His acclaimed works and celebrated collaborations with Félix Guattari have established him as a seminal figure in the fields of literary criticism and philosophy. The long-awaited publication of What Is Philosophy? in English marks the culmination of Deleuze's career.Deleuze and Guattari differentiate between philosophy, science, and the arts, seeing as means of confronting chaos, and challenge the common view that philosophy is an extension of logic. The authors also discuss the similarities and distinctions between creative and philosophical writing. Fresh anecdotes from the history of philosophy illuminate the book, along with engaging discussions of composers, painters, writers, and architects.A milestone in Deleuze's collaboration with Guattari, What Is Philosophy? brings a new perspective to Deleuze's studies of cinema, painting, and music, while setting a brilliant capstone upon his work.

    The book seeks to provide a thorough overview of all the fundamental concepts related to computer science and programming. It lays down the foundation for all the advanced courses that a student is expected to learn in the following semesters. The book is divided into three parts, beginning with an introduction to computers illustrating the evolution, characteristics, basic orgranisation, and classification of computers along with their applications. It then delves into the concepts of input/output devices in detail and number representation including binary, octal, and hexadecimal number systems. Separate chapters on computer's memory, computer software, Internet, and introduction to algorithms and programming languages are covered next. Part two entails the fundamentals of C programming including a thorough introduction to programming in C language, decision control and loop statements, functions, arrays, strings, pointers, structure and union, file management, and preprocessor directives. Part three introduces all the important data structures, namely, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, and graphs. A highly detailed pedagogy entailing plenty of examples, figures, programming tips, keywords, and end-chapter exercises makes this a must-have book for all engineering students.

    KEY TOPICS: Coverage begins with an optional review of key concepts--such as properties of compound semiconductor, quantum mechanics, semiconductor statistics, carrier transport properties, optical processes, and junction theory--then progress gradually through more advanced topics. The Second Edition has been both updated and expanded to include the recent developments in the field.

    Globally accepted and written by one of the most foremost authors in the field, this is a necessary read for all managers, human resource workers, and anyone needing to understand and improve their people skills.

    Because the computer gathers knowledge from experience, there is no need for a human computer operator to formally specify all the knowledge that the computer needs. The hierarchy of concepts allows the computer to learn complicated concepts by building them out of simpler ones; a graph of these hierarchies would be many layers deep. This book introduces a broad range of topics in deep learning.The text offers mathematical and conceptual background, covering relevant concepts in linear algebra, probability theory and information theory, numerical computation, and machine learning. It describes deep learning techniques used by practitioners in industry, including deep feedforward networks, regularization, optimization algorithms, convolutional networks, sequence modeling, and practical methodology; and it surveys such applications as natural language processing, speech recognition, computer vision, online recommendation systems, bioinformatics, and videogames. Finally, the book offers research perspectives, covering such theoretical topics as linear factor models, autoencoders, representation learning, structured probabilistic models, Monte Carlo methods, the partition function, approximate inference, and deep generative models.Deep Learning can be used by undergraduate or graduate students planning careers in either industry or research, and by software engineers who want to begin using deep learning in their products or platforms. A website offers supplementary material for both readers and instructors.

    This revision includes General ChemistryNow, a new CD-ROM and web-based learning system that focuses on goals, connections, and complete integration with the text.

    Following an introduction to neural structure and function, all the key methods and procedures of cognitive neuroscience are explained, with a view to helping students understand how they can be used to shed light on the neural basis of cognition.The second part of the book goes on to present an up-to-date overview of the latest theories and findings in all the key topics in cognitive neuroscience, including vision, attention, memory, speech and language, numeracy, executive function and social and emotional behaviour. Throughout, case studies, newspaper reports and everyday examples are used to provide an easy way in to understanding the more challenging ideas that underpin the subject.In addition each chapter includes:Summaries of key terms and points Example essay questions to aid exam preparation Recommended further reading Feature boxes exploring interesting and popular questions and their implications for the subject.Written in an engaging style by a leading researcher in the field, this book will be invaluable as a core text for undergraduate modules in cognitive neuroscience. It can also be used as a key text on courses in cognition, cognitive neuropsychology or brain and behaviour. Those embarking on research will find it an invaluable starting point and reference.We offer CD-ROM-based resources free of charge to instructors who recommend The Student's Guide to Cognitive Neuroscience by Jamie Ward. These resources include:A chapter-by-chapter, illustrated slideshow lecture course An innovative bank of multiple-choice questions, graded according to difficulty and which allow for confidence-weighted answers Comprehensive lecture planning advice tailored to different length courses.Jamie Ward has researched and taught extensively in many areas of cognitive neuroscience. He is a leading authority on the subject of synaesthesia and has contributed to a wider understanding of it in both academic and lay circles.

    They bring a conceptual approach to chemistry and integrate problem-solving skills throughout, helping students transition from theory to practice. A strong emphasis on models, real-world applications, and visual learning prevails throughout the text. The Seventh Edition seamlessly integrates the strengths of the Zumdahl approach through a comprehensive and interwoven print and technology program. Enhanced Sample Exercises, online homework problems, and Classroom Response System content help instructors assess conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills, while new animations and images support visual learning. In addition, Houghton Mifflin offers implementation services through our TeamUP program to help instructors and students get the most out of the text and its supplements.

    It adopts a novel approach, by using the programming language c to teach data structures. The book discusses concepts like arrays, algorithm analysis, strings, queues, trees and graphs. Well-designed animations related to these concepts are provided in the cd-rom which accompanies the book. This enables the reader to get a better understanding of the complex procedures described in the book through a visual demonstration of the same. Data structure through c is a comprehensive book which can be used as a reference book by students as well as computer professionals. It is written in a clear, easy-to-understood manner and it includes several programs and examples to explain clearly the complicated concepts related to data structures. The book was published by bpb publications in 2003 and is available in paperback. Key features: the book contains example programs that elucidate the concepts. It comes with a cd that visually demonstrates the theory presented in the book.
