Take charge of your child's screen time and learn fun lessons in math, science, art, architecture, and game design!Balancing your child's screen time can be difficult, especially when it comes to popular open-ended video games likeMinecraft. The game offers players an exploration, imagination, and creation-focused environment, but its nonlinear game structure can mean spending a lot of time in the game.Minecraft Lab for Kids includes a variety of creative exercises that explore the game's aspects and use them to teach fun, educational lessons. Begin the book by brushing up on some commonMinecraft language and examining each of the four game modes: survival, creative, adventure, and spectator. Then, use this knowledge to venture off onto the six different quests that encourage child and adult participation. These "gamified" labs will allow your child to earn stickers and badges as rewards as they complete quests. You'll even learn how to screencast and narrate your own videos to share w

Linear Algebra is an important basic theory course in the teaching plan of higher engineering schools. It is a mathematical tool widely used in all fields of natural science and engineering technology. With the rapid development of modern science and technology and the extensive application of computer, the importance of Linear Algebra in theory and application is more prominent. This puts forward higher request to the Linear Algebra teaching content from the depth and the breadth.Linear Algebra is given priority to in order to discuss the finite dimensional linear space theory courses, with strong abstractness and logical. Since the application of Linear Algebra has gone deep into the fields of natural science, social science, engineering technology, economy, management and so on. Therefore, of course, Linear Algebra should be combined with simple discretization methods, it should be co

Linear algebra permeates mathematics,perhaps more so than any other single subject.It plays an essential role in pure and applied mathematics,statistics,computer science,and many aspects of physics and engineering.This book conveys in a user-friendly way the basic and advanced techniques of linear algebra from the point of view of a working analyst.The techniques are illustrated by a wide sample of applications and examples that are chosen to highlight the tools of the trade.In short,this is material that many of us wish we had been taught as graduate students.Roughly the first third of the book covers the basic material of a first course in linear algebra.The remaining chapters are devoted to applications drawn from vector calculus,numerical analysis,control theory,complex analysis,convexity and functional analysis.In particular,fixed point theorems,extremal problems,matrix equations,zero location and eigenvalue location problems,and matrices with nonnegative entries are discussed.App

"AI expert Jerry Kaplan explains how generative AI will revolutionize virtually every human activity. Highly recommended." - Francis Fukuyama, Political scientist and author of The End of History and the Last Man Advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) have created a new class of computer systems that exhibit astonishing proficiency on a wide variety of tasks with superhuman performance, producing novel text, images, music, and software by analyzing enormous collections of digitized information. Soon, these systems will provide expert medical care; offer legal advice; draft documents; write computer programs; tutor our children; and generate music and art. These advances will accelerate progress in science, art, and human knowledge, but they will also bring new dangers. Have we finally discovered the holy grail of AI - machines that match or exceed human intelligence? Which industries and professions will thrive, and which will wither? What risks and dangers will it pose?

Smartphones, nuclear warheads, moon bases, computers . . . all bear the fingerprints of one remarkable man: John von Neumann. Born in Budapest in 1903, he moved to America in 1930 and--in his work as mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, and engineer--became one of the most influential scientists of the century. Von Neumann was instrumental in the Manhattan Project and the design of the atom bomb; he helped formulate game theory, the bedrock of Cold War geopolitics and modern economic theory; he created the programmable digital computer; he prophesized the potential of nanotechnology; and, from his deathbed, he outlined a vision of artificial intelligence.In telling the story of Von Neumann's life and ideas, Ananyo Bhattacharya explores how a combination of genius and historical circumstance allowed one man to sweep through so many different fields of science, sparking revolutions wherever he went. The Man from the Future is a thrilling biography of a visionary thinker who shap

Algorithmic graph theory has been expanding at an extremely rapid rate since the middle of the twentieth century, in parallel with the growth of computer science and the accompanying utilization of computers, where efficient algorithms have been a prime goal. This book presents material on developments on graph algorithms and related concepts that will be of value to both mathematicians and computer scientists, at a level suitable for graduate students, researchers and instructors. The fifteen expository chapters, written by acknowledged international experts on their subjects, focus on the application of algorithms to solve particular problems. All chapters were carefully edited to enhance readability and standardize the chapter structure as well as the terminology and notation. The editors provide basic background material in graph theory, and a chapter written by the book's Academic Consultant, Martin Charles Golumbic (University of Haifa, Israel), provides background material on al

Elasticity: Theory, Applications, and Numerics, Fourth Edition, continues its market-leading tradition of concisely presenting and developing the linear theory of elasticity, moving from solution methodologies, formulations, and strategies into applications of contemporary interest, such as fracture mechanics, anisotropic and composite materials, micromechanics, nonhomogeneous graded materials, and computational methods. Developed for a one- or two-semester graduate elasticity course, this new edition has been revised with new worked examples and exercises, and new or expanded coverage of areas such as treatment of large deformations, fracture mechanics, strain gradient and surface elasticity theory, and tensor analysis. Using MATLAB software, numerical activities in the text are integrated with analytical problem solutions.Online ancillary support materials for instructors include a solutions manual, image bank, and a set of PowerPoint lecture slides.

Network flow theory has been used across a number of disciplines, including theoretical computer science, operations research, and discrete math, to model not only problems in the transportation of goods and information, but also a wide range of applications from image segmentation problems in computer vision to deciding when a baseball team has been eliminated from contention. This graduate text and reference presents a succinct, unified view of a wide variety of efficient combinatorial algorithms for network flow problems, including many results not found in other books. It covers maximum flows, minimum-cost flows, generalized flows, multicommodity flows, and global minimum cuts and also presents recent work on computing electrical flows along with recent applications of these flows to classical problems in network flow theory.
