Quantum Computation presents the mathematics of quantum computation. The purpose is to introduce the topic of quantum computing to students in computer science, physics and mathematics who have no prior knowledge of this field. The book is written in two parts. The primary mathematical topics required for an initial understanding of quantum computation are dealt with in Part I: sets, functions, complex numbers and other relevant mathematical structures from linear and abstract algebra. Topics are illustrated with examples focussing on the quantum computational aspects which will follow in more detail in Part II. Part II discusses quantum information, quantum measurement and quantum algorithms. These topics provide foundations upon which more advanced topics may be approached with confidence. Features A more accessible approach than most competitor texts, which move into advanced, research-level topics too quickly for today's students. Part I is comprehensive in providing all necessary mathematical underpinning, particularly for those who need more opportunity to develop their mathematical competence. More confident students may move directly to Part II and dip back into Part I as a reference. Ideal for use as an introductory text for courses in quantum computing. Fully worked examples illustrate the application of mathematical techniques. Exercises throughout develop concepts and enhance understanding. End-of-chapter exercises offer more practice in developing a secure foundation.

This volume collects the papers accepted for presentation at the 11th IMA Conference on the Mathematics of Surfaces, held at Loughborough University, 5th-7th September 2005. As with all earlier conferences in the series, contri- tors to this volume comefrom manycountries. The paperspresented herere?ect the interest in a subject of relevance to mathematics, engineering,and computer science, especially in domains such as computer-aided design, computer vision, and computer graphics. The papers in the present volume include eight invited papers, as well as a larger number of submitted papers. They cover a range of ideas from - derlying theoretical tools to industrial and medical uses of surfaces.The latter category includes such diverse topics as surfaces in car design, and modelling of teeth, while the former includes papers on Voronoi diagrams, linear systems, estimation of curvatures on meshes, operators on meshes, intersection of sub- vision surfaces, approximate parameterization,condition numbers, Pythagorean hodographs,artifactsinB-splinesurfaces,B' eziersurfacesofminimalenergy,line subdivision, subdivision surfaces, level sets and symmetry, the topology of - gebraic surfaces, curve analysis, interpolation with positivity, and conversion of cyclides to NURBS. Other papers concentrate on particular algorithms arising from applications, such as embedding graphs in manifolds, recoveryof 3D shape from shading, ?nding optimal feedrates for machining, detection of creases in range data, and ?lling holes in range data. We would like to thank all those who attended the conference and helped to make it a success.
