Quickstart Python: An Introduction to Programming for STEM Students (essentials)
by Christoph SchäferChristoph Schäfer introduces the great world of programming with Python and provides a quick introduction to independent script development. He points out how the programming language Python has established itself in recent years alongside MATLAB and R as a standard at scientific workplaces in research and development, and shows that the great popularity of Python is based on its easy extensibility: It is very easy to use modules from other developers in your own scripts and programs. In particular, the author presents the modules NumPy, SciPy and Matplotlib, which offer scientists and engineers a perfect development environment for scientific and technical computing, for applications in physics, chemistry, biology and computer science. Python is also used in the latest applications in the highly topical fields of Big Data Science and Machine Learning. The author: Dr. Christoph Schäfer teaches and researches in the Department of Computational Physics at the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. This Springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st edition essentials, Schnellstart Python by Christoph Schäfer, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com).

¿Quién controla el futuro?
by Jaron LanierLúcido, original y provocador, ¿Quién controla el futuro? es una lectura necesaria para todos los que vivimos en un mundo parcialmente digital. Jaron Lanier, uno de los pensadores más influyentes de la actualidad, es autor de la obra fundamental sobre internet Contra el rebaño digital y padre de la realidad virtual. Desde hace décadas, Lanier ha aprovechado su experiencia para reflexionar acerca de cómo la tecnología transforma nuestra sociedad y nuestra cultura. ¿Quién controla el futuro? es la perspectiva de un pensador visionario sobre la cuestión económica y social más importante de la actualidad: la perniciosa concentración de dinero y poder en las redes digitales. Lanier piensa que el auge de las redes digitales ha conducido nuestras economías a la recesión y ha diezmado las clases medias. A medida que la tecnología destruye más y más sectores -desde medios de comunicación hasta la medicina o la industria-, afrontamos mayores desafíos al empleo y la prosperidad individual. Pero hay una alternativa a permitir que la tecnología se apropie de nuestro futuro. En esta obra tan ambiciosa como sensible al devenir humano, Lanier dibuja el camino hacia una nueva economía de la información que respetará a la sociedad y le permitirá crecer. Es hora de que la gente común sea recompensada por lo que crea y lo que comparte en red. La crítica ha dicho... «El libro más importante del año. Ideas provocadoras y heterodoxas para conseguir que la inevitable primacía del software en la sociedad sea provechosa en vez de dañina.» Joe Nocera, The New York Times «Son legión los que se quejan de internet, pero ni uno hace nada para remediarlo; excepto Jaron Lanier.»Neal Stephenson «Un libro inteligente y accesible que lanza una mirada crítica al mundo digital y pone de manifiesto su lamentable estado.»Carolyn Kellogg, Los Angeles Times «Atrevido, original y muy imaginativo. Lanier es tan entretenido y accesible como lúcido.»Janet Maslin, The New York Times «Provocador y polémico, una lectura esencial.»The Washington Post «Uno de los mejores libros escépticos acerca del mundo digital.»Salon «Este ambicioso libro busca ayudar a la gente corriente a sobrevivir y prosperar en una época en que los avances en informática reducen las posibilidades de encontrar empleo.»USA Today «Un correctivo muy útil. Si se produce un éxodo digital, Lanier será su Moisés.»San Francisco Chronicle
