An Introduction to Difference Equations (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

Saber Elaydi
Springer
, 1999
One of the Very Best Introductions on Difference Equations.
Among the few introductory texts to difference equations this book is one of the very best ones. It has many features that the other texts don't have, e.g., stability theory, the Z-transform method (including a study of Volterra systems), and asymptotic behavior of solutions of difference equations (including Levinson's lemma) are studied extensively. It also contains very nice examples that ...

Extremely thorough book on managing a successful website
The first line of the preface to this book reads, "We've had a website for years now, but it hardly pays for itself." This book aims to solve the mysteries that many site owners feel about the performance of their website. Some owners don't know any better, some don't know where to start, and still others rely on false metrics to make their site seem as though it is doing better than it actually ...

SQL best practices bible
I have been working with SQL for several years and always felt a bit weak in my understanding of best practices. I have only absorbed a few chapters so far on index structure and execution plans but already I feel like I have fast tracked into the clever peoples class. The layout is excellent and the language unambigous.

Very readable and entertaining
What surprised me most about this book was how readable it was. OK, I know it's not going on Oprah's book club list, but I was expecting a book that I wouldn't be able to understand beyond certain basics. Kind of like my 10th grade math book. But the way McCarthy works his way through the subject was well organized, clear AND at time humorous. I think that it's an excellent book that most sound ...

One of the best...
I first used this book as a text for a graduate course in Integer Programming. At first it seemed to be a very poorly organized book, but as I read it and grew familiar with the subject, I realized that this is a hybrid textbook-handbook. Though the title says "Integer and Combinatorial", the authors go a step ahead and present topics in advanced linear programming, computational complexity, ...

Short, Sweet, and Meaty
After you have spent 8-80 hours trying random combo's on the Server Configuration panel trying to guess what you should do, buy this book and score a direct hit! Microsoft should bundle this book with SQL Server. If a little more detail were provided on the internal data structures of SQL Server one could write a bulk loader that bypassed SQL Server entirely (I know its been done by others) and ...
Approximation Algorithms

Vijay V. Vazirani
Springer
, 2001
Very nice introduction
This is a quite nice book by an author who is well-known in the field. The book is not thematic, instead it presents certain problems in each chapter along with the main approximation algorithms and correctness proofs. Yet, each new concept is well introduced with the problems. For instance, the author presents LP-based techniques on the same problem (set cover) in the second part of the book. ...

Surprisingly easy to understand and WOW- effective!
I have always been skeptical of SEO materials, and have also been intimated by the process, assuming it was a difficult and mysterious process only a chosen few could understand. I was seriously shocked at this book because of how easy it was to read and understand. I am not a programmer, but I do have an ecommerce web site that was not showing up well organically in search results. I followed ...
Optimal Control Theory: An Introduction

Donald E. Kirk
Dover Publications
, 2004
Classic that never goes out of style
My professor chose this book to use in an Optimal Control class partly because it is very affordable. On top of that, its contents are superb, giving very clear explanations of the fundamental principles underlying Optimal Control for nonlinear/linear systems. Despite its long history, I would think that all material are still relevant, although there are available more "modern" numerical ...

JEKYLL AND HYDE - THE WAR YEARS - VOL 3
This was the third of three Goebbel War Year diaries that I bought and read. Although not the easiest prose to read -- in part they were not written necessarily to be read but to be perhaps used in a memoir that was destined to never be written -- this and the other two diaries are fascinating books for people fascinated by that era. This diary ends on 9 April 45. According to the introduction ...
