Описание: This organizational history relates the role of the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the development of modern computing.Drawing upon new and existing oral histories, extensive use of NSF documents, and the experience of two of the authors as senior managers, this book describes how NSF's programmatic activities originated and evolved to become the primary source of funding for fundamental research in computing and information technologies.The book traces how NSF's support has provided facilities and education for computing usage by all scientific disciplines, aided in institution and professional community building, supported fundamental research in computer science and allied disciplines, and led the efforts to broaden participation in computing by all segments of society.Today, the research and infrastructure facilitated by NSF computing programs are significant economic drivers of American society and industry. For example, NSF supported work that led to the first widely-used web browser, Netscape; sponsored the creation of algorithms at the core of the Google search engine; facilitated the growth of the public Internet; and funded research on the scientific basis for countless other applications and technologies. NSF has advanced the development of human capital and ideas for future advances in computing and its applications.This account is the first comprehensive coverage of NSF's role in the extraordinary growth and expansion of modern computing and its use. It will appeal to historians of computing, policy makers and leaders in government and academia, and individuals interested in the history and development of computing and the NSF.

Описание: Building a house is exactly the same as building a relationship. A house and a relationship both require a strong foundation. Before one can contribute to building a foundation with someone else, he or she must build his or her own individual foundation. Two individual foundations equal a strong foundation. Our Learning lessons from our Experiences are a part of our individual foundations. In this book you will learn how to address your emotions, shift your perspective on all (Positive & Negative) of your experiences and learn the lessons within your experiences. By shifting your perspective and learning the lessons, you will be able to create "Foundational-Questions" to determine compatibility with another individual. You will also learn the difference between "Foundational & Surface Questions". "Society" utilizes "Surface Questions" to develop compatibility; which leads you to Day 30 asking yourself, "Who are you? What happened to the person I met on Day 1?" My "Foundational Questions" will have you saying, "Who are you?" on Day 1 and on Day 30 you will say, "I sure am glad you're the same person I met on Day 1." The overall objective for this book is for people to realize all their answers are within and to separate themselves from "Bass-ackwards Society". Additionally, you will learn the difference between a "Foundation" relationship (Deep) & a "Surface" relationship (Shallow). This is an equal opportunity book that focuses on individuals (Internal) and not genders (External).
Автор: Posen Barry R. Название: Restraint: A New Foundation for U.S. Grand Strategy ISBN: 0801452589 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780801452581 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 29730.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание:
The United States, Barry R. Posen argues in Restraint, has grown incapable of moderating its ambitions in international politics. Since the collapse of Soviet power, it has pursued a grand strategy that he calls "liberal hegemony," one that Posen sees as unnecessary, counterproductive, costly, and wasteful. Written for policymakers and observers alike, Restraint explains precisely why this grand strategy works poorly and then provides a carefully designed alternative grand strategy and an associated military strategy and force structure. In contrast to the failures and unexpected problems that have stemmed from America’s consistent overreaching, Posen makes an urgent argument for restraint in the future use of U.S. military strength.
After setting out the political implications of restraint as a guiding principle, Posen sketches the appropriate military forces and posture that would support such a strategy. He works with a deliberately constrained notion of grand strategy and, even more important, of national security (which he defines as including sovereignty, territorial integrity, power position, and safety). His alternative for military strategy, which Posen calls "command of the commons," focuses on protecting U.S. global access through naval, air, and space power, while freeing the United States from most of the relationships that require the permanent stationing of U.S. forces overseas.
Автор: O`leary, Dianne P. (university Of Maryland, Colleg Название: Scientific computing with case studies ISBN: 0898716667 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780898716665 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 93630.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: This book is a practical guide to the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear equations, differential equations, optimization problems, and eigenvalue problems. It treats standard problems and introduces important variants such as sparse systems, differential-algebraic equations, constrained optimization, Monte Carlo simulations, and parametric studies. Stability and error analysis are emphasized, and the Matlab algorithms are grounded in sound principles of software design and understanding of machine arithmetic and memory management. Nineteen case studies provide experience in mathematical modeling and algorithm design, motivated by problems in physics, engineering, epidemiology, chemistry, and biology. The topics included go well beyond the standard first-course syllabus, introducing important problems such as differential-algebraic equations and conic optimization problems, and important solution techniques such as continuation methods. The case studies cover a wide variety of fascinating applications, from modeling the spread of an epidemic to determining truss configurations.
A practical guide to using modern software effectively in quantitative research in the social and natural sciences.
This book offers a practical guide to the computational methods at the heart of most modern quantitative research. It will be essential reading for research assistants needing hands-on experience; students entering PhD programs in business, economics, and other social or natural sciences; and those seeking quantitative jobs in industry. No background in computer science is assumed; a learner need only have a computer with access to the Internet. Using the example as its principal pedagogical device, the book offers tried-and-true prototypes that illustrate many important computational tasks required in quantitative research. The best way to use the book is to read it at the computer keyboard and learn by doing.
The book begins by introducing basic skills: how to use the operating system, how to organize data, and how to complete simple programming tasks. For its demonstrations, the book uses a UNIX-based operating system and a set of free software tools: the scripting language Python for programming tasks; the database management system SQLite; and the freely available R for statistical computing and graphics. The book goes on to describe particular tasks: analyzing data, implementing commonly used numerical and simulation methods, and creating extensions to Python to reduce cycle time. Finally, the book describes the use of LaTeX, a document markup language and preparation system.
