Unknown to him, others in the party have very different agendas, notably the surgeon, Dr Potter, who is developing a revolutionary and sinister thesis of his own on the races of man. To complicate matters further, the ship Wilson has hurriedly chartered, crewed by Captain Kewley and his secretive Manxmen, is in fact an ill-starred smuggling vessel, its hidden compartments filled with contraband brandy and tobacco. As the vessel journeys haplessly southwards, in Tasmania itself an Aboriginal named Peevay recounts his people's struggle against the invading British, who prove as lethal in their good intentions as in their cruelty. This is no Eden but a world of hunting parties and colonial ethnic cleansing. As the English passengers near Peevay's land, their bizarre notions ever more painfully at odds with reality, it grows clear that a mighty collision is approaching. 517 $aEnglish Passengers 676 $a823.9/14 700 $aKneale$b Matthew$0766556 702 $aCallow$b Simon$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910148891003321 996 $aEnglish Passengers$93651202 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03006nam 22005295 450 001 9910299350503321 005 20200705132919.0 010 $a3-319-97940-X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-97940-3 035 $a(CKB)4100000005958180 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-97940-3 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6314426 035 $a(PPN)229919642 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000005958180 100 $a20180821d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aComputational Thinking $eFirst Algorithms, Then Code /$fby Paolo Ferragina, Fabrizio Luccio 205 $a1st ed. 2018. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2018. 215 $a1 online resource (VIII, 174 p.) 311 $a3-319-97939-6 327 $aA Brief Historical Outline -- A Problem with Which to Begin -- Algorithms and Coding -- The Tournament -- A Financial Problem -- Secret Messages -- Putting Things in Order -- "Easy" and "Difficult" Problems -- Search Engines -- Data Compression -- Recursion. 330 $aThis book offers a gentle motivation and introduction to computational thinking, in particular to algorithms and how they can be coded to solve significant, topical problems from domains such as finance, cryptography, Web search, and data compression. The book is suitable for undergraduate students in computer science, engineering, and applied mathematics, university students in other fields, high-school students with an interest in STEM subjects, and professionals who want an insight into algorithmic solutions and the related mindset. While the authors assume only basic mathematical knowledge, they uphold the scientific rigor that is indispensable for transforming general ideas into executable algorithms. A supporting website contains examples and Python code for implementing the algorithms in the book. 606 $aAlgorithms 606 $aSoftware engineering 606 $aAlgorithm Analysis and Problem Complexity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16021 606 $aAlgorithms$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14018 606 $aSoftware Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14002 615 0$aAlgorithms. 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 14$aAlgorithm Analysis and Problem Complexity. 615 24$aAlgorithms. 615 24$aSoftware Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems. 676 $a005.1 700 $aFerragina$b Paolo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$066343 702 $aLuccio$b Fabrizio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299350503321 996 $aComputational Thinking$92289008 997 $aUNINA
