Developed from over twenty years of workshops, this book offers a beginner-friendly approach to programming and computational modeling. It emphasizes practical applications, making it accessible for newcomers while providing valuable insights for those looking to enhance their skills in these fields.
Focusing on coping strategies for difficult life experiences, this book draws from 30 years of pastoral experience and counseling. It likens emotional struggles to layers of paint that influence future coping mechanisms. Key life events such as dating, marriage, divorce, conflict resolution, and loss are explored, offering insights and guidance for both personal healing and supporting others. The book serves as a resource for those navigating complex emotions and challenges, providing practical advice for overcoming various life obstacles.
The updated edition features expanded content with additional applications, examples, and exercises, all accompanied by solutions. Notably, it includes two new chapters focusing on neural networks and simulation, enhancing its relevance for current studies and practices in the field.
The second edition of this textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to continuous and discrete dynamical systems, drawing motivation from diverse real-world examples. It places a strong emphasis on practical applications and includes simulations using MATLAB, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals across various disciplines.
This book provides an introduction to the theory of dynamical systems with the aid of the Mathematica computer algebra package. The book has a very hands-on approach and takes the reader from basic theory to recently published research material. Emphasized throughout are numerous applications to biology, chemical kinetics, economics, electronics, epidemiology, nonlinear optics, mechanics, population dynamics, and neural networks. Theorems and proofs are kept to a minimum. The first section deals with continuous systems using ordinary differential equations, while the second part is devoted to the study of discrete dynamical systems.
Focusing on both continuous and discrete dynamical systems, this textbook offers a practical approach that guides readers from foundational theory to advanced research areas, including nonlinear ordinary differential equations and neural networks. Utilizing Python's powerful visualization and simulation capabilities, it explores nonlinear dynamical systems through numerical algorithms and illustrative diagrams, making complex concepts accessible and engaging for learners.
The guide offers an in-depth exploration of the play's textual history and contextual influences, alongside a thorough analysis of its dramatic structure. It provides a detailed plot summary and examines major themes and critical interpretations. Additionally, it highlights significant productions spanning from the 16th to the 20th century, making it a valuable resource for understanding the play's evolution and impact over time.
This book is aimed at pre-university students and complete novices to programming. After introducing Python as a powerful calculator, simple programming constructs are covered and the NumPy, MatPlotLib and SymPy modules (libraries) are introduced.
