Hardy Cambridge University Press, 1993 Let's Not Go Overboard First, this is very nice book that was first published in 1908. It is EXTREMELY well written BUT what Hardy does in around 500 pages Rudin does in around 100 and with a more rigor (but, admittedly, very terse). You also have to remember that if you are studying analysis from a book 100 years old there are a few things that have happened since then - like the "Incompleteness Theorem" and the ...             Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos: With Applications to Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Engineering31 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 ...             Turning Numbers into Knowledge: Mastering the Art of Problem Solving22 reviews Jonathan G. Koomey, John P. Holdren Analytics Press, 2008 A great primer and reference to fall back on While no doubt I've heard many of nuggets contained in the book over the course of my high school and college days, I found Koomey's book a pleasurable read and useful synthesis of approaches and tips for completing quality research and analyses. Internalizing Koomey's advice is going to help most readers be more discriminating consumers of published research and better authors of their own ...             Web Analytics: An Hour a Day60 reviews Avinash Kaushik Sybex, 2007 The only book on Web Analytics you'll ever need Technologies evolve, but the PROCESS by which we should collect and analyze online data in order to gain solid, actionable insights will remain constant for the foreseeable future. I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the smartest online marketers in the business, and, to say the very least, most of these people -- especially those in the analytics community -- seem content to ...             Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition20 reviews Christopher M. Bishop Oxford University Press, USA, 1996 Sheer pleasure. If you want a very good, intermediate introduction to pattern classification this book must be on your bookshelf. It even does a very nice job explaining the EM algorithm in a few pages! Basic calculus is all you need to understand the book. A must read.             Discovering Statistics Using SPSS (Introducing Statistical Methods S.) (2nd Edition)62 reviews Andy Field Sage Publications Ltd, 2005 Bless you, Andy Field! This should be the first book you buy if you need help with stats and SPSS. When I first began doing empirical research I knew almost nothing about statistics or SPSS, and had to learn virtually everything I needed to know about complex multivariate tests on my own. I had suffered through many of the relevant, canonical books before I happened upon Field. It was a V-8 moment. Not only does the ...             Total Hockey: The Official Encyclopedia of the National Hockey League23 reviews James Duplacey Total Sports, 1998 This book has it all the stats,scores,and players. This book can tell you everything you every wanted to know about hockey and the tradition of hockey. You get to see so many stats about all the teams and the players of the NHL. A must have for all Hockey fans and players of the wonderful game.             The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits61 reviews Joel Whitburn Billboard Books, 1992 40 top hits I could not exist without this product for reviewing old songs and artists thanks             Presenting to Win: The Art of Telling Your Story (Financ Times Prentice Hall Books)37 reviews Jerry Weissman FT Press, 2003 You will never present the same way again...and your audiece will thank you Jerry Weissman is one of those rare people who has written an authoritative sounding book about how to present and has the real experience and background to justify every claim he makes. The book starts with the premise that the presenter must focus on the audience and that he must make them focus on him. He must understand the mental point they are at (Point A) and moves them to Point B. He ...             An analysis of the effects of gender and race on salary for the regular-scale faculty: Report39 reviews Carol A Chetkovich University of California at Berkeley, Office of the Faculty Assistant on the Status of Women, 1991 "I got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals." Frank Cassidy lives on the fringes of society in a succession of demeaning jobs, a wife with an ex-husband on death row in Georgia, an angst-riddled stepson waiting for his father to be executed and an innocent pre-schooler, obsessed with his toy dinosaurs. Frank's edge-of-desperation lifestyle can be traced back to his childhood, his father and mother killed in a fire that erupted on the family ...             Probability and Statistics with Reliability, Queueing, and Computer Science Applications, 2nd Edition14 reviews Kishor Shridharbhai Trivedi Wiley-Interscience, 2001 An Excellent Statistics Book for CS Students Second edition of "Probability and Statistics with Reliability, Queuing and Computer Science Applications" by Kishor S. Trivedi is a highly recommendable book. The concepts provided for probability theory and stochastic processes are excellent for students of communication, networking and computer science. It provides a good understanding of stochastic processes and Markov chains which are very ...             