Are some areas of fast Fourier transforms still unclear to you? Do the notation and vocabulary seem inconsistent? Does your knowledge of their algorithmic aspects feel incomplete? The fast Fourier transform represents one of the most important advancements in scientific and engineering computing. Until now, however, treatments have been either brief, cryptic, intimidating, or not published in the open literature. Inside the FFT Black Box brings the numerous and varied ideas together in a common notational framework, clarifying vague FFT concepts.Examples and diagrams explain algorithms completely, with consistent notation. This approach connects the algorithms explicitly to the underlying mathematics. Reviews and explanations of FFT ideas taken from engineering, mathematics, and computer science journals teach the computational techniques relevant to FFT. Two appendices familiarize readers with the design and analysis of computer algorithms, as well.This volume employs a unified and systematic approach to FFT. It closes the gap between brief textbook introductions and intimidating treatments in the FFT literature. Inside the FFT Black Box provides an up-to-date, self-contained guide for learning the FFT and the multitude of ideas and computing techniques it employs.

This book looks at graph theory as it connects to linear algebra, parallel computing, data structures, geometry, and both numerical and discrete algorithms. This book will be a resource for the researcher or advanced student of either graphs or sparse matrices; it will be useful to mathematicians, numerical analysis and theoretical computer scientists alike.

After the death of Syria’s President Hafiz al-Asad inmid-2000, hopes were high that his son and successor, Bashar, might succeed inreforming a system that had become a byword for economic stagnation and thepitiless repression of dissent. For six months, and for the first time indecades, Syrians were able to speak freely, without fear of the hated secretpolice. Political discussion groups mushroomed. The press started carryingarticles openly demanding democracy, and petitions were circulated insistingthat democracy was essential not only for its own sake but as a condition fordesperately needed investment and economic expansion.Based on the testimony of key players, Syria: Neither Bread Nor Freedom recounts the drama of the ‘DamascusSpring’ and its repression, and reveals what happens in a state like Syria tothe institutions that occupy the political space between government and governed. From political parties to parliament, from the media to the judicial system anduniversities, this book lifts the veil of rhetoric and propaganda to reveal asystem so demoralized and corrupt that power is wielded for no purpose butpower itself. This is Bashar al-Asad’s legacy and the system which, given time,he hopes to reform.

Jordan has played a bigger role in Middle Eastern affairs than its size and economy might warrant, due to its huge Palestinian population, its strategic location between Israel, the West Bank, Syria and Iraq, and its uniquely close relationship with successive British and US administrations. Drawing on numerous visits to the country and interviews with a diversity of people from King Abdullah down, Alan George describes how its reasonably stable monarchical system, unlike that in most Arab countries, has allowed the halting development of civil society and maintained control through the skilful co-option of opponents rather than heavy-handed reliance on its secret police. What is daily life like? How do its parliamentary system and political parties work? How free are the media? What are the future prospects of this buffer 'state without a nation'?
