P.S.拉普拉斯，法国著名的数学家、力学家和天文学家。拉普拉斯是天体力学的主要奠基人、天体演化学的创立者之一、分析概率论的创始人以及应用数学的先驱。他最具代表性的著作有《天体力学》、《宇宙体系论》和《概率的分析理论》。拉普拉斯在研究天体问题的过程中，创造和发展了许多数学方法，以他的名字命名的拉普拉斯变换、拉普拉斯定理和拉普拉斯方程，在科学技术的各个领域有着广泛的应用。 拉普拉斯对于概率论有很大的贡献，他把自己在概率论上的发现以及前人的所有发现统归一处。我们耳熟能详的那些名词，诸如随机变量、数字特征、特征函数和中心极限定理等都是由他引入或者改进的。 拉普拉斯卒于1827年。据说，他的最后一句话是，“我们知道的甚少，不知道的甚广。”

Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749-1827) is remembered amoung probabilitists today particularly for his "Theorie analytique des probabilites", published in 1812. The "Essai philosophique dur les probabilites" is his introduction for the second edition of this work. Here Laplace provided a popular exposition on his "Theorie". The "Essai", based on a lecture on probability given by Lapla...(展开全部)

This classic introduces the concepts and uses of probability theory. It demonstrates, without the use of higher mathematics, the application of probability to games of chance, physics, reliability of witnesses, astronomy, insurance, democratic government, and many other areas. It also shows how scientists can express complex ideas in simple terms.

玛格丽特·杜拉斯（Marguerite Duras，1914-1996）法国小说家、剧作家、电影导演，本名玛格丽特·多纳迪厄，出生于印度支那，在那里度过生命最初十八年的时光。炎热杂乱的殖民地，窘迫变迁的家境，忍耐偏执的母亲，放荡骄纵的大哥，温情落寞的“小哥哥”，如此种种影响了杜拉斯一生，在她日后创作中刻下深深的烙印。1932年后回法国定居，进入大学学习政治、法律等，曾在法国政府殖民部工作，参加过抵抗运动。1943年，以杜拉斯为笔名发表第一部小说《无耻之徒》，从此步入文坛。1950年的《抵挡太平洋的堤坝》广受好评，入围当年龚古尔文学奖，并被改编成电影。一生创作了大量小说、剧作和电影作品，以电影《广岛之恋》（1959年）和《印度之歌》（1975年）赢得国际声誉，以小说《情人》（1984年）获得当年龚古尔文学奖。 译者简介：王东亮，1980年考入北京大学西...(展开全部)

Algebraic number theory introduces students to new algebraic notions as well as related concepts: groups, rings, fields, ideals, quotient rings, and quotient fields. This text covers the basics, from divisibility theory in principal ideal domains to the unit theorem, finiteness of the class number, and Hilbert ramification theory. 1970 edition.

The Elephant is a collection of devastating satirical sketches by a Polish writer, and it has been called everything from "a short marvel" to "a brilliant literary coup." Mrozek takes deadly aim at the bureaucrats in his own society and, with buoyant and delicious fantasy, makes the absurd seem real and the real absurd. More than a political commentator, as all good satirists h...(展开全部)

In these notes, Professor Kreps surveys the standard models of choice under uncertainty that lie at the heart of microeconomic theory. Choice and preference, ordinal utility, von Neumann-Morganstern utility and utility functions for money, and subjective probability and subjective expected utility are among the standard topics covered. These notes provide a rigorous but accessi...(展开全部)

"These notes are about the process of design: the process of inventing things which display new physical order, organization, form, in response to function." This book, opening with these words, presents an entirely new theory of the process of design. In the first part of the book, Mr. Alexander discusses the process by which a form is adapted to the context of human needs a...(展开全部)
