Taylor & Francis Ltd Foundations of Reinforcement Learning with
Book SynopsisFoundations of Reinforcement Learning with Applications in Finance aims to demystify Reinforcement Learning, and to make it a practically useful tool for those studying and working in applied areas especially finance.Reinforcement Learning is emerging as a powerful technique for solving a variety of complex problems across industries that involve Sequential Optimal Decisioning under Uncertainty. Its penetration in high-profile problems like self-driving cars, robotics, and strategy games points to a future where Reinforcement Learning algorithms will have decisioning abilities far superior to humans. But when it comes getting educated in this area, there seems to be a reluctance to jump right in, because Reinforcement Learning appears to have acquired a reputation for being mysterious and technically challenging.This book strives to impart a lucid and insightful understanding of the topic by emphasizing the foundational mathematics and implemTrade Review“This book is a nice addition to the literature on Reinforcement Learning (RL), offering comprehensive coverage of both foundational RL techniques and their applications in the field of finance. It has the potential to be a foundational reference for both practitioners and researchers in finance. The book delves into essential RL concepts such as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), Dynamic Programming, Policy Optimization, Actor-Critic models, Multi-armed Bandits, and Regret Bounds.Despite its finance-oriented approach, individuals without an extensive financial background but possessing a decent machine learning (ML) background will find it easy to read this book.By encompassing all of the major asset classes including equities, fixed income and derivatives, the book caters to a broad range of readers, enabling them to apply RL techniques to diverse financial scenarios. In summary, this book is an outstanding resource that combines RL fundamentals with practical applications in finance.” – Natesh Pillai, Department of Statistics, Harvard University, Unites States of AmericaTable of ContentsSection I.

Taylor & Francis Ltd ClientCentered Software Development
Book SynopsisClient-Centered Software Development: The CO-FOSS Approach introduces a method to creating a customized software product for a single client, either from scratch or by reusing open source components. The clients are typically non-profit humanitarian, educational, or public service organizations. This approach has been used in undergraduate courses where students learn the principles of software development while implementing a real-world software product. This book provides instructors, students, clients, and professional software developers with detailed guidance for developing a new CO-FOSS product from conceptualization to completion.Features Provides instructors, students, clients, and professional software developers with a roadmap for the development of a new CO-FOSS product from conceptualization to completion Motivates students with real-world projects and community service experiences Trade Review"This all-inclusive text integrates the "soft skills" of working with an open-source software client with the "hard skills" of Web application development in PHP, while supporting faculty with project identification and development." -- Janet Davis, Whitman College, Walla Walla, WA, USA "Client-Centered Software Development: The CO-FOSS Approach provides a practical instructional roadmap for engaging students in experiential learning about software development. The text is enriched by hard-won experiences gleaned from years of tuning the authors' approach."-- Jim Bowring, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science, College of Charleston "This book is a practical and valuable guide for students and faculty to engage in Open Source Software projects.

Elsevier Science & Technology Complete Maya Programming: An Extensive Guide to MEL and C++ API
Book SynopsisLearning Maya, the world's leading 3D animation and effects package, is a challenge, especially for those who want to master Maya's versatile programming features in addition to its built-in tools. Finally, here is a practical, step-by-step guide that shows how to use Maya to its fullest potential, beginning with the basics. Readers of Complete Maya Programming will first gain a thorough understanding of Maya's inner workings, and then learn how to customize and extend Maya with scripts and plugins that take control and productivity to new levels. Users new to programming can apply Maya's easy scripting language MEL (Maya Embedded Language), while more advanced users can work with the C++ API (Application Progamming Interface). Both a fundamental tutorial for Maya beginners and a solid reference for experienced developers, Complete Maya Programming is every user's guide to Maya mastery.Trade Review"David's book is an excellent learning tool and reference for novice and veteran Maya developers alike. Maya developers can become more productive with MEL and the Maya API by applying what they learn from this book." --Tracy Narine, Maya API Technical Lead, Alias"David Gould is an expert at using, programming, and teaching Maya, and it shows. People who need to program Maya will find this book essential. Even Maya users who don't intend to do extensive programming should read this book for a better understanding of what's going on under the hood. Compact yet thorough, it covers both MEL and the C++ API, and is written to be informative for both novice and expert programmers. Highly recommended!" --Larry Gritz, Exluna/NVIDIA, co-author of Advanced RenderMan"This book should be required reading for all Maya programmers, novice and expert alike. For the novice, it provides a thorough and wonderfully well thought-out hands-on tutorial and introduction to Maya. The book's greatest contribution, however, is that in it David shares his deep understanding of Maya's fundamental concepts and architecture, so that even the expert can learn to more effectively exploit Maya's rich and powerful programming interfaces." --Philip J. Schneider, Disney Feature Animation, co-author of Geometric Tools for Computer Graphics"Having provided a technical review of David Gould's Complete Maya Programming, I must say that this book is the definitive text for scripting and plug-in development for Maya. Never before has there been such a concise and clearly written guide to programming for Maya. Any user smart enough to pick up this book would be better off for it." --Chris Rock, technical director at "a Large Animation Studio in Northern California"If you ever wanted to open the Maya toolbox, this is your guide. With clear step-by-step instructions, you will soon be able to customize and improve the application, as well as create your own extensions, either through the MEL scripting language or the full C++ API." --Christophe Hery, Industrial Light & MagicTable of Contents1 Introduction; 2 Fundamental Maya Concepts; 3 MEL; 4 C++ API, Appendices: A: Additional Resources; B: MEL for C Programmers; C: Further Reading

Book SynopsisThis book may be used as a self-contained manual for BBC-BASIC, the main language of the BBC Microcomputer and Master Series Computers. Information is presented in a form handy for reference. Page 163, for example, tabulates all characters in the ASCII range; pages 124-5 summarize all information needed when composing screens of MODE 7 graphics. A quick reference to all functions and operators is given on page 179; the syntax of every statement and command of BBC-Basic is summarized on pages 180-1. But there is more to this book. How do you make a computer sort names into alphabetical order? Not as obvious as it might seem. Three different sorting techniques are explained by example in this book: bubble sort, monkey puzzle (more formally the 'binary tree') and Quicksort relies on 'recursion' - an important programming concept which is explained and demonstrated. Making coloured objects rebound around the walls of a squash court is another technique demonstrated; so is making voices sinTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Introductory example; 2. Rudiments; 3.
