Book Description
If you love Sudoku puzzles and enjoy word games, this book delightfully combines both. And while you are having fun solving XYZ-DoKu mystery message puzzles, you will also be learning all about the horrific 21st century CORONAVIRUS that traveled around the world. This entertaining XYZ-DoKu mystery message puzzle book includes a two-fold tutorial which not only teaches you how to successfully solve the puzzles, but explains the worldwide COVID-19 outbreak -- and that is what each and every XYZ-DoKu mystery message is about! XYZ-DoKu solvers will find that the rules to figuring out these large print puzzles are the same as number sudokus, only they must fill in the grid with letters instead. When the puzzle is successfully completed, the mystery message solution will appear on the blank line. As a former school counselor, I affirm with 100% certainty that puzzle-doers everywhere--from Middle School age through middle age and beyond (and educators of ALL AGES, especially), will find these XYZ-DoKu mystery message puzzles are a most effective learning tool. They are challenging, brain-enhancing, and so much fun to do, particularly in these most trying times.

Author: Steven S Skiena
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1848000707
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 742
Book Description
This newly expanded and updated second edition of the best-selling classic continues to take the "mystery" out of designing algorithms, and analyzing their efficacy and efficiency.

Cloud Computing
Author: Rajkumar Buyya
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118002202
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 607
Book Description
The primary purpose of this book is to capture the state-of-the-art in Cloud Computing technologies and applications. The book will also aim to identify potential research directions and technologies that will facilitate creation a global market-place of cloud computing services supporting scientific, industrial, business, and consumer applications. We expect the book to serve as a reference for larger audience such as systems architects, practitioners, developers, new researchers and graduate level students. This area of research is relatively recent, and as such has no existing reference book that addresses it. This book will be a timely contribution to a field that is gaining considerable research interest, momentum, and is expected to be of increasing interest to commercial developers. The book is targeted for professional computer science developers and graduate students especially at Masters level. As Cloud Computing is recognized as one of the top five emerging technologies that will have a major impact on the quality of science and society over the next 20 years, its knowledge will help position our readers at the forefront of the field.

Professor Stewart's Incredible Numbers
Author: Ian Stewart
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465042716
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Renowned mathematician Ian Stewart uses remarkable (and some unremarkable) numbers to introduce readers to the beauty of mathematics. At its heart, mathematics is about numbers, our fundamental tools for understanding the world. In Professor Stewart's Incredible Numbers, Ian Stewart offers a delightful introduction to the numbers that surround us, from the common (Pi and 2) to the uncommon but no less consequential (1.059463 and 43,252,003,274,489,856,000). Along the way, Stewart takes us through prime numbers, cubic equations, the concept of zero, the possible positions on the Rubik's Cube, the role of numbers in human history, and beyond! An unfailingly genial guide, Stewart brings his characteristic wit and erudition to bear on these incredible numbers, offering an engaging primer on the principles and power of math.

Interpreting Archaeological Topography
Author: David Cowley
Publisher: Oxbow Books Limited
ISBN: 9781842175163
Category : Archaeological surveying
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS), or lidar, is an enormously important innovation for data collection and interpretation in archaeology. The application of archaeological 3D data deriving from sources including ALS, close-range photogrammetry and terrestrial and photogrammetric scanners has grown exponentially over the last decade. Such data present numerous possibilities and challenges, from ensuring that applications remain archaeologically relevant, to developing practices that integrate the manipulation and interrogation of complex digital datasets with the skills of archaeological observation and interpretation. This volume addresses the implications of multi-scaled topographic data for contemporary archaeological practice in a rapidly developing field, drawing on examples of ongoing projects and reflections on best practice. Twenty papers from across Europe explore the implications of these digital 3D datasets for the recording and interpretation of archaeological topography, whether at the landscape, site or artifact scale. The papers illustrate the variety of ways in which we engage with archaeological topography through 3D data, from discussions of its role in landscape archaeology, to issues of context and integration, and to the methodological challenges of processing, visualization and manipulation. Critical reflection on developing practice and implications for cultural resource management and research contextualize the case studies and applications, illustrating the diverse and evolving roles played by multi-scalar topographic data in contemporary archaeology.

ISBN: 1316368289
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en

Book Description
The Cambridge History of Japanese Literature provides, for the first time, a history of Japanese literature with comprehensive coverage of the premodern and modern eras in a single volume. The book is arranged topically in a series of short, accessible chapters for easy access and reference, giving insight into both canonical texts and many lesser known, popular genres, from centuries-old folk literature to the detective fiction of modern times. The various period introductions provide an overview of recurrent issues that span many decades, if not centuries. The book also places Japanese literature in a wider East Asian tradition of Sinitic writing and provides comprehensive coverage of women's literature as well as new popular literary forms, including manga (comic books). An extensive bibliography of works in English enables readers to continue to explore this rich tradition through translations and secondary reading.
