Alan Jones Bücher

In den Tempeln verborgener Städte, in den undurchdringbaren Tiefen des Dschungels von Kambodscha und unter dem ewigen Eis Sibiriens sucht Lara die beiden Hälften eines mystischen Dreiecks, das, würden diese zusammengefügt, Macht über die Zeit verleiht. Doch Lara ist nicht die Einzige, die sich auf der Suche befindet. Und ihre Widersacher schrecken vor nichts zurück.§Das Begleitbuch von Alan Jones lässt die Schlüsselszenen des Films anhand von exklusivem Bildmaterial ein weiteres Mal lebendig werden. Interviews mit dem Regisseur und den Darstellern - allen voran ein umfangreiches Gespräch mit Angelina Jolie zu ihrer Rolle als Lara Croft - sowie Informationen über die Geschichte des Spiels Tomb Raider, die Hintergründe der Story und die Drehorte liefern einen tiefen Einblick in die Entstehung dieses Blockbusters.

Focusing on Simple Linear Regression, the book explores its purpose, effectiveness, accuracy, and application for creating estimates. It delves into the transformative nature of this statistical method, highlighting how to leverage its capabilities for practical use. Through a detailed examination, readers will gain insights into the functionality and potential of Simple Linear Regression in various contexts.

Focusing on risk and uncertainty, this volume delves into modeling techniques, particularly emphasizing Monte Carlo Simulation.
