Download or read book The Almighty Chance written by I?Akov Borisovich Zel?dovich and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1990 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the importance of random phenomena occurring in nature. Cases are selected in which randomness is most important or crucial, such as Brownian motion, certain reactions in Physical Chemistry and Biology, and intermittency in magnetic field generation by turbulent fluid motion, etc. Due to ?almighty chance? the structures can originate from chaos even in linear problems. This idea is complementary as well as competes with a basic concept of synergetics where structures appear mainly due to the pan-linear nature of phenomena. This book takes a new look at the problem of structure formation in random media, qualitative physical representation of modern conceptions, intermittency, fractals, percolation and many examples from different fields of science.
Download or read book Chance Calculation and Life written by Thierry Gaudin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chance, Calculation and Life brings together 16 original papers from the colloquium of the same name, organized by the International Cultural Center of Cerisy in 2019. From mathematics to the humanities and biology, there are many concepts and questions related to chance. What are the different types of chance? Does chance correspond to a lack of knowledge about the causes of events, or is there a truly intrinsic and irreducible chance? Does chance preside over our decisions? Does it govern evolution? Is it at the origin of life? What part do chance and necessity play in biology? This book answers these fundamental questions by bringing together the clear and richly documented contributions of mathematicians, physicists, biologists and philosophers who make this book an incomparable tool for work and reflection.
Download or read book Truth Possibility and Probability written by R. Chuaqui and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1991-06-20 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone involved in the philosophy of science is naturally drawn into the study of the foundations of probability. Different interpretations of probability, based on competing philosophical ideas, lead to different statistical techniques, and frequently to mutually contradictory consequences. This unique book presents a new interpretation of probability, rooted in the traditional interpretation that was current in the 17th and 18th centuries. Mathematical models are constructed based on this interpretation, and statistical inference and decision theory are applied, including some examples in artificial intelligence, solving the main foundational problems. Nonstandard analysis is extensively developed for the construction of the models and in some of the proofs. Many nonstandard theorems are proved, some of them new, in particular, a representation theorem that asserts that any stochastic process can be approximated by a process defined over a space with equiprobable outcomes.

Download or read book Key Account Management written by Peter Cheverton and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2008-05-03 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key Account Management is a highly practical book with a unique yet simple planning methodology for identifying, obtaining, retaining and developing key customers - the lifeblood of any organization. Fully re-written to reflect the most recent trends and challenges, this new edition will reinforce its standing as the premier book on the subject. Very few books take the long-term, team-selling strategic view of KAM that this book takes, and it is the only book which focuses on implementation rather than theory. Based on real and current experience of companies facing the challenge, it provides tools for use in the real world that will help you to plan your own strategy as you proceed. The case studies span the full breadth of the KAM experience: FMCG, Retail, B2B, Petrochemical, Speciality Chemical, Service Industry, Pharmaceutical, IT and Financial Services. With a CDROM containing ready-to-use application tools, Key Account Management has found a global resonance with business practitioners, whilst also establishing itself on many academic reading lists.

Download or read book On Social Structure and Science written by Robert K. Merton and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1996-09-15 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert K. Merton is unarguably one of the most influential sociologists of his time. A figure whose wide-ranging theoretical and methodological contributions have become fundamental to the field, Merton is best known for introducing such concepts and procedures as unanticipated consequences, self-fulfilling prophecies, focused group interviews, middle-range theory, opportunity structure, and analytic paradigms. This definitive compilation encompasses the breadth and brilliance of his works, from the earliest to the most recent. Merton's foundational writings on social structure and process, on the sociology of science and knowledge, and on the discipline and trajectory of sociology itself are all powerfully represented, as are his autobiographical insights in a fascinating coda. Anchored by Piotr Sztompka's contextualizing introduction, Merton's vast oeuvre emerges as a dynamic and profoundly coherent system of thought, a constant source of vitality and renewal for present and future sociology.

Book excerpt: This classic introduction to probability theory for beginning graduate students covers laws of large numbers, central limit theorems, random walks, martingales, Markov chains, ergodic theorems, and Brownian motion. It is a comprehensive treatment concentrating on the results that are the most useful for applications. Its philosophy is that the best way to learn probability is to see it in action, so there are 200 examples and 450 problems. The fourth edition begins with a short chapter on measure theory to orient readers new to the subject.

Download or read book The Architecture of Chance written by Richard Lowry and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1989 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undergraduate textbooks for statistics courses in the behavioral, biological, and social sciences must devote so much space to the nuts-and-bolts details of statistical methods that they have little left over for the larger conceptual framework of probability theory. This brief, lucid book fills the gap with its intelligible and in-depth explanation of probability, laid out step-by-step in a clear and congenial fashion. Even the student with little background in mathematics will find it readable and accessible.
