Black Ball and the Boardwalk
Author: James E. Overmyer
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786472375
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
The Giants' accomplishments took place against an historical backdrop of a change in the African-American experience. The original players from Jacksonville, Florida, joined the northward black migration during World War I. The team was named after Harry Bacharach--an Atlantic City politician running for mayor--as a way to keep his name before the city's black community. The Giants were immediately successful, and soon played the best semi-professional teams in their region, as well as the top black teams from the East and Midwest. They entered the first Negro league on the East Coast in 1923, and won the league championship twice before the decade ended. This book chronicles the Giants' pivotal role in the development of black baseball in Prohibition Era Atlantic City, and the careers of the men who made it possible.

Statistics for Management
Author: R.S. Balasenthil
Publisher: Shanlax Publications
ISBN: 9361631551
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
This book is written for MBA students and statistics teachers of Anna University affiliated institutions. It is a natural outcome of the author, after teaching statistics several times for MBA students. It is shaped and reshaped several times to heal the heart and soul of non-mathematical community. This book covers all models in all chapters, completely. Problem identification is the most difficult task in statistics for the students. Hence a new approach with short cuts is used throughout the book to simplify this task. This book differs from other books in approaching the sampling distribution. Sampling distribution chapter is usually classified based on standard error, confidence interval estimation and hypothesis testing; or based on the number of sample sets – one sample, two sample; or based on the sample size – large sample, small sample; or based on the statistical tables – such as z test, t test, chi square test and F test. But this book classifies the sampling distribution chapter based on the parameters – Mean, Proportion, Standard deviation cum Variance. Because the very first thing to be decided by any researcher or a practitioner or a decision maker before applying any statistical tool is the parameter to be used and none other! The syllabus is reorganized as per the convenience of the students. 2nd and 3rd unit of the syllabus is reorganized based on the parameters – Mean, Proportion and Standard deviation instead of standard error, interval estimation and hypothesis testing. Similarly the discrete distributions – binomial & Poisson distributions and Probability rules of 1st unit are dealt at the end. Probability rules are grouped based on two models – associated events and successive events. Each Chapter contains illustrations, examples, formula, short answers and exercise.

Thinking Things Through
Author: Clark N. Glymour
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262571197
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
Thinking Things Through provides a broad, historical, and rigorous introduction to the logical tradition in philosophy and to its contemporary significance. The presentation is centered around three of the most fruitful issues in Western thought: What are proofs, and why do they provide knowledge? How can experience be used to gain knowledge or to alter beliefs in a rational way? What is the nature of mind and of mental events and mental states? In a clear and lively style, Glymour describes these key philosophical problems and traces attempts to solve them, from ancient Greece to the present. Thinking Things Through reveals the philosophical sources of modern work in logic, the theory of computation, Bayesian statistics, cognitive psychology, and artificial intelligence, and it connects these subjects with contemporary problems in epistemology and metaphysics. The text is full of examples and problems, and an instructor's manual is available.Clark Glymour is Alumni Professor of Philosophy at Carnegie-Mellon University and Adjunct Professor of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh.
