Computer Programming for Teens

Course Technology PTR, 2007

Ready to learn computer programming but aren’t sure where to start? Look no further, Computer Programming for Teens is the book for you. Other books on programming tend to be language specific and often get bogged down in the syntax of the language. That is fine if you already have a strong background in programming, but if you’re a...

The Essential John Nash

Princeton Press, 2007

"John Nash's creative work in game theory has of course had the most profound influence on both its mathematics and its practical applications in economics. It is very good to see his work in this area joined with his other mathematical contributions in a single volume, to give a more rounded perspective."--Kenneth J. Arrow, 1972 Nobel...

Mathematical Fallacies and Paradoxes

Dover Publications, 1997

Stimulating, thought-provoking analysis of a number of the most interesting intellectual inconsistencies in mathematics, physics and language. Delightful elucidations of methods for misunderstanding the real world of experiment (Aristotle™s Circle paradox), being led astray by algebra (De Morgan™s paradox) and other mind-benders. Some...

Codes: An Introduction to Information Communication and Cryptography (Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series)

Springer, 2008

Many people do not realise that mathematics provides the foundation for the devices we use to handle information in the modern world. Most of those who do know probably think that the parts of mathematics involved are quite ‘classical’, such as Fourier analysis and differential equations. In fact, a great deal of...

Seismic Wave Theory

Cambridge University Press, 2019

Perfect for senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students in geophysics, physics, mathematics, geology and engineering, this book is devoted exclusively to seismic wave theory. The result is an invaluable teaching tool, with its detailed derivations of formulas, clear explanations of topics, exercises along with selected answers, and an...

Modeling Decisions: Information Fusion and Aggregation Operators (Cognitive Technologies)

Springer, 2007

Information fusion techniques and aggregation operators produce the most comprehensive, specific datum about an entity using data supplied from different sources, thus enabling us to reduce noise, increase accuracy, summarize and extract information, and make decisions. These techniques are applied in fields such as economics, biology and...

Gravity from the Ground Up: An Introductory Guide to Gravity and General Relativity

Cambridge University Press, 2003

"...the text is...inviting, with exercises that have real-world application, such as exploring the energy of photons that cause sunburn." Stuart J. Goldman, Sky & Telescope

"Delightfully throrough yet easy to read." American Scientist

This book provides an accessible introduction to...

Mathematical Olympiad Challenges

Birkhauser, 2008

This significantly revised and expanded second edition of "Mathematical Olympiad Challenges" is a rich collection of problems put together by two experienced and well-known professors and coaches of the U.S. International Mathematical Olympiad Team. Hundreds of beautiful, challenging, and instructive problems from algebra, geometry,...

A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python (Texts in Computational Science and Engineering)

Springer, 2012

The aim of this book is to teach computer programming using examples from mathematics and the natural sciences. We have chosen to use the Python programming language because it combines remarkable expressive power with very clean, simple, and compact syntax. Python is easy to learn and very well suited for an introduction to...

Learning Physics Modeling with PhysX

Packt Publishing, 2013

In this day and age, physics engines play a very critical role in the success of a sophisticated game. PhysX is a state-of-the-art cross-platform physics engine widely used by top game studios and developers. It contains all the physics-related components you will need and exploits the parallel-processing capability of modern GPUs as well as...

Measure Theory: Second Edition (Birkhäuser Advanced Texts Basler Lehrbücher)

Birkhauser, 2013

Intended as a self-contained introduction to measure theory, this textbook also includes a comprehensive treatment of integration on locally compact Hausdorff spaces, the analytic and Borel subsets of Polish spaces, and Haar measures on locally compact groups. This second edition includes a chapter on measure-theoretic probability...
