Evolution For Dummies (Math & Science)

Buy
Today, most colleges and universities offer evolutionary study as part of their biology curriculums. Evolution For Dummies will track a class in which evolution is taught and give an objective scientific view of the subject. This balanced guide explores the history and future of evolution, explaining the concepts and science behind it, offering case studies that support it, and comparing evolution with rival theories of creation, such as intelligent design. It also will identify the signs of evolution in the world around us and explain how this theory affects our everyday lives and the future to come.

Fascinating case studies highlight evolutionary research in the lab and in the wild

From Darwin to DNA — your objective guide to the key concepts of evolution

Want to get a clear understanding of evolution? This plain-English guide explains what evolution is, how it works, and the ways it affects your life. You'll see how evolution impacts everything from body shape to behavior to choosing a mate, ways we can trace the past evolutionary history of species, and how humans continue to evolve.

Discover:

  • What natural selection is and how it works

  • The evolutionary history of modern humans

  • The evolution of viruses and scientists' fight against them

  • The role of genetics in the evolution of species

Software Testing and Continuous Quality Improvement, Third Edition
Software Testing and Continuous Quality Improvement, Third Edition

Numerous textbooks address software testing in a structured development environment. By “structured” is meant a well-defined development cycle in which discretely defined steps provide measurable outputs at each step. It is assumed that software testing activities are based on clearly defined requirements and software...

The Haskell School of Expression: Learning Functional Programming through Multimedia
The Haskell School of Expression: Learning Functional Programming through Multimedia

Functional programming is a style of programming that emphasizes the use of functions (in contrast to object-oriented programming, which emphasizes the use of objects). It has become popular in recent years because of its simplicity, conciseness, and clarity. This book teaches functional programming as a way of thinking and problem solving,...


Algorithms for Fuzzy Clustering: Methods in c-Means Clustering with Applications (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing)
Algorithms for Fuzzy Clustering: Methods in c-Means Clustering with Applications (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing)
The main subject of this book is the fuzzy c-means proposed by Dunn and Bezdek and their variations including recent studies. A main reason why we concentrate on fuzzy c-means is that most methodology and application studies in fuzzy clustering use fuzzy c-means, and hence fuzzy c-means should be considered to be...
