Proofs and Algorithms: An Introduction to Logic and Computability (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science)

Springer, 2011

Logic is a branch of philosophy, mathematics and computer science. It studies the required methods to determine whether a statement is true, such as reasoning and computation.

Proofs and Algorithms: Introduction to Logic and Computability is an introduction to the fundamental concepts of contemporary logic - those of a...

Creatures of Cain: The Hunt for Human Nature in Cold War America

Princeton Press, 2019

How Cold War America came to attribute human evolutionary success to our species' unique capacity for murder

After World War II, the question of how to define a universal human nature took on new urgency. Creatures of Cain charts the rise and precipitous fall in Cold War America of a theory that...

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...

Data Analysis and Graphics Using R: An Example-Based Approach

Cambridge University Press, 2010

Discover what you can do with R! Introducing the R system, covering standard regression methods, then tackling more advanced topics, this book guides users through the practical, powerful tools that the R system provides.

SiGe and Si Strained-Layer Epitaxy for Silicon Heterostructure Devices

CRC Press, 2007

What seems routine today was not always so. The field of Si-based heterostructures rests solidly on the shoulders of materials scientists and crystal growers, those purveyors of the semiconductor “black arts” associated with the deposition of pristine films of nanoscale dimensionality onto enormous Si wafers with near infinite...

Schrodinger's Rabbits: The Many Worlds of Quantum

Joseph Henry Press, 2004

"Usually quantum fuzziness appears only in ultratiny arenas, on a scale smaller than a golf ball to the degree that the golf ball is smaller than Texas. But nowadays, in labs around the world, scientists are plotting to release quantum weirdness from its subatomic prison. Before too long, quantum news won't be just for the science section...

Great Physicists: The Life and Times of Leading Physicists from Galileo to Hawking

Oxford University Press, 2001

Here is a lively history of modern physics, as seen through the lives of thirty men and women from the pantheon of physics.
