Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (Information Science and Statistics)

Christopher M. Bishop

Springer, 2007

Probably the best book for machine learning
I am a PhD student in machine learning. Bishop is really gifted and he explains very well basic and advanced concepts of machine learning. I would say that this book is much more comprehensive than Hastie's Statistical learning book The Elements of Statistical Learning. Very good illustrations and very complete. I would definitely recommend it for those who want to learn statistical/machine ...

The Best on Nikola Tesla
Without a doubt the most comprehensive book I have read on Mr. Tesla's life. This edition is meant for that reader who wants very detailed events and accomplishments about the scientist life. Mr. Seifer's research about Nikola Tesla's early life, his early school years, formal education and subsequent acquaintances establishes an overall base on which the reader can reference easily as the book ...

Homer and his friends kept trying until they had success. Thank you for sharing your ...

Touchstone, 2001

Excellent biography!
After reading this book, I truly feel like I have gotten to know Tesla on a personal level. I feel the author does a superb job of conveying Tesla's personal side, as well as his many unbelievable professional achievements. The author combines many stories of his personal life with how these led to his brilliant inventions and does it in such a way that I could not help but to admire Tesla's ...

Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers (Dover Books on Advanced Mathematics)

Stanley J. Farlow

Dover Publications, 1993

An engineer's review
I'm a Mechanical Engineer and I wanted to deeper understand some aspects related to differential equations. Sometimes, when one finishes University, he knows many concepts about mathematical topics, but without having a clear idea about their real meaning and their different ways to be used. Every time, if one does not have a strong knowledge about Mathematic tools, he cannot apply and ...

High Performance Web Sites: Essential Knowledge for Front-End Engineers

Steve Souders

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007

High Performance Web Sites
I remember when I first started using the Internet. Dial ups were extremely slow at the time, so I'd type in a URL, then go make a sandwich. By the time I came back, hopefully the page would be loaded. Today, we expect more. Often if a page takes more than a few moments to load, I don't bother. I tend to equate professional with quick. If a site doesn't load quickly or if parts of the page ...

Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook, Eighth Edition (Chemical Engineers Handbook)

Don W. Green, Robert H. Perry

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2007

This is so funny
Check out what that kid wrote on October 25, 1999. He gave the book one star. Someone find him and tell him how much of an idiot he is. He wrote the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Who the hell reads Perry's cover to cover. Is he really that dumb just go buy a book about making bombs if you want to "make bombs". Another thing any normal person would realize after the first million pages is ...

26 reviews
Carol Barton

Popular Kinetics Press, 2005

Clever Book Design, and Useful too!
The perfect book for a beginner. As a bonus, the book itself has a fantastic design concept. It presents an example, then you can tear out a card with the pattern for that example, and when you finish, it has a pocket on the next page where you can store the card you just cut. Also, if you don't like cutting up your book, there is an order form for replacement cards. It's nice to see form follow ...

Rudra Pratap

Oxford University Press, USA, 2005

The BEST first MATLAB book for scientists and engineers
This book is a true joy to read. It is well-organized, well-written, and provides the most clearly illustrated (through examples and figures) introduction to MATLAB I have found. More importantly, it is specifically geared to scientists and engineers e.g. those seeking to exploit MATLAB's numerical methods capabilities either for teaching, learning, or researching. Each chapter contains ...

George Trinkaus

High Voltage Pr, 1988

Nicely condensed version of Tesla's invention
This 34 page "pamphlet" does an good job of an overview of Tesla and his ideas. It shows the progression of his ideas and also helps the reader to better understand and debunk all the junk science now being espoused concerning Tesla's theories and inventions.

Inexpensive complete mathematical reference book
This is a great concise mathematical reference manual at a great price. I started using this book for reference to complex integrals in graduate school and have sinced used it as my primary mathematical reference sources for all the basic mathematical equations I learned while earning my engineering degree. I recommend it to my students (I teach at a university now) and frequently give it as a ...

Mario Salvadori

Chicago Review Press, 2000

If it had been around...
I've been rereading this lately. This morning I showed everybody in the restaurant where I was eating the book saying, "if this had been around when I was in middle school or junior high, I expect that I would be an architect or structural engineer now.

Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos: With Applications to Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Engineering

31 reviews
Steven H. Strogatz

Westview Press, 2001

Shockingly Readable
I bought this book as a textbook for a class, and I have to say that it is a surprisingly readable math book. The class only used the first few chapters, but I find myself flipping through the rest of the book and trying to understand more advanced material. This is a good book for a scientist who needs to learn linear and nonlinear dynamics but is a little intimidated. Keep in mind, this is a ...

Elements Of Pop Up: A Pop Up Book For Aspiring Paper Engineers

17 reviews

Little Simon, 1999

Delivers lots more than it promises.
This, as the title says, shows a variety of elementary paper popups - the cute little folded thingies in books and cards that stand up when the page is opened. The book's a real strength that it includes an actual, working specimen of each structure it describes. Except for one or two demonstratons, the popup folds never pass the basic, and never show the incredible breadth of artistry that can ...
