Linear algebra and probability for computer science applications
Assuming as little mathematical background as possible, this classroom-tested text focuses on mathematical techniques that are most relevant to computer scientists. It covers applications from computer graphics, web search, machine learning, cryptography, and a host of other computer science areas. After an introductory chapter on MATLAB, the text is divided into two sections, with the first focusing on linear algebra and the second discussing probability. MATLAB functions, MATLAB programming assignments, and problems are included in each chapter. MATLAB code is available on the author's website.

Meaning, Expression and Thought
This philosophical treatise on the foundations of semantics is a systematic effort to clarify, deepen and defend the classical doctrine that words are conventional signs of mental states, principally thoughts and ideas, and that meaning consists in their expression. This expression theory of meaning is developed by carrying out the Gricean programme, explaining what it is for words to have meaning in terms of speaker meaning, and what it is for a speaker to mean something in terms of intention. But Grice's own formulations are rejected and alternatives developed. The foundations of the expression theory are explored at length, and the author develops the theory of thought as a fundamental cognitive phenomenon distinct from belief and desire, argues for the thesis that thoughts have parts, and identifies ideas or concepts with parts of thoughts. This book will appeal to students and professionals interested in the philosophy of language.

High-Order Methods for Incompressible Fluid Flow
High-order numerical methods provide an efficient approach to simulating many physical problems. This book considers the range of mathematical, engineering, and computer science topics that form the foundation of high-order numerical methods for the simulation of incompressible fluid flows in complex domains. Introductory chapters present high-order spatial and temporal discretizations for one-dimensional problems. These are extended to multiple space dimensions with a detailed discussion of tensor-product forms, multi-domain methods, and preconditioners for iterative solution techniques. Numerous discretizations of the steady and unsteady Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations are presented, with particular attention given to enforcement of incompressibility. Advanced discretizations, implementation issues, and parallel and vector performance are considered in the closing sections. Numerous examples are provided throughout to illustrate the capabilities of high-order methods in actual applications. Computer scientists, engineers and applied mathematicians interested in developing software for solving flow problems will find this book a valuable reference.

Still up on a pedestal
There's a journalistic maxim that you don't interview your heroes. It's said they'll only disappoint you - and you'll want nothing more to do with their books or CDs or films or buildings or sporting memorabilia or theories about quantum physics.
