This volume presents the first complete edition of Oxford, MS Marsh 539, a hitherto unpublished philosophy reader compiled anonymously in the eastern Islamic world in the eleventh century. The compilation consists of texts on metaphysics, physiology andethics, providing excerpts from Arabic versions of Greek philosophical works (Aristotle, Plotinus, Galen) and works by Arabic authors.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/35ac9e2b/a-philosophy-reader-from-the-circle-of-miskawayh-elvira-wakelnig-9780521193610.jpg|9780521193610|A Philosophy Reader from the Circle of Miskawayh : Hardback : Cambridge University Press : 9780521193610 : 30 Jan 2014 : An anthology of metaphysics, physiology and ethics compiled anonymously in the Islamic world in the eleventh century.

Yet most such problems are NP-hard; unless P = NP, there are no efficient algorithms to find optimal solutions. This book shows how to design approximation algorithms: efficient algorithms that find provably near-optimal solutions. The book is organized around central algorithmic techniques for designing approximation algorithms, including greedy and local search algorithms, dynamic programming, linear and semidefinite programming, and randomization. Each chapter in the first section is devoted to a single algorithmic technique applied to several different problems, with more sophisticated treatment in the second section. The book also covers methods for proving that optimization problems are hard to approximate. Designed as a textbook for graduate-level algorithm courses, it will also serve as a reference for researchers interested in the heuristic solution of discrete optimization problems.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/91246f5c/the-design-of-approximation-algorithms-david-p-williamson-9780521195270.jpg|9780521195270|The Design of Approximation Algorithms : Hardback : Cambridge University Press : 9780521195270 : 26 Apr 2011 : Designed as a textbook for graduate courses on algorithms, this book will also serve as a reference for researchers interested in heuristic ...|new|1|1|999|51.99|0|GBP|David P.

In this book Sukanta Chaudhuri explores, at a very fundamental level, how texts are constituted and how they work. He applies insights from many lines of study not brought together so closely before: theories of language, signification and reception alongside bibliography, textual criticism, editorial theory and book history. Blending case studies with general observation and theory, he considers the implications of the physical form of the text; the relation between oral and written language, and between language and other media; the new territory opened up by electronic texts; and special categories like play-books and translations. Drawing on an exceptionally wide range of material, both Western literature and Indian works from Sanskrit aesthetics to the poetry of Rabindranath Tagore, Chaudhuri sets a new agenda for the study of texts.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/4fac9dad/the-metaphysics-of-text-sukanta-chaudhuri-9780521197960.jpg|9780521197960|The Metaphysics of Text : Hardback : Cambridge University Press : 9780521197960 : 11 Mar 2010 : In this book Sukanta Chaudhuri explores how texts are constituted and how they work, applying insights from theories of language, signification and recepti ...|new|1|1|7|67.00|0|GBP|Sukanta Chaudhuri|Cambridge University Press|11 Mar 2010|Literary studies: general 9780521195348|God and Logic in Islam|73.35|https://wordery.com/god-and-logic-in-islam-john-walbridge-9780521195348|This book investigates the central role of reason in Islamic intellectual life. Despite widespread characterization of Islam as a system of belief based only on revelation, John Walbridge argues that rational methods, not fundamentalism, have characterized Islamic law, philosophy and education since the medieval period. His research demonstrates that this medieval Islamic rational tradition was opposed by both modernists and fundamentalists, resulting in a general collapse of traditional Islamic intellectual life and its replacement by more modern but far shallower forms of thought. However, the resources of this Islamic scholarly tradition remain an integral part of the Islamic intellectual tradition and will prove vital to its revival. The future of Islam, Walbridge argues, will be marked by a return to rationalism.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/96a8b0ff/god-and-logic-in-islam-john-walbridge-9780521195348.jpg|9780521195348|God and Logic in Islam : Hardback : Cambridge University Press : 9780521195348 : 15 Nov 2010 : This book investigates the central role of reason in Islamic intellectual life, arguing that rational methods, not fundamentalism, have characterized Islami ...|new|1|1|999|77.00|0|GBP|John Walbridge|Cambridge University Press|15 Nov 2010|Islamic theology 9780521198158|Negative Binomial Regression|66.60|https://wordery.com/negative-binomial-regression-joseph-m-hilbe-9780521198158|This second edition of Hilbe's Negative Binomial Regression is a substantial enhancement to the popular first edition. The only text devoted entirely to the negative binomial model and its many variations, nearly every model discussed in the literature is addressed. The theoretical and distributional background of each model is discussed, together with examples of their construction, application, interpretation, and evaluation. Complete Stata and R code are provided throughout the text, with additional code (plus SAS), derivations, and data provided on the book's website. Written for the practicing researcher, the text begins with an examination of risk and rate ratios, and of the estimating algorithms used to model count data. The book then gives an in-depth analysis of Poisson regression and an evaluation of the meaning and nature of overdispersion, followed by a comprehensive analysis of the negative binomial distribution and of its parameterizations into various models for evaluating count data"-- Books, [PU: Cambridge University Press]<
