Human Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences, 800 B.C. to 1950

Harper Perennial, 2004

A sweeping cultural survey reminiscent of Barzun's From Dawn to Decadence.

"At irregular times and in scattered settings, human beings have achieved great things. Human Accomplishment is about those great things, falling in the domains known as the arts and sciences, and the people who did them.'

Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics

O'Reilly, 2001

With its highly developed capacity to detect patterns in data, Perl has become one of the most popular languages for biological data analysis. But if you're a biologist with little or no programming experience, starting out in Perl can be a challenge. Many biologists have a difficult time learning how to apply the language to bioinformatics. The...

Remote Sensing: The Image Chain Approach

Oxford University Press, 2007

Remote Sensing deals with the fundamental ideas underlying the rapidly growing field of remote sensing. John Schott explores energy-matter interaction, radiation propagation, data dissemination, and described the tools and procedures required to extract information from remotely sensed data using the image chain approach. Organizations and...

Decomposition Methodology For Knowledge Discovery And Data Mining: Theory And Applications

World Scientific Publishing, 2005

The book presents an interesting and pleasant introduction to the topic, which can guide the reader to the knowledge of the existing decomposition methods, and to the choice of those most promising for the problems he has to face. -- Zentralblatt MATH

Data Mining is the science and technology of exploring data in...

Serious Performance Consulting According to Rummler

ISPI, 2004

Praise for Serious Performance Consulting According to Rummler

"Before there was 'lean,' before there was TQM, before there was knowledge management, and before there were any one-minute cures, there was Geary Rummler preaching and practicing performance technology. With Serious...

Distributed Control of Robotic Networks: A Mathematical Approach to Motion Coordination Algorithms (Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics)

Princeton Press, 2009

This book covers its subject very thoroughly. The framework the authors have established is very elegant and, if it catches on, this book could be the primary reference for this approach. I don't know of any other book that covers this set of topics.
(Richard M. Murray, California Institute of Technology )

Elementary Functions: Algorithms and Implementation

Birkhauser, 2005

"An important topic, which is on the boundary between numerical analysis and computer science…. I found the book well written and containing much interesting material, most of the time disseminated in specialized papers published in specialized journals difficult to find. Moreover, there are very few books on these topics and they are...

The Fifth Postulate: How Unraveling A Two Thousand Year Old Mystery Unraveled the Universe

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

What do Einstein's theory of relativity, string theory, and lots of other mind-bending—and space-bending—revelations of modern physics have in common? None of them could have been discovered until scientists and mathematicians recognized an uncomfortable truth—that there was a reason the world's greatest mathematical minds had...

Rare Event Simulation using Monte Carlo Methods

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

In a probabilistic model, a rare event is an event with a very small probability of occurrence. The forecasting of rare events is a formidable task but is important in many areas. For instance a catastrophic failure in a transport system or in a nuclear power plant, the failure of an information processing system in a bank, or in the communication...

Introduction to Information Theory and Data Compression, Second Edition

CRC Press, 2003

An effective blend of carefully explained theory and practical applications, this text imparts the fundamentals of both information theory and data compression. Although the two topics are related, this unique text allows either topic to be presented independently, and it was specifically designed so that the data compression section requires...

Handbook of Research on Computational Forensics, Digital Crime, and Investigation: Methods and Solutions

Information Science Publishing, 2009

The Handbook of Research on Computational Forensics, Digital Crime, and Investigation: Methods and Solutions addresses a broad range of electronic devices and software for crime prevention and investigation. This defining body of research covers a wide spectrum of topics useful to a broad cross-sectional and multi-disciplinary...

Geometric Computing: for Wavelet Transforms, Robot Vision, Learning, Control and Action

Springer, 2010

Geometric algebra (GA) is a powerful new mathematical system for computational geometry. Although its origins can be traced back to Hermann Grassmann (1844), its development as a language for space–time geometry with applications to all of physics did not begin until 1966. Suddenly, in the year 2000 it was recognized that a specialized...
