What can computers do in principle? What are their inherent theoretical limitations? These are questions to which computer scientists must address themselves. The theoretical framework which enables such questions to be answered has been developed over the last fifty years from the idea of a computable function: intuitively a function whose values can be calculated in an effect...(展开全部)

This text covers the basic concepts and insights of game theory and offers classic examples and applications in a concise format. It provides a serious treatment of contract - an important, but often neglected topic in game theory - with minimal departure from the standard game coverage. Without skimping on mathematical precision, this text presents concepts and applications us...(展开全部)

This text presents and dicusses a variety of graphics used in transmitting information, analyzing signs, graphs and charts through a method similar to that found in Edward Tufte's books, "Envisioning Information" and "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" - both texts that have been seen to have had considerable influence on late-20th-century graphic designers. Includ...(展开全部)

How and why are languages constantly changing? Historical linguistics seeks to find out by going beyond the history of individual languages to discover the general principles which underlie language change. But our evidence is severely limited. Most of the world's languages are still unwritten, and even in areas with long written traditions, such as Europe and the Near East, do...(展开全部)
