After 10 years of exploring the possibilities and ways to integrate Research-by-Design into Architecture Design Studio Teaching and PhD Theses in Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urbanism at various universities in Europe and around the world, the time has come to investigate these matured/maturing research approaches in relation to existing paradigms of architectural research & design. DR_SoM is reporting from a series of academic workshops and seminars, organised by ARENA, an intern...

This thesis examines the development of technology campuses as built environments and their role in stimulating innovation. Technology campuses entail a variety of built environments developed to accommodate technology-driven research activities of multiple organisations. The science park is the most common type of technology campus. Other types include the campuses of universities of technology and corporate R&D parks.

How much faith should we place in what scientists tell us? Is it possible for scientific knowledge to be fully 'objective'? What, really, can be defined as science? In the second edition of this Very Short Introduction, Samir Okasha explores the main themes and theories of contemporary philosophy of science, and investigates fascinating, challenging questions such as these. Starting at the very beginning, with a concise overview of the history of science, Okasha examines the nature of fundame...

Haskell is a purely functional language that allows programmers to rapidly develop clear, concise, and correct software. The language has grown in popularity in recent years, both in teaching and in industry. This book is based on the author's experience of teaching Haskell for more than twenty years.

All concepts are explained from first principles and no programming experience is required, making this book accessible to a broad spectrum of readers. While Part I focuses on basic concepts, Pa...

Holt's Linear Algebra with Applications, Second Edition, blends computational and conceptual topics throughout to prepare students for the rigors of conceptual thinking in an abstract setting. The early treatment of conceptual topics in the context of Euclidean space gives students more time, and a familiar setting, in which to absorb them. This organization also makes it possible to treat eigenvalues and eigenvectors earlier than in most texts. Abstract vector spaces are introduced later, on...

For junior/senior undergraduates taking probability and statistics as applied to engineering, science, or computer science. This classic text provides a rigorous introduction to basic probability theory and statistical inference, with a unique balance between theory and methodology. Interesting, relevant applications use real data from actual studies, showing how the concepts and methods can be used to solve problems in the field.

This revision focuses on improved clarity and deeper understan...

Bais op z'n best eindelijk in paperback. Waarom kan niets sneller gaan dan het licht? En waarom lopen bewegende klokken langzamer? In 'De sublieme eenvoud van relativiteit' laat succesauteur Sander Bais de lezer op een weergaloze maar toch toegankelijke manier kennismaken met een van de meest baanbrekende en onovertroffen theorieën uit de natuurkunde. De relativiteitstheorie betekende een radicaal keerpunt in ons begrip van ruimte, tijd, massa en energie. Dit fraai uitgevoerde boek voert je ...

MULTATULI (1820-1887) was wellicht in ons land de eerste die zich heeft gewaagd aan een studie over de tegenstelling tussen de vooruitgang van de wetenschap en de belemmering ervan door het opdringen van vooroordelen en de incompetentie van onderzoekers.In een voordracht voor het dispuutgezelschap Vrije Studie van het Delftsch Studenten Corps definieerde hij die Vrye Studie als het onbelemmerd streven naar waarheid.Zijn stellingen worden door de auteur van dit essay verder uitgewerkt aan de h...
