Overcoming many challenges, data mining has already established discipline capability in many domains. discusses advances in modern data mining research in today's rapidly growing global and technological...
In recent years, our world has experienced a profound shift and progression in available computing and knowledge sharing innovations. These emerging advancements have developed at a rapid pace, disseminating into and affecting numerous aspects of contemporary society. This has created a pivotal need for an innovative compendium encompassing...
Zed Shaw has perfected the world's best system for learning Python. Follow it and you will succeed-just like the hundreds of thousands of beginners Zed has taught to date! You bring the discipline,...
Leading experts illustrate how sophisticated computational data mining techniques can impact contemporary drug discovery and development
In the era of post-genomic drug development, extracting and applying knowledge from chemical, biological, and clinical data is one of the greatest challenges facing the pharmaceutical industry....
Wallis's book on discrete mathematics is a resource for an introductory course in a subject fundamental to both mathematics and computer science, a course that is expected not only to cover certain specific topics but also to introduce students to important modes of thought specific to each discipline . . . Lower-division undergraduates...
Cost accounting is a dynamic discipline constantly responding to the needs of managers
in a highly competitive and global business world. Managers need cost accounting information
to develop, implement, and evaluate strategy. Managers also need cost accounting
measurements to determine product costs for internal management and...
In this third installment of his classic 'Foundations' trilogy, Michel Serres takes on the history of geometry and mathematics. Even more broadly, Geometry is the beginnings of things and also how these beginnings have shaped how we continue to think philosophically and critically. Serres rejects a traditional history of mathematics...
This book is devoted to reporting innovative and significant progress in fuzzy system engineering. Given the maturation of fuzzy logic, this book is dedicated to exploring the recent breakthroughs in fuzziness and soft computing in favour of intelligent system engineering. This monograph presents novel developments of the fuzzy theory as well as...
When enterprise architects try to explain to people who are not enterprise architects what it is they do for a living, they almost invariably resort to using an analogy with the architecture of buildings, and describe enterprise architecture as a ‘kind of blueprint’. While this analogy may be helpful in conveying a general sense...
This book provides a gentle, software engineering oriented introduction to category theory. Assuming only a minimum of mathematical preparation, this book explores the use of categorical constructions from the point of view of the methods and techniques that have been proposed for the engineering of complex software systems: object-oriented...
R is a high-level language and an environment for data analysis and graphics. The design of R was heavily influenced by two existing languages: Becker, Chambers and Wilks’ S and Sussman’s Scheme. The resulting language is very similar in appearance to S, but the underlying implementation and semantics are derived from Scheme. This...
As more and more businesses around the world adopt enterprise systems, it
becomes increasingly important for students to develop a more process-centric
perspective that refl ects the realities of the modern business environment in
which they will work. Because business operations and enterprise systems are
so tightly...
