Computer Science deals with the study of algorithmic processes, computers, and computational systems. As a discipline, computer science spans a wide range of concepts from theoretical studies of algorithms, computation, and information to the practical issues of executing computational systems inside the software and hardware. This volume synthesize and explains the most common computer science terms spanning a wide of range of Computer Science (CS) areas, including hardware, software, multimedia, computer applications, networking, and personal computing. This glossary volume defines complex terms in an easy-to-understand fashion, which makes the book valuable for non-technical and technical audience alike. Terms are defined in a jargon-free and concise manner. The technical terms are illustrated with specific examples whenever appropriate. After reading this book, you will be able to understand computer concepts without going in circles with definitions. Programming language theory considers different kinds of approaches to computational processes. Computer programming, on the other hand, involves applying these processes to develop complex systems. Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to synthesize goal-orientated processes, such as problem-solving, environmental adaptation, decision-making, planning, and learning to predict new data or trends.

This book aims to teach the use of R language for practicing statistics in the context of data handling, presentation, and analysis. The book not only introduces basic concepts of R programming but also explains statistical concepts where necessary. A needful discussion on basic data structure such as vectors, matrices, arrays, and lists has been presented with examples. Exploratory examination and transformation of data, editing, importing, exporting, appending, merging, binning, generation of data, subsetting, dealing with outliers, and NA values have been given in this book. Recycling rule and performing different arithmetic have been explained with examples. Functions related to descriptive statistics and graphical representation of data have been discussed. The use of combination, permutation, probability, and some popular discrete and continuous probability distributions have been included through practical examples. For mean, proportion, variance, difference between means, confidence interval and comparison tests have been explained. Thus, this book would be a good companion to a text or course on statistics. It also explores linear and non-linear modeling, model selection and diagnostic tools in R.

Before PowerShell, I spent the first third of my career as an IT Pro pointing and clicking in the GUI and I decided to write this book to save IT Pros from themselves who are reluctant to learn PowerShell. Instead of a book that just covers topics with fictitious scenarios, this book is more of a condensed version targeting the specific topics that I’ve found an IT Pro needs to know initially to be successful with PowerShell in a real world production environment. It’s a collection of what I wish someone would have told me when I started learning PowerShell along with the tips, tricks, and best practices that I've learned while using PowerShell during the past 10 years. This book focuses on PowerShell version 5.1 in a Microsoft Active Directory domain environment running on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. All currently supported versions of Windows and previous versions of PowerShell beginning with PowerShell version 1.0 are briefly mentioned in this book.

Design patterns and architectures for building production quality applications using functional programming, with examples in Haskell and other FP languages. Functional Design and Architecture is a pioneering guide to software engineering using Haskell and other functional languages. In it, you’ll discover Functional Declarative Design and other design principles perfect for working in Haskell, PureScript, F#, and Scala. Functional programming offers a powerful alternative to object-oriented programming that helps tackle the complexities of large-scale software. Entrenched design patterns and architectural principles made for OOP are poorly suited for creating large-scale functional applications. This book lays out new methodologies, principles, and architectures optimized for high-level software design using functional languages. Inside, you’ll find cutting-edge functional design principles and practices for every stage of application development, from architecting your application through to running simple and maintainable tests. There’s no abstract theory—you’ll learn by building exciting sample applications, including an application for controlling a spaceship and a full-fledged backend framework.

Volume 2 applies the linear algebra concepts presented in Volume 1 to optimization problems which frequently occur throughout Machine Learning. This book blends theory with practice by not only carefully discussing the mathematical under pinnings of each optimization technique but by applying these techniques to linear programming, support vector machines (SVM), principal component analysis (PCA), and ridge regression. Volume 2 begins by discussing preliminary concepts of optimization theory such as metric spaces, derivatives, and the Lagrange multiplier technique for finding extrema of real valued functions. The focus then shifts to the special case of optimizing a linear function over a region determined by affine constraints, namely linear programming. Highlights include careful derivations and applications of the simplex algorithm, the dual-simplex algorithm, and the primal-dual algorithm. The theoretical heart of this book is the mathematically rigorous presentation of various nonlinear optimization methods, including but not limited to gradient decent, the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, Lagrangian duality, alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), and the kernel method. These methods are carefully applied to hard margin SVM, soft margin SVM, kernel PCA, ridge regression, lasso regression, and elastic-net regression. Matlab programs implementing these methods are included.
