David Poole's innovative LINEAR ALGEBRA: A MODERN INTRODUCTION, 4e emphasizes a vectors approach and better prepares students to make the transition from computational to theoretical mathematics. Balancing theory and applications, the book is written in a conversational style and combines a traditional presentation with a focus on student-centered learning. Theoretical, computational, and applied topics are presented in a flexible yet integrated way. Stressing geometric understanding before computational techniques, vectors and vector geometry are introduced early to help students visualize concepts and develop mathematical maturity for abstract thinking. Additionally, the book includes ample applications drawn from a variety of disciplines, which reinforce the fact that linear algebra is a valuable tool for modeling real-life problems.

A collection of essays devoted to the legal thought of Thomas Hobbes, arguably the greatest political philosopher to write in English.
Recent advances in the area of lifted inference, which exploits the structure inherent in relational probabilistic models. Statistical relational AI (StaRAI) studies the integration of reasoning under uncertainty with reasoning about individuals and relations. The representations used are often called relational probabilistic models. Lifted inference is about how to exploit the structure inherent in relational probabilistic models, either in the way they are expressed or by extracting structure from observations. This book covers recent significant advances in the area of lifted inference, providing a unifying introduction to this very active field. After providing necessary background on probabilistic graphical models, relational probabilistic models, and learning inside these models, the book turns to lifted inference, first covering exact inference and then approximate inference. In addition, the book considers the theory of liftability and acting in relational domains, which allows the connection of learning and reasoning in relational domains.
The story of two journalists whose entanglement in a French philosopher's death becomes a surreal journey into global conspiracy.
A weird and wonderful word and its meaning for every day of the year. Who knew that to dringle is to 'waste time in a lazy lingering manner'? Or that a sudden happy ending could be termed a eucotastrophe? Looking for an alternative word to 'bullshit'? Then try taradiddle. A Word for Every Day of the Year is a fascinating collection of 366 words and their definitions, perfect for anyone who loves the richness of the English language, its diversity and wants to expand their vocabulary. Each day offers a rare and remarkable word with its history and definition and occasionally a challenge to include it in our lives.
"David Poole: a life blighted by apartheid spans several decades, from the promulgation in 1948 of South Africa's notorius Race Laws through to Nelson Mandela's release from prison in 1991and the subsquent dawn of the new non-racial government of the Republic of South Africa. The Race Laws made it compulsory for all adult citizens to be classified as White, Coloured, Indian or Black, restricting them as to where they would be allowed to live, study or seek employment. This book highlights a few of those people of colour, who, in the face of adversity, were nevertheless able to enjoy successful careers in Britain, such as dancers David Poole and Johaar Mosaval with the Royal Ballet and the cricketer Basil d'Olivera with the MCC"--Back cover.
