But joining the Army Air Corps gave him the chance to return to the front line. And when the army launched its attack helicopter programme, Ed was the first to sign up.The Westland Apache AH Mk 1 is the deadliest, most technically advanced helicopter in the world -and only the top two per cent of pilots even make it through the training.In 2007, Ed's Apache squadron was dispatched to Helmand, Afghanistan. Their mission: to protect the men on the ground. So when a marine goes missing in action during an attack on a Taliban stronghold, Ed and his team know they are the Army's only hope of getting him out ... 517 $aApache 676 $a958.1047092 700 $aMacy$b Ed$01434591 702 $aNicholl$b Kati$4oth 702 $aHazeldine$b Sam$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910148898003321 996 $aApache$93651568 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05061nam 22007095 450 001 9910254983703321 005 20200702035836.0 010 $a3-319-29954-9 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-29954-9 035 $a(CKB)3710000000873010 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-29954-9 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6315764 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5588349 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5588349 035 $a(OCoLC)959957370 035 $a(PPN)195512839 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000873010 100 $a20160930d2016 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aConcise Guide to Computing Foundations $eCore Concepts and Select Scientific Applications /$fby Kevin Brewer, Cathy Bareiss 205 $a1st ed. 2016. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (XV, 191 p. 76 illus., 41 illus. in color.) 311 $a3-319-29952-2 327 $aIntroduction to Computational Science -- Types of Visualization and Modeling -- Data Types: Representation, Abstraction, Limitations -- Scientific Data Acquisition -- Procedures: Algorithms and Abstraction -- Solving Equations -- Iterative Solutions -- Solving Sets of Equations -- Procedures: Performance and Complexity -- Self-Defining Data: Compression, XML and Databases -- Searching -- Curve Fitting -- Optimization -- Data Organization and Analysis -- Appendix A: NetLogo -- Appendix B: LabQuest -- Appendix C: GIS. 330 $aThis unique textbook pioneers a new approach to educating the general student about computing to practically address the needs of today?s society. This approach provides an accessible introduction to the key concepts in computer science and how these are applied to support other areas of science, highlighting the important interconnections between the different disciplines. Topics and features: Provides a strong interdisciplinary introduction to computational science Discusses such issues as the use of computer simulations, the limits of precision in a computer, and the amount of work performed by software to complete a task Covers the cross-disciplinary application of data representation, algorithms, self-defining data, and performance complexity Examines the close links between computer science and such scientific and engineering fields as bioinformatics, chemical kinetics, hydrogeological modeling, and mechanics of materials Describes the contributions of computer science to engineering analysis, GIS, flow analysis, solving equations, curve fitting, optimization, and data acquisition Contains review questions, exercises, and discussion prompts throughout the text, together with chapter objectives and an appendix on using LabQuest This classroom-tested and activity-based textbook has been developed for teaching second-semester freshmen and sophomore non-computer science STEM majors, structured around a discovery learning approach. The work is also ideal for self-teaching.
