Some people look at art with their emotion!. And in some paintings the surface structure is so important that we can look at them with our fingertips. In abstract expressionism, the hand is the direct source of the style - to look at a painting is to re - experience its creation. For many artists today the idea is more important than the way it is visualized. Why should we not be able to see with our ears and hear with our eyes?

The history, achievements, and enduring legacies of Greek and Roman antiquity come to life in the pages of this comprehensive and beautifully illustrated volume. Following a format similar to that of The Oxford Illustrated History of Britain, the book brings together the work of thirty outstanding authorities and organizes their contributions into three main sections. The first section covers Greece from the eighth to the fourth centuries B.C., a period unparalleled in history for its brilliance in literature, philosophy, and the visual arts. The second section deals with the Hellinization of the Middle East by the monarchies established in the areas conquered by Alexander the Great, the growth of Rome, and the impact of the two cultures on one another. The third section covers the foundation of the Roman Empire by Augustus and its consolidation in the first two centuries A.D. A short concluding essay discusses certain aspects of the later Empire and its influence on Western civilization, notably through the adoption of Christianity. Within each section, chapters dealing with political and social history alternate with chapters on literature, philosophy, and the arts. Maps and chronological charts--not to mention more than 250 illustrations, including sixteen in color--enrich the basic text, along with bibliographies and a full index.

Color Theory and Modeling for Computer Graphics, Visualization, and Multimedia Applications is suitable as a secondary text for a graduate-level course on computer graphics, computer imaging, or multimedia computing and as a reference for researchers and practitioners developing computer graphics and multimedia applications.

Features detailed information on database programming, including ODBC and client/server technology. Covers hot new Internet and object-oriented programming features. Teaches beginning- and intermediate-level programmers how to write for the Microsoft Windows operating system using the Visual Basic programming environment.If you have chosen Visual Basic as your programming tool, let me be the first to congratulate you. Visual Basic is by far the most popular programming tool in history, and there are a lot of good reasons for this popularity. When Visual Basic was originally introduced, it was the first development tool that took Windows programming out of the realm of the specialist and brought it to a level where normal, intelligent people could get something useful done. The ideas of drag-and-drop interface design and event-driven programming are almost universal now, but Visual Basic was the first to make them available to the general programmer. There are plenty of Visual Basic imitators now, and some of them are quite good. In my opinion—and I am not alone—Visual Basic is still the leader of the pack when it comes to Windows development tools. You have made a wise choice.

Welcome to Visual C++. Over the next 21 days, you will learn how to use the features that Microsoft has built into its C++ development environment to enable you to create very advanced applications for the Windows and NT platforms. When Microsoft's developers first came up with the idea behind Visual C++, they decided to take their world-class C++ compiler and create a development environment and set of tools that would enable developers to create Windows applications with a level of ease and speed that was unheard of among C++ development environments. Since that first version, Microsoft has continued to improve the tools that are a part of Visual C++ to make it even easier to create Windows applications. As Microsoft has introduced new technologies into the Windows platforms, it has also introduced tools into the Visual C++ suite to make it easy to integrate these new technologies into your applications.

Quantum chemistry forms the basis of molecular modeling, a tool widely used to obtain important chemical information and visual images of molecular systems. Recent advances in computing have resulted in considerable developments in molecular modeling, and these developments have led to significant achievements in the design and synthesis of drugs and catalysts. This comprehensive text provides upper-level undergraduates and graduate students with an introduction to the implementation of quantum ideas in molecular modeling, exploring practical applications alongside theoretical explanations. Written in a straightforward and accessible manner, this Handbook of Computational Quantum Chemistry encompasses such topics as the Hartree-Fock method; matrix SCF equations; the implementation of the closed-shell case; and an introduction to molecular integrals that extends to their implementation. Other topics and subtopics include open shells; population analysis; molecular symmetry and symmetry orbital transformations; linear multi-determinant methods; core potentials; time-dependent perturbations; density functional theory; and implementation of the Kohn-Sham equations. The text concludes with helpful suggestions for additional reading.
