Learn how to solve challenging machine learning problems with TensorFlow, Google’s revolutionary new software library for deep learning. If you have some background in basic linear algebra and calculus, this practical book introduces machine-learning fundamentals by showing you how to design systems capable of detecting objects...
Geometric algebra is a powerful and practical framework for the representation and solution of geometrical problems. We believe it to be eminently suitable to those subfields of computer science in which such issues occur: computer graphics, robotics, and computer vision.We wrote this book to explain the basic structure of geometric algebra, and to...
In the half dozen years or so since the first publication of Introductory Nuclear Physics, there have been several new developments and changes in the emphasis in the field. This, together with the enthusiastic feedback from colleagues and students, makes it imperative to publish a new edition.
To solve performance problems in modern computing infrastructures, often comprising thousands of servers running hundreds of applications, spanning multiple tiers, you need tools that go beyond mere reporting. You need tools that enable performance analysis of application workflow across the entire enterprise. That's what PDQ (Pretty Damn...
With ever increasing frequency, financial studies in business are acquiring greater importance in the field of management as a consequence of the complexity of the problems arising in present day society. The old treaties that included certain aspects on the raising and placing of payment means have been relegated to history, leaving the way...
Ideal for lecture-format courses taught at the post-secondary level, ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA, Ninth Edition, makes algebra accessible and engaging. Author Charles "Pat" McKeague's passion for teaching mathematics is apparent on every page. With many years of experience teaching mathematics, he knows how to write in a way that you...
The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to Hopf algebras. This
book differs from other texts in that Hopf algebras are developed from notions of
topological spaces, sheaves, and representable functors. This approach has certain
pedagogical advantages, the foremost being that algebraic geometry and category
theory...
Focusing on an approach of solving rigorous problems and learning how to prove, this volume is concentrated on two specific content themes, elementary number theory and algebraic polynomials. The benefit to readers who are moving from calculus to more abstract mathematics is to acquire the ability to understand proofs through...
What you hold in your hand or—this is the 21st century—view on screen
shouldn’t exist.
Let me explain. Mathematics is often taught by presenting students with a
broad concept, like linear independence, and then a set of tools for identifying,
using, or creating it. More rigorous courses might...
Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers presents an introduction to the dynamics and thermodynamics of flowing ice masses on Earth. Based on an outline of general continuum mechanics, the different initial-boundary-value problems for the flow of ice sheets, ice shelves, ice caps and glaciers are systematically derived. Special emphasis is put on...
This book presents contributions from a global selection of experts in the field. This useful text offers new insights and solutions for the development of theorems, algorithms and advanced methods for real-time applications across a range of disciplines. Written in an accessible style, the discussion of all applications is enhanced by the...
This book is about how to create interactive animations for the web using computer code and math. But
don't worry if you can't remember anything from your high school algebra class, you'll just need a minimal
understanding to get started. The purpose of this book is to give you the tools to create and express your...
