With an extensive background in teaching and researching children’s uses of drawing, Gill Hope describes the ways in which multiple forms of drawing are used by elementary school children. She explains why it should be actively promoted as a means of supporting thinking and learning across a wide range of subject areas, and provides practical support for teachers.
The popularity of dinosaurs seems never ending, fuelled by films such as Jurassic Park and documentaries like Walking with Dinosaurs. The story behind the exciting scientific discoveries that have given us a picture of how dinosaurs looked, what they ate, and how they moved and interacted with one another. This is the first book to tell the general reader about what's really happening in modern dinosaur research.
Perspectives in Mathematical Sciences II: Pure MathematicsThis book presents a collection of invited articles by distinguished Mathematicians on the occasion of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of the Indian Statistical Institute, during the year 2007. These articles provide a current perspective of different areas of research, emphasizing the major challenging issues. Given the very significant record of the Institute in research in the areas of Statistics, Probability and Mathematics, distinguished authors have very admirably responded to the invitation.
Codes over Rings (Series on Coding Theory and Cryptology)This is the proceedings volume of the International Centre for Pure and Applied Mathematics Summer School course held in Ankara, Turkey, in August 2008. Contributors include Greferath, Honold, Landgev, Ling, Lopez, Nebe, Nechaev, A-zbudak, Sole, Wolfmann and Wood. The aim is to present a survey in fundamental areas and highlight some recent results.
The application of graph theory to modelling systems began in several scientific areas, among them statistical physics (the study of large particle systems), genetics (studying inheritable properties of natural species), and interactions in contingency tables. The use of graphical models in statistics has increased considerably in these and other areas such as artificial intelligence, and the theory has been greatly developed and extended. This is the first comprehensive and authoritative account of the theory of graphical models.
