An analysis of novelistic explorations of modernism in mathematics and its cultural interrelations. Persuasively and engagingly, it demonstrates that modernism's relation to contemporary mathematics was often more analogous than adversarial.

Intended for professionals of engineering, physical science, economics, business studies, and computer science, this handbook contains vital information and formulas for algebra, geometry, calculus, numerical methods, and statistics.

Review the relevance of heuristics in problem-solving approaches in Mathematics Education, what type of heuristics helps learners devise and practice creative solutions; the importance that learners formulate and pursue their own problems.

An extensive guide to everything there is to know about curl, the project, the command-line tool, the library, how everything started and how it came to be what it is today. How we work on developing it further, what it takes to use it, etc.

French mathematician Evariste Galois developed the Galois theory of groups-one of the most penetrating concepts in modem mathematics. The elements of the theory are clearly presented in this lectures delivered by noted mathematician Emil Artin.

This short book is a complete introduction to statistics and data analysis using R and RStudio. It contains hands-on exercises with real data - mostly from social sciences. It presents four key ingredients of statistical data analysis.

This book examines the use of natural language technology in educational testing, measurement, and assessment, provides evidence-based practices for the use of NLP-based approaches to automated text and speech scoring and beyond.

This book takes readers on a fascinating scholarly tour of human movement and offer a compelling program for roboticists, technologists, and designers seeking fresh perspectives on human-machine interaction.

This graduate-level mathematics textbook provides an in-depth and readable exposition of selected topics in complex analysis. The focus is on beautiful applications of complex analysis to geometry and number theory.

Lex, I also noticed that most of these books are pretty old. Maybe once the Internet hit the big time in the 90s, things got less funny. I mean, read the comments on HN for a while if you want to see how not-funny things have gotten.

Hi Magnus, of course TAOCP is impeccable, just joking. Except for that MMIX crap. I certainly enjoyed all of the early Stephenson books, and even tracked down a copy of _The Big U_ back in the 90s when it was really hard to find.

In the UK and certain countries in Europe, you can buy directly from Usborne or from an Independent Usborne Partner. In the USA you can buy books via links to Usborne Books & More, the website of our US distributors.

Many of today's tech professionals were inspired by the Usborne computing books they read as children. The books included program listings for such iconic computers as the ZX Spectrum, the BBC Micro and the Commodore 64, and are still used in some computer clubs today.

These pdf copies of the original Usborne Computer Guides published in the 1980s are free to download for your own personal or educational use. The books and files are the copyright of Usborne Publishing. You can provide a link to the pdfs from your website, but you may not host or distribute the original files.

You may adapt any of the programs in these books to modern computer languages, and share the adaptations freely online. You may not use the adaptations for commercial purposes. Please credit the name of the Usborne book from which you adapted the program, and provide a link to this webpage.

I've always been a largely independent learner gleaning what I can from Wikipedia and various books. However, I fear that I may have biased my self-education by inadvertent omission of topics and concepts. My goal is to teach myself the equivalent of an undergraduate degree in Computer Science from a top university (doesn't matter which one).

Software engineering books are welcome, but in the context of academic study only please. I'm aware of Code Complete and the Pragmatic Programmer, but I'm looking for a more theoretical approach. Thanks!

The best approach I've found is to pick your favorite University, go to their website, and check out the courses for the degree. Many of the big ones have their required readings published for each course. MIT's Open Course Ware is a good example.

Many courses at top universities don't use a textbook because none of the available books are good enough. (I was educated at Princeton and taught for 8 years at Harvard.) When someone recommends a book, ask if the book is really good or if it is just the best available in the field.

For example, in compilers, I'm not a big fan of the 'Dragon Book'; I never liked the approach, and the current edition is very outdated. I think you'd be better off with a book like Michael Scott's Programming Language Pragmatics which although a bit scattershot is a lovely book to read. (I've never taught from it, so I can't say what students think of it.) I don't know of a really good book on compiler construction for the autodidact, although you might look at Cooper and Torczon's Engineering a Compiler because it is up to date and written by two of the best compiler engineers in the business.