Probability Theory: The Logic of Science16 reviews E. T. Jaynes Cambridge University Press, 2003 Engaging, Infuriating, Always Challenging I've never seen another book like this. Jaynes definitely has an agenda, but he justifies his viewpoint through an amazingly deep tour of probability theory. Not every viewpoint he expresses is convincing (such as his view that quantum theory is inherently probabilistic only because physicists are lazy), but he always raises deep and interesting questions while teaching the ideas. If you can ...             Schaum's Outline of Probability, Random Variables, and Random Processes14 reviews Hwei Hsu McGraw-Hill, 1996 Essential supplement for any course in random processes I used this book in conjunction with "Probability and Random Processes with Applications to Signal Processing" by Stark & Woods, and I would have to say that this Schaum's outline filled in the gaps nicely. Stark & Woods has a nice selection of exercises, but unfortunately there are no solutions to any of the problems in the book, so you have no way of knowing whether or not you have grasped the ...             The World Almanac and Book of Facts 2006 (World Almanac and Book of Facts)15 reviews World Almanac, 2005 Almanac It is suprising how much you get out of a book like this. Excellent.             Forty Studies That Changed Psychology14 reviews Roger R. Hock Prentice-Hall, 1992 Great Intro to Psychological Research I'm a psych major in college, so I naturally enjoyed reading about these important studies. However, I think anyone could enjoy this book. It's very readable and covers crucial research from all areas of psychology. Read about one study or all forty; this is a great book!             Fatal Dog Attacks: The Stories Behind the Statistics (United States)14 reviews Karen Delise Anubis Press, 2002 Dog Attacks Although at times a difficult read, due to the the necessity of reading about statistical fatal dog attacks, this book is a top ten in recommended reading if one should want to understand dog behavior. This is a book the entire public should read (if it were possible) to have a greater understanding that the domestic dog-once researched responsibly is very, very rarely an animal that fatally ...             Mathematica Navigator: Mathematics, Statistics, and Graphics14 reviews Heikki Ruskeepaa Elsevier Academic Press, 2004 Second Edition is even better than the first I liked the first version so much that I bought this second edition also. The first edition was based on Mathematica 3 but this second edition is based on Mathematica 5 (Mathematica 6 has only just shipped within the past 2 months). As did the first edition, this second edition comes with a cd that contains the entire book in Mathematica notebook form. The style sheets used to format the ...             An Introduction to Probability Theory and Its Applications, Volume 114 reviews William Feller Wiley, 1968 Felled by Feller? I came across Vol 1 as a maths student in the 1970s. Indeed, the book was suggested to me by a quantum physicist recommended for the Nobel Prize in 1965 (John Ward, now deceased)- Feynman, Schwinger and Tomonaga shared the prize. This is a difficult book and was not widely used even in the 70s as a textbook. I can recall the word "idiosyncratic" being used by someone to describe the book. ...             Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics14 reviews Sybex, 2008 THE BOOK for Google Analytics This book is a MUST for anyone who is trying to use Google Analytics. You will probably have to read through it more than once (at least I did) but that is because it was packed with information on how to best implement tracking, comprehend data and use it to improve your site with Google Analytics.             China Syndrome: The True Story of the 21st Century's First Great Epidemic15 reviews Karl Taro Greenfeld HarperCollins, 2006 Terrifying Karl Taro Greenfeld (KTG) in his book follows the SARS virus from its early beginnings in Guangdong Province (China) in late 2002 right to its end during 2003. He starts off with the rumours flying around Guangdong in late 2002 and then follows the virus around to wherever it goes. He also covers the science effort to identify it and the efforts to contain it. KTG calls SARS the first pandemic ...              search for books analytics, applications, billboard, cambridge, chemistry, discovering, encyclopedia, engineering, introducing, introduction, knowledge, mastering, mathematica, mathematical, mathematics, national, navigator, nonlinear, presenting, probability, processes, psychology, queueing, recognition, regular-scale, reliability, statistical, statistics, syndrome, variables books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
