Inductive Logic Edited by Dov M. Gabbay and John Woods

2 BLACKWELLRECOMMENDS

A unique, comprehensive and documented collection of more than 2000 simulations in mathematics and physics which are available on our website. For introductory courses in mathematics for engineering and sciences.

This book includes clear explanations of protocols, up-to-date techniques and comprehensive coverage of the topics of importance to networking professionals and students, including P2P, wireless, security and applications.

Bridges the gap between basic probability and an intermediate level course in stochastic processes. The objectives of the text are to introduce students to the standard concepts and methods of stochastic modeling and to illustrate the diversity of applications of stochastic processes in the applied sciences.

Inductive Logic is a research field where philosophers and scientists interact.

This handbook covers the rich history of scientific turning points in Inductive Logic, including probability theory and decision theory.
