"In his Course in General Linguistics, first published in 1916, Saussure postulated the existence of a general science of signs, or Semiology, of which linguistics would form only one part. Semiology, therefore aims to take in any system of signs, whatever their substance and limits; images, gestures, musical sounds, objects, and the complex associations of all these, which for...(展开全部)

Originally published in French in 1967, Semiology of Graphics holds a significant place in the theory of information design. Founded on Jacques Bertin’s practical experience as a cartographer, Part One of this work is an unprecedented attempt to synthesize principles of graphic communication with the logic of standard rules applied to writing and topography. Part Two brings Ber...(展开全部)

Introduction by Professor Douglas McKie.

Elements of Programming provides a different understanding of programming than is presented elsewhere. Its major premise is that practical programming, like other areas of science and engineering, must be based on a solid mathematical foundation. The book shows that algorithms implemented in a real programming language, such as C++, can operate in the most general mathematical ...(展开全部)

This is the softcover reprint of the 1975 English translation of the first three chapters of Bourbaki's Groupes et algebres de Lie. The first chapter describes the theory of Lie algebras, their deviations, representations, and enveloping algebras. Chapter two introduces free Lie algebras in order to discuss the exponential, logarithmic and the Hausdorff series. Chapter three de...(展开全部)
