Neural and Adaptive Systems: Fundamentals Through Simulations-经管之家官网！

The interactive book "Neural and Adaptive Systems: Fundamentals Through Simulations (ISBN: 0471351679)" by Principe, Euliano, and Lefebvre, has been published by John Wiley and Sons and is now available for purchase directly from this site.Our enthusiasm for this book is best expressed by the response of our readers.
This electronic book combines the hypertext and searching capabilities of the Windows help system with the highly graphical simulation environment of NeuroSolutions to produce a revolutionary teaching tool. The book contains over 200 interactive experiments in NeuroSolutions to elucidate the fundamentals of neural networks and adaptive systems.
The inclusion of interactive experiments in the book allows for the presentation of key concepts without the use of complex equations. The lead author of the book is Dr. Jose Principe, director of the Computational NeuroEngineering Laboratory at the University of Florida. He is currently using this book in the Interactive Teaching Laboratory as the text for an undergraduate course in neural networks. Previously this course could not be taught at an undergraduate level due to the complex mathematical background that was required.
Included in the full Evaluation version of NeuroSolutions is the entire first chapter of the electronic book with examples. For a preview of the book without the experiments, the first chapter is also available in html. Remember, though, that the experiments are fundamental to the presentation and understanding of the topics. Downloading the full Evaluation version of NeuroSolutions provides a much better preview of the electronic book.
