ISBN: 9780465062980 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. For more than two centuries, our political life has been divided between a party of progress and a party of conservation.

Is the application of scientific logic to the study of human affairs philosophically defensible? Does it aid or hinder our efforts at a genuine...

The central tools for estimating convergence times, including coupling, strong stationary times, and spectral methods, are developed. The authors discuss many examples, including card shuffling and the Ising model, from...
