Bøger af Ron Graham

Dr. Ron Graham was trained as an engineer, and worked for NASA for more than 12 years. He received further training as an educator and taught in secondary schools for three years, and on the college level for eight. He was bullied throughout his youth, and ultimately found No Such Thing as a Bully - an organization in which he is now a partner - to have the answers to ongoing bullying problems. Dr. Ron suffered, and recovered from a stroke in 2012. The stroke paralyzed his right side, and through therapy he relearned basic functions, leading to a nearly 100% complete recovery. On the way, he underwent a transformation in his character, moving from doubt and bitterness to confidence and positivity. This book documents his recovery and what he learned from it. Much of what he learned may be available to nearly any stroke patient.

A revised, updated and expanded edition of the "Manual of Aerial Photography". It covers advances in aerial photography and data acquisition including GPS-based and DGPS navigation and digital imagery. All relevant information on air survey practices, methods and theory has been retained.

A tribute to Paul Erdos, the mathematician once described as the prince of problem solvers and absolute monarch of problem posers. The book examines the legacy of open problems he left to the world of mathematics after his death in 1996.

Magical Mathematics reveals the secrets of fun-to-perform card tricks-and the profound mathematical ideas behind them-that will astound even the most accomplished magician. Persi Diaconis and Ron Graham provide easy, step-by-step instructions for each trick, explaining how to set up the effect and offering tips on what to say and do while performing it. Each card trick introduces a new mathematical idea, and varying the tricks in turn takes readers to the very threshold of today's mathematical knowledge.Diaconis and Graham tell the stories-and reveal the best tricks-of the eccentric and brilliant inventors of mathematical magic. The book exposes old gambling secrets through the mathematics of shuffling cards, explains the classic street-gambling scam of three-card Monte, traces the history of mathematical magic back to the oldest mathematical trick-and much more.

This new edition is a definitive handbook of digital imaging, enabling the reader to understand the technology, terms, relationships and to follow developments in this rapidly growing sector of imaging.

A comprehensive manual that examines the systems available for data capture and photogrammetic processing. Included within the 12 chapters are the principles of digital systems, digital aerial photography, cameras, survey-camera mountings, survey navigation, GPS and (d)GPS systems.

Forms a complete guide to aerial photography operations using small cameras. From the basics of mapping, measurement and photography to all technical details of planning a survey to numerous applications and case studies, this book enables readers to understand all aspects of the subject.
