Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the mathematical aspects of quantum computing. It will be useful for graduate students and researchers interested in quantum computing from different areas of physics, mathematics, informatics and computer science. The lecture notes in this volume are written in a self-contained style, and hence are accessible for graduate students and researchers with even less background in the topics.  <i>Sample Chapter(s)</i><br>Quantum Computing: An Overview (804 KB)<br> <br><i>Contents:</i><ul><li>Quantum Computing: An Overview <i>(M Nakahara)</i></li><li>B

Sommario/riassunto

Introducing the Language of the News is a comprehensive introduction to the language of news reporting. Assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics, the book provides an accessible analysis of the processes that produce news language, and discusses how different linguistic choices promote different interpretations of news texts. Key features include:comprehensive coverage of both print and online news, including news design and layout, story structure, the role of headlines and leads, style, grammar and vocabularya range of contemporary examples in the international press, from the 2012 Olympic
