Mathematics of Discrete Structures for Computer Science

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Algorithms and Discrete Applied Mathematics, CALDAM 2017, held in Goa, India, in February 2017. The 32 papers presented i

The Physics of Polymers presents the elements of this important segment of material science, focusing on concepts above experimental techniques and theoretical methods. The book introduces and discuss

Cognitive Computing for Human-Robot Interaction: Principles and Practices explores the efforts that should ultimately enable society to take advantage of the often-heralded potential of robots to provide economical and sustainable computing applications. The book discusses each of these abilities, presents working implementations, and combines coherent and original deliberative architecture for human-robot interaction. Supported by experimental results, the book shows how explicit knowledge management can be instrumental in richer and more natural human-robot interactions by pushing for pervasive, human-level semantics within the robot's deliberative system for sustainable computing applications.

Due to the rapid expansion of the frontiers of physics and engineering, the demand for higher-level mathematics is increasing yearly. This book is designed to provide accessible knowledge of higher-le

The aim of this book is to offer some help to teachers who are not very confident of their own understanding of mathematics, but want to give some basic help to dyslexics and others in the particular

The idea for this book grew out of proposals at the APL86 con- ference in Manchester which led to the initiation of the I-APL (International APL) project, and through it to the availability of an inte

An Introduction to Mathematics for Economics introduces quantitative methods to students of economics and finance in a succinct and accessible style. The introductory nature of this textbook means a background in economics is not essential, as it aims to help students appreciate that learning mathematics is relevant to their overall understanding of the subject. Economic and financial applications are explained in detail before students learn how mathematics can be used, enabling students to learn how to put mathematics into practice. Starting with a revision of basic mathematical principles the second half of the book introduces calculus, emphasising economic applications throughout. Appendices on matrix algebra and difference/differential equations are included for the benefit of more advanced students. Other features, including worked examples and exercises, help to underpin the readers' knowledge and learning. Akihito Asano has drawn upon his own extensive teaching experience to cr

Isaac is a Department for Education project at the University of Cambridge that develops understanding and confidence through problem solving in the physical sciences, by combining accessible and concise print resources with a state of the art online study tool. This book is a co-publication between Periphyseos Press/Isaac and Cambridge University Press. ESSENTIAL PRE-UNIVERSITY MATHEMATICS FOR SCIENCES helps you master mathematics for final-year school courses and entry-level university and the maths needed for physics, chemistry and other sciences. Chapters 1–6 cover essential techniques in mathematics for sciences, offering both core practice and more advanced problems. Chapter 7 covers mathematical approaches to scientific problems, including population, money, nuclear chain reactions and random walks in gases and galaxies―each illustrating the power of mathematics. All problems can be answered on the Isaac online platform. Registration is free and gives both students and teacher
