The Facts on File Geometry Handbook (The Facts on File Science Handbooks)

Facts on File, 2003

Geometry is the study of shape, form, and space, and is of interest for its own sake as well as for its many applications in the sciences and the arts. Geometry is an integral part of mathematics, drawing upon all other areas in its development, and in turn contributing to the development of other parts of mathematics.

Proof Technology and Computation, Volume 200 NATO Science Series: Computer and Systems Sciences (Nato Science)

IOS Press, 2006

Proof technology will become an established field in software engineering. It generally aims at integrating proof processing into industrial design and verifications tools. The origins of this technology lie in the systematic understanding of a fully-fledged, precise notion of proof by mathematics and logics. Using this profound understanding,...

It's Not What You Sign, It's How You Sign It: Politeness in American Sign Language

Gallaudet University Press, 2007

People may not always remember the specifics of a conversation, but they do remember their overall impressions of the other person, as well as how well they felt the conversation proceeded. For example, they may recall whether or not they felt the other person was cooperative, and whether or not the other person was friendly, polite,...

Lie Groups for Pedestrians

Dover Publications, 2002

According to the author of this concise, high-level study, physicists often shy away from group theory, perhaps because they are unsure of which parts of the subject belong to the physicist and which belong to the mathematician. However, it is possible for physicists to understand and use many techniques which have a group theoretical basis...

Logic and Language Models for Computer Science

Prentice Hall, 2002

So you are a computer science (CS) major and you are sitting down to see what this book is about. It has been assigned, the course is required, you have no choice. Still you chose your institution, your major. Maybe your instructor made a good choice. Let's hope so.

Okay, you are not a computer science major, perhaps not even a...

How to Lie With Statistics

W W Norton, 1954

"There is terror in numbers," writes Darrell Huff in How to Lie with Statistics. And nowhere does this terror translate to blind acceptance of authority more than in the slippery world of averages, correlations, graphs, and trends. Huff sought to break through "the daze that follows the collision of statistics with the...

How to Lie with Maps

University of Chicago Press, 1991

Originally published to wide acclaim, this lively, cleverly illustrated essay on the use and abuse of maps teaches us how to evaluate maps critically and promotes a healthy skepticism about these easy-to-manipulate models of reality. Monmonier shows that, despite their immense value, maps lie. In fact, they must.

The second...

Fourier Series and Orthogonal Polynomials (Dover Books on Mathematics)

Dover Publications, 2004

This text illustrates the fundamental simplicity of the properties of orthogonal functions and their developments in related series. Begins with a definition and explanation of the elements of Fourier series, and examines Legendre polynomials and Bessel functions. Also includes Pearson frequency functions and chapters on orthogonal,...

Inventory Accounting : A Comprehensive Guide (Wiley Best Practices)

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

The classical view of inventory data collection is that of employees filling out forms
of various kinds throughout the warehouse and production areas, which are then
forwarded to a central data entry location, where hordes of clerks keypunch the data
into a central computer database. Although this was a reasonably accurate view of...

Multidimensional Geographic Information Science (Geographic Information Systems Workshop)

CRC Press, 2000

This book has been a long time in the making. The origins of the ideas in this book lie in 1990 when I attended a NATO-funded Advanced Study Institute in Las Navas del Marqués in Spain on ‘Cognitive and Linguistic Aspects of Geographic Space’, organised by Andrew Frank and David Mark. After a long gestation, I started to write...

Fabricated: The New World of 3D Printing

John Wiley & Sons, 2013

Fabricated tells the story of 3D printers, humble manufacturing machines that are bursting out of the factory and into homes, businesses, schools, kitchens, hospitals, even the fashion catwalk. The magic happens when you plug a 3D printer into today's mind-boggling digital technologies. Add to that the Internet, tiny, low cost...

Introducing Philosophy of Religion

Routledge, 2009

Does God exist? What about evil and suffering? How does faith relate to science? Is there life after death? These questions fascinate everyone and lie at the heart of philosophy of religion. Chad Meister offers an up-to-date introduction to the field, focussing not only on traditional debates but also on contemporary concepts such as the...
