This book presents a comprehensive exploration of the fast multipole Boundary Element Method (BEM), integrating classical BEM theories with the innovative fast multipole technique. It serves as a foundational resource for understanding the advancements in BEM formulations, making complex computations more efficient. Ideal for researchers and practitioners, it bridges the gap between traditional methodologies and modern computational strategies in boundary element analysis.

The book introduces the fast multipole boundary element method (BEM), merging traditional BEM formulations with advanced computational techniques. It provides a comprehensive overview of classical theory while demonstrating how the fast multipole method enhances efficiency in solving boundary value problems. This pioneering work serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners looking to improve their understanding and application of BEM in various engineering and scientific fields.

Reading in a Second Language offers a comprehensive survey of the phenomenon and process of reading in a second language, graduate towards graduate and upper-level undergraduate students in second language acquisition, psycholinguistics, and applied psychology courses. The book explores reading processes from a number of complementary standpoints, integrating perspectives, and cognitive neuroscience. The first half examines major factors in second language reading: types of scripts, the cognitive and neural substrates of reading, metalinguistic awareness, word recognition, language transfer, and lexical knowledge. The second part of the book discusses the social and educational contexts in which reading development occurs, including issues related to pedagogy, the use of technology in the classroom, reading disorders, and policy making. Reading in a Second Language provides students with a full, logically organized overview of the primary factors that shape reading development and processes in a second language.
