The database industry is a multi-billion, world-wide, all-encompassing part of the software world. Quantifiers in Action: Generalized Quantification in Query, Logical and Natural Languages introduces a query language called GQs Generalized Quantification in Query. Most query languages are simply versions of First Order Logic (FOL). GQs are an extension of the idea of quantifier in FOL. GQs are a perfect example of a practical theory within databases.

This book provides a brief background in logic and introduces the concept of GQs, and then develops a query language...

"The book is largely self-contained...There is a nice introduction to symplectic geometry and a charming exposition of equivariant K-theory. Both are enlivened by examples related to groups...An attractive feature is the attempt to convey some informal 'wisdom' rather than only the precise definitions. As a number of results are] due to the authors, one finds some of the original excitement. This is the only available introduction to geometric representation theory...it has already proved successful in introducing a new generation to the subject." (Bulletin of the AMS)

Linear Algebra: An Introduction With Mathematica uses a matrix-based presentation and covers the standard topics any mathematician will need to understand linear algebra while using Mathematica. Development of analytical and computational skills is emphasized, and worked examples provide step-by-step methods for solving basic problems using Mathematica. The subject's rich pertinence to problem solving across disciplines is illustrated with applications in engineering, the natural sciences, computer animation, and statistics.

Da dove viene questo strano titolo Algebra lineare per tutti? Tutti in che senso? E luogo comune il fatto che la matematica non sia materia per tutti ed e vero che uno degli ostacoli alla sua diffusione sono spesso i matematici stessi (per fortuna non tutti). Alcuni di essi tendono a sviluppare un linguaggio astruso, difficile, o addirittura talvolta incomprensibile persino per gli esperti di settori limitrofi. E se provassimo a chiedere ad un matematico di professione di estraniarsi per un poco dal suo linguaggio abitudinario e parlare e scrivere in modo piu lineare? E se gli chiedessimo...

Many topics in linear algebra can be computationally intensive, and software programs often serve as important tools for understanding challenging concepts and visualizing the geometric aspects of the subject. Principles of Linear Algebra with Maple uniquely addresses the quickly growing intersection between subject theory and numerical computation, providing all of the commands required to solve complex and computationally challenging linear algebra problems using Maple....
