 Quaternions for Computer Graphics
More than 50 years ago when I was studying to become an electrical engineer,
I came across complex numbers, which were used to represent out-of-phase voltages
and currents using the j operator. I believe that the letter j was used, rather
than i, because the latter stood for electrical current. So from the very start of my
studies I... |  |  German Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
German philosophy stands at the center of modern thought. Without Kant, Frege, Wittgenstein, and Husserl there would be no Anglo-American "analytical" style of philosophy. And without Kant, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, and Heidegger, the "Continental Philosophy" of Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze, Badiou, and Zizek is... |  |  Persons, Souls and Death: A Philosophical Investigation of an Afterlife
Awareness of mortality is the price of intelligent consciousness. This book argues that a person is essentially an immaterial subject of conscious states who, though intimately linked by causal ties to the body, is nevertheless distinct from it. The book also examines apparently paranormal occurrences supporting the belief that some persons... |

 Knowledge and Computing: A Course on Computer Epistemology
The result of the author's extensive practical experience: a decade in computer process control using large scale systems, another decade in machine pattern-recognition for vision systems, and nearly a decade dealing with artificial intelligence and expert systems. These real-life projects have taught Vamos a critical appreciation of, and... |  |  |  |  Science in the Age of Computer Simulation
Computer simulation was first pioneered as a scientific tool in meteorology and nuclear physics in the period following World War II, but it has grown rapidly to become indispensible in a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including astrophysics, high-energy physics, climate science, engineering, ecology, and economics. Digital computer... |

 Data Architecture: From Zen to Reality
First, note that I have used Zen in the title of this book. I have
been asked many times why I used such an esoteric term. After
all, what is the meaning of Zen? To clarify the meaning of Zen,
we must examine the philosophical environment that gave rise
to Zen: Indian and Chinese philosophies. In India, Buddhism
arose out of a Hindu... |  |  Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Under Uncertainty: Logic at Work
This volume is based on the International Conference Logic at Work, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in December 1992. The 14 papers in this volume are selected from 86 submissions and 8 invited contributions and are all devoted to knowledge representation and reasoning under uncertainty, which are core issues of formal artificial... |  |  Introduction to the Theory of Computation
