Now in its second edition, R by Example is an example-based introduction to the statistical computing environment that does not assume any previous familiarity with R or other software packages. R functions are presented in the context of interesting applications with real data.The purpose of this book is to illustrate a range of statistical and probability computations using R for people who are learning, teaching, or using statistics. Specifically, it is written for users who have covered at least the equivalent of (or are currently studying) undergraduate level calculus-based courses in statistics. These users are learning or applying exploratory and inferential methods for analyzing data, and this book is intended to be a useful resource for learning how to implement these procedures in R.The new edition includes expanded coverage of ggplot2 graphics, as well as new chapters on importing data and multivariate data methods.

Rust Programming in easy steps introduces all the features of the Rust programming language, using worked example programs.Rust is still an immature language and sees a major release every six years. Rust 2024 is expected to be released in February 2025, and is the version of the language that this book will deal with. The language differences are slight. Of greater concern is the library of “crates” that support more advanced features. Many of these are either not in place or not stable enough to be relied on. In particular, no one crate has emerged that provides a desktop GUI interface. Therefore, all the examples in this book will be for command-line, text-based programs.The book includes two full example programs taken from areas where Rust has seen significant use: web back-end and embedded development. The latter requires that the reader obtain an Arduino and a few electronic components. This optional project need not cost more than around £10.Rust Programming in easy steps is intended for experienced programmers and is not suitable for beginners.Covers Rust 2024, which is due for release in February 2025.

This book gives a detailed information of various soft computing techniques across various fields for solving relevant, real-life problems. The authors, all female leaders in the field, show how soft computing uses approximate calculations to provide imprecise yet usable solutions to complex computational problems. This enables solutions for problems that may be either unsolvable or too time-consuming to solve with current hardware. The authors show how these techniques, when applied, have proven to be efficient and robust in many difficult situations. As an important part of the Women in Science and Engineering book series, the work highlights the contribution of women leaders in soft computing, inspiring women and men, girls and boys to enter and apply themselves to secure the future in the field.

This book takes a philosophical look at traditional technological tools such as hammers and drills as well as the modern: autonomous cars, ChatGPT, smartphones, apps, steam engines, nuclear power plants, computers, and many other systems that surround us. The three main questions tackled are: Is technology neutral? Or is the design often intertwined with a Western or gendered perspective? What are the ethical risks of AI? Is it necessarily biased? Is the climate problem linked to smart technologies? Is technological determinism correct? In other words, is the world controlled by engineers since the digital revolution, or are their inventions merely a product of society?Lode Lauwaert and Bartek Chomanski offer an idiosyncratic perspective on technology and AI. The result is a nuanced and critical view of the key themes of our time. This book appeals broadly to students, researchers as well as non-academic audiences for an introduction to the philosophy of technology and AI."This book explores key themes that all revolve around the idea that technology is not neutral. This is a message for all of us. Because technology is us." Mark Coeckelbergh, University of Vienna
