"Reinforcement learning (RL) is an area of machine learning concerned with how intelligent agents ought to take actions in an environment in order to maximize the notion of cumulative reward. Reinforcement learning is one of three basic machine learning paradigms, alongside supervised learning and unsupervised learning. Reinforcement learning differs from supervised learning in not needing labelled input/output pairs to be presented, and in not needing sub-optimal actions to be explicitly corrected. Instead the focus is on finding a balance between exploration (of uncharted territory) and exploitation (of current knowledge)."--

A detailed exploration of both Paul the Apostle and his world, providing an understanding of how the Christian faith originated in the first centuries Paul the Apostle is often acclaimed as "the true founder of Christianity," but many Christians are unaware of Paul's teachings in their historical context. Paul: Apostle to the Gentiles explores both Paul and his world in the first century, investigating how he integrated his values, politics, and daily life through his teachings on the nature of God, how humans relate to God, and how to live God's commandments. With a multidisciplinary Religious Studies approach and methodology, Rebecca I. Denova sheds light on the origin and evolution of the creation of a Christian "systematic theology" that became the basis for the establishment of Orthodox Christianity, the Catholic Church, and the Protestant Reformation. Accessible chapters provide the background and history of Judaism, analyze the Pauline epistles, and explore Paul's background as a Jewish Pharisee who became a believer in Christ within the context of the cities of the Eastern Roman Empire. Throughout the text, Denova offers insights into how Paul's engagement with the ancient world can help us understand the ways today's Christians articulate their own systems of meaning. Helping readers fully understand the development of Paul's theology and its importance over the centuries, Paul: Apostle to the Gentiles: Offers analyses of the Pastoral Epistles, I and II Corinthians, I Thessalonians, the Apocryphal Acts of Paul, Romans, and other key textsExplores the ways Paul's letters established Christian hierarchy, set rules for Christian assemblies, and were used to both include and separate Christianity from JudaismDiscusses the shared concepts between Judaism and Greco-Roman religion, philosophy, and cultureIncludes "Excurses" between chapters, detailed examinations and summaries of important topics and different perspectivesContains numerous pedagogical tools, including historical timelines, maps and illustrations, definitions of concepts and terminology, references to traditional studies and recent scholarship, excerpts of ancient literature, and schematics of archaeological sites Covering both the world of ancient Christianity and the scholarly methods used in analyses of Paul's letters, Paul: Apostle to the Gentiles is an excellent textbook for undergraduate students taking courses on the origins and history of Christianity, as well as general readers interested in Paul's life and letters.

Separate signals from noise with this valuable introduction to signal processing by applied decomposition The decomposition of complex signals into their sub-signals or individual components is a crucial tool in signal processing. It allows each component of a signal to be analyzed individually and enables the signal to be isolated from noise and processed in full.

"In recent years, new advancements in the science of language learning and acquisition have led to significant changes in language teaching, pedagogy, and curriculum design all around the world. Some of the most prominent and important advances have dealt with our evolving understanding of the role of English as a lingua franca (specifically in the international language classroom) and our increasing sensitivity to the unique needs of students and teachers who are able to communicate across languages and cultures. The concepts of plurilingual and intercultural language learning have provided specific procedural and theoretical answers to these shifting demands. The concept of plurilingualism describes an individual who is able to speak several languages and switch between them based on social context (the more-often studied concept of multilingualism, by contrast, describes a community-wide use of multiple languages). In concert with the study of intercultural communication, which considers individuals' abilities to adjust communication styles and decisions to accommodate different cultural circumstances, researchers are able to achieve a deeper understanding of the ways in which a much greater variety of students function and behave in classrooms. Simultaneously, institutional ideas are changing about the ways in which national identity should be described in order to accommodate more linguistically and culturally diverse populations, which has also seen new educational requirements for learners of all backgrounds to leave school speaking multiple languages, particularly in school systems across the EU"--
