He was described as one of the only person smarter than Einstein, by no less than Eugene Wigner, a Nobel-Prize winning physicist, who knew both of them well. He was a polymath who spoke multiple languages and possessed an extraordinary intellect. He could perform complex mathematical calculations in his head, recite entire books verbatim after a single reading, and engage in advanced scientific discussions even as a child. He made groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, physics, economics, and computer science, notably developing the Monte Carlo method for nuclear reactor simulations ...

Believe it or not, there is a striking similarity between medieval castle design and how we protect networks and data in the 21st century. By examining how our ancestors fought off invading armies, it becomes much easier to understand the latest strategies for keeping hackers at-bay.

Jamie Hawkins became a swashbuckling space pirate to fight tyranny. When Jamie Hawkins saved the lives of women and children who were caught in the crossfire of war, he fell squarely in the crosshairs of avenging soldiers and was unfairly convicted of treason. Sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor in an infamous penal colony on a faraway planet, his courage won him the admiration of his fellow convicts. While plotting his escape, an enemy attacked the planet, giving this daring warrior his chance. Together with his fellow prisoners, he launched a bold assault and hijacked the enemy ...

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is not a revolutionary new technology. Instead, it is better to think of this as being a new way of organizing computer network functionality. SDN allows the network to be virtualized. That's where the real power of SDN comes from, and that's what we'll be exploring in this book.

Megatrends such as climate change, urbanization, new work practices, and aging populations are starting to impact how we move and how we transport goods, as well as the decisions we make about consumer transportation and logistics. The Flagship Experience discusses how Software-Defined Vehicles and AI will enable automakers, transportation providers, and transportation planners to reimagine the mobility customer experience, and presents a framework for implementing it.

This book is designed to teach children the fundamentals of Python programming in a way that is engaging, interactive, and easy to follow. With the help of hands-on projects, fun examples, and interactive exercises, kids will learn how to code in just seven days. Python is a popular programming language that is used by developers to build a wide range of applications, including games, websites, and data analysis tools. It is a great language for beginners because of its simple syntax.

Simply put, an algorithm is a set of instructions-it's the code that makes computers run. A basic idea that proved elusive for hundreds of years and bent the minds of the greatest thinkers in the world, the algorithm is what made the modern world possible. Without the algorithm, there would have been no computer, no Internet, no virtual reality, no e-mail, or any other technological advance that we rely on every day.

Algorithms of the Intelligent Web, Second Edition teaches you how to create machine learning applications that crunch and wrangle data collected from users, web applications, and website logs. In this totally revised edition, you'll look at intelligent algorithms that extract real value from data. Key machine learning concepts are explained with code examples in Python's scikit-learn. This book guides you through algorithms to capture, store, and structure data streams coming from the web.
