2. 3 Title: Traffic and highway engineering
Author : Nicholas J. Garber, Lester A. Hoel,
Raju Sarkar.
The new edition of Garber and Hoel's best-selling text focuses on giving
students insight into all facets of traffic and highway engineering. Students
generally come to this course with little knowledge or understanding of the
importance of transportation, much less of the extensive career opportunities
within the field. Transportation is an extremely broad field, and courses must
either cover all transportation modes or focus on specifics. While many topics
can be covered with a survey approach, this often lacks sufficient depth and
students leave the course without a full understanding of any of the fields. This
text focuses exclusively on traffic and highway engineering beginning with a
discussion of the pivotal role transportation plays in our society, including
employment opportunities, historical impact, and the impact of transportation on
our daily lives. This approach gives students a sense of what the field is about
as well as an opportunity to consider some of its challenges. Later chapters
focus on specific issues facing transportation engineers. The text uses
pedagogical tools such as worked problems, diagrams and tables, reference
material, and realistic examples to demonstrate how the material is applied.

4 Title : Reinforcement learning : an
introduction
Author
Author : Richard S. Sutton and Andrew G.
Barto.
Reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial
intelligence, is a computational approach to learning whereby an agent tries to
maximize the total amount of reward it receives when interacting with a
complex, uncertain environment. In Reinforcement Learning, Richard Sutton and
Andrew Barto provide a clear and simple account of the key ideas and
algorithms of reinforcement learning. Their discussion ranges from the history of
the field's intellectual foundations to the most recent developments and
applications. The only necessary mathematical background is familiarity with
elementary concepts of probability.The book is divided into three parts. Part I
defines the reinforcement learning problem in terms of Markov decision
processes. Part II provides basic solution methods: dynamic programming,
Monte Carlo methods, and temporal-difference learning. Part III presents a
unified view of the solution methods and incorporates artificial neural networks,

3. eligibility traces, and planning; the two final chapters present case studies and
consider the future of reinforcement learning.

5 Title: Neural networks and learning machines
itle:
Author : Simon Haykin.
For graduate-level neural network courses offered in the departments of
Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science.
Renowned for its thoroughness and readability, this well-organized and
completely up-to-date text remains the most comprehensive treatment of neural
networks from an engineering perspective. Refocused, revised and renamed to
reflect the duality of neural networks and learning machines, this edition
recognizes that the subject matter is richer when these topics are studied
together. Ideas drawn from neural networks and machine learning are
hybridized to perform improved learning tasks beyond the capability of either
independently.

6 Title : Ideals, varieties, and algorithms : an
algorithms
introduction to computational algebraic
geometry and commutative algebra
Author : David A. Cox, John Little, Donal O'Shea.
Algebraic Geometry is the study of systems of polynomial equations in one or
more variables, asking such questions as: Does the system have finitely many
solutions, and if so how can one find them? And if there are infinitely many
solutions, how can they be described and manipulated? The solutions of a
system of polynomial equations form a geometric object called a variety; the
corresponding algebraic object is an ideal. There is a close relationship between
ideals and varieties which reveals the intimate link between algebra and
geometry. Written at a level appropriate to undergraduates, this book covers
such topics as the Hilbert Basis Theorem, the Nullstellensatz, invariant theory,
projective geometry, and dimension theory. The algorithms to answer questions
such as those posed above are an important part of algebraic geometry.

4. 7 Title : Algebraic geometry
Author:
Author: Robin Hartshorne.
An introduction to abstract algebraic geometry, with the only prerequisites being
results from commutative algebra, which are stated as needed, and some
elementary topology. More than 400 exercises distributed throughout the book
offer specific examples as well as more specialised topics not treated in the
main text, while three appendices present brief accounts of some areas of
current research. This book can thus be used as textbook for an introductory
course in algebraic geometry following a basic graduate course in algebra.

8 Title:
Title A first course in modular forms
Author:
Author: Fred Diamond, Jerry Shurman.
This book introduces the theory of modular forms, from which all rational elliptic
curves arise, with an eye toward the Modularity Theorem. Discussion covers
elliptic curves as complex tori and as algebraic curves; modular curves as
Riemann surfaces and as algebraic curves; Hecke operators and Atkin-Lehner
theory; Hecke eigenforms and their arithmetic properties; the Jacobians of
modular curves and the Abelian varieties associated to Hecke eigenforms. As it
presents these ideas, the book states the Modularity Theorem in various forms,
relating them to each other and touching on their applications to number theory.
The authors assume no background in algebraic number theory and algebraic
geometry. Exercises are included.

15 Title : Pattern recognition and machine
recognition
learning
Author:
Author: Christopher M. Bishop.
This is the first textbook on pattern recognition to present the Bayesian
viewpoint. The book presents approximate inference algorithms that permit fast
approximate answers in situations where exact answers are not feasible. It uses
graphical models to describe probability distributions when no other books apply
graphical models to machine learning. No previous knowledge of pattern
recognition or machine learning concepts is assumed. Familiarity with
multivariate calculus and basic linear algebra is required, and some experience
in the use of probabilities would be helpful though not essential as the book
includes a self-contained introduction to basic probability theory.

its readers a consistently superb pedagogical style and explains complex
subjects and concepts clearly, using both mathematics and heuristics. This new
edition seamlessly incorporates many new technological advances in Lathi's
trademark style of user-friendliness and high readability. The text begins by
introducing students to a panoramic view of communication systems, explaining
important concepts of communication theory in a heuristic way. Only after a
solid introduction to basic communication systems is analysis of communication
systems requiring probability and random processes presented. The authors use
real world examples to capture the students' attention and enable them to easily

The text features easy-to-understand examples and MatLab exercises to clarify
mathematical results and proofs. Among the newly introduced topics are spread
spectrum communications and orthogonal frequency devision multiplexing
(OFDM), error connection coding, soft-decoding, turbo codes and low density
parity check (LDPC) codes. To better motivate various topics, the text provides
many related applications including the latest wire-line (DSL) services, cellular
systems, and the wireless local area networks (LANs). This unique text is highly
informative, interactive, and accessible to beginning students as well as
seasoned practitioners.
