| | The Fractal Geometry of NatureImagine an equilateral triangle. Now, imagine smaller equilateral triangles perched in the center of each side of the original triangle--you have a Star of David. Now, place still smaller equilateral triangles in the center of each of the star's 12 sides. Repeat this process infinitely and you have a Koch snowflake, a mind-bending geometric... | | Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification
As Eric S. Raymond reminds us, Open Source Software will continue to shape the
dynamics of the computer software industry for the next long while, just as it has for the
last decade. Coined and perpetuated by hackers, the term “Open Source Software” refers
to software in which the source code is freely available to... |

Data Mining: A Knowledge Discovery Approach
“If you torture the data long enough, Nature will confess,” said 1991 Nobel-winning economist
Ronald Coase. The statement is still true. However, achieving this lofty goal is not easy. First,
“long enough” may, in practice, be “too long” in many applications and thus unacceptable. Second, ... | | Mathematical Models of Spoken LanguageHumans use language to convey meaningful messages to each other. Linguistic competence consists in the ability to express meaning reliably, not simply to obtain faithful lexical transcriptions. This invaluable reference tool is the product of many years' experience and research on language and speech technology. It presents the motivations for,... | | Artificial Cognition SystemsThe central questions confronting artificial intelligence and cognitive science revolve around the nature of meaning and of mind. Minds are presumed to be the processors of mental content, where that content has the capacity to influence our speech and other behavior. The hard part is figuring out how that is done. Mental states must exercise... |

Systems Bioinformatics: An Engineering Case-Based ApproachThe high-throughput nature of bioinformatics and system biology has made traditional biological methods, which tend to focus one or two molecules at a time, obsolete. It has made engineering and problem solving skills essential to attack the resulting complex, multiscale problems. Certain technologies, such as robotics automation, microfabrication,... | | The Essential GalileoEdited and translated by Maurice A. Finocchiaro, an international authority on Galileo, this collection makes available to scholars and students an excellent and extensive selection of Galileo's key works from his early career to the end of his life - some in toto and some represented by key selections. It presents not only Galileo's most famous... | | The Fabulous Fibonacci Numbers"...delightful...accessible to anyone who enjoys or enjoyed high school mathematics. Mathematics teachers from middle school through college will find this book fun to read and useful in the classroom. The authors consider more properties, relationships, and applications of the Fibonacci numbers than most other sources do...I enjoyed reading... |
