Mathematics of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)
Author: Julius O. SmithPublisher: Julius Smith
ISBN: 097456074X
Category : Fourier transformations
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
"The DFT can be understood as a numerical approximation to the Fourier transform. However, the DFT has its own exact Fourier theory, and that is the focus of this book. The DFT is normally encountered as the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)--a high-speed algorithm for computing the DFT. The FFT is used extensively in a wide range of digital signal processing applications, including spectrum analysis, high-speed convolution (linear filtering), filter banks, signal detection and estimation, system identification, audio compression (such as MPEG-II AAC), spectral modeling sound synthesis, and many others. In this book, certain topics in digital audio signal processing are introduced as example applications of the DFT"--Back cover
The Science of Sin
Author: Simon M. Laham, PhDPublisher: Harmony
ISBN: 0307719359
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Pride, lust, gluttony, greed, envy, sloth, and anger. They’re considered “deadly” because of their capacity to generate other evils. The truth is, we all sin and we do it all the time—in fact, usually several times over before breakfast! But human behavior, argues social psychologist Simon Laham, is more complex than “good” or “evil.” In psychology, these sins aren’t considered morally wrong or even uniformly bad, but are treated rather as complex and interesting psychological states that if, indulged wisely, can be functional, adaptive, and lead to a range of positive effects. The Science of Sin takes on these so-called sins one by one and through psychological research shows that being bad can be oh-so-good for you. Did you know that: · Being slow and lazy can help you win the race? · Anger makes you more open-minded? · Coveting what others have not only makes you more creative but bolsters self- esteem? So go ahead, eat that last cookie and kick back on the couch for a day of TV with your neighbor’s boyfriend—from gluttony to greed, envy to lust, Laham shows how even the deadliest, most decadent of vices can make you smart, successful, and happy.
Drugs are Adam's Sin

Pages : 102
Book Description
Drugs are Adam’s Sin is a contemporary interpretation of the sin committed by Adam, peace be upon him. The author believes that contrary to what many believe—that Adam’s sin was biting into an apple from a forbidden tree—his crime really was abusing drugs, resulting in the poisoning of his nervous system and unhappiness in paradise. The author contends that the tree in the Garden of Eden was not tall but rather short and charming—it was the poppy tree, which produces opium, morphine, and heroin. The toxins Adam ingested were genetically passed to his children, resulting in dreadful consequences that continue to this day and that have affected all of humanity. In examining Adam’s crime, the author seeks to answer questions such as: • How should we look at the criminal nature of man? • What can we do to correct our daily behaviors? • Why is understanding the true nature of Adam’s sin so important? Get a new perspective on events from the Bible, the nature of sin, and how humanity can solve what ails it in this groundbreaking book.

Book Description
We can have a sense that when we try to do right by one another, we aren't merely striving against ourselves. The feeling is that we are struggling against something--someone-else. As if there's a force-a person- that wishes us ill. In his letter to the Romans, the apostle Paul describes just such a person: Sin, a cosmic tyrant who constrains our moral freedom, confuses our moral judgment, and condemns us to slavery and to death. Commentators have long argued about whether Paul literally means to say Sin is a person or is simply indulging in literary personification, but regardless of Paul's intentions, for modern readers it would seem clear enough: there is no such thing as a cosmic tyrant. Surely it is more reasonable to suppose "Sin" is merely a colorful way of describing individual misdeeds or, at most, a way of evoking the intractability of our social ills. In The Emergence of Sin, Matthew Croasmun suggests we take another look. The vision of Sin he offers is at once scientific and theological, social and individual, corporeal and mythological. He argues both that the cosmic power Sin is nothing more than an emergent feature of a vast human network of transgression and that this power is nevertheless real, personal, and one whom we had better be ready to resist. Ultimately, what is on offer here is an account of the world re-mythologized at the hands of chemists, evolutionary biologists, sociologists, and entomologists. In this world, Paul's text is not a relic of a forgotten mythical past, but a field manual for modern living.
