Sommario/riassunto |
|
To develop your confidence in F#, this tutorial will first introduce you to simpler tasks such as curve fitting. You will then advance to more complex tasks such as implementing algorithms for trading semi-automation in a practical scenario-based format.If you are a data analyst or a practitioner in quantitative finance, economics, or mathematics and wish to learn how to use F# as a functional programming language, this book is for you. You should have a basic conceptual understanding of financial concepts and models. Elementary knowledge of the .NET framework would also be helpful. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book is one of two volumes that examines the role of political communication, media and language in transforming politics, governance and democracy in southern Africa. Interdisciplinary in approach, this first volume assesses themes including participatory politics, mass media, digital censorship, and social media in Sub-Saharan politics. It also considers how politicians utilise language and the media to legitimate their authority, influence citizens’ behaviour, and the ways in which they vote. It will appeal to all those interested in governance, political communication, media studies and African politics. Isaac Mhute is Associate Professor in the Department of Language, Literature and Culture Studies, Midlands State University, Zimbabwe and Senior Research Associate in the Faculty of Humanities, University of Johannesburg, South Africa. Esther Mavengano is Lecturer in the Department of English and Media Studies, Great Zimbabwe University, Zimbabwe and a Research Fellow at Technische Universität Dresden, Germany. . |
