First Course in Algorithms Through Puzzles
by Ryuhei UeharaThis textbook introduces basic algorithms and explains their analytical methods. All algorithms and methods introduced in this book are well known and frequently used in real programs. Intended to be self-contained, the contents start with the basic models, and no prerequisite knowledge is required. This book is appropriate for undergraduate students in computer science, mathematics, and engineering as a textbook, and is also appropriate for self-study by beginners who are interested in the fascinating field of algorithms. More than 40 exercises are distributed throughout the text, and their difficulty levels are indicated. Solutions and comments for all the exercises are provided in the last chapter. These detailed solutions will enable readers to follow the author’s steps to solve problems and to gain a better understanding of the contents. Although details of the proofs and the analyses of algorithms are also provided, the mathematical descriptions in this book are not beyond the range of high school mathematics. Some famous real puzzles are also used to describe the algorithms. These puzzles are quite suitable for explaining the basic techniques of algorithms, which show how to solve these puzzles.

First Look: Microsoft® Office 2010
by Katherine MurrayWelcome to Office 2010. Whether you work primarily in the office or on the go, you'll find smart tools in this release that enable you to get your work done easier, faster, and more professionally than ever. This book will inspire you and give you a good sense of the exciting features in Office 2010. This book was written while the software was in development, so you may find some variance in screen illustrations and procedures. Part I, "Envision the Possibilities," introduces you to the changes in Office 2010 and shows you how you can make the most of the new features to fit the way you work today. Chapter 1, "Welcome to Office 2010," gives you a play-by-play introduction to new features; Chapter 2, "Express Yourself Effectively and Efficiently," details the great feature enhancements and visual effects throughout the applications; and Chapter 3, "Work Anywhere with Office 2010," explores the flexibility factor by presenting a set of scenarios that enable users to complete their work no matter where their path takes them. Part II, "Hit the Ground Running," focuses on each of the Office 2010 applications in turn, spotlighting the key new features and showing how they relate to the whole. These chapters provide a how-to guide for many of the top features you're likely to use right off the bat, and they offer inspiring ideas on how to get the most from your favorite applications. Part III, "Next Steps with Office 2010," zooms up to the big picture and provides examples to help you think through interoperability. How often do you use the various Office applications together? Customer research shows that people often don't realize how well the applications work together as a complete system--which means they might be laboring over items they could easily incorporate from somewhere else. This part of the book provides examples for integrating the applications and explores Office 2010 security and training opportunities, as well.
First Person: New Media as Story, Performance, and Game
by Noah Wardrip-Fruin Pat HarriganYet it is widely believed that the market for electronic literature- predicted by some to be the future of the written word- languishes. Even bestselling author Stephen King achieved disappointing results with his online publication of "Riding the Bullet" and "The Plant." Isn't it possible, though, that many hugely successful computer games- those that depend on or at least utilize storytelling conventions of narrative, character, and theme- can be seen as examples of electronic literature? And isn't it likely that the truly significant new forms of electronic literature will prove to be (like games) so deeply interactive and procedural that it would be impossible to present them as paper-like "e-books"? The editors of First Person have gathered a remarkably diverse group of new media theorists and practitioners to consider the relationship between "story" and "game," as well as the new kinds of artistic creation (literary, performative, playful) that have become possible in the digital environment. This landmark collection is organized as a series of discussions among creators and theorists; each section includes three presentations, with each presentation followed by two responses. Topics considered range from "Cyberdrama" to "Ludology" (the study of games), to "The Pixel/The Line" to "Beyond Chat." The conversational structure inspired contributors to revise, update, and expand their presentations as they prepared them for the book, and the panel discussions have overflowed into a First Person website (created in conjunction with the online journal Electronic Book Review).

First-Principles and Machine Learning Study of Anharmonic Vibration and Dielectric Properties of Materials (Springer Theses)
by Tomohito AmanoThe book presents the author's development of two first-principles methods to calculate dielectric properties of materials based on anharmonic phonon and machine learning, and demonstrates an in-depth analysis of anharmonic crystals and molecular liquids. The anharmonic phonon method, combined with Born effective charges, is useful to study dielectric properties of crystals. The recently developed self-consistent phonon theory (SCPH) enables accurate simulations in strongly anharmonic materials. The author reveals that the combination of SCPH with the four-phonon scattering term accurately reproduces experimental spectra, and discusses how anharmonic phonon self-energies affect the dielectric properties. The second method is molecular dynamics with Wannier centers—the mass centers of Wannier functions. The author constructs a machine learning model that learns Wannier centers for each chemical bond from atomic coordinates to accurately predict the dipole moments. The developed method is, in principle, applicable to molecules of arbitrary size. Its effectiveness is demonstrated and the dielectric properties of several alcohols, including dipole moments, dielectric constants, and absorption spectra, are analyzed. This book benefits students and researchers interested in anharmonic phonons, machine learning, and dielectric properties.
First-order and Stochastic Optimization Methods for Machine Learning (Springer Series in the Data Sciences)
by Guanghui LanThis book covers not only foundational materials but also the most recent progresses made during the past few years on the area of machine learning algorithms. In spite of the intensive research and development in this area, there does not exist a systematic treatment to introduce the fundamental concepts and recent progresses on machine learning algorithms, especially on those based on stochastic optimization methods, randomized algorithms, nonconvex optimization, distributed and online learning, and projection free methods. This book will benefit the broad audience in the area of machine learning, artificial intelligence and mathematical programming community by presenting these recent developments in a tutorial style, starting from the basic building blocks to the most carefully designed and complicated algorithms for machine learning.

Five Design-Sheets: Creative Design and Sketching for Computing and Visualisation
by Christopher J. Headleand Jonathan C. Roberts Panagiotis D. RitsosThis book describes a structured sketching methodology to help you create alternative design ideas and sketch them on paper. The Five Design-Sheet method acts as a check-list of tasks, to help you think through the problem, create new ideas and to reflect upon the suitability of each idea. To complement the FdS method, we present practical sketching techniques, discuss problem solving, consider professional and ethical issues of designing interfaces, and work through many examples.Five Design-Sheets: Creative Design and Sketching for Computing and Visualization is useful for designers of computer interfaces, or researchers needing to explore alternative solutions in any field. It is written for anyone who is studying on a computing course and needs to design a computing-interface or create a well-structured design chapter for their dissertation, for example. We do acknowledge that throughout this book we focus on the creation of interactive software tools, and use the case study of building data-visualization tools. We have however, tried to keep the techniques general enough such that it is beneficial for a wide range of people, with different challenges and different situations, and for different applications.
