Synopsis

What Is Non Monotonic Logic
 
A formal logic is said to be non-monotonic if its conclusion connection does not follow a monotonic pattern. In other words, the purpose of non-monotonic logics is to capture and represent defeasible inferences. This refers to a type of inference in which reasoners form tentative conclusions, which allows reasoners to retract their conclusion(s) based on future data. Non-monotonic logics are designed to do this.The vast majority of formal logics that have been examined have a monotonic entailment relation, which indicates that the addition of a formula to a theory does not result in the trimming of its set of conclusions. Intuitively, the concept of monotonicity suggests that acquiring new information does not have the potential to narrow the scope of what is already known. A monotonic logic is incapable of handling a variety of reasoning tasks, including reasoning by default, abductive reasoning, key approaches to reasoning about knowledge, and belief revision.

40 Days & 40 Hikes - Loving the...

Nicola Ross

Travel the Bruce Trail in day hikes with Loops & Lattes author Nicola Ross 
		 
Best known for her detailed Loops & Lattes hiking guides, Nicola Ross has inspired tens of thousands of people to lace up their boots and explore Ontario’s trails. In 40 Days & 40 Hikes, this adventurer, author, and environmentalist sets herself a new challenge: to hike the Bruce Trail from Niagara to Tobermory in her own creative way. In 40 cleverly crafted day-loops, Ross covers over 900 kilometers mostly following Canada’s longest marked trail, taking you with her on an insightful journey to the Niagara Escarpment’s remarkable sights.
		 
As Ross walks, she reveals stories of the trail’s flora and fauna, geology and history. The Bruce Trail becomes the central character as she ponders her role in protecting the fragile corner of the planet that, she contends, is entwined in her DNA. Despite long days on the trail, encounters with bears, ticks, and a deadly derecho, her passion for her beloved Niagara Escarpment mounts as she explores Ontario’s “ribbon of wilderness.”
		 
Perfect for hikers, non-hikers, and anyone who loves an adventure, 40 Days & 40 Hikes is both a captivating travelogue and a useful companion for those who Ross will undoubtedly inspire to follow in her footsteps.

Number Theory

Introbooks Team

In old times, number theory was also known as arithmetic. However, now arithmetic and number theory are considered as separate branches from each other’s, it was not same in old times. Number theory is one of the many important branches of pure mathematics. This branch is mainly dedicated and includes study about integers. This theory describes many fundamental and basic concepts of mathematics that were used to develop modern concepts. Thus, number theory is often referred as “Queen of Mathematics”. In number theory, following concepts are described:Concept of prime numbersProperties of objects that are derived through integersGeneralization of integers
Rational numbers and algebraic integers are significant concepts that are included in number theory. In number theory, integers are considered as a solution to a particular problem. This concept is known as Riemann Zeta Function. However, it is not necessary to consider them as solution only; they can also be considered in themselves. Study of analytical objects helps to understand questions in number theory. Properties of integers, prime numbers and number-theoretic objects are described in Riemann Zeta Function. These properties can be studied descriptively in a separated branch named analytic number theory. In Diophantine approximation, real numbers are learnt in ration to relational number.
In older terms, arithmetic was used to refer number theory. However, it was separated in early 20th century. Arithmetic word is now used to refer to general elementary calculations. Term arithmetic is now used in many fields such as:Mathematical logicPeano arithmeticComputer scienceFloating point arithmetic
In late 20th century, French theorists leaved a noticeable impact on number theory. Due to their influence, they again related tern arithmetic with number theory. However, many theorists argued upon this and denied to accept this as it was already proven false in past time. However, term arithmetical is now considered as adjective to number-theoretic. Early 20th century was a golden time for development of number theory, especially the time span of 1930s and 1940s. Many important results were acquired in that period. Later on, 1970s was proven an important period as well with the development of computational complexity theory.
Number theory is an important branch of pure mathematics since it contains many basic concepts that are used to build up complex concepts of pure mathematics. One who is looking for a breakthrough in broad term mathematics is suggested to start from this theory. It will clear up basic concepts so it will be surprisingly easy to understand complex concepts. This short book describes all the basic concepts without going in too deep. So, one can use this basic knowledge to understand complex concepts easily and effectively.

Beyond the Hurt - Understanding...

Dr Murli Krishna

Why does pain continue long after an injury has healed? Why can scans look “normal” when the pain feels anything but?
In Beyond the Hurt, Consultant in Pain Medicine Dr Murli Krishna offers a clear, compassionate explanation of why pain can become chronic — and what that really means.
This audiobook explores how the nervous system processes pain, how it can become overprotective, and why persistent pain does not necessarily mean ongoing damage. Using accessible language and grounded neuroscience, Dr Krishna explains central sensitisation, the role of sleep and stress, why pain can spread or fluctuate, and why treatments sometimes help — and sometimes don’t.
Importantly, this is not a book about pushing through pain or thinking positively. It is about understanding how the body’s alarm system works — and how it can learn to feel safe again.
Listeners will gain:
• A clear explanation of chronic pain mechanisms
• Reassurance when scans and tests are normal
• Insight into flare-ups and setbacks
• Practical guidance on calming the pain system
• A realistic, hopeful framework for recovery
Written for people living with ongoing pain — as well as clinicians, therapists, and caregivers — this audiobook replaces fear with understanding and confusion with clarity.
Persistent pain is not imagined. It has reasons.
And when pain becomes less mysterious, it often becomes less frightening.
Beyond the Hurt offers direction, reassurance, and a science-based path toward living well beyond pain.

Son of Apollo - The Adventures...

Christopher A. Roosa, James Lovell

Christopher A. Roosa grew up the eldest son of Apollo 14 astronaut and command module pilot Stuart A. Roosa. As a child of the space program, Christopher had a ringside seat at the dinner table of one of twenty-four Americans who had either entered lunar orbit or landed on the moon. The first book written by an offspring of an Apollo astronaut to focus on growing up in that era, Son of Apollo tells the inside story of the life of his father, a man who had a remarkable career despite always believing his air force career was "off-track," from his initial application to the service to his removal from the prime crew of Apollo 13 and his subsequent assignment to Apollo 14. During the Apollo 13 mission and recovery, Stuart played an integral role in developing the procedures to return the crew to Earth safely. The focus—and the pressure—of the entire Apollo program then shifted to the Apollo 14 mission. If the Apollo program was to continue, Stuart and the Apollo 14 crew would need to get safely to the moon, land, and return. 
 
 
 
In writing about his father's career, Christopher Roosa also shows us a familial side of the Apollo experience, from the daily struggles of growing up in the shadow of a father who was necessarily away in training most of the year to the expectations involved in being an astronaut's son.
