Freeman and Skapura's Neural Networks is a comprehensive book for research students studying computational models for solving complex problems. The book discusses neural-network architectures and how they can be formed. It helps readers understand how such networks can be setup to solve complex scientific and engineering problems. It also discusses how to simulate neural-network architectures on traditional digital computing systems, giving readers flexibility in troubleshooting and designing a network of their own. The book is an indispensable resource for all students trying to utilize this breakthrough methodology in solving complex problems. About the Authors James A. Freeman is an applications programmer and academician. David M. Skapura is an applications consultant working with Brightware Corporation, developing customized knowledge-based systems and applications. He founded Scient Computing, a small Houston consulting firm specializing in neural-networking applications and research, and was previously working with Loral Space Information Systems, where he studied the applicability of neural networks to NASA's advanced automation requirements. Dr. Skapura serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Houston at Clear Lake.
