Type: Article The linear least-squares problem in statistics is usually solved by finding the Cholesky factor of the matrix of normal equations. In certain applications, one wants to solve several related problems formed by removing and/or adding data. In this ... May 14 2012 Design of modern heuristics: principles and application Rothlauf F.,  Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2011. 278 pp. Type: Book (978-3-540729-61-7) To use heuristic approaches in problem solving, one needs a good understanding of the problem to be solved. Particular aspects of the problem should be used when designing a heuristic solver. This book represents the best guide--according to ... May 7 2012 The effect of simulation games on the learning of computational problem solving Liu C., Cheng Y., Huang C.  Computers & Education 57(3): 1907-1918, 2011. Type: Article, Reviews: (3 of 3) Problem solving requires comprehension and a strategic plan for designing and testing a solution. Simulation games might promote learning and enhance computational problem-solving skills. The design and realization of effective simulation... Apr 30 2012 Current challenges in patent information retrieval Lupu M., Mayer K., Tait J., Trippe A.,  Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2011. 431 pp. Type: Book (978-3-642192-30-2) In the last few decades, the number of patents registered has increased very rapidly.
