Nunca es tarea sencilla realizar un diccionario, pero particularmente arduo es realizar el diccionario de un nuevo campo pluridisciplinar. Tratándose del primero en la materia, este diccionario es, en cierto modo, un “acto (epistemológico) de lenguaje”, con todos los riesgos que ello supone. Este primer Diccionario de ciencias cognitivas conjuga los aportes esenciales de la neurociencia cognitiva, la psicología cognitiva, la Inteligencia Artificial (IA), la lingüística cognitiva y la filosofía de la mente. Las ciencias cognitivas se imponen hoy como un nuevo campo del saber que intenta dilucidar mediante la experimentación, la modelización y el uso de tecnologías de punta, el “Misterio de la Mente” en sus relaciones con la Materia: el cerebro, el cuerpo y la computadora. El conjunto del trabajo brinda un diccionario con entradas elegidas (desde Abducción hasta Voluntad), con múltiples remisiones de unas a otras, y contribuciones disciplinares de geometría variable.

This is a first-rate introductory book that takes a practical approach to solving problems using C++. It covers a much wider scope of C++ programming than other introductory books I've seen, and in a surprisingly compact format.

--Dag Brück, founding member of the ANSI/ISO C++ committee

The authors present a clear, cogent introduction to C++ programming in a way that gets the student writing nontrivial programs immediately.

--Stephen Clamage, Sun Microsystems, Inc., and chair of the ANSI C++ committee

Anyone reading just this one book and working through the examples and exercises will have the same skills as many professional programmers.

--Jeffrey D. Oldham, Stanford University

Why is Accelerated C++ so effective? Because it

• Starts with the most useful concepts rather than the most primitive ones: You can begin writing programs immediately.
• Describes real problems and solutions, not just language features: You see not only what each feature is, but also how to use it.
• Covers the language and standard library together: You can use the library right from the start.

Whether you are eager to get started writing your first C++ programs, or you are already using C++ and seeking deeper understanding, the authors' unique approach and expertise make Accelerated C++ an indispensable addition to your library.

This book is an introduction to computational mechanics, proceeding from basic computational tools to advanced computational procedures and applications. Emphasis is placed on the numerical techniques and how they form the bases for algorithms. Numerous worked examples in structural mechanics, heat transfer, fluid flow, and biomechanics are given with the numerical codes to illustrate how the methods are applied. A concluding section addresses advanced applications in such areas as finite volume methods and biomechanics.
