by Z. Michalewicz (Author), M. Michalewicz (Author)What is missing in most curricula - from elementary school all the way through to university education - is coursework focused on the development of problem-solving skills. Most students never learn how to think about solving problems. Besides being a lot of fun, a puzzle-based learning approach also does a remarkable job of convincing students that (a) science is useful and interesting, (b) the basic courses they take are relevant, (c) mathe...

When anger is understood in its original purpose, we grasp how it may work for our benefit. This book provides a new understanding of anger and its valuable place in our lives. 'The first third of the book describes my understanding of anger from a Biblical perspective. The second par...

Causality and Probability in the Sciences - Paperback

$59.04

by F. Russo (Editor), J. Williamson (Editor)Causal inference is perhaps the most important form of reasoning in the sciences. A panoply of disciplines, ranging from epidemiology to biology, from econometrics to physics, make use of probability and statistics in order to infer causal relationships. However, the very foundations of causal inference are up in the air; it is by no means clear which methods of causal inference should be used, nor why they work when they do. This book brings philos...

Classification Theory for Abstract Elementary Classes - Paperback

$58.32

by Saharon Shelah (Author)An abstract elementary class is a class of structures of the same vocabulary (like a class of rings, or a class of fields), with a partial order that generalizes the relation "A is a substructure (or an elementary substructure) of B". The requirements are that the class is closed under isomorphism, and that isomorphic structures have isomorphic (generalized) substructures; we also require that our classes share some of the most basic properties of elementary classes,...

Classification Theory for Abstract Elementary Classes: Volume 2 - Paperback

$58.32

by Saharon Shelah (Author)An abstract elementary class (AEC) is a class of structures of a fixed vocabulary satisfying some natural closure properties. These classes encompass the normal classes defined in model theory and natural examples arise from mathematical practice, e.g. in algebra not to mention first order and infinitary logics. An AEC is always endowed with a special substructure relation which is not always the obvious one. Abstract elementary classes provide one way out of the cul...
