding introduces and motivates the problem of list decoding, and discusses the central algorithmic results of the subject, culminating with the recent results on achieving "list decoding capacity.

This book brings together about 2,500 quotations on various topics of interest to scientists and engineers, including students of STEM disciplines.

This biography describes the life of Lorentz, from his early childhood, as the son of a market gardener in the provincial town of Arnhem, to his death, as a towering figure in physics and in international scientific cooperation, and as a ...

The text is supplemented by a large number of exercises and new results.
