Frei Otto: Forschen, Bauen, Inspirieren = A Life of Research, Construction and Inspiration - DETAIL Special
Provides insights on the key aspects of his work. At its heart was the search for natural designs and an exploration of form-finding and self-development processes. As such he created a whole universe of ideas using membrane, net and convertible roofs with umbrellas, grid shells, and pneumatic structures. The book highlights his key works and how his ideas were adopted throughout the world. Read more...
Cours doptique : Simulations et exercices résolus avec Maple, Matlab, Mathematica, Mathcad = Optics course: Simulations and exercises solved with Maple, Matlab, Mathematica, Mathcad
Intended for students at the L and M levels of the university as well as for engineers wishing to study certain subjects in greater depth. It covers all the themes of a traditional optics course, from geometric optics to holography, interference, diffraction, coherence and the use of the Fourier transform for spectroscopy. The presentation is developed from mathematical models deriving from typical situations and fundamental examples which are presented in the form of computer programs ready to be implemented. These programs are also available on the CD accompanying the book, for each of the following scientific programming environments: Matlab, Maple, Mathematica and Mathcad. Thus, the reader will be able to modify the parameters of the examples proposed to adapt them to new situations.
