Relativistic Classical Mechanics and Electrodynamics (PDF) offers classical relativistic mechanics and electrodynamics in the Feynman-Stueckelberg event-oriented framework formalized by Piron and Horwitz. The complete apparatus of classical analytical mechanics is generalized to relativistic form by swapping Galilean covariance with manifest Lorentz covariance and introducing a coordinate-independent parameter to play the

Brain and Behavior: A Cognitive Neuroscience Perspective (PDF) addresses the main aims of cognitive neuroscience, seeking to explore the brain not only by its components but also by their functions. It emphasizes the principles, discoveries, and remaining question marks of modern cognitive neuroscience. Brain and Behavior covers an extensive swath

Genetics: Analysis and Principles 6th edition is a one-semester, introductory genetics etextbook that takes an experimental approach to understanding genetics. By weaving 1 or 2 experiments into the narrative of each chapter, science students can simultaneously explore the scientific method and understand the genetic principles that have been learned from

Structural Wood Design: ASD/LRFD, 2nd Edition, (PDF) provides a brief and practical guide to timber design, employing both the Allowable Stress Design and the Load and Resistance Factor Design methods. It suits students in structural, civil, and construction engineering programs as well as architecture and engineering technology programs, and also

The Present-day Introduction to Deep Reinforcement Learning that Combines Theory and Practice Deep reinforcement learning (deep RL) integrates deep learning and reinforcement learning, in which artificial agents learn to solve sequential decision-making problems. In the last decade deep RL has attained remarkable results on a range of problems, from single
