NahinSome probability problems are so difficult that they stump the smartest mathematicians. But even the hardest of these problems can often be solved with a computer and a Monte Carlo simulation, in which a random-number generator simulates a physical process, such as a million rolls of a pair of dice. This is what Digital Dice is all about: how to get numerical answers to difficult probability problems without having to solve complicated mathematical equations. Popular-math writer Paul Nahin challenges readers to solve twenty-one difficult but fun problems, from determining the odds of coin-flipping games to figuring out the behavior of elevators. Problems build from relatively easy (deciding whether a dishwasher who breaks most of the dishes at a restaurant during a given week is clumsy or just the victim of randomness) to the very difficult (tackling branching processes of the kind that had to be solved by Manhattan Project mathematician Stanislaw Ulam). In his characteristic style, Nahin brings the problems to life with interesting and odd historical anecdotes. Readers learn, for example, not just how to determine the optimal stopping point in any selection process but that astronomer Johannes Kepler selected his second wife by interviewing eleven women. The book shows readers how to write elementary computer codes using any common programming language, and provides solutions and line-by-line walk-throughs of a MATLAB code for each problem. Digital Dice will appeal to anyone who enjoys popular math or computer science. In a new preface, Nahin wittily addresses some of the responses he received to the first edition.Princeton PuzzlersMathematicsHILCCPhysical Sciences & MathematicsHILCCMathematical StatisticsHILCCMathematicsPhysical Sciences & MathematicsMathematical Statistics519.2076Nahin Paul J.48655DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910779321403321Digital Dice3797792UNINA01628nas 2200529- 450 99649577180331620221125213018.0(CKB)2550000001347960(CONSER)--2014339153(EXLCZ)99255000000134796020140625a20129999 --- -aratxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrieral-ʻAmīdKarbalāʼ al-Muqaddasah, Jumhūriyat al-ʻIrāq :al-ʻAtabah al-ʻAbbāsīyah al-Muqaddasah1 online resourceEach issue has also a distinctive title."Majallah faṣlīyah muḥakkamah."Title from title page.Print version: al-ʻAmīd. 2227-0345 (DLC) 2014339153 (OCoLC)881708637 ʻAmeedMajallat al-ʻAmīdAl-ʻameed journalAl-ʻameedIslamPeriodicalsShiitesPeriodicalsShīʻahPeriodicalsIslamfast(OCoLC)fst00979776Shīʻahfast(OCoLC)fst01117946Shiitesfast(OCoLC)fst01115976Criticism, interpretation, etc.fastPeriodicals.fastPeriodicals.lcgftIslamShiitesShīʻahIslam.Shīʻah.Shiites.ʻAtabah al-ʻAbbāsīyah al-Muqaddasah,JOURNAL996495771803316exl_impl conversionAl-ʻAmīd2966621UNISA03823oam 2200697 c 450 99634422460331620240308225033.03-7328-5183-43-8394-5183-310.14361/9783839451830(CKB)4100000011248628(DE-B1597)544779(DE-B1597)9783839451830(OCoLC)1158174608(MiAaPQ)EBC6760045(Au-PeEL)EBL6760045(transcript Verlag)9783839451830(MiAaPQ)EBC30494893(Au-PeEL)EBL30494893(ScCtBLL)afadacbf-6977-42cd-82d6-ff7b7dc5d124(EXLCZ)99410000001124862820220221d2020 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSocializing DevelopmentTransnational Social Movement Advocacy and the Human Rights Accountability of Multilateral Development BanksLeon Valentin Schettler1st ed.Bielefeldtranscript Verlag2020Bielefeld :transcript Verlag,2020.1 online resource (274 p.)Soziale Bewegung und Protest23-8376-5183-5 Frontmatter 1 Contents 5 Acknowledgements 9 Abstract 11 List of Abbreviations 15 Introduction 17 1.

Leon Valentin Schettler presents a novel causal mechanism of movement advocacy towards MDBs, combining disruptive and conventional tactics. Systematically comparing the evolution of human rights standards and complaint mechanisms over the last three decades, he reveals how the combination of 1) declining US hegemony, 2) counter-mobilization by China and 3) movement cooptation by the World Bank bureaucracy led to a dilution of human rights accountability in the 2010s.Besprochen in: www.centrum3.at, 9 (2020)Soziale Bewegung und Protest Human Rights; Development; Social Movements; World Bank; Society; Neoliberalism; Economy; Politics; International Relations; Finance; Political Science; Process Tracing;Development.Economy.Finance.International Relations.Neoliberalism.Political Science.Politics.Process Tracing.Social Movements.Society.World Bank.Human Rights; Development; Social Movements; World Bank; Society; Neoliberalism; Economy; Politics; International Relations; Finance; Political Science; Process Tracing;330MR 5600rvkSchettler Leon ValentinBrot für die Welt Berlin, Deutschlandaut1204721transcript: Open Library 2020 (Politik)fndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996344224603316Socializing Development2780406UNISA
