Inference and Learning from Data
, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
- Textbook
This extraordinary three-volume work, written in an engaging and rigorous style by a world authority in the field, provides an accessible, comprehensive introduction to the full spectrum of mathematical and statistical techniques underpinning contemporary methods in data-driven learning and inference. The first volume, Foundations, establishes core topics in inference and learning, and prepares readers for studying their practical application. The second volume, Inference, introduces readers to cutting-edge techniques for inferring unknown variables and quantities. The final volume, Learning, provides a rigorous introduction to state-of-the-art learning methods. A consistent structure and pedagogy is employed throughout all three volumes to reinforce student understanding, with over 1280 end-of-chapter problems (including solutions for instructors), over 600 figures, over 470 solved examples, datasets and downloadable Matlab code. Unique in its scale and depth, this textbook sequence is ideal for early-career researchers and graduate students across many courses in signal processing, machine learning, statistical analysis, data science and inference.

Introduction to Linear Algebra
6th edition
, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Textbook
Linear algebra now rivals or surpasses calculus in importance for people working in quantitative fields of all kinds: engineers, scientists, economists and business people. Gilbert Strang has taught linear algebra at MIT for more than 50 years and the course he developed has become a model for teaching around the world. His video lectures on MIT OpenCourseWare have been viewed over ten million times and his twelve textbooks are popular with readers worldwide. This sixth edition of Professor Strang's most popular book, Introduction to Linear Algebra, introduces the ideas of independent columns and the rank and column space of a matrix early on for a more active start. Then the book moves directly to the classical topics of linear equations, fundamental subspaces, least squares, eigenvalues and singular values – in each case expressing the key idea as a matrix factorization. The final chapters of this edition treat optimization and learning from data: the most active application of linear algebra today. Everything is explained thoroughly in Professor Strang's characteristic clear style. It is sure to delight and inspire the delight and inspire the next generation of learners.

Linear Algebra for Everyone
, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Textbook
Linear algebra has become the subject to know for people in quantitative disciplines of all kinds. No longer the exclusive domain of mathematicians and engineers, it is now used everywhere there is data and everybody who works with data needs to know more. This new book from Professor Gilbert Strang, author of the acclaimed Introduction to Linear Algebra, now in its fifth edition, makes linear algebra accessible to everybody, not just those with a strong background in mathematics. It takes a more active start, beginning by finding independent columns of small matrices, leading to the key concepts of linear combinations and rank and column space. From there it passes on to the classical topics of solving linear equations, orthogonality, linear transformations and subspaces, all clearly explained with many examples and exercises. The last major topics are eigenvalues and the important singular value decomposition, illustrated with applications to differential equations and image compression. A final optional chapter explores the ideas behind deep learning.

Euripides' Bacchae is one of the most widely read and performed Greek tragedies. A story of implacable divine vengeance, it skilfully transforms earlier currents of literature and myth, and its formative influence on modern ideas of Greek tragedy and religion is unparalleled. This up-to-date edition offers a detailed literary and cultural analysis. The wide-ranging Introduction discusses such issues as the psychological and anthropological aspects of Dionysiac ritual, the god's ability to blur gender boundaries, his particular connection to dramatic role-playing, and the interaction of belief and practice in Greek religion. The Commentary's notes on language and style are intended to make the play fully accessible to students of Greek at all levels, while the edition as a whole is designed for anyone with an interest in Greek tragedy or cultural history.

Book XXIII of the Iliad deals with the Funeral Games of Patroclus, whose death Achilles has avenged in Book XXII with his slaying of Hector. It provides a crucial element to the closure of Homer's epic, encapsulating its narrative and prominent themes, preparing the audience for the future of the story both within the poem and after its end, and focusing our attention on the behaviour and personality of its Achilles and his wrath as he grieves for his closest companion. The ongoing tensions within the Greek camp before Troy provide the stimulus for the exciting events of the Funeral Games and their reflection on the dynamics which drive the characters in Homer's world. Detailed analysis of language, structure, and narrative technique illuminates the brilliance of Homeric poetry, whilst the Introduction and Commentary explain and guide the reader through the text's literary and historical issues.

Herodotus' Histories are the primary source for the conflict between Greece and the enormous Persian Empire in the fifth century BC. Book VII begins after the defeat of the first Persian invasion by Athens at the Battle of Marathon and covers the Persian decision to launch the second invasion through to the first encounter of its army with a small but determined Greek force at Thermopylai. After fierce resistance, the Greeks are outflanked and surrounded, and the rearguard is massacred. The story of the battle passed rapidly into legend and has exercised a profound and lasting influence on the imagination across the world. Book VII merges many of the central themes of the Histories and is arguably Herodotus' most sustained engagement with Greek epic, whilst also rich in ethnographic and geographical detail. This edition provides all the linguistic help and historical background required by students to read and appreciate it.

Book IV of the Iliad moves from the truce between Greeks and Trojans and the duel between Menelaos and Paris in Book III to the gods' decision that the Greeks will sack Troy, Athene's persuasion of Pandaros to break the truce by shooting at Menelaos, and the reciprocally and mutually destructive fighting between the two armies that ensues.

It provides help with the morphology, grammar, syntax, and style of Homeric Greek, including the extended similes, speeches, and mythological allusions in Book IV. It also elucidates the poem's characterization of major and minor figures and its ethically charged representation of relations between gods and humans. Although intended primarily for undergraduates and graduate students, this edition also contains much of value for the scholar.

As the first play of the Terentian corpus, Andria has always attracted a special level of attention. It was the first Roman comedy produced after antiquity (at Florence in 1476) and the first translated into English, and it has inspired writers from Jonson and Dryden to Thornton Wilder. It provides an excellent introduction to Terence 's particular style of comedy, noteworthy for its ambivalence in representing the perspectives of woman and slaves and its experiments with a secondary plot line. The commentary is designed both to help students with the basic linguistic and technical problems confronting inexperienced readers of Roman comedy and to open discussion of essential interpretive questions involving the play and its relation to the wider comic corpus, as well as the utility of comedy for furthering our understanding of the Roman world and its values.
