Dear YLUG members, My degree has recently concluded and soon I will be moving to a humbler abode lacking the space to keep all my books.
Hence, hoping to find a loving home, I am auctioning off the following items which I think may be of interest to the people reading this list: * The essence of neural networks (Callan) * Fundamentals of neural networks (Fausett) * Neural computing (Jackson) * Introduction to the theory of Neural Computation (Hertz et al) * Endless forms most beautiful (Carrol) [useful background for non-standard comp.] * Lisp {3rd ed} (Winston & Horn) [basic, academic intro to Common Lisp. Nice examples] * Programming in Erlang (Armstrong) {1st ed.} * Structure and Interpretation of Computer Program [OK, I might consider giving this away as an act of zealotry, some marking/highlighting, decent condition] * Elements of Information Theory, India edition (Cover & Thomas) * Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation (Hopcroft et el) {3rd ed.} * Modern compiler implementation in ML, basic techniques (Appel) * Discrete Mathematics for Computer Scientists (Truss) * Introduction to Linear Algebra {4th ed.} (Strang) * Euclid's Elements [you might say WTF, but the reasoning in this book is still helpful for developing your problem solving skills IMO] * AI a modern approach {3rd ed} (Novig & Russel) * Fundamentals of Algorithmics (Brassard & Bratley) [quite unknown, but one of the better intro to algs & ds books out there. nice examples] * ANSI Common Lisp (Graham) [quite bad condition, spine pretty battered, still readable of course] * Programming Language Essentials (Bal & Grune) * Coders at Work (Seibel) [Some interesting interviews with famous programmers] * The TeXbook (Knuth) [While you might not use TeX much, this book has a lot of valuable information about typesetting /style/, and Knuth's typical humour.] * Calendical Calculations (Dershowitz & Reingold) [More than you ever wanted to know about calendars and their calculation. Helpful to illuminate some of the darker corners of locale APIs though] * Multithreaded Programming with Pthreads (Lewis & Berg) [Excellent overview of pthreads and threaded programming in general] * The Haskell Road to Logic, Maths and Programming (Doets & Eijck) [Gem of book, you won't be much of a Haskell programmer after this, but it's exposition of logic in particular is very neat.] * How To Design Programs (Fellesian et al). * A practical introduction to electronic circuits. * The Art of Computer Programming vols 1-3 box set (Amazon link: http://goo.gl/3XhrnK) [This is in very good condition on account of my not being able to make sense of it! I'm willing to do a deal b.c it's so heavy, but I expect something reasonably close to the "used" price on Amazon] * The Boost C++ Libraries (Schaling) * Graphics Programming Black Book (Abrash) [does not contain the CD unfortunately] If people are interested, please let me know. I have to travel from Harrogate to York, so while not completely necessary, I would prefer to deliver the books in a batch, rather than on an individual basis. Thanks!
