Sommario/riassunto

Band 20 schildert die Entwicklungsgeschichte des Pulitzer-Preises für Biographien und Autobiographien von 1917 bis 2006. Die kompletten Jury-Protokolle aus diesem Zeitraum werden als Faksimiles hier zugänglich gemacht. Auf diese Weise werden die Entscheidungsprozesse transparent, die zu den jeweiligen Gewinnern bei den jährlichen Preisvergaben führten. Zu den Preisträgern zählten u. a. der spätere US-Präsident John F. Kennedy, der Diplomat George F. Kennan und der Flugpionier Charles Lindbergh.

Volume 20 of the series describes the development of the award for Biographies and Autobiographies from 1917 through 2006. In addition, the complete jury reports from this period are reprinted by facsimile. So it can be documented how the annual deliberations went until a winner was selected. Among the prize-winners were John F. Kennedy before his presidency, the diplomat George F. Kennan or the aviator Charles Lindbergh.

Sommario/riassunto

Data mining essentially relies on several mathematical disciplines, many of which are presented in this second edition of this book.  Topics include partially ordered sets, combinatorics,  general topology, metric spaces, linear spaces, graph theory.  To motivate the reader a significant number of applications of these mathematical tools are included ranging from association rules, clustering algorithms, classification, data constraints, logical data analysis, etc.  The book is intended as a reference for researchers and graduate students.  The current edition is a significant expansion of the first edition.  We strived to make the book self-contained, and only a general knowledge of mathematics is required.  More than 700 exercises are included and they form an integral part of the material.  Many exercises are in reality supplemental material and their solutions are included.
