Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, this book applies Godel's seminal contribution to modern mathematics to the study of the human mind and the development of artificial intelligence.

Great for learning/reviewing math and how it can be applied to biological system modeling. The book is great for 3 reasons. First, it is impossible NOT to understand the material. 2nd, it really encourages the reader to go out & MODEL something with its dozens of inspiring & high-quality exercises & research projects. Finally, it provides insight into biology's qualitative aspects

Presents the materials of music (notes, intervals, and scales); the physical properties of music (frequency, amplitude, duration, and timbre); the perception of music and sound (how we hear); and music composition. There is a second volume that goes into signal processing and music.

This guide does not even assume you can read music. This is for the computer geeks who may not be musicians. See also "Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Composition" by the same author.

A reference work on the physics of musical instruments. No psychoacoustics & the math is not for the faint of heart.

Actually entitled "Schaum's Outline on the Theory and Problems of Acoustics", Shows electric circuit modeling of acoustic devices, so it is good for understanding/modeling microphones.

As good as any college textbook on physics at a fraction of the cost.

"One of the first books showing the range of applets that Java was capable of. Shows many game and graphical effects all possible in Java in 1996. I never cared for the title, but the content was impressive."

An excellent & hard to find book from 1975. Many excellent schematics & an excellent guide for the person designing their first audio effects box. Most basic audio effects theory & applications are discussed with at least 1 schematic for every type of effect. Explanations are very complete, making the book good for novices to experts.

EM text has everything in it, including a review of vectors & calculus plus answers to all problems. A new chapter introducing numerical methods introduces the finite element method.

This is a very basic book on DSP answering many of the "Why bother?" and "Why is it done this way?" questions. The big plus is it shows you how to build a DSP system in real hardware using a microprocessor, the 68C12.

Written in 1989, it still covers all aspects of electronics in a very accessible style.

Very interesting book with just about everything you'd ever want to know about digital video algorithms.

Inexpensive and much clearer than expensive books on the same subject. Plus there are plenty of examples coded up in Java. You need to know your college level physics first before you can understand these approximations, though.

Some good ideas for some animations with the math behind them. Explores soap bubbles, celtic knotwork, the shape of lightning, camera techniques, turning sounds into shapes & more.

A basic text on computer vision that includes all of the mathematics. Good sections on recognition of various objects.

The best book for image processing and its algorithms and mathematics.

Lyon's exposition is poor, but the code is great. It's a treasure chest of multimedia code in Java. The CD is the best part of the book.

Your guided tour to this fascinating field. Has many algorithms on all aspects of the subject, including the math that supports the subject.

Long out of print, does a better job explaining dynamics with many good worked examples as compared to its high-priced competitors. Clear notation with many figures to help explain concepts, and there are problems at the end of each chapter with answers to even problems in the back of the book. If you learn best by reading short passages accompanied by worked-out examples, this book is for you.
