The Multiplayer Classroom Game Plans

The Multiplayer Classroom Game Plans

The Multiplayer Classroom: Game Plans is a companion to The Multiplayer Classroom: Designing Coursework as a Game now in its second edition from CRC Press. This book covers four multiplayer classroom projects played in the real world in real time to teach and entertain. They were funded by grants or institutions collaborations between Lee Sheldon as writer/designer and subject matter experts in various fields. They are written to be accessible to anyone-designer educator or layperson-interested in game-based learning. The subjects are increasingly relevant in this day and age: physical fitness Mandarin cybersecurity and especially an online class exploring culture and identity on the internet that is unlike any online class you have ever seen. Read the annotated often-suspenseful stories of how each game with its unique challenges thrills and spills was built. Lee Sheldon began his writing career in television as a writer-producer eventually writing more than 200 shows ranging from Charlie’s Angels (writer) to Edge of Night (head writer) to Star Trek: The Next Generation (writer-producer). Having written and designed more than forty commercial and applied video games Lee spearheaded the first full writing for games concentration in North America at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the second writing concentration at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He is a regular lecturer and consultant on game design and writing in the United States and abroad. His most recent commercial game the award-winning The Lion’s Song is currently on Steam. For the past two years he consulted on an escape room in a box funded by NASA that gives visitors to hundreds of science museums and planetariums the opportunity to play colonizers on the moon. He is currently writing his second mystery novel. | The Multiplayer Classroom Game Plans

Applied Mathematics in Hydrogeology

Applied Mathematics in Hydrogeology

As introduced in Dr. Lee's 10-week class Applied Mathematics in Hydrogeology is written for professionals and graduate students who have a keen interest in the application of mathematics in hydrogeology. Its first seven chapters cover analytical solutions for problems commonly encountered in the study of quantitative hydrogeology while the final three chapters focus on solving linear simultaneous equations finite element analysis and inversion for parameter determination. Dr. Lee provides various equation-solving methods that are of interest to hydrogeologists geophysicists soil scientists and civil engineers as well as applied physicists and mathematicians. In the classroom this same information will help students realize how familiar equations in hydrogeology are derived-an important step toward development of a student's own mathematical models. Unlike other applied mathematics books that are structured according to systematic methodology Applied Mathematics in Hydrogeology emphasizes equation-solving methods according to topics. Hydrogeological problems and governing differential equations are introduced including hydraulic responses to pumping in confined and unconfined aquifers as well as transport of heat and solute in flowing groundwater.

Modern Cryptography with Proof Techniques and Implementations

Modern Cryptography with Proof Techniques and Implementations

Proof techniques in cryptography are very difficult to understand even for students or researchers who major in cryptography. In addition in contrast to the excessive emphases on the security proofs of the cryptographic schemes practical aspects of them have received comparatively less attention. This book addresses these two issues by providing detailed structured proofs and demonstrating examples applications and implementations of the schemes so that students and practitioners may obtain a practical view of the schemes. Seong Oun Hwang is a professor in the Department of Computer Engineering and director of Artificial Intelligence Security Research Center Gachon University Korea. He received the Ph. D. degree in computer science from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) Korea. His research interests include cryptography cybersecurity networks and machine learning. Intae Kim is an associate research fellow at the Institute of Cybersecurity and Cryptology University of Wollongong Australia. He received the Ph. D. degree in electronics and computer engineering from Hongik University Korea. His research interests include cryptography cybersecurity and networks. Wai Kong Lee is an assistant professor in UTAR (University Tunku Abdul Rahman) Malaysia. He received the Ph. D. degree in engineering from UTAR Malaysia. In between 2009 – 2012 he served as an R&D engineer in several multinational companies including Agilent Technologies (now known as Keysight) in Malaysia. His research interests include cryptography engineering GPU computing numerical algorithms Internet of Things (IoT) and energy harvesting. | Modern Cryptography with Proof Techniques and Implementations
