This book is about my own personal favourite puzzles & conundrums in science all of which have famously been referred to as paradoxes but which turn out not to be paradoxes at all when considered carefully & viewed from the right angle A true paradox is a statement that leads to a circular & self-contradictory argument or one that describes a logically impossible situation Our subject is 'perceived paradoxes'
- questions or thought-experiments that on first encounter seem impossible to answer but which science has been able to solve Our tour of these mind-expanding puzzles will take us through some of the greatest hits of science
- from Einstein's theories about space & time to the latest ideas of how the quantum world works Some of our paradoxes may be familiar such as Schroedinger's famous cat which is seemingly alive & dead at the same time; or the Grandfather Paradox
- if you travelled back in time & killed your grandfather you would not have been born & would not therefore have killed your grandfather Other paradoxes will be new to you but no less bizarre & fascinating We will ask such questions as how does the fact that it gets dark at night prove the Universe must have started with a big bang? Where are all the aliens? & why does the length of a piece of string vary depending on how fast it is moving? In resolving our paradoxes we will have to travel to the furthest reaches of the Universe & explore the very essence of space & time Hold on tight

If you have a working knowledge of Haskell this hands-on book shows you how to use the language's many APIs & frameworks for writing both parallel & concurrent programs You'll learn how parallelism exploits multicore processors to speed up computation-heavy programs & how concurrency enables you to write programs with threads for multiple interactions Author Simon Marlow walks you through the process with lots of code examples that you can run experiment with & extend Divided into separate sections on Parallel & Concurrent Haskell this book also

Includes:: exercises to help you become familiar with the concepts presented Express parallelism in Haskell with the Eval monad & Evaluation Strategies Parallelize ordinary Haskell code with the Par monad Build parallel array-based computations using the Repa library Use the Accelerate library to run computations directly on the GPU Work with basic interfaces for writing concurrent code Build trees of threads for larger & more complex programs Learn how to build high-speed concurrent network servers Write distributed programs that run on multiple machines in a network
