Liars and Outliers: Enabling the Trust that Society Needs to Thrive

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

Just today, a stranger came to my door claiming he was here to unclog a bathroom drain.

When he was done, I gave him a piece of paper that asked my bank to give him some money....

A Tiny Handbook of R (SpringerBriefs in Statistics)

Springer, 2011

R has a command-line interface, not a point-and-click GUI (graphical user interface).1 A GUI is easier to learn, and is the best way to interact with graphics. But you can be more expressive with command lines. The commands have a syntax. It’s a language, and like any language the more fluent you are the more expressive you...

Visualization in Mathematics, Reading and Science Education (Models and Modeling in Science Education)

Springer, 2010

Visualizations—either self-created or external visual stimuli used as an aid to learning—are probably as old as learning itself. Yet surprisingly little research has been done either into how precisely they help us learn, or how to produce ones that are effective pedagogical tools. This volume, a comprehensive review of theory and...

How to Write a Thesis

Open University Press, 2006

In evaluations, unsolicited emails and narratives of their experiences, doctoral and masters students tell me that the first edition helped them get started and complete their theses.

Restlet in Action: Developing RESTful web APIs in Java

Manning Publications, 2012

When I had a chance to use the Mosaic web browser way back in 1994, I fell in love with the web at first sight and became interested in HTML and the way the W3C was driving the growth of the web along with the IETF. A year later, I discovered Java by reading Sun’s white paper and was convinced that it would...

Syropoulos). As a data structure, this...
