The world’s most popular spreadsheet program is now more powerful than ever, but it’s also more complex. That’s where this Missing Manual comes in. With crystal-clear explanations and hands-on examples, Excel 2013: The Missing Manual shows you how to master Excel so you can easily track, analyze, and chart your...
Machine Learning:Discriminative and Generative covers the main contemporary themes and tools in machine learning ranging from Bayesian probabilistic models to discriminative support-vector machines. However, unlike previous books that only discuss these rather different approaches in isolation, it bridges the two...
The present book is dedicated to Dr. Rolf Landauer, whose early work on the subject
of reversible computing inspired me to begin more than 15 years of research
in this special corner of computer science. Twice I had the privilege to meet him
personally: once inWest Berlin (1992) and once in Boston (1996). Twice he encouraged
me...
This publication is the first book on the development and application of digital terrain modelling for regional planning and policy support. It is a compilation of research results by international research groups at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, providing scientific support to the development and implementation of EU...
The advent of new architectures and computing platforms means that synchronization and concurrent computing are among the most important topics in computing science. Concurrent programs are made up of cooperating entities -- processors, processes, agents, peers, sensors -- and synchronization is the set of concepts, rules and mechanisms that...
Symbolic computation is the use of algorithms and software to perform exact calculations on symbolic mathematical expressions. It has traditionally been the preserve of monolithic computer algebra systems. SymPy puts its power within easy reach of all Python programmers, just an import statement away.
To appreciate the dangers and the risks from chemicals of all kinds it is
necessary to understand how, when and why they are toxic. This falls
within the field of toxicology and is what this book is all about.
I was encouraged to write the book by Dr John Emsley, who is well
known for his popular science books on...
In this monograph we treat some topics that have been of some
importance and interest in probability theory. These include, in
particular, analytic characteristic functions, the moment problem,
infinitely divisible and self-decomposable distributions.
Recent research in probability has been concerned with applications such...
What is superconductivity? How was it discovered? What are the properties of superconductors, how are they applied now, and how are they likely to become widely used in the near future? These are just some of the questions which this important book sets out to answer. Starting with the discovery of superconductivity over ninety years ago, the...
The revelation that aspirin and aspirin-like compounds have notable antineoplastic properties has revolutionized cancer research. COX-2 Blockade in Cancer Prevention and Therapy chronicles the evidence and presents exciting new opportunities for the use of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) blockade in the prevention and treatment of cancer. The text...
In general, there is a perception that Calculus is an extremely difficult subject, probably because
the required number of good teachers and good books are not available. We know that books
cannot replace teachers, but we are of the opinion that, good books can definitely reduce
dependence on teachers, and students can gain more...
This is the first part in a two-volume work on neuromodulation. It describes techniques and procedures applied in internal contact with non-neural tissues surrounding the nervous system (dura or cerebrospinal fluid), as in the case of epidural stimulation for pain or intrathecal drug application for the treatment of spasticity and pain. In...
