About The Author
Blake Ross discovered computers when he was 4 and hasn't had time to eat since then. He began working at Netscape at 14 and cofounded the Firefox project two years later to make the Web easy to use for plain old human beings. He also cofounded the SpreadFirefox community evangelism project, which has changed the face of software marketing and distribution. Blake was featured on the cover of Wired Magazine in early 2005, and he has since been featured in dozens of international publications and television shows to promote computing simplicity. He is on leave from Stanford University, where he is an undergraduate.

Computer Aided Engineering Design

Computer Aided Engineering Design


Computer Aided Engineering Design
This book amalgamates geometric modelling, analysis and optimization, the three important aspects in Computer Aided Engineering Design. While the three subjects are well developed by themselves, a detailed discussion on engineering visualization (transformations and projections) and mathematical background of free form, parametric and piecewise design of curves and surfaces is provided. A topological basis is given when discussing wireframe, boundary representation and constructive solid geometry as solid modelling techniques. Computational geometry, point membership classification and recent trends on modelling using point cloud data in reverse engineering are also covered in brief. The book provides an introductory treatment on linear elastic finite element analysis using some basic elements and optimization methods ranging from root finding single variable to constrained multi-variable approaches. The book is conceived with an intent to be a text for a semester course.

Mac OS X Leopard Just the Steps for Dummies

Mac OS X Leopard Just the Steps for Dummies
Mac users have always been a loyal group, and for good reasons. Since Apple first started producing Macintosh computers in the 1980s, they’ve placed an emphasis on quality, ease-of-use, and stability. Modern Macs running the latest OS X operating system are among the most powerful and dependable personal computers you can buy, and they’re versatile enough to meet virtually any personal or professional need you may have.
Macs are user friendly, but they’re still computers, so you must follow certain steps to complete tasks, like setting up an e-mail account, accessing a Wi-Fi hotspot, transferring music to an iPod, customizing the OS X interface, creating a network, and almost any other computer task you can imagine. This book provides the steps you need to get running quickly, without having to pour through extra narratives or examples that you probably don’t need anyway. And because a picture is worth a thousand words, all the steps in this book are accompanied by figures that walk you visually through each task.
