Table of Contents:
- Multidimensional data is data that exists and changes in more than one dimension, by time, or spatially, or both, sometimes dynamically
- Think here of tracking hurricane data in order to project the storm's path, for just one example
- As spatial and other multidimensional data structures become increasingly important for the applications in game programming, data mining, bioinformatics, and many other areas--including astronomy, geographic information systems, physics, etc., the need for a comprehensive book on the subject is paramount
- This book is truly a life's work by the author who is clearly the best person for the job
