Books about Schiesser from Amazon.com

This is the definitive guide to systems management for every IT professional with responsibility for maintaining the stability and responsiveness of IT production environments. Rich Schiesser, one of the world's most experienced IT infrastructure managers, covers every systems management discipline, every type of IT environment, and all three elements of success: technology, processes, and people. Schiesser begins by explaining how each key discipline of systems management has evolved, and how they can be integrated to maximize business value in mainframe, client/server, desktop, and Web-enabled IT environments. He then focuses on the key "people-related" aspects of systems management, showing how to gain executive support, organize and staff for systems management, and deliver world-class customer service. Next, he moves on to the 12 key processes involved in systems management, including production acceptance, change management, problem management, storage and network management, capacity planning, security, disaster recovery, and many others. Finally, Schiesser shows how to leverage technology to develop, automate, evaluate, and integrate processes, and offers effective new techniques for Web and client/server environments..

Computational techniques have become indispensable tools in solving complex problems in transport phenomena. This book provides a clear, user-oriented introduction to the subject of computational transport phenomena. Each self-contained chapter includes a detailed worked example and a discussion of the problem system equations. Also included are the numerical methods used; computer code for the solution of the problem system equations; discussion of the numerical solution with emphasis on physical interpretation; and, when appropriate, a comparison of the numerical solution with an analytical solution or a discussion of how the numerical solution goes beyond what can be done analytically, especially for nonlinear problems. Intended for students and a broad range of scientists and engineers, the book includes computer code written in transportable Fortran so the reader can produce the numerical solutions and then extend them to other cases..

Scientists and engineers attempting to solve complex problems require efficient, effective ways of applying numerical methods to ODEs and PDEs. They need a resource that enables fast access to library routines in their choice of a programming language.Ordinary and Partial Differential Equation Routines in C, C++, Fortran, Java, Maple, and MATLAB provides a set of ODE/PDE integration routines in the six most widely used languages in science and engineering, enabling scientists and engineers to apply ODE/PDE analysis toward solving complex problems.This text concisely reviews integration algorithms, then analyzes the widely used Runge Kutta method ( since hyphenation is used here, I added it below; hyphenation could also be dropped since it is not used in the book). It first presents a complete code before discussing its components in detail, focusing on integration concepts such as error monitoring and control. The format allows you to understand the basics of ODE/PDE integration, then calculate sample numerical solutions within your targeted programming language. The applications discussed can be used as templates for the development of a spectrum of new applications and associated codes..

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs), differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs) are among the forms of mathematics most widely used in science and engineering. Each of these equation types is a focal point for international collaboration and research. This book contains papers by recognized numerical analysts who have made important contributions to the solution of differential systems in the context of realistic applications, and who now report the latest results of their work in numerical methods and software for ODEs/DAEs/PDEs and the use of these numerical methods in realistic scientific and engineering applications..
