Download or read book Mathematical Difficulties written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2008-07-25 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the mathematical difficulties in typical and atypical populations. It discusses the behavioural, educational and neuropsychological characteristics of people with mathematical difficulties, and educational interventions to prevent, diagnose, treat or ameliorate such difficulties. The book brings together studies from different disciplines, including developmental psychology, neuroscience and education, and includes perspectives from practicing teachers.The book is divided into three major sections. The first includes chapters about the nature and characteristics of mathematical difficulties in the population as a whole, in relation to both psychology and education. The second deals with mathematical difficulties in children with other problems such as specific language impairment and dyslexia. The third discusses methods of interventions aimed at preventing, treating or ameliorating mathematical difficulties, and will include discussions of assessment and diagnosis.

Download or read book The Art of Prolog second edition written by Leon S. Sterling and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1994-03-10 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of The Art of Prolog contains a number of important changes. Most background sections at the end of each chapter have been updated to take account of important recent research results, the references have been greatly expanded, and more advanced exercises have been added which have been used successfully in teaching the course. Part II, The Prolog Language, has been modified to be compatible with the new Prolog standard, and the chapter on program development has been significantly altered: the predicates defined have been moved to more appropriate chapters, the section on efficiency has been moved to the considerably expanded chapter on cuts and negation, and a new section has been added on stepwise enhancement—a systematic way of constructing Prolog programs developed by Leon Sterling. All but one of the chapters in Part III, Advanced Prolog Programming Techniques, have been substantially changed, with some major rearrangements. A new chapter on interpreters describes a rule language and interpreter for expert systems, which better illustrates how Prolog should be used to construct expert systems. The chapter on program transformation is completely new and the chapter on logic grammars adds new material for recognizing simple languages, showing how grammars apply to more computer science examples.
Download or read book The Day Lincoln Was Shot written by Jim Bishop and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Day Lincoln Was Shot is a gripping, minute-by-minute account of April 14, 1865: the day President Abraham Lincoln was tragically assassinated. It chronicles the movements of Lincoln and his assassin John Wilkes Booth during every movement of that fateful day. Author and journalist Jim Bishop has fashioned an unforgettable tale of tragedy, more gripping than fiction, more alive than any newspaper account.

Download or read book The OPL Optimization Programming Language written by Pascal Van Hentenryck and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1999 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OPL (Optimization Programming Language) is a new modeling language for combinatorial optimization that simplifies the formulation and solution of optimization problems. Perhaps the most significant dimension of OPL is the support for constraint programming, including sophisticated search specifications, logical and higher order constraints, and support for scheduling and resource allocation applications. This book, written by the developer of OPL, is a comprehensive introduction to the OPL programming language and its application to problems in linear and integer programming, constraint programming, and scheduling. Readers should be familiar with combinatorial optimization, at least from an application standpoint.
Download or read book Algorithms for Global Positioning written by Gilbert Strang and published by Wellesley-Cambridge Press. This book was released on 2012-05-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of satellite technology has changed the lives of millions of people. In particular, GPS has brought an unprecedented level of accuracy to the field of geodesy. This text is a guide to the algorithms and mathematical principles that account for the success of GPS technology and replaces the authors' previous work, Linear Algebra, Geodesy, and GPS (1997). An initial discussion of the basic concepts, characteristics and technical aspects of different satellite systems is followed by the necessary mathematical content which is presented in a detailed and self-contained fashion. At the heart of the matter are the positioning algorithms on which GPS technology relies, the discussion of which will affirm the mathematical contents of the previous chapters. Numerous ready-to-use MATLAB codes are included for the reader. This comprehensive guide will be invaluable for engineers and academic researchers who wish to master the theory and practical application of GPS technology.
Download or read book Sudokus Puzzel Book written by M a Flowers and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the years, Sudoku has become so popular a game that many variants have sprung from its original 9x9 grid puzzle. From the classic 9x9 grid puzzle, the 16x16 Sudoku puzzle was inspired. This made playing Sudoku more challenging for those who take time to complete it. Although both the 16x16 and 9x9 Sudoku puzzles have game rules that are quite identical to each other, we can still find little differences between them. Let us take a closer look at the ways on how to play this particular Sudoku puzzle variant and how it differs from the classic 9x9 grid Sudoku puzzle.In terms of rules, there is not much difference between the classic 9x9 Sudoku puzzle and the 16x16 grid puzzle. You still have to see to it that no number should appear more than once on every row, column, and sub-square. Thus, in a 16x16 puzzle, the numbers 1 to 16 should be written and placed only once on each of those said places.

Within each of these categories there are Easy, Tricky, Tough and Diabolical puzzle ratings; and each puzzle is clearly identified with the rating. More than just a listing of puzzles, Sudoku For Dummies, Volume 3 features a chapter explaining how to solve puzzles and the strategies involved. Additionally, readers receive all puzzle solutions in the back of the book. Finally, Sudoku For Dummies, Volume 3 includes a brief history of Sudoku (or Su Doku) for those interested. Descriptions of the puzzles are listed below. Circular Sudoku (10 included: 3 Easy, 3 Tricky, 2 Tough, and 2 Diabolical) The rules are similar to the normal 9x9 Sudoku but with some important differences. The puzzle is circular for a start, with 8 concentric rings. Each ring must contain the numbers 1-8 and each segment running into the centre of the circle and through to the opposite side of the circle must contain the numbers 1 - 8 and or course there can be no duplicate numbers! 16 x 16 Sudoku (10 included: 3 Easy, 3 Tricky, 2 Tough, and 2 Diabolical) The grid is larger at 16 x 16 and solvers must fit the letters A-F into the grid alongside the numbers 0-9. 16 x 16 Sudoku are more difficult, take more time and are more infuriating than the normal puzzles - but just as addictive!
