Announcements for Claerbout's free books


21/2/08
PVI and FGDP gain more screen friendly forms. Book features tabulated on index page. Goal to scan Russian and Chinese versions.
21/1/08
Free figures (all 992 of them) from all my books (since 1976!), I now lay out for you to copy. Enjoy!
14/7/06
A missing page in IEI has been restored. It is page 289. Thanks to Charlie Fortner finding this.
2/06
I rebuild GEE. Several new figures and examples resulting from work with Antoine Guitton.
9/05
I rebuild BEI with a few new examples.
3/23/04
I rebuild the newly revised IMAGE ESTIMATION BY EXAMPLE pdf file (50 Mb!). About 30 pages of revisions and new examples, especially Madagascar and Galilee, analytic solutions for Vesuvius.
3/23/04
I build a PDF file for the old book Earth Soundings Analysis: Processing versus Inversion.
3/1/01
I rebuild the Waves lectures. (Some of the figures did not convert properly from ps to gif.)
12/12/00
I rebuild BEI. About 15% of it has changed since late '97 version. I rebuild GEE. About 20% of it has changed since previous version. Some illustrations are "blink movies" implemented in Javascript for the html versions of the books.
08/20/99-
I am unable to work for about a year because of tragedy in my life.
4/7/99
An INDEX for all books! More correctly, it is a search engine. This makes it MUCH easier for people to find things. Enjoy! (Thanks to Sergey Fomel.)
11/16/98
Scanned version of the original IEI is now available as .pdf files. The electronic revision was only about 80% completed and never proofed or edited.
11/9/98
Wrote some career advice for students.
10/20/98
Rebuilt PVI after repairing some software decay that had set in on upgrading to latex2e, ratfor90, make rules, and postscript. Also, some NR figures were restored from CD-ROM and two missing chapters reinstalled.
4/1/98
GEM is renamed GEE, (Geophysical Estimation by Example). Sergey Fomel's Fortran 90 library now computes (almost) all illustrations. Helix based code now used in all areas.
1/20/98
Book mailing list now confidential (to frustrate spammers).
12/20/97
I integrated my helix concepts with GEM in preparation for winter '97-'98 class. http://sep.stanford.edu/sep/prof/gee/hlx/paper_html/node1.html
10/9/97
Sergey Fomel and Hector Urdaneta make all my books available in html using latex2html.
1/7/97
Released first version of GEM (Geophysics Exploration Mapping). It is an extensive revision of lecture notes formerly entitled ``Three Dimensional Filtering''. Added .dvi.gz files for quicker previewing.
3/8/96
Books now available in Europe at Edinburgh mirror.
1/31/96
My first book, FGDP Chapters 1-9 of the original 11, is newly available on the web. Hooray!
1/31/96
My second book, IEI, was rebuilt with about 50 newly rebuilt figures replacing the earlier scanned figures.
1/31/96
I organized two kinds of compression for all books. You can now choose from more file types.
8/8/95
Troubles? See downloading tips.
4/24/95
I put DVI files on web for BEI and IEI. These are much smaller but have no figures. UNIX people who have xdvi might like DVI files for previewing.
3/7/95
I compressed all the files so transmission should be 3-6 times faster. I find Mosaic decompresses properly but Netscape does not. What you get depends not on me, but who configured your browser and what they included. Good luck!
2/14/95
Another of my books, Basic Earth Imaging (BEI) with Jim Black, 180 pages, is now available for download.
10/94
Thanks to help from Martin Karrenbach, I open for business with free books, TDF and PVI.
