This book shows how information theory, probability, statistics, mathematics and personal computers can be applied to the exploration of numbers and proportions in music. It brings the methods of scientific and quantitative thinking to questions like: What are the ways of encoding a message in music and how can we be sure of the correct decoding? How do claims of names hidden in the notes of a score stand up to scientific analysis? How many ways are there of obtaining proportions and are they due to chance? After thoroughly exploring the ways of encoding information in music, the ambiguities of numerical alphabets and the words to be found “hidden” in a score, the book presents a novel way of exploring the proportions in a composition with a purpose-built computer program and gives example results from the application of the techniques. These include information theory, combinatorics, probability, hypothesis testing, Monte Carlo simulation and Bayesian networks, presented in an easily understandable form including their development from ancient history through the life and times of J. S. Bach, making connections between science, philosophy, art, architecture, particle physics, calculating machines and artificial intelligence. For the practitioner the book points out the pitfalls of various psychological fallacies and biases and includes succinct points of guidance for anyone involved in this type of research. This book will be useful to anyone who intends to use a scientific approach to the humanities, particularly music, and will appeal to anyone who is interested in the intersection between the arts and science. With a foreword by Ruth Tatlow (Uppsala University), award winning author of Bach’s Numbers: Compositional Proportion and Significance and Bach and the Riddle of the Number Alphabet. “With this study Alan Shepherd opens a much-needed examination of the wide range of mathematical claims that have been made about J. S. Bach's music, offering both tools and methodological cautions with the potential to help clarify old problems.” Daniel R. Melamed, Professor of Music in Musicology, Indiana University

The Cambridge Companion to Bach, first published in 1997, goes beyond a basic life-and-works study to provide a late twentieth-century perspective on J. S. Bach the man and composer. The book is divided into three parts. Part One is concerned with the historical context, the society, beliefs and the world-view of Bach's age. The second part discusses the music and Bach's compositional style, while Part Three considers Bach's influence and the performance and reception of his music through the succeeding generations. This Companion benefits from the insights and research of some of the most distinguished Bach scholars, and from it the reader will gain a notion of the diversity of current thought on this great composer.

For fans of computers and comedy alike, an accessible and entertaining look into how we can use artificial intelligence to make smart machines funny. Most robots and smart devices are not known for their joke-telling abilities. And yet, as computer scientist Tony Veale explains in Your Wit Is My Command, machines are not inherently unfunny; they are just programmed that way. By examining the mechanisms of humor and jokes--how jokes actually works--Veale shows that computers can be built with a sense of humor, capable not only of producing a joke but also of appreciating one. Along the way, he explores the humor-generating capacities of fictional robots ranging from B-9 in Lost in Space to TARS in Interstellar, maps out possible scenarios for developing witty robots, and investigates such aspects of humor as puns, sarcasm, and offensiveness. In order for robots to be funny, Veale explains, we need to analyze humor computationally. Using artificial intelligence (AI), Veale shows that joke generation is a knowledge-based process--a sense of humor is blend of wit and wisdom. He notes that existing technologies can detect sarcasm in conversation, and explains how some jokes can be pre-scripted while others are generated algorithmically--all while making the technical aspects of AI accessible for the general reader. Of course, there's no single algorithm or technology that we can plug in to make our virtual assistants or GPS voice navigation funny, but Veale provides a computational roadmap for how we might get there.

This volume presents a novel and distinct contribution to previous research on the rich Lutheran heritage of music. It builds upon a current surge of interest in the field, which resonates with a wider interest in connections between music and religion, as well as with cultural and aesthetic dimensions of faith at large. The book situates the topic in relation to recent developments within historical and cultural studies that have developed a more nuanced and positive view of the interplay between theologians and other cultural agents in the evolution of Western modernity during post Reformation processes of ‘confessionalization’. It combines conceptual discussions of key terms relevant to the study of the development and significance of an Early Modern Lutheran Music Culture with theological readings of central texts on music, analytic approaches to historical repertoires and material perspectives on its dissemination.

[Tu Non-Speech] is a magazine specializing in horror topics, true and false stories, though ambiguous, but make the reader's spine cold. Since collaborating with [Tzuyu], An Da has always had a headache about finding a theme for the work. The new editor, Bach Hanh, is a hard and soft person who doesn't eat, making her tricks to avoid the deadline have no use for martial arts. Most of all, she wanted to go to the field to get material for the story, he also followed the supervision. An Da grabbed her backpack and went, just didn't know that this trip would drag both her and the handsome editor into mysterious loops with no end. The first place An Da set foot on was an old apartment building, the people who lived here all died in strange tragedies. This is also where she was inspired to write the first chapters of "The Gap".

Fate………is now seconds closer. Time to ponder life’s questions: Does God exist? Just ask a cell biologist, the Japanese ophthalmologist who fainted, or a listener to Bach's Erbarme dich, mein Gott. This book's 25 God topics exhibit Beauty, Order, Coding, and/or Design. Even Fate is designed…now closer! Come see the evidence for God. Why am I here on Earth? It depends: ➔ If God is a myth to you, then live like a tourist and pay the Fate fee later. But postpone the carefree lifestyle until you consider Pascal’s Wager within. ➔ If you believe that God exists, then live like a pilgrim with the enclosed Street Map to Heaven in hand. It leads you to a destiny that no eye has seen nor ear has heard. Pure joy! How do I get to Heaven? Glad you asked. Jesus answers with the Mark 16:16 verse – presented here as an eternity map. So your journey is clearly laid out, and it’s an easy yoke with Jesus beside you. Come run the map’s 8 streets… with Christ and to Christ. That is, if eternal happiness is your thing. Author's promise➔ A Christian book is a labor of love when it takes thousands of hours to produce it, it's granted an Imprimatur by the Catholic Church, and all author royalties are promised to be given to the poor. This is such a book. Rest in these thoughts, and in the adventure described within on our most precious Catholic faith. Come, and you will see.
