Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international phenomenon that has sold more than two million copies, If Cats Disappeared from the World--now a Japanese film--is a heartwarming, funny, and profound meditation on the meaning of life. This timeless tale from Genki Kawamura (producer of the Japanese blockbuster animated movie Your Name) is a moving story of loss and reconciliation, and of one man’s journey to discover what really matters most in life. The young postman’s days are numbered. Estranged from his family and living alone with only his cat, Cabbage, to keep him company, he was unprepared for the doctor’s diagnosis that he has only months to live. But before he can tackle his bucket list, the devil shows up to make him an offer: In exchange for making one thing in the world disappear, the postman will be granted one extra day of life. And so begins a very strange week that brings the young postman and his beloved cat to the brink of existence. With each object that disappears, the postman reflects on the life he’s lived, his joys and regrets, and the people he’s loved and lost.

Download or read book Disappearing War written by Christina Hellmich and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battles fought in the name of the 'war on terror' have re-ignited questions about the changing nature of war, and the experience of war for those geographically distant from its real world consequences. What is missing from our highly mediated experience of war? What are the intentional and unintentional processes of erasure through which the distortion happens? What are their consequences? Cinema is a key site at which questions about our highly mediated experience of war can be addressed or, more significantly, elided. Looking at a range of films that have provoked debate, from award-winning features like Zero Dark Thirty and American Sniper, to documentaries like Kill List and Dirty Wars, as well as at the work of visual artists like Harun Farocki and Omer Fast, this book examines the practices of erasure in the cinematic representation of recent military interventions. Drawing on representations of war-related death, dying and bodily damage, this provocative collection addresses 'what's missing' in existing scholarly responses to modern warfare; in film studies, as well as in politics and international relations.
Download or read book Mathematics for Informatics and Computer Science written by Pierre Audibert and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many ways do exist to mix different ingredients, how many chances to win a gambling game, how many possible paths going from one place to another in a network ? To this kind of questions Mathematics applied to computer gives a stimulating and exhaustive answer. This text, presented in three parts (Combinatorics, Probability, Graphs) addresses all those who wish to acquire basic or advanced knowledge in combinatorial theories. It is actually also used as a textbook. Basic and advanced theoretical elements are presented through simple applications like the Sudoku game, search engine algorithm and other easy to grasp applications. Through the progression from simple to complex, the teacher acquires knowledge of the state of the art of combinatorial theory. The non conventional simultaneous presentation of algorithms, programs and theory permits a powerful mixture of theory and practice. All in all, the originality of this approach gives a refreshing view on combinatorial theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Computer Algebra Computer algebra, also known as symbolic computation or algebraic computation, is a subfield of computer science and mathematics that relates to the research and development of algorithms and software for the purpose of manipulating mathematical expressions and other mathematical objects. Other names for computer algebra include algebraic computation and symbolic computing. Scientific computing is typically based on numerical computation with approximate floating point numbers, whereas symbolic computation places an emphasis on exact computation with expressions containing variables that have no given value and are manipulated as symbols. Despite the fact that computer algebra could be considered a subfield of scientific computing, the two are generally regarded as separate fields. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Computer algebra Chapter 2: Symbolic artificial intelligence Chapter 3: Algebraic geometry Chapter 4: Automated theorem proving Chapter 5: Computer algebra system Chapter 6: Computer-assisted proof Chapter 7: Model checking Chapter 8: Proof assistant Chapter 9: Symbolic-numeric computation Chapter 10: Symbolic simulation (II) Answering the public top questions about computer algebra. (III) Real world examples for the usage of computer algebra in many fields. (IV) 17 appendices to explain, briefly, 266 emerging technologies in each industry to have 360-degree full understanding of computer algebra' technologies.
