This second edition assists engineering and physical science students on fundamental proof techniques and learning to think and write mathematics
Constructing concise and correct proofs is one of the most challenging aspects of learning to work with advanced mathematics. Meeting this challenge is a defining moment for those...
'Who am I?' In a world where randomness and chance make life transient and unpredictable, religion, psychology and philosophy have all tried, in their different ways, to answer this question and to give meaning and coherence to the human person. How we should construct a meaningful 'me' - and to make sense of one's life -...

everyone: Amazon has made lots of friends, and all its “enemies” are too busy admiring
AWS to do much fighting back. At the moment, there is no comparable public Infrastructure
as a Service (IaaS); AWS offers the services at a scale that has...
Automatic object recognition has become an established discipline in image analysis. Moments and moment invariants play a very important role as features in invariant recognition. They were introduced to the pattern recognition community almost 50 years ago and the mathematical background they utilized is even older, originating from the...
Let me begin by making an observation that the authors are too humble to make for
themselves: This book will change your life. But more on that in a moment. First I’m
going to do something prototypically YouTubian: I’m going to talk about myself.

computers, cell phones, gaming devices, and so on. The Internet,
World Wide Web, and their associated technologies have altered
our social and personal experience of the world. In no other time in...
Most of the reasons that I have written this book can be explained in terms of what reportedly happened one day in the eighteenth century when the great German mathematician Leonhard Euler confronted the eminent French scholar and atheist Denis Diderot with a spurious mathematical proof for the existence of God. Euler, it seems, accepted an...
Cracking the code to the perfect personalized diet—and a lifetime of super-health Have you ever wondered why a new diet is invented almost every other day, yet obesity levels and disease in this country remain at an all-time high? Have you wondered why the diet that works so well for your friend has no impact on you—or even makes...
For weeks, months—nay!—from the very moment you were born, you’ve felt it calling to you. At long last you’ll be united with the programming language you’ve been longing for: Clojure!
As a Lisp-style functional programming language, Clojure lets you write robust and elegant code, and because it...
