Instrument Engineers' Handbook,Third Edition: Process Control Feature

For nearly thirty years, the Instrument Engineers' Handbook has been the most widely-used reference in its field. Changes in the profession since 1981 necessitate these updated editions, which include new sections covering the developments of the last decade and a new international perspective (the books have not been available before outside the USA). The two volumes cover all topics process control and instrument engineers use in their everyday work.


The two volumes comprise nearly 3000 pages, with thousands of illustrations. Completely revised for the first time since the early 80s, they cover all the latest advances in control hardware, transmitters, displays, DCS, PLC and computer systems. The books provide the tools needed to make sophisticated equipment selection and solve operating problems quickly. There are sections devoted to 500 major topics. There are over 100 new contributors (900 rejected). The Instrument Engineers' Handbook takes a practical and down-to-earth approach and covers all the topics used by process control and instrument engineers in their everyday work, providing quick access to specific information.

Introduction to C++ for Financial Engineers: An Object-Oriented Approach (The Wiley Finance Series) Feature

This book introduces the reader to the C++ programming language and how to use it to write applications in quantitative finance (QF) and related areas. No previous knowledge of C or C++ is required. - experience with VBA, Matlab or other programming language is sufficient. The book adopts an incremental approach; starting from basic principles then moving on to advanced complex techniques and then to real-life applications in financial engineering. There are five major parts in the book:

• C++ fundamentals and object-oriented thinking in QF
• Advanced object-oriented features such as inheritance and polymorphism
• Template programming and the Standard Template Library (STL)
• An introduction to GOF design patterns and their applications in QF Applications

The kinds of applications include binomial and trinomial methods, Monte Carlo simulation, advanced trees, partial differential equations and finite difference methods.

This book contains a CD with all source code and many useful C++ classes that you can use in your own applications. Examples, test cases and applications are directly relevant to QF.

This book is the perfect companion to Daniel J. Duffy’s book Financial Instrument Pricing using C++ (Wiley 2004, 0470855096 / 9780470021620)

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

Definitions for Hardware and Software Safety Engineers Feature

Compiled by an experienced practitioner in the field, this book contains definitions of the major terms used in Reliability Engineering and Software Assessment. Approximately 2000 definitions have been carefully selected from standards and literature published by leading institutions such as the IEEE and IEC. Alternative definitions of the same term are given where relevant, enabling the reader to compare and contrast, thereby giving useful insights into different aspects of the same term. There is also extensive cross-referencing to make the book easy to use and practical.
This book will provide an invaluable reference book for anyone working in the fields of reliability engineering or software assessment but should be of particular interest to industrial researchers and practitioners, members of standards committees, reliability consultants, students on Software Quality courses, technical authors and sub-editors.
