An impassioned look at games and game design that offers the most ambitious framework for understanding them to date.

Machine-learning systems are making life-altering decisions for us: approving mortgage loans, determining whether a tumour is cancerous, or deciding whether someone gets bail. They now influence discoveries in chemistry, biology and physics - the study of genomes, extra-solar planets, even the intricacies of quantum systems.

We are living through a revolution in artificial intelligence that is not slowing down. This major shift is based on simple mathematics, some of which goes back centuries...

Data-driven discovery is revolutionizing how we model, predict, and control complex systems. Now with Python and MATLAB®, this textbook trains mathematical scientists and engineers for the next generation of scientific discovery by offering a broad overview of the growing intersection of data-driven methods, machine learning, applied optimization, and classical fields of engineering mathematics and mathematical physics. With a focus on integrating dynamical systems modeling and control with ...

The second edition of this book has been fully updated to show how the DevOps way of working has continued to adapt to changing technologies. The ITIL processes which were an integral part of the DevOps world have been merged with the DevOps framework, reflecting the current emphasis on product models rather than viewing project and support models separately.

This book starts with the basics of digital transformation before exploring how this works in practice: that is, people, processes and...
