 Geometry: A Metric Approach with Models by Richard S. Millman , George D. Parker English | PDF | 1981 | 367 Pages | ISBN : 1468401327 | 44.2 MB This book is intended as a first rigorous course in geometry. As the title indicates, we have adopted Birkhoff's metric approach (i.e., through use of real numbers) rather than Hilbert's synthetic approach to the subject. Throughout the text we illustrate the various axioms, definitions, and theorems with models ranging from the familiar Cartesian plane to the Poincare upper half plane, the Taxicab plane, and the Moulton plane. We hope that through an intimate acquaintance with examples (and a model is just an example), the reader will obtain a real feeling and intuition for non Euclidean (and in particular, hyperbolic) geometry. From a pedagogical viewpoint this approach has the advantage of reducing the reader's tendency to reason from a picture.
 Kai Hormann, N. Sukumar, "Generalized Barycentric Coordinates in Computer Graphics and Computational Mechanics" English | 2017 | ISBN: 1498763596 | PDF | pages: 351 | 8.0 mb In Generalized Barycentric Coordinates in Computer Graphics and Computational Mechanics, eminent computer graphics and computational mechanics researchers provide a state-of-the-art overview of generalized barycentric coordinates. Commonly used in cutting-edge applications such as mesh parametrization, image warping, mesh deformation, and finite as well as boundary element methods, the theory of barycentric coordinates is also fundamental for use in animation and in simulating the deformation of solid continua. Generalized Barycentric Coordinates is divided into three sections, with five chapters each, covering the theoretical background, as well as their use in computer graphics and computational mechanics. A vivid 16-page insert helps illustrating the stunning applications of this fascinating research area.

 Misha Shifman, John Wheater, Arkady Vainshtein, "From Fields to Strings: Circumnavigating Theoretical Physics - Ian Kogan Memorial Collection (in 3 Volumes)" English | 2005 | pages: 2393 | ISBN: 9812389555 | PDF | 107,6 mb This volume is a collection of dedicated reviews covering all aspects of theoretical high energy physics and some aspects of solid state physics. Some of the papers are broad reviews of topics that span the entire field while others are surveys of authors' personal achievements. This is the most comprehensive review collection reflecting state of the art at the end of 2004. An important and unique aspect is a special effort the authors have invested in making the presentation pedagogical.  Kevin C. Klement, "Frege and the Logic of Sense and Reference" English | 2001 | ISBN: 0415937906, 0415514665 | PDF | pages: 272 | 1.6 mb [center]  Foundations of Violence: Death and the Displacement of Beauty by Grace M. Jantzen English | May 27, 2004 | ISBN: 0415290325, 0415290333 | True EPUB | 400 pages | 2 MB The pursuit of death and the love of death has characterized Western culture from Homeric times through centuries of Christianity, taking particular deadly shapes in Western postmodernity. This necrophilia shows itself in destruction and violence, in a focus on other worlds and degradation of this one, and in hatred of the body, sense and sexuality. In her major new book project Death and the Displacement of Beauty, Grace M. Jantzen seeks to disrupt this wish for death, opening a new acceptance of beauty and desire that makes it possible to choose life.  Claus Weihs, Olaf Mersmann, Uwe Ligges, "Foundations of Statistical Algorithms: With References to R Packages" English | 2014 | ISBN: 0367379090 | PDF | pages: 495 | 3.3 mb A new and refreshingly different approach to presenting the foundations of statistical algorithms, Foundations of Statistical Algorithms: With References to R Packages reviews the historical development of basic algorithms to illuminate the evolution of today's more powerful statistical algorithms. It emphasizes recurring themes in all statistical algorithms, including computation, assessment and verification, iteration, intuition, randomness, repetition and parallelization, and scalability. Unique in scope, the book reviews the upcoming challenge of scaling many of the established techniques to very large data sets and delves into systematic verification by demonstrating how to derive general classes of worst case inputs and emphasizing the importance of testing over a large number of different inputs.
 For You When I Am Gone: A Journal: A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Your Ethical Will by Steve Leder English | December 27th, 2022 | ISBN: 0593421574 | 256 pages | True EPUB | 0.89 MB A beautiful keepsake journal inspired by For You When I Am Gone to help you create your own ethical will.  David Wood, "Football and Literature in South America" English | 2018 | ISBN: 1138351016, 1138885606 | PDF | pages: 237 | 1.3 mb South America is a region that enjoys an unusually high profile as the origin of some of the world's greatest writers and most celebrated footballers. This is the first book to undertake a systematic study of the relationship between football and literature across South America. Beginning with the first football poem published in 1899, it surveys a range of texts that address key issues in the region's social and political history.  Bruce Wilshire, "Fashionable Nihilism: A Critique of Analytic Philosophy" English | 2002 | ISBN: 0791454304 | 172 pages | PDF | 0.58 MB One of America's foremost philosophers reflects on the discipline and its relation to everyday life. |
