This book provides a broad introduction to algorithms for decision making under uncertainty, covering the underlying mathematical problem formulations and the algorithms for solving them. Mykel Kochenderfer and Tim Wheeler first address the problem of reasoning about uncertainty and objectives in simple decisions at a single point in time, and then turn to sequential decision problems in stochastic environments where the outcomes of our actions are uncertain.

This book shows how FastAPI, a high-performance web framework for building RESTful APIs in Python, can be used to build robust web APIs that are simple and intuitive and makes it easy to build quickly with very little boilerplate code. Abdulazeez Abdulazeez Adeshina starts from how to set up a FastAPI application and how to use FastAPI to build a REST API that receives and responds to user requests. He then goes on to show how to handle routing and authentication while working with databases in a FastAPI application.

In this book, 31 computer scientists, including five recipients of the Turing Award, present and discuss Edsger Wybe Dijkstra's numerous contributions to computing science and assess their impact. Krzysztof R. Apt and Tony Hoare have collected the recollections of Dijkstra, one of the most influential researchers in the history of computer science. Several authors knew Dijkstra as a friend, teacher, lecturer, or colleague. Their biographical essays and tributes provide a fascinating multi-author picture of Dijkstra, from the early days of his career up to the end of his life.
