This reader-friendly textbook is the first work of its kind to provide a unified Introduction to Computational Social Science (CSS). Four distinct methodological approaches are examined in detail, namely automated social information extraction, social network analysis, social complexity theory and social simulation modeling. The coverage of these approaches is supported by a di...(展开全部)

Rather than the 25 to 30 chapters found in most environmental science textbooks, the authors have limited Principles of Environmental Science: Inquiry and Applications to 15 chapters--perfect for the one-semester, non-majors environmental science course. True to its title, the goal of this concise text is to provide an up-to-date, introductory view of essential themes in enviro...(展开全部)

◎作者简介 威廉·坎宁安（William Cunningham），美国明尼苏达大学的名誉教授，他在植物学、遗传学、细胞生物学以及生物保护计划方面持续了36年的教学工作。1963年，他获得得克萨斯州植物学博士学位，并在普渡大学担任博士后研究员两年。他曾多次在瑞典、挪威、印度尼西亚和中国做访问学者。坎宁安博士致力于生物学的本科阶段的教育和教学发展。他从结构生物学开始了他的教学生涯，他还长期专注于环境科学和教学课程，并获得了明尼苏达大学授予的两项最高荣誉——杰出教学奖和“Amoco”校友奖。 玛丽·安·坎宁安（Mary Ann Cunningham），一直致力于地理和地理信息系统（GIS）以及瓦萨学院的环境研究。她的研究包括使用GIS来评估保护和生物多样性的景观级问题。她对了解草地环境破坏的本质和对鸟类群落构成的影响感兴趣。她研究的农业景观涉及工作景观、资...(展开全部)

Encompasses the full range of computational science and engineering from modelling to solution, both analytical and numerical. It develops a framework for the equations and numerical methods of applied mathematics. Gilbert Strang has taught this material to thousands of engineers and scientists (and many more on MIT's OpenCourseWare 18.085-6). His experience is seen in his clea...(展开全部)

This well-accepted introduction to computational geometry is a textbook for high-level undergraduate and low-level graduate courses. The focus is on algorithms and hence the book is well suited for students in computer science and engineering. Motivation is provided from the application areas: all solutions and techniques from computational geometry are related to particular ap...(展开全部)

This well-respected text is designed for the first course in probability and statistics taken by students majoring in Engineering and the Computing Sciences. The prerequisite is one year of calculus. The text offers a balanced presentation of applications and theory. The authors take care to develop the theoretical foundations for the statistical methods presented at a level th...(展开全部)

In this lucid and engaging introductory volume on the nature of society, Roger Trigg examines the scientific basis of social science and shows that philosophical presuppositions are a necessary starting point for the study of society.
