Introduction to Functional Programming, Haskell 1.3 (Prentice Hall Series in Computer Science)

PRENTICE/HALL

After the success of the first edition of Introduction to Functional Programming, the authors have thoroughly updated and revised this bestselling title. This book is unusual amongst books on functional programming in that it is primarily directed towards the concepts of functional programming, rather than their realization in a specific programming language. The book clearly expounds the construction of functional programs as a process of mathematical calculation, but the mathematics is restricted to that relevant to the actual construction of programs.

Computer Science

This is the 100th. book in the Prentice Hall International Series in Computer Science. It's main purpose is to show how to calculate programs. Describing an algebraic approach to programming based on a categorical calculus of relations, Algebra of Programming is suitable for the derivation of individual programs, and for the study of programming principles in general. The programming principles discussed are those paradigms and strategies of program construction that form the core of Algorithm Design. Examples of such principles include: dynamic programming, greedy algorithms, exhaustive search, and divide-and-conquer.The fundamentsl ideas of the algebraic approach are illustrated by an extensive study of optimisation problems.

Moor, Oege De

Why, in a scientific age, do people routinely turn to astrologers, mediums, cultists, and every kind of irrational practitioner rather than to science to meet their spiritual needs? The answer, according to Richard J. Bird, is that science, especially biology, has embraced a view of life that renders meaningless the coincidences, serendipities, and other seemingly significant occurrences that fill people's everyday existence. Evolutionary biology rests on the assumption that although events are fundamentally random, some are selected because they are better adapted than others to the surrounding world. This book proposes an alternative view of evolving complexity. Bird argues that randomness means not disorder but infinite order. Complexity arises not from many random events of natural selection (although these are not unimportant) but from the "playing out" of chaotic systems―which are best described mathematically. When we properly understand the complex interplay of chaos and life, Bird contends, we will see that many events that appear random are actually the outcome of order.

Create a vertical garden, whether you have a tiny patio or a larger plot, with this highly practical, richly illustrated reference. If you long for climbing plants to mask unsightly buildings, to mark garden boundaries, or strictly for aesthetic reasons--roses tumbling over a fence, or clematis screening a gazebo--the authoritative, jargon-free tips and illuminating photographs target exactly what you need to know. Inspirational planting schemes and plans help both beginners and experts realize the potential of space and shape, while dozens of topic-based spreads present a wealth of vertical gardening projects and advice, including: * training and pruning climbing plants * installing trellises * coordinating color and foliage * planting a scented bower * creating and maintaining topiaries. A directory of more than 250 plants specially selected for height in the garden and 50 photographic sequences further enhance this indispensable gardening tool.

Foliage--the often overlooked basis of a garden--brings an exciting range of shapes and textures, as well as a long-lasting green backdrop. It's one of the most important features you'll choose--so do it wisely. From striking climbers to subtle background plants, add architectural features, scent, and sound to your outdoor space. Coordinate color and foliage creatively; select specimens for focal points; complement garden sculptures; even build topiary!

Water is almost magical, an attraction to the eye and the ear--and even the most modest garden can showcase a water feature, along with a wide selection of plants that thrive in this damp environment. Whether you're creating a miniature pond, fountain, natural pool and bog garden, or cascade, you'll find out about edging; fish to stock; buying, preparing, and planting the right flowers and foliage; and wildlife. A plant directory covers submerged and deepwater varieties, water lilies, marginals, and more.
