The provided text is a list of book reviews and summaries for various publications, primarily focusing on computational physics, oceanography, and acoustics. Key highlights include:
1. **Computational Ocean Acoustics** by F. B. Jensen et al.: This book covers the theoretical background and numerical methods needed to model the real ocean environment, including wave-propagation theory, ray methods, and wavenumber integration techniques.
2. **Oceanography and Acoustics: Prediction and Propagation Models** edited by Allan R. Robinson and Ding Lee: This collection of papers provides an overview of recent research progress in linking models predicting ocean dynamics and those describing acoustical propagation in the ocean.
3. **Stereo Computer Graphics and Other True 3D Technologies** edited by David F. McAllister: This book compiles contributions on "true 3D" visualization techniques, focusing on binocular disparity and various methods for creating 3D effects.
4. **Books Received**: A list of recently published books in areas such as neural networks, quantum mechanics, dynamic modeling, and scientific visualization, providing brief descriptions and reviews.
These reviews and summaries offer insights into the state of research and educational materials in computational physics and related fields, highlighting key topics and methodologies.The provided text is a list of book reviews and summaries for various publications, primarily focusing on computational physics, oceanography, and acoustics.
