Essential concepts of programming language design and implementation are explained and illustrated in the context of the object-oriented programming language (OOPL) paradigm. Written with the upper-level undergraduate student in mind, the text begins with an introductory chapter that summarizes the essential features of an OOPL, then widens the discussion to categorize the other major paradigms, introduce the important issues, and define the essential terms. After a brief second chapter on event-driven programming (EDP), subsequent chapters are built around case studies in each of the languages Smalltalk, C++, Java, C#, and Python. Included in each case study is a discussion of the accompanying libraries, including the essential container classes. For each language, one important event-driven library is singled out and studied. Sufficient information is given so that students can complete an event-driven project in any of the given languages. After completing the course the student should have a solid set of skills in each language the instructor chooses to cover, a comprehensive overview of how these languages relate to each other, and an appreciation of the major issues in OOPL design.Key Features:*Provides essential coverage of Smalltalk origins, syntax, and semantics, a valuable asset for students wanting to understand the hybrid Objective C language *Provides detailed case studies of Smalltalk, Java, C++, C#, and Python and features a side-by-side development of the Java and C++ languages--highlighting their similarities and differences*Sets the discussion in a historical framework, tracing the roots of the OOPLs back to Simula 67.*Provides broad-based coverage of all languages, imparting essential skills as well as an appreciation for each language's design philosophy*Includes chapter summary, review questions, chapter exercises, an appendix with event-driven projects, and instructor resources

COMSOL5 Multiphysics(R) is one of the most valuable software modeling tools for engineers and scientists. This book, an updated edition of the previously published, COMSOL for Engineers, covers COMSOL5 which now includes a revolutionary tool, the Application Builder. This component enables users to build apps based on COMSOL models that can be run on almost any operating system (Windows, MAC, mobile/iOS, etc.). Designed for engineers from various disciplines, the book introduces multiphysics modeling techniques and examples accompanied by practical applications using COMSOL5.x. The main objective is to introduce readers to use COMSOL as an engineering tool for modeling, by solving examples that could become a guide for modeling similar or more complicated problems. The book provides a collection of examples and modeling guidelines through which readers can build their own models. The mathematical fundamentals, engineering principles, and design criteria are presented as integral parts of the examples. At the end of chapters are references that contain more in-depth physics, technical information, and data; these are referred to throughout the book and used in the examples. COMSOL5 for Engineers could be used to complement another text that provides background training in engineering computations and methods. Exercises are provided at the end of the text for use in adoption situations.Features:*Expands the Finite Element Method (FEM) theory and adds more examples from the original edition*Outlines the new features in COMSOL5, the graphical user interface (GUI), and how to build a COMSOL app for models*Includes apps for selected model examples-with parameterization of these models *Features new and modified, solved model examples, in addition to the models provided in the original edition*Companion disc with executable copies of each model and their related animationseBook Customers: Companion files are available for downloading with order number/proof of purchase by writing to the publisher at info@merclearning.com.
