Geometric Problems on Maxima and MinimaQuestions 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... | | Introduction to Probability and Statistics
Every time you pick up a newspaper or a magazine, watch TV, or surf the Internet, you
encounter statistics. Every time you fill out a questionnaire, register at an online website,
or pass your grocery rewards card through an electronic scanner, your personal
information becomes part of a database containing your personal... | | Reasoning About Program TransformationsThe motivation of this text lies in what we believe is the inadequacy of current frameworks to reason about the flow of data in imperative programs. This inadequacy clearly shows up when dealing with the individual side effects of loop iterations. Indeed, we face a paradoxical situation where, on the one hand, a typical program spends most of its... |

Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (IFIP International Federation for Information Processing)Artificial Intelligence is one of the oldest and most exciting subfields of computing, covnering such areas as intelligent robotics, intelligent planning and scheduling, model-based reasoning, fault diagnosis, natural language processing, maching translation, knowledge representation and reasoning, knowledge-based systems, knowledge engineering,... | | User Interface Design for ProgrammersMost programmers' fear of user interface (UI) programming comes from their fear of doing UI design. They think that UI design is like graphic design--the mysterious process by which creative, latte-drinking, all-black-wearing people produce cool-looking, artistic pieces. Most programmers see themselves as analytic, logical thinkers... | | Constraint Processing (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Artificial Intelligence)
A constraint is a restriction on a space of possibilities; it is a piece of knowledge that
narrows the scope of this space. Because constraints arise naturally in most areas of
human endeavor, they are the most general means for formulating regularities that
govern our computational, physical, biological, and social worlds. Some... |
