Este Manual de tipografía es una introducción a todo lo que cualquier estudiante o profesional del diseño gráfico debe saber sobre tipografía para desarrollar una sensibilidad y unos conocimientos tipográficos bien fundamentados. El libro expone los principios básicos de la tipografía y principales aplicaciones mediante una equilibrada combinación de historia, teoría y práctica. Así, el lector encontrará en estas páginas desde la descripción de las partes de la letra o la clasificación de los diferentes tipos, a la explicación de cómo se compone el texto en la página o cómo funcionan los sistemas de retículas. Pero también encontrará una breve y reveladora historia de la tipografía así como numerosos ejemplos y ejercicios prácticos que pretenden ayudar a adquirir un conocimiento experiencial de la disciplina. Esta segunda edición revisa algunos contenidos de la primera e incorpora nuevos diagramas explicativos y nuevos materiales sobre la composición de textos, la elección de tipos y el uso del color. El libro se apoya además en un nuevo sitio web www.atypeprimer.com (en inglés) que alberga materiales adicionales y una serie de ejercicios prácticos.

A Computational Approach to Statistical Learning gives a novel introduction to predictive modeling by focusing on the algorithmic and numeric motivations behind popular statistical methods. The text contains annotated code to over 80 original reference functions. These functions provide minimal working implementations of common statistical learning algorithms. Every chapter concludes with a fully worked out application that illustrates predictive modeling tasks using a real-world dataset. The text begins with a detailed analysis of linear models and ordinary least squares. Subsequent chapters explore extensions such as ridge regression, generalized linear models, and additive models. The second half focuses on the use of general-purpose algorithms for convex optimization and their application to tasks in statistical learning. Models covered include the elastic net, dense neural networks, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and spectral clustering. A unifying theme throughout the text is the use of optimization theory in the description of predictive models, with a particular focus on the singular value decomposition (SVD). Through this theme, the computational approach motivates and clarifies the relationships between various predictive models.

This brief text focuses on the principles of form that anyone study graphic design needs to learn. Through a series of exercises, readers learn two-dimensional design concepts and will gain the graphic skills they need to develop their individual expression. Part I focuses on graphic design drawing and Part II focuses on graphic relationships.
