Promoveren

About this book
Veel academici zetten zich vroeg of laat aan het schrijven van een proefschrift, ofwel als de eerste stap van een carrière in de wetenschap ofwel later in hun leven als buitenpromovendus. Maar dat het promoveren niet zo gemakkelijk is, blijkt wel uit het grote aantal uitvallers en de vele promovendi die hun project niet op tijd weten af te ronden. Herman Lelieveldt, zelf gepromoveerd, doet in de herziene en geactualiseerde editie van deze succesvolle wegwijzer talloze suggesties die er voor zorgen dat het schrijven van een proefschrift sneller, leuker en beter gaat. Op basis van eigen en andermans ervaringen en eerder verschenen literatuur geeft hij praktische tips die helpen om van het vaak zo ingewikkelde onderzoekstraject een hanteerbaar project te maken.

Foundations Of Geometric Algebra Computing
Dietmar Hildenbrand
<p>The author defines “Geometric Algebra Computing” as the geometrically intuitive development of algorithms using geometric algebra with a focus on their efficient implementation, and the goal of this book is to lay the foundations for the widespread use of geometric algebra as a powerful, intuitive mathematical language for engineering applications in academia and industry. The related technology is driven by the invention of conformal geometric algebra as a 5D extension of the 4D projective geometric algebra and by the recent progress in parallel processing, and with the specific conformal geometric algebra there is a growing community in recent years applying geometric algebra to applications in computer vision, computer graphics, and robotics.</p><p><p>This book is organized into three parts: in Part I the author focuses on the mathematical foundations; in Part II he explains the interactive handling of geometric algebra; and in Part III he deals with computing technology for high-performance implementations based on geometric algebra as a domain-specific language in standard programming languages such as C++ and OpenCL. The book is written in a tutorial style and readers should gain experience with the associated freely available software packages and applications.</p><p>The book is suitable for students, engineers, and researchers in computer science, computational engineering, and mathematics.
In the image of the brain
Jim Jubak
A book about science and metaphors ; about how to build a computer ; and a book about how a technology called neural networks is changing the way we think about machines, computers, brains and minds.
Reaching the unreached
Edward C. Pentecost
No study that deals with people and statistics can be of permanent nature. People change and statistics change. The world is in motion. People are restless and migrate every day. The only permanent thing is change. The recent exodus of Indian peoples from Africa demonstrates changes that are reflected in the people themselves as well as in the countries that receive them. Movements from rural to urban living are creating traumatic changes in almost every country. It is expected that humanity will shift and merge into new groupings. The value of the present study will be in the application made, and its degree of effectiveness in the evangelization of the unreached peoples. The emphasis therefore is on the general principle enunciated of presenting a methodology for discovering the unreached, identifying their peculiar characteristics, and evangelizing them by units. The evangelist is encouraged to seek out the distinct units of unreached peoples, discover the felt needs of the unit, to determine the best channels of communication to that unit, and to apply the message of the Gospel to the heart of the people in the language they can best understand. Thus, while it is not imagined that this study will be final, it is hoped that it will stimulate further research and investigation, and that from it will emerge patterns which will not be merely theoretical, but practical and useful for the evangelization of the unreached millions of the world. - Back cover.
