Learning to Solve Problems: A Handbook for Designing Problem-Solving Learning Environments

Routledge, 2010

This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date look at problem solving research and practice over the last fifteen years. The first chapter describes differences in types of problems, individual differences among problem-solvers, as well as the domain and context within which a problem is being solved. Part one describes six kinds...

Structured Query Language (SQL): a Practical Introduction

NCC Blackwell, 1994

Let's start from basics. What is a database? In very general terms, a database is a collection of related data. Notice the word related, this implies that the collection of letters on this page do not by themselves constitute a database. But if we think of them as a collection of letters arranged to form words, then they can be conceptualised as...

A Statistical Guide for the Ethically Perplexed

CRC Press, 2012

For disciplines concerned with human well-being, such as medicine, psychology, and law, statistics must be used in accordance with standards for ethical practice. A Statistical Guide for the Ethically Perplexed illustrates the proper use of probabilistic and statistical reasoning in the behavioral, social, and biomedical...

SQL and Relational Theory: How to Write Accurate SQL Code

O'Reilly, 2009

Understanding SQL's underlying theory is the best way to guarantee that your SQL code is correct and your database schema is robust and maintainable. On the other hand, if you're not well versed in the theory, you can fall into several traps. In SQL and Relational Theory, author C.J. Date demonstrates how you can apply relational theory...

Mathematics of Discrete Structures for Computer Science

Springer, 2012

Mathematics plays a key role in computer science, some researchers would consider computers as nothing but the physical embodiment of mathematical systems. And whether you are designing a digital circuit, a computer program or a new programming language, you need mathematics to be able to reason about the design -- its correctness,...

Parallel and Distributed Logic Programming: Towards the Design of a Framework for the Next Generation Database Machines

Springer, 2006

Foundation of logic historically dates back to the times of Aristotle, who pioneered the concept of truth/falsehood paradigm in reasoning. Mathematical logic of propositions and predicates, which are based on the classical models of Aristotle, underwent a dramatic evolution during the last 50 years for its increasing applications in automated...

Geometric Problems on Maxima and Minima

Birkhauser, 2005

Questions of maxima and minima have great practical significance, with applications to physics, engineering, and economics; they have also given rise to theoretical advances, notably in calculus and optimization. Indeed, while most texts view the study of extrema within the context of calculus, this carefully constructed problem book takes a...

Al Application Programming

Charles River, 2003

The purpose of this book is to demystify the techniques associated with the field of artificial intelligence. It will cover a wide variety of techniques currently defined as "AI" and show how they can be useful in practical, everyday applications.

Many books on artificial intelligence provide tutorials for AI methods, but...

Discrete Mathematics DeMYSTiFied

McGraw-Hill, 2008

In today’s world, analytical thinking is a critical part of any solid education. An important segment of this kind of reasoning—one that cuts across many disciplines—is discrete mathematics. Discrete math concerns counting, probability, (sophisticated forms of) addition, and limit processes over discrete sets. Combinatorics, graph...

$Logic For Dummies (Math & Science)$

Logic For Dummies (Math & Science)

For Dummies, 2006

Logic concepts are more mainstream than you may realize. There’s logic every place you look and in almost everything you do, from deciding which shirt to buy to asking your boss for a raise, and even to watching television, where themes of such shows as CSI and Numbers incorporate a variety of logistical studies. Logic...

Algorithms and Data Structures

Prentice Hall, 1985

In recent years the subject of computer programming has been recognized as a discipline whose mastery is fundamental and crucial to the success of many engineering projects and which is amenable to scientific treatement and presentation. It has advanced from a craft to an academic discipline. The initial outstanding contributions...

Modelling and Reasoning with Vague Concepts

Springer, 2006

Vagueness is central to the flexibility and robustness of natural language descriptions. Vague concepts are robust to the imprecision of our perceptions, while still allowing us to convey useful, and sometimes vital, information. The study of vagueness in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is therefore motivated by the desire to incorporate this...
