A First Course in Logic

A First Course in Logic

A First Course in Logic is an introduction to first-order logic suitable for first and second year mathematicians and computer scientists. There are three components to this course: propositional logic; Boolean algebras; and predicate/first-order logic. Logic is the basis of proofs in mathematics — how do we know what we say is true? — and also of computer science — how do I know this program will do what I think it will? Surprisingly little mathematics is needed to learn and understand logic (this course doesn't involve any calculus). The real mathematical prerequisite is an ability to manipulate symbols: in other words basic algebra. Anyone who can write programs should have this ability.

Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

Suppose you were designing a marine mammal. What would they need to live in the ocean? How would you keep them warm? What design features would allow them to dive for very long periods to extreme depths? Do they need water to drink? How would they minimize the cost of swimming and how would they find their prey in the deep and dark? These questions and more are examined in detail throughout Marine Mammal Physiology which explores how marine mammals live in the sea from a physiological point of view. This undergraduate textbook considers the essential aspects of what makes a marine mammal different from terrestrial mammals beyond just their environment. It focuses on the physiological and biochemical traits that have allowed this group of mammals to effectively exploit the marine environment that is so hostile to humans. The content of this book is organised around common student questions taking the undergraduate's point of view as the starting point. Each chapter provides a set of PowerPoint slides for instructors to use in teaching and students to use as study guides. New Study Questions and Critical Thinking Points conclude each chapter which are each motivated by a Driving Question such as How do mammals stay warm in a cold ocean? or How do mammals survive the crushing pressures of the deep sea? Full-colour images and comprehensive accessible content make this the definitive textbook for marine mammal physiology. | Physiology of Marine Mammals Adaptations to the Ocean

Effective Ecology Seeking Success in a Hard Science

Effective Ecology Seeking Success in a Hard Science

Ecology is one of the most challenging of sciences with unambiguous knowledge much harder to achieve than it might seem. But it is also one of the most important sciences for the future health of our planet. It is vital that our efforts are as effective as possible at achieving our desired outcomes. This book is intended to help individual ecologists to develop a better vision for their ecology – and the way they can best contribute to science. The central premise is that to advance ecology effectively as a discipline ecologists need to be able to establish conclusive answers to key questions rather than merely proposing plausible explanations for mundane observations. Ecologists need clear and honest understanding of how we have come to do things the way we do them now the limitations of our approaches our goals for the future and how we may need to change our approaches if we are to maintain or enhance our relevance and credibility. Readers are taken through examples to show what a critical appraisal can reveal and how this approach can benefit ecology if it is applied more routinely. Ecological systems are notable for their complexity and their variability. Ecology is as indicated by the title of this book a truly difficult science. Ecologists have achieved a great deal but they can do better. This book aims to encourage early-career researchers to be realistic about their expectations: to question everything not to take everything for granted and to make up their own minds. | Effective Ecology Seeking Success in a Hard Science

Predator-Prey Dynamics The Role of Olfaction

Predator-Prey Dynamics The Role of Olfaction

Humans being visually oriented are well versed in camouflage and how animals hide from predators that use vision to locate prey. However many predators do not hunt by sight; they hunt by scent. This raises the question: do survival mechanisms and behaviors exist which allow animals to hide from these olfactory predators? If so what are they and how do they work? Predator-Prey Dynamics: The Role of Olfaction examines environmental as well as biological and behavioral elements of both predators and prey to answer gaps in our current knowledge of the survival dynamics of species. Beginning with a thorough look at the mechanics of olfaction the author explains how predators detect locate and track their prey using odor trails on the ground or odor plumes in the air. Understanding the physics of airflow is the next step to understanding the potential for manipulating and masking scent. While a bush may conceal an animal visually from a predator it will not protect an animal from a predator using olfaction. To hide from the latter an animal needs to hide in locations where turbulence and updrafts will disperse its scent. The book addresses tradeoffs that animals must make given their dual needs to hide from predators and to procure food and water. Studies of mammalian and avian behavior provide examples on the actual use and efficacy of olfactory camouflage tactics. The book concludes with a redefinition of ecological terms based on the physics of airflow and a summary of the theory and implications of olfactory predator-prey dynamics. Introducing the mechanics of olfaction and its influence on the behavior of both predators and prey Predator-Prey Dynamics: The Role of Olfaction presents a new perception of the world and enables us to understand and more effectively manage the delicate survival dynamics of animals in the wild. | Predator-Prey Dynamics The Role of Olfaction

Principles of Wildlife Conservation

Principles of Wildlife Conservation

Wildlife tend our forests — they pollinate flowers disperse seeds eat insects that harm trees and keep herbivores and diseases in check. They keep our forests healthy and resilient — ready and able to face and counter any challenges such as global warming and climate change. They are the individual cogs that keep the forest machine functioning. And we desperately need our forests — to sequester carbon to purify our air and water to protect our soils from getting eroded and to save our dams and waterways. Wildlife do need our care concern and attention but we also need our wildlife — perhaps much more sincerely. A majority of wildlife arrived on this planet much before humans and the Earth belongs to them as well. So how do we conserve wildlife? This is the question that Principles of Wildlife Conservation seeks to answer. It presents a lucid — cogent yet simple — narration about the why’s and how’s of conserving wildlife. It begins with the first principles — and thus requires no prerequisite other than an urge to seek knowledge. It is full of pictures and case studies from the field — to facilitate easy grasping of the subject. The book builds a solid foundation of the theory of wildlife conservation and tops that up with experiences from actually doing wildlife conservation. In this way it equips the reader to master both the science — and the art — of conserving wildlife.
