Download or read book The Craft of Probabilistic Modelling written by J. Gani and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the personal accounts and reflections of nineteen mathematical model-builders, whose specialty is probabilistic modelling. The reader may well wonder why, apart from personal interest, one should commission and edit such a collection of articles. There are, of course, many reasons, but perhaps the three most relevant are: (i) a philosophicaJ interest in conceptual models; this is an interest shared by everyone who has ever puzzled over the relationship between thought and reality; (ii) a conviction, not unsupported by empirical evidence, that probabilistic modelling has an important contribution to make to scientific research; and finally (iii) a curiosity, historical in its nature, about the complex interplay between personal events and the development of a field of mathematical research, namely applied probability. Let me discuss each of these in turn. Philosophical Abstraction, the formation of concepts, and the construction of conceptual models present us with complex philosophical problems which date back to Democritus, Plato and Aristotle. We have all, at one time or another, wondered just how we think; are our thoughts, concepts and models of reality approxim&tions to the truth, or are they simply functional constructs helping us to master our environment? Nowhere are these problems more apparent than in mathematical model ling, where idealized concepts and constructions replace the imperfect realities for which they stand.

Download or read book American Sucker written by David Denby and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2005-04-07 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early 2000 the bottom dropped out of the life of writer David Denby when his wife decided to leave him. Propelled to make some money quickly, and seized by the 'irrational exuberance' of the stock market, then approaching its peak, Denby enthusiastically joined the investment frenzy. Over the next few months he listened raptly to bullish stock analysts, dreamy hi-tech gurus and boastful heads of companies. He plunged into a season of mania and was swept forward on currents of hope, greed and hucksterism - with cataclysmic results. American Sucker is a mesmerising account of those years of madness. What begins as a money chase and an engagement with rampant capitalism soon becomes an encounter with such timeless issues as love, envy, true value - and life and death itself. This is a classic tale of the bubble related not by a market guru or an investment professional but by a witty, perceptive and eloquent outsider.
Download or read book On Being Female Black and Free written by Margaret Walker and published by Univ Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These highly personal essays, written over the course of six decades, reveal the woman as well as the artist, capturing the independent creative spirit of this literary icon. In accessible and stirring prose, Walker speaks directly about her own experiences - such as growing up in a deeply religious home, living in the Jim Crow South, marrying and raising a family, and becoming a civil rights activist. These essays also offer Walker's critical perspectives on a wide range of topics, from the role of the black woman artist to the distinctiveness of African American cultural life and to the importance of education in the fight for political change. Maryemma Graham's introduction provides a historical context for the essays, placing Walker's work within the African American literary canon. Walker reflects on the numerous poets and writers she has known over the years, including Zora Neale Hurston, Eudora Welty, Carson McCullers, and Richard Wright. A work of broad general appeal, On Being Female, Black, and Free offers a powerful introduction to the work of an essential American literary figure.

Download or read book Dream Quartet written by June Ballantyne and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I received four stories over a few months from dreams that came over a period of days and stayed in my mind until I wrote them down, and others via my subconscious. When I was sitting in my car at the beach and events happened that forced me to go home and sit at my computer, the stories came at great speed into my mind, and I typed them out and read them afterwards. The first is about a young girl who has moved to London for her new job working for the government. She meets a young gypsy who wants to tell her something. They have a connection, and events lead her to join him in the summer at the gypsy encampment, where she learns of her true family. Her life changes from there. The second story, again from a dream over a period of days, is a love story. A girl has a past that gets in the way. The third story I love. I was sitting in my car at the beach and words ran across the book I was trying to read. I drove home, and before I arrived at my door, the words were pushing their way into my head. I sat and typed as fast as my fingers could keep me going, and then it ended. I did not know what I wrote, so I read the story: an amusing plan by six young adults to have a mystery holiday, while at the same time creating fun things for each of them to do while waiting for clues at their hotel, each one filled with mischief. It had an amusing twist for the ending. However, that night I had to get up and go to my computer and continue with a second part to the story. I really enjoyed it. The final story was very emotional for me. There was heartache, the mystery of where your soul goes after death, how life continues on a new path, and who is in charge.
