| Posted: 21 Apr 2016 09:58 AM PDT  Learn to Program with C.Learn to Program with C teaches computer programming to the complete beginner using the native C language. As such, it assumes you have no knowledge whatsoever about programming. The main goal of this book is to teach fundamental programming principles using C, one of the most widely used programming languages in the world today. We discuss only those features and statements in C that are necessary to achieve our goal. Once you learn the principles well, they can be applied to any language. If you are worried that you are not good at high-school mathematics, don't be. It is a myth that you must be good at mathematics to learn programming. C is considered a 'modern' language even though its roots date back to the 1970s. Originally, C was designed for writing 'systems' programs—things like operating systems, editors, compilers, assemblers and input/output utility programs. But, today, C is used for writing all kinds of applications programs as well—word processing programs, spreadsheet programs, database management programs, accounting programs, games, robots, embedded systems/electronics (i.e., Arduino), educational software—the list is endless. What you'll learn
Who this book is forThis book is intended for anyone who is learning programming for the first time, regardless of age or institution. The post Learn to Program with C appeared first on 1Bookcase. |

| Stochastic Optimal Control and the U.S. Financial Debt Crisis Posted: 21 Apr 2016 09:22 AM PDT  Stochastic Optimal Control and the U.S. Financial Debt Crisis.Stochastic Optimal Control (SOC)―a mathematical theory concerned with minimizing a cost (or maximizing a payout) pertaining to a controlled dynamic process under uncertainty―has proven incredibly helpful to understanding and predicting debt crises and evaluating proposed financial regulation and risk management. Stochastic Optimal Control and the U.S. Financial Debt Crisis analyzes SOC in relation to the 2008 U.S. financial crisis, and offers a detailed framework depicting why such a methodology is best suited for reducing financial risk and addressing key regulatory issues. Topics discussed include the inadequacies of the current approaches underlying financial regulations, the use of SOC to explain debt crises and superiority over existing approaches to regulation, and the domestic and international applications of SOC to financial crises. Principles in this book will appeal to economists, mathematicians, and researchers interested in the U.S. financial debt crisis and optimal risk management.

| Advances in K-means Clustering Posted: 21 Apr 2016 08:52 AM PDT  Advances in K-means Clustering: A Data Mining Thinking (Springer Theses: Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research).Nearly everyone knows K-means algorithm in the fields of data mining and business intelligence. But the ever-emerging data with extremely complicated characteristics bring new challenges to this “old” algorithm. This book addresses these challenges and makes novel contributions in establishing theoretical frameworks for K-means distances and K-means based consensus clustering, identifying the “dangerous” uniform effect and zero-value dilemma of K-means, adapting right measures for cluster validity, and integrating K-means with SVMs for rare class analysis. This book not only enriches the clustering and optimization theories, but also provides good guidance for the practical use of K-means, especially for important tasks such as network intrusion detection and credit fraud prediction. The thesis on which this book is based has won the “2010 National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award”, the highest honor for not more than 100 PhD theses per year in China.
