Excerpt: Arthur Koestler CBE (5 September 1905, Budapest - 3 March 1983, London) was an author of essays, novels and autobiographies. Koestler was born in Budapest but, apart from his early school years, was educated in Austria. His early career was in journalism. In 1931 he joined the Communist Party of Germany but, disillusioned, he resigned from it in 1938 and in 1940 published a devastating anti-totalitarian novel, Darkness at Noon, which propelled him to international fame. Over the next 43 years, Koestler espoused many political causes and wrote novels, biographies, and numerous essays. In 1968 he was awarded the prestigious Sonning Prize "for outstanding contribution to European culture", and in 1972 he was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE). In 1976 Koestler was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and three years later with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia in its terminal stages. He committed suicide along with his wife in 1983 in London. Koestler's father, Henrik Koestler, was born on 18 August 1869 in the town of Miskolc in northeastern Hungary. Henrik's father, Leopold Koestler, was a Russian Jew who had settled in northeastern Hungary in 1860, where he married a local woman. Henrik left school at age 16 due to his parents' strained financial c...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=18950939 ... Read more

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A pseudorandom process is a process that appears to be random but it is not. Pseudorandom sequences typically exhibit statistical randomness while being generated by an entirely deterministic causal process. Such a process is easier to produce than a genuine random one, and has the benefit that it can be used again and again to produce exactly the same numbers, useful for testing and fixing software.To generate truly random numbers requires precise, accurate, and repeatable system measurements of absolutely non-deterministic processes. ...

Chapters: John Von Neumann. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 293. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: John von Neumann (December 28, 1903 February 8, 1957) was a Hungarian-American mathematician who made major contributions to a vast range of fields, including set theory, functional analysis, quantum mechanics, ergodic theory, continuous geometry, economics and game theory, computer science, numerical analysis, hydrodynamics (of explosions), and statistics, as well as many other mathematical fields. He is generally regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians in modern history. The mathematician Jean Dieudonné called von Neumann "the last of the great mathematicians", while Peter Lax described him as possessing the most "fearsome technical prowess" and "scintillating intellect" of the century. Even in Budapest, in the time that produced geniuses like von Kármán (b. 1881), Szilárd (b. 1898), Wigner (b. 1902), and Teller (b. 1908), his brilliance stood out. Von Neumann was a pioneer of the application of operator theory to quantum mechanics, in the development of functional analysis, a principal member of the Manhattan Project and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (as one of the few originally appointed), and a key figure in the development of game theory and the concepts of cellular automata and the universal constructor. Along with Edward Teller and Stanislaw Ulam, von Neumann worked out key steps in the nuclear physics involved in thermonuclear reactions and the hydrogen bomb. The eldest of three brothers, von Neumann was born Neumann János Lajos (in Hungarian the family name comes first) on December 28, 1903 in Budapest, Austro-Hungarian Empire, to a wealthy Jewish family. His father was Neumann Miksa (Max Neumann), a lawyer who worked in a bank. His mother was Kann Mar...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=15942 ... Read more

Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Leonhard Paul Euler, né le 15 avril 1707 à Bâle et mort le 18 septembre 1783 à Saint-Pétersbourg, est un mathématicien et physicien suisse, qui passa la plus grande partie de sa vie en Russie et en Allemagne. Euler fit d'importantes découvertes dans des domaines aussi variés que le calcul infinitésimal et la théorie des graphes. Il introduisit également une grande partie de la terminologie et de la notation des mathématiques modernes, en particulier pour l'analyse mathématique, comme pour la notion d'une fonction mathématique. Il est également connu pour ses travaux en mécanique, en dynamique des fluides, en optique et en astronomie. Euler est considéré comme un éminent mathématicien du siècle et l'un des plus grands de tous les temps. Il est aussi l'un des plus prolifiques, et une déclaration attribuée à Pierre-Simon de Laplace exprime l'influence d'Euler sur les mathématiques : « Lisez Euler, lisez Euler, c'est notre maître à tous ». Euler est représenté sur la sixième série des billets suisses de 10 francs, sur de nombreux timbres postaux suisses, allemands et russes. L'astéroïde (2002) Euler a été nommé en son honneur. Euler est également honoré par l'Église luthérienne dans son Calendrier des Saints, le 24 mai : il était un fervent chrétien, croyant en l'inerrance biblique, et s'opposa avec force aux athées éminents de son temps.

Excerpt: Franz Liszt (Hungarian: , from 1859 to 1867 officially Franz Ritter von Liszt) (October 22, 1811 July 31, 1886) was a Hungarian composer, virtuoso pianist and teacher. Liszt became renowned throughout Europe during the 19th century for his great skill as a performer. He was said by his contemporaries to have been the most technically advanced pianist of his age and perhaps the greatest pianist of all time. He was also an important and influential composer, a notable piano teacher, a conductor who contributed significantly to the modern development of the art, and a benefactor to other composers and performers, notably Richard Wagner, Hector Berlioz, Camille Saint-Saëns, Edvard Grieg and Alexander Borodin. As a composer, Liszt was one of the most prominent representatives of the "Neudeutsche Schule" ("New German School").

Excerpt: Stephen Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 June 24, 1908) was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States. Cleveland is the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms (18851889 and 18931897) and therefore is the only individual to be counted twice in the numbering of the presidents. He was the winner of the popular vote for president three timesin 1884, 1888, and 1892and was the only Democrat elected to the presidency in the era of Republican political domination that lasted from 1860 to 1912. Cleveland's admirers praise him for his honesty, independence, integrity, and commitment to the principles of classical liberalism. As a leader of the Bourbon Democrats, he opposed imperialism, taxes, subsidies and inflationary policies. As a reformer he also worked against political corruption, patronage, and bossism.

Product Description

Galileo and Newton’s work towards the mathematisation of the physical world; Leibniz’s universal logical calculus; the Enlightenment’s mathématique sociale. John von Neumann inherited all these aims and philosophical intuitions, together with an idea that grew up around the Vienna Circle of an ethics in the form of an exact science capable of guiding individuals to make correct decisions. With the help of his boundless mathematical capacity, von Neumann developed a conception of the world as a mathematical game, a world globally governed by a universal logic in which individual consciousness moved following different strategies: his vision guided him from set theory to quantum mechanics, to economics and to his theory of automata (anticipating artificial intelligence and cognitive science). This book provides the first comprehensive scientific and intellectual biography of John von Neumann, a man who perhaps more than any other is representative of twentieth century science.

Product Description
Mutual assured destruction MAD is a doctrine of military strategy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two opposing sides would effectively result in the destruction of both the attacker and the defender. It is based on the theory of deterrence according to which the deployment of strong weapons is essential to threaten the enemy in order to prevent the use of the very same weapons. The strategy is effectively a form of Nash equilibrium, in which both sides are attempting to avoid their worst possible outcome nuclear annihilation. ... Read more

Excerpt: Robert David Sanders "Bob" Novak (February 26, 1931 August 18, 2009) was a syndicated columnist, journalist, television personality, author, and conservative political commentator.
