Dall'ingegneria genetica alla previsione degli uragani, i modelli matematici guidano gran parte del processo decisionale. nella nostra società, e se i presupposti e i metodi alla base della modellazione sono imperfetti, il risultato può essere disastrosamente povero, come hanno dimostrato gli eventi recenti. Poiché la modellazione matematica è una specialità in rapida crescita con applicazioni in così tante discipline scientifiche e tecniche, c'è la necessità di trattamenti matematicamente rigorosi della materia, e in particolare di testi che espongono gli studenti a una gamma di possibili approcci." 606 0 $aModelli matematici$2BNCF 676 $a511.8 700 1$aMEERSCHAERT,$bMark M.$f1955-$053538 801 0$aIT$bcba$cREICAT 912 $a996461149603316 959 $aEB 969 $aER 996 $aMathematical modeling$91144083 997 $aUNISA LEADER 01176nam 22003973 450 001 9910132000803321 005 20020723000000.0 010 $a88-87543-20-8 035 $a(CKB)3400000000018891 035 $a(ItFiC)it 02414811 035 $a(EXLCZ)993400000000018891 100 $a20101102d2002 uy 0 101 0 $aita 200 12$aL'uomo che passa $escritti del futurismo inediti e rari /$fLeonardo Castellani ; a cura di Tiziana Mattioli 210 $aPesaro $cMetauro$d2002 215 $a258 p., [8] leaves of plates $cmostly col. ill. ;$d24 cm 225 0$aTesti 300 $aCollected writings, partly publ. for the first time. 300 $a50 numbered copies printed. 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 517 $aUomo che passa 517 $aL'uomo che passa 676 $a858 676 $a851 676 $a759 676 $a709 676 $a730 676 $a853 700 $aCastellani$b Leonardo$f1896-1984.$01023512 701 $aMattioli$b Tiziana$0296134 801 0$bItFiC 801 1$bItFiC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910132000803321 996 $aL'uomo che passa$92862050 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03723nam 2200673 450 001 9910797631903321 005 20210430003620.0 010 $a0-231-54049-3 024 7 $a10.7312/will17082 035 $a(CKB)3710000000485552 035 $a(EBL)4414133 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001554927 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16181720 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001554927 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14818317 035 $a(PQKB)10376541 035 $a(DE-B1597)458550 035 $a(OCoLC)922451476 035 $a(OCoLC)940679976 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780231540490 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4582094 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11242203 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL838508 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4582094 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000485552 100 $a20160823h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|nu---|u||u 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe con men $ehustling in New York City /$fTerry Williams and Trevor B.

Terry Williams and Trevor B. Milton, two prominent sociologists and ethnographers, spent years with New York con artists to uncover their secrets. The result is an unprecedented view into how con games operate, whether in back alleys and side streets or in police precincts and Wall Street boiler rooms. Whether it's selling bootleg goods, playing the numbers, squatting rent-free, scamming tourists with bogus stories, selling knockoffs on Canal Street, or crafting Ponzi schemes, con artists use verbal persuasion, physical misdirection, and sheer charm to convince others to do what they want. Williams and Milton examine this act of performance art and find meaning in its methods to exact bounty from unsuspecting tourists and ordinary New Yorkers alike. Through their sophisticated exploration of the personal experiences and influences that create a successful hustler, they build a portrait of unusual emotional and psychological depth. Their work also offers a new take on structure and opportunity, showing how the city's unique urban and social architecture lends itself to the perfect con. 410 0$aStudies in transgression. 606 $aCrime$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aCriminals$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aPolice$zNew York (State)$zNew York 615 0$aCrime 615 0$aCriminals 615 0$aPolice 676 $a364.16/3097471 686 $aZH 9400$2rvk 700 $aWilliams$b Terry M$g(Terry Moses),$f1948-$01558897 702 $aMilton$b Trevor$f1976- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797631903321 996 $aThe con men$93823713 997 $aUNINA
