Constraint logic programming lies at the intersection of logic programming, optimisation and artificial intelligence. It has proved a successful tool in many areas including production planning, transportation scheduling, numerical analysis and bioinformatics. Eclipse is one of the leading software systems that realise its underlying methodology. Eclipse is exploited commercially by Cisco, and is freely available and used for teaching and research in over 500 universities. This book has a two-fold purpose. It's an introduction to constraint programming, appropriate for one-semester courses for upper undergraduate or graduate students in computer science or for programmers wishing to master the practical aspects of constraint programming. By the end of the book, the reader will be able to understand and write constraint programs that solve complex problems. Second, it provides a systematic introduction to the Eclipse system through carefully-chosen examples that guide the reader throu

A step-by-step visual guide to building your own computer games using Scratch 3.0Scratch 3.0 has landed, so stay ahead of the curve with this fully updated guide for beginner coders. Kids will love the step-by-step, visual approach that makes even the most difficult coding concepts fun and easy to understand. Coding Games in Scratch, 2nd Edition blends coding theory with the practical task of creating exciting games. Children will learn the fundamentals of computer programming by showing them how to build their own games. Coding theory is taught through practical tasks, so young programmers don't just learn how computer code works, but also why it's done that way. Jumpy Monkey will show them how to simulate gravity in their games, or give Dog's Dinner a go to learn about collision detection. Once they've whizzed through the book, the possibilities are endless!

The three most basic shapes -- squares, triangles and circles -- are all around us, from the natural world to the one we've engineered. Full of fascinating facts about these shapes and their 3D counterparts, Shapes in Math, Science and Nature introduces young readers to the basics of geometry and reveals its applications at home, school and everywhere in between. Puzzles and activities add to the fun factor.

Britain has long been recognised for its proud contribution to documentary cinema, yet its long tradition of scientific and medical documentaries remains underrepresented in the literature on nonfiction film. Films of Fact is the first in-depth history of the genre, which began with amateur hobbyists in the early twentieth century, played a key role in government post-war health programmes, and became a treasured part of popular culture with BBC2's Horizon and the programming of Channel 4. Central to the narrative is Paul Rotha, a pioneering advocate of science broadcasting of the post-war period, and a figure second only to John Grierson in British documentary history, who helped nurture the collaborative ethos and practices that make scientific and medical documentaries a unique subgenre of documentary cinema. Written by a specialist scientific scholar, Films of Fact is a landmark text on a crucial yet rarely discussed aspect of British popular culture. Discussed are films such as Wo

*Selected as One of Oprah’s Favorite Things 2021* “It’s never too early to introduce youngsters to inspiring people who have changed the world.” – As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com Meet three inspirational women from the world of science: Ada Lovelace, Amelia Earhart and Marie Curie! This boxed gift set of three hardback books from the internationally bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series introduces little dreamers to the lives of these incredible women who worked in the field of science… and changed the world. In these remarkable true stories, learn how three women overcame hardship to achieve great success in science. Ada Lovelace—despite growing up without a father and becoming very sick with measles as a child—went on to become the world’s first computer programmer.Amelia Earhart challenged conventional stereotypes, showing the world how brave and adventurous a woman could be by setting aviation records and undertaking dangerous flying missions. Marie Curie was unable to go to

If you want to ensure a bright future for your child thank to coding, then keep reading...Hey you, father or mother that are reading these lines, let me introduce myself. I'm Raymond Deep, expert programmer since 1999 and father of two wonderful kids.Do you know that the median annual wage for computer programmers was $86,550 in 2019? I want, like you, give a chance to my childs and, you know, coding is the skill that each one wants on the market.Children want to have fun and I was looking for, without ever being satisfied, a product that would explain step by step, without the intervention of a parent and in a funny way, how to start writing the first line of code.Searching on internet, I discovered an image-based programming language that is perfect for kids to learn the logic of programming, how a programmer has to think: SCRATCH 3.This language/tool is fantastic and, because I'm an experienced programmer, I saw the big potential and I started to study all details and features of th
