Bayesian Statistics the Fun Way: Understanding Statistics and Probability with Star Wars, LEGO, and Rubber Ducks

No Starch Press, 2019

Fun guide to learning Bayesian statistics and probability through unusual and illustrative examples.

Probability and statistics are increasingly important in a huge range of professions. But many people use data in ways they don't even understand, meaning they aren't getting the most from it. Bayesian...

A Student's Guide to Coding and Information Theory

Cambridge University Press, 2012

This easy-to-read guide provides a concise introduction to the engineering background of modern communication systems, from mobile phones to data compression and storage. Background mathematics and specific engineering techniques are kept to a minimum so that only a basic knowledge of high-school mathematics is needed to understand the...

Differential Geometry: Bundles, Connections, Metrics and Curvature (Oxford Graduate Texts in Mathematics, Vol. 23)

Oxford University Press, 2011

Bundles, connections, metrics and curvature are the 'lingua franca' of modern differential geometry and theoretical physics. This book will supply a graduate student in mathematics or theoretical physics with the fundamentals of these objects.

Many of the tools used in differential topology are introduced and the...

Automated Reasoning: 4th International Joint Conference, IJCAR 2008, Sydney, NSW, Australia, August 12-15, 2008, Proceedings

Springer, 2008

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning, IJCAR 2008, held in Sydney, Australia, in August 2008. The 26 revised full research papers and 13 revised system descriptions presented together with 4 invited papers and a summary of the CASC-J4 systems competition were carefully...

Classical Field Theory

Cambridge University Press, 2019

Classical field theory predicts how physical fields interact with matter, and is a logical precursor to quantum field theory. This introduction focuses purely on modern classical field theory, helping graduates and researchers build an understanding of classical field theory methods before embarking on future studies in quantum field theory. It...

The History of Approximation Theory: From Euler to Bernstein

Birkhauser, 2005

The problem of approximating a given quantity is one of the oldest challenges faced by mathematicians. Its increasing importance in contemporary mathematics has created an entirely new area known as Approximation Theory. The modern theory was initially developed along two divergent schools of thought: the Eastern or Russian group, employing...

Advances in Applied Artificial Intelligence (Computational Intelligence and Its Applications)

Idea Group Publishing, 2006

Discussion on the nature of intelligence long pre-dated the development of the
electronic computer, but along with that development came a renewed burst of investigation
into what an artificial intelligence would be. There is still no consensus on how
to define artificial intelligence: Early definitions tended to discuss the type of...

Topics in Geometry, Coding Theory and Cryptography (Algebra and Applications)

Springer, 2006

The purpose of this reviewarticle is to serve as an introduction and at the same time, as an invitation to the theory of towers of function fields over finite fields. More specifically, we treat here the case of explicit towers; i.e., towers where the function fields are given by explicit equations. The asymptotic behaviour of the genus and of the...

Beyond Reason: Eight Great Problems That Reveal the Limits of Science

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

A mind-bending excursion to the limits of science and mathematics
Are some scientific problems insoluble? In Beyond Reason, internationally acclaimed math and science author A. K. Dewdney answers this question by examining eight insurmountable mathematical and scientific roadblocks that have stumped thinkers across the...

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...

Logic and Structure (Universitext)

Springer, 2012

Dirk van Dalen’s popular textbook Logic and Structure, now in its fifth edition, provides a comprehensive introduction to the basics of classical and intuitionistic logic, model theory and Gödel’s famous incompleteness theorem.

Propositional and predicate logic are presented in an easy-to-read style using...

Memory as a Programming Concept in C and C++

Cambridge University Press, 2003

The overwhelming majority of program bugs and computer crashes stem from problems of memory access, allocation, or deallocation. Such memory-related problems are also notoriously difficult to debug. Yet the role that memory plays in C and C++ programming is a subject often overlooked in courses and books because it requires specialized knowledge...
