From the team behind Computer Science for Fun (cs4fn), The Power of Computational Thinking shows that learning to think can be fascinating fun.Yes, and this book shows you how.Computational thinking has changed the way we all live, work and play. It has changed the way science is done too; won wars, created whole new industries and saved lives. It is at the heart of computer programming and is a powerful approach to problem solving, with or without computers. It is so important that many countries now require that primary school children learn the skills.Professors Paul Curzon and Peter McOwan of Queen Mary University of London have written a unique and enjoyable introduction. They describe ...
The team behind Computer Science for Fun (CS4FN), brings you Conjuring with Computation: A Manual of Magic and Computing for Beginners. Develop your skills as a magician while also learning the basics of computer science by exploring its links to magic. Each chapter explains how to do a simple magic trick, step-by-step, then uses the trick to introduce linked fundamental ideas in computer science in a fun way.By reading the book you will learn to do self-working tricks, be able to hold magic shows, create your own versions of tricks, and with creativity even invent your own. We cover:The book includes profiles of computer scientists, alongside magicians with links to technology, through history.Master conjuring and thinking computationally.
This volume presents the proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Higher Order Logic Theorem Proving and Its Applications held in Valetta, Malta in September 1994. Besides 3 invited papers, the proceedings contains 27 refereed papers selected from 42 submissions. In total the book presents many new results by leading researchers working on the design and applications of theorem provers for higher order logic. In particular, this book gives a thorough state-of-the-art report on applications of the HOL system, one of the most widely used theorem provers for higher order logic.
This volume contains the proceedings of LPAR '92, the international conference on logic programming and automated reasoning held in St. Petersburg in July 1992. The aim of the conference was to bring together researchers from the Russian and the international logic programming and theorem proving communities. The topics of interest covered by papers inthe volume include automated theorem proving, non-monotonic reasoning, applications of mathematical logic to computer science, deductive databases, implementation of declarative concepts, and programming in non-classical logics. LPAR '92 is the successor of the First and Second Russian Conferences on Logic Programming held in 1990 and 1991, respectively, the proceedings of which were publishedin LNAI Vol. 592.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Higher Order Logic Theorem Proving and Its Applications, held in Aspen Grove, Utah, USA in September 1995. The 26 papers selected by the program committee for inclusion in this volume document the advances in the field achieved since the predecessor conference. The papers presented fall into three general categories: representation of formalisms in higher order logic; applications of mechanized higher order logic; and enhancements to the HOL and other theorem proving systems.
The contents of this book are mainly based on ideas discussed within the framework of the 2016 International Conference on Typography and Visual Communication (ICTVC). This event was initiated at the beginning of the new millennium and has since developed into an internationally respected event. The chapters included in this volume provide evidence of visual communication as an established discipline where critical research informs design practice, printing history lays the foundations for future projects, and professional practice benefits from cross-disciplinary collaborations. The anthology investigates both current and future challenges and priorities in the field of design for visual communication, and will serve to provide a vivid spark to start a discourse in this regard. It will become a working tool and reference point for people interested in studying and researching typography and visual communication.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2014, held as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2014, which took place in Grenoble, France, in April 2014. The 28 papers included in this volume, together with one invited talk, were carefully reviewed and selected from 125 submissions. They have been organized in topical sections on: modeling and model transformation; time and performance; static analysis; scenario-based specification; software verification; analysis and repair; verification and validation; graph transformation and debugging and testing.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods, IFM 2004, held in Canterbury, UK, in April 2004. The 24 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers and one invited tutorial chapter were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. The papers are devoted to automating program analysis, state/event-based verification, formalizing graphical notions, refinement, object-orientation, hybrid and timed automata, integration frameworks, verifying interactive systems, and testing and assertions.
This volume focuses on the literary connotations of the 'Channel Packet' and sets forth lively dialogues between French and British culture at a key period of artistic innovation and exchange between 'high' and popular art forms.
For the last 20 years the dominant form of user interface has been the Graphical User Interface (GUl) with direct manipulation. As software gets more complicated and more and more inexperienced users come into contact with computers, enticed by the World Wide Web and smaller mobile devices, new interface metaphors are required. The increasing complexity of software has introduced more options to the user. This seemingly increased control actually decreases control as the number of options and features available to them overwhelms the users and 'information overload' can occur (Lachman, 1997). Conversational anthropomorphic interfaces provide a possible alternative to the direct manipulation ...
