Based on the author s course at NYU, Linear Algebra and Probability for Computer Science Applications" "gives an introduction to two mathematical fields that are fundamental in many areas of computer science. The course and the text are addressed to students with a very weak mathematical background. Most of the chapters discuss relevant MATLAB(r) functions and features and give sample assignments in MATLAB; the author s website provides the MATLAB code from the book.

After an introductory chapter on MATLAB, the text is divided into two sections. The section on linear algebra gives an...

Community. If we were to begin speculating all the communications that could be extracted from such a word, what would we arrive with? Common Unity? Communication of Unity? There is so much that we could speculate and extrapolate from one word in the English language.
