A Beginner’s Guide to Scala, Object Orientation and Functional Programming
(Springer, 2018)This book is intended as an introduction to Scala for computer science students or those actively involved in the software industry. It assumes some familiarity with standard computing concepts, such as the idea of ... -
The Sea Floor
(Springer, 2017)Man’s understanding of how this planet is put together and how it evolved has changed radically during the last 30 years. This great revolution in geology – now usually subsumed under the concept of Plate Tectonics – ... -
Problems in Classical Electromagnetism
(Springer, 2017)This book comprises 157 problems in classical electromagnetism, originating from the second-year course given by the authors to the undergraduate students of physics at the University of Pisa in the years from 2002 to ... -
Polymer Chemistry
(Springer, 2017)Among the many areas of chemistry, polymer science is a comparatively new field. The empirical use of polymeric materials made from natural substances has been documented for centuries; however, only the pioneering work ... -
Mechanics and Thermodynamics
(Springer, 2017)The present textbook represents the first part of a four-volume series on experimental Physics. It covers the field ofMechanics and Thermodynamics. One of its goal is to illustrate, that the explanation of our world and ... -
Learning Landscape Ecology
(Springer, 2017)Landscape ecology continues to grow as an exciting discipline with much to offer for solving pressing and emerging problems in environmental science. Much of the strength of landscape ecology lies in its ability to address ... -
Introduction to Data Science
(2017)In this era, where a huge amount of information from different fields is gathered and stored, its analysis and the extraction of value have become one of the most attractive tasks for companies and society in general. ... -
Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
(Springer, 2017)After 60 years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has now reached industry and the consciousness of the population. The impressive successes and new AI methods are now so relevant that they should be taught even in a basic ... -
Guide to Scientific Computing in C++
(Springer, 2017)The principle changes in this updated edition are additional material on software testing and on some of the new features introduced in the C++11 standard. When introducing this additional material, we have followed the ... -
Fundamentals of Biomechanics
(Springer, 2018)Biomechanics is an exciting and fascinating specialty with the goal of better understanding the musculoskeletal system to enable the development of methods to prevent problems or to improve treatment of patients. Biomechanics ... -
Fundamental Astronomy
(Springer, 2017)As the title suggests, this book is about fundamental things that one might expect to remain fairly the same. Yet astronomy has evolved enormously over the last few years, and only a few chapters of this book have been ... -
Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
(Springer, 2017)This textbook is intended as a lifeline to physics students (of either the traditional or the autodidactic variety) who have had some preliminary exposure to quantum mechanics but who want to actually try to make physical ... -
Eye Tracking Methodology
(Springer, 2017)Since the writing of the first edition, several important advancements in the field of eye tracking have occurred in the span of just a few short years. Most important, eye tracking technology has improved dramatically. ... -
Design and Analysis of Experiments
(Springer, 2017)Since writing the first edition of Design and Analysis of Experiments, there have been a number of additions to the research investigator’s toolbox. In this second edition, we have incorporated a few of these modern ... -
Cosmology for the Curious
(Springer, 2017)Cosmology is the study of the origin, nature and evolution of our universe. Its practitioners strive to describe cosmic history in quantitative detail, using the language of modern physics and abstract mathematics. Yet, ... -
Basics of Laser Physics
(Springer, 2017)Observation of a gravitational wave is the most spectacular recent application of a laser (published in Physical Review Letters, February 2016). Four Nobel Prizes in the last four years for achievements in physics and ... -
An Introduction to Machine Learning
(Springer, 2017)Machine learning has come of age. And just in case you might think this is a mere platitude, let me clarify. The dream that machines would one day be able to learn is as old as computers themselves, perhaps older still. ... -
Principles of Data Mining
(Springer, 2016)This book is designed to be suitable for an introductory course at either undergraduate or masters level. It can be used as a textbook for a taught unit in a degree programme on potentially any of a wide range of subjects ... -
Philosophy of Science for Scientists
(Springer, 2016)The Swedish predecessor of this book, Introduktion till Vetenskapsteorin, grew out of an urgently felt need when I was teaching philosophy of science for students of engineering, physics, biology, social science, medicine ... -
Magnetic Interactions in Molecules and Solids
(Springer, 2016)Magnetic interactions are not only fascinating from an academic viewpoint, they also play an increasingly important role in chemistry, especially in the chemistry that is aimed at designing materials with predefined ...
