The purpose of this book is to help anyone involved in small-scale geophys-
ical surveys. It is not a textbook in the traditional sense, in that it is designed
for use in the field and concerns itself with practical matters – with the-
ory taking second place. Where theory determines field practice ...
Control Systems Engineering is an exciting and challenging field and is a
multidisciplinary subject. This book is designed and organized around the concepts of control
systems engineering using MATLAB, as they have been developed in the frequency and time
domain for an introductory undergraduate or ...
My association with the theory of controls in continuous time started during my studies at
the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, in 1974 as an undergraduate student
in the Controls and Power program. The initial introduction by Professors Kesavamurthy,
Y. P. Singh, and Rajagopalan la ...
This reference design describes the design of a 3-phase AC induction
vector control drive with position encoder coupled to the motor shaft. It
is based on Motorola’s DSP56F805 dedicated motor control device.
AC induction motors, which contain a cage, are very popular in variable
speed drives. They ...
This book is an outgrowth of a course developed at Stanford University over
the past five years. It is suitable as a self-contained textbook for second-level
undergraduates or for first-level graduate students in almost every field that
employs quantit ...
Machine learning is a broad and fascinating field. Even
today, machine learning technology runs a substantial part of your
life, often without you knowing it. Any plausible approach to artifi-
cial intelligence must involve learning, at some level, if for no other
reason than it’s hard to call a sy ...
The past decade has seen an explosion of machine learning research and appli-
cations; especially, deep learning methods have enabled key advances in many
applicationdomains,suchas computervision,speechprocessing,andgameplaying.
However, the performance of many machine learning methods is very sensi ...
Pattern recognition has its origins in engineering, whereas machine learning grew
out of computer science. However, these activities can be viewed as two facets of
the same field, and together they have undergone substantial development over the
past ten years. In particular, Bayesian methods have g ...
This book is intended to be a general introduction to neural networks for those with a computer
architecture, circuits, or systems background. In the introduction (Chapter 1), we define key vo-
cabulary, recap the history and evolution of the techniques, and for make the case for additional
hardware ...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a big field, and this is a big book. We have tried to explore the
full breadth of the field, which encompasses logic, probability, and continuous mathematics;
perception, reasoning, learning, and action; and everything from microelectronic devices to
robotic planetary ...
