Bayesian Computation with R (Use R)
Jim Albert
Springer
, 2008
more practicality added to Bayesian inference
Jim Albert is a great teacher and an excellent writer. The R language is becoming one of the most used languages by statistical researchers. This is because it has many similarities to S and can be used freely, Jim makes R easy to learn for statisticians in this ...

The BEST first MATLAB book for scientists and engineers
This book is a true joy to read. It is well-organized, well-written, and provides the most clearly illustrated (through examples and figures) introduction to MATLAB I have found. More importantly, it is specifically geared to scientists and engineers e.g. those ...
Cryptanalysis
Helen F. Gaines
Dover Publications
, 1989
Best Book for Manual Ciphers
As a former codebreaker with the ASA/NSA during the VN war, I often found it helpful to have a copy of Helen's book handy, and spent many enjoyable hours solving the sample ciphers provided. This valuable book not only describes many historically significant ...
Introduction to the Theory of Computation, Second Edition
Michael Sipser
Course Technology
, 2005
Running out of superlatives to describe this book
This book has unbelievably clear explanations. Actually it is so good that it makes the lecturer superfluous. For years I felt I did not really understand the proof of the Cook Levin theorem. Sure, I had Garey and Johnson, and I more or less could follow the proof, but ...
Discrete Mathematics with Applications
Susanna S. Epp
Brooks Cole
, 2003
Before you buy
Hello all, Just like many reviewers, I give this book 5 stars, why? First of all I am a senior majoring CSE and I hate all college text books. This book is an exception. The first three chapters is introduction to logics nothing much. From chapter four on the good ...

excellent revision of a classical text on statistical pattern recognition
The 1973 book by Duda and Hart was a classic. It surveyed the literature on pattern classification and scene analysis and provided the practitioner with wonderful insight and exposition of the subject. In the intervening 28 years the field has exploded and there has ...

The Algorithm Design Manual
Steven S. Skiena
Springer
, 2008
Accessible Guide to Algorithm Design
For those computer science students and programmers who are put off by the style of "Introduction to Algorithms" by Cormen et al., this book is a good alternative. Rather than just being a catalog of algorithms with code and little explanation, this book covers a much ...
Introduction to Machine Learning (Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning)
Ethem Alpaydin
The MIT Press
, 2004
Great Machine Learning Overview Book
I have a little knowledge about some areas of Machine Learning; I have found this book to be a very useful reference for the areas that I am not familiar with. Explanations are very clear with a very nice examples and illustrations; author also provides good ...
Programming the Cell Processor: For Games, Graphics, and Computation
Matthew Scarpino
Prentice Hall PTR
, 2008
Great First Look into the Cell Processor
Though the book is great for those wanting to understand the Cell processor, it is not for beginners. As a game design student with some programming skill, I clearly do not follow my own advice. This minor detail, though, will not keep me from telling others of Mr. ...
The Computational Beauty of Nature: Computer Explorations of Fractals, Chaos, Complex Systems, and Adaptation
Gary William Flake
The MIT Press
