This edition of Finite Mathematics with Applications continues to be an excellent learning tool for applied mathematics students. As always, the text... includes the popular margin exercises as well as comprehensive review of algebraic topics, but with this revision comes the fresh insight of a new co-author. This new edition is all that you need and more.

Fundamental arithmetic operations support virtually all of the engineering, scientific, and financial computations required for practical applications,... from cryptography, to financial planning, to rocket science. This comprehensive reference provides researchers with the thorough understanding of number representations that is a necessary foundation for designing efficient arithmetic algorithms. Using the elementary foundations of radix number systems as a basis for arithmetic, the authors develop and compare alternative algorithms for the fundamental operations of addition, multiplication, division, and square root with precisely defined roundings. Various finite precision number systems are investigated, with the focus on comparative analysis of practically efficient algorithms for closed arithmetic operations over these systems. Each chapter begins with an introduction to its contents and ends with bibliographic notes and an extensive bibliography. The book may also be used for graduate teaching: problems and exercises are scattered throughout the text and a solutions manual is available for instructors.

Finite State Machine Datapath Design, Optimization, and Implementation explores the design space of combined FSM/Datapath implementations. The lecture... starts by examining performance issues in digital systems such as clock skew and its effect on setup and hold time constraints, and the use of pipelining for increasing system clock frequency. This is followed by definitions for latency and throughput, with associated resource tradeoffs explored in detail through the use of dataflow graphs and scheduling tables applied to examples taken from digital signal processing applications. Also, design issues relating to functionality, interfacing, and performance for different types of memories commonly found in ASICs and FPGAs such as FIFOs, single-ports, and dual-ports are examined. Selected design examples are presented in implementation-neutral Verilog code and block diagrams, with associated design files available as downloads for both Altera Quartus and Xilinx Virtex FPGA platforms. A working knowledge of Verilog, logic synthesis, and basic digital design techniques is required. This lecture is suitable as a companion to the synthesis lecture titled Introduction to Logic Synthesis using Verilog HDL.

Finley's Interactive Cadaveric Dissection Guide is a step-by-step instructional text with DVD for cadaveric dissection. The dissection is presented... regionally on the body and includes the trunk, extremities, face, neck, thorax, abdomen and viscera. Other dissections include all joints of the extremities, a spinal laminectomy, and dissections of the larynx, pharynx, TMJ, and pelvic anatomy for both male and female. Each section is illustrated using line drawings and digital still images. The DVD provides three dimensional explanations of human cadeveric techniques along with verbal instructions. Each chapter of the text includes illustrations, still color photos of the steps, and references to the DVD.
