My new book “Programming in Parallel with CUDA – A Practical Guide” was born out of the excitement I feel about computing with GPUs. I have always had passion for science and computer programming. I wrote my first program in 1964 for the Cambridge EDSAC II computer using a Fortran like programming language. Since then, […]

Why did I write this book? Certainly there are quite a few mathematicians who could write a better book on bounded gaps. I thought that the series of wonderful breakthroughs deserved to be celebrated with several accounts of the mathematical content of the breakthroughs, so why not! In addition, the style adopted for Equivalents of […]
