Harness the power of randomness (and Python code) to solve real-world problems in fun, hands-on experiments—from simulating evolution to encrypting messages to making Machine Learning algorithms! The Art of Randomness is a hands-on guide to mastering the many ways you can use randomized algorithms to solve real programming and scientific problems. You’ll learn how to use randomness to run simulations, hide information, design experiments, and even create art and music. All you need is some Python, basic high school math, and a roll of the dice. Author Ronald T. Kneusel focuses on helping you build your intuition so that you’ll know when and how to use random processes to get things done. You’ll develop a randomness engine (a Python class that supplies random values from your chosen source), then explore how to leverage randomness to: - Simulate Darwinian evolution and optimize with swarm-based search algorithms; - Design scientific experiments to produce more meaningful results by making them truly random; - Implement Machine Learning algorithms like neural networks and random forests; - Use Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods to sample from complex distributions; - Hide information in audio files and images, generate art, and create music; - Reconstruct original signals and images from only randomly sampled data.

This book will teach you fundamental mathematical concepts using Unity-based custom examples, explaining the implementations and demonstrating how these concepts are applied in building modern video game functionality. You will learn the theoretical foundation of each concept, and then interact, examine, and modify the implementation to inspect the effects. Basic Math for Game Development with Unity 3D begins by explaining points in the 3D Cartesian Coordinate system. From there, you’ll gain insight into vectors and details of dot and cross products, quaternions, rotation and decomposition of vectors. These basic mathematical foundations are illustrated through Unity-based example implementations. Associated with these concept presentations are separate examples of how the concepts are applied in creating typical video game functionality, such as collision support, motion simulations, autonomous behaviors, shadow approximations, and reflections off surfaces with arbitrary orientations. After completing this book, you will have a thorough understanding of core mathematical concepts and how they are used to create compelling gameplay. This book is targeted toward video game enthusiasts and hobbyists who have some background in basic object-oriented programming. If you do not have any programming background in general, it is suggested that you first become comfortable with the C# programming language before tackling the content provided in this book.

This textbook introduces formal languages and automata theory for upper-level undergraduate or beginning graduate students. While it contains the traditional mathematical development usually employed in computational theory courses, it is also quite different from many of them. Machines, grammars, and algorithms developed as part of a constructive proof are intended to be rendered as programs. The book is divided into four parts that build on each other. Part I reviews fundamental concepts. It introduces programming in FSM and reviews program design. In addition, it reviews essential mathematical background on sets, relations, and reasoning about infinite sets. Part II starts the study of formal languages and automata theory in earnest with regular languages. It first introduces regular expressions and shows how they are used to write programs that generate words in a regular language. Given that regular expressions generate words, it is only natural to ask how a machine can recognize words in a regular language. This leads to the study of deterministic and nondeterministic finite-state machines. Part III starts the exploration of languages that are not regular with context-free languages. It begins with context-free grammars and pushdown automata to generate and recognize context-free languages, and it ends with a discussion of deterministic pushdown automata and illustrates why these automatons are fundamentally different from nondeterministic pushdown automata. Part IV eventually explores languages that are not context-free, known as context-sensitive languages.

Книга научит вас создавать масштабируемые системы потокового обмена сообщениями с использованием Pulsar. Вы начнете с быстрого ознакомления с корпоративными системами обмена сообщениями и откроете для себя уникальные преимущества Pulsar. Следуя четким описаниям и выполняя практические примеры, вы будете использовать фреймворк Pulsar Functions для разработки приложения на основе микросервисов. Книга «Apache Pulsar в действии» предназначена главным образом для разработчиков на языке Java, интересующихся технологией обработки потоковых данных, или для разработчиков микросервисов, которые ищут альтернативный фреймворк для порождения (генерации) событий. Группы DevOps, заинтересованные в развертывании и функционировании Pulsar в своих организациях, также найдут эту книгу полезной. Одним из основных критических замечаний по Apache Pulsar является общее отсутствие документации и сообщений в блогах, доступных в интернете, и, хотя без сомнений ожидается, что это изменится в ближайшем будущем, я надеюсь, что книга поможет заполнить этот пробел в промежуточный период и принесет пользу всем, кто хочет узнать больше о потоковой обработке в целом и об Apache Pulsar в частности. Предварительные знания о платформе Apache Pulsar не требуются.
