	abstract = {The field of multidimensional data structures is large and growing very quickly. Here, for the first time, is a thorough treatment of multidimensional point data, object and image-based representations, intervals and small rectangles, and high-dimensional datasets. The book includes a thorough introduction; a comprehensive survey to spatial and multidimensional data structures and algorithms; and implementation details for the most useful data structures. Along with the hundreds of worked exercises and hundreds of illustrations, the result is an excellent and valuable reference tool for professionals in many areas, including computer graphics, databases, geographic information systems (GIS), game programming, image processing, pattern recognition, solid modeling, similarity retrieval, and VLSI design. Award Winner in 2006 "Best Book" competition in Professional and Scholarly Publishing from the Association of American Publishers. Morgan Kaufmann would like to congratulate Hanan Samet on receiving the UCGIS 2009 Research Award! Read the announcement here: http://www.ucgis.org/summer2009/researchaward.htm * First comprehensive work on multidimensional data structures available, a thorough and authoritative treatment. * An algorithmic rather than mathematical approach, with a liberal use of examples that allows the readers to easily see the possible implementation and use. * Each section includes a large number of exercises and solutions to self-test and confirm the reader{\textquoteright}s understanding and suggest future directions. * Written by a well-known authority in the area of spatial data structures who has made many significant contributions to the field. The author{\textquoteright}s website includes: Spatial Index Demos},

	abstract = {The subject of this book is the efficient solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) that arise when modelling incompressible fluid flow. The material is organized into four groups of two chapters each, covering the Poisson equation (chapters 1 \& 2); the convection-diffucion equation (chapters 3 \& 4); the Stokes equations (chapters 5 \& 6); and the Navier-Stokes equations (chapters 7 \& 8). These equations represent important models within the domain of computational fluid dynamics, but they also arise in many other settings. For each PDE model, there is a chapter concerned with finite element discretization. For each problem and associated solvers there is a description of how to compute along with theoretical analysis which guides the choice of approaches. Illustrative numerical results occur throughout the book, which have been computed with the freely downloadable IFISS software. All numerical results should be reproducible by readers who have access to MATLAB and there is considerable scope for experimentation in the {\textquoteright}computational laboratory{\textquoteright} provided by the software. This book provides an excellent introduction to finite elements, iterative linear solvers and scientific computing aimed at graduates in engineering, numerical analysis, applied mathematics and interdisciplinary scientific computing. Including theoretical problems and practical exercises closely tied with freely downloadable MATLAB software, this book is an ideal teaching and learning resource.},
