Abstract

Newly minted assistant professors often super-charge their careers and their curriculum vitae by publishing elaborations of their dissertations in the form of books. Indeed, the practice is so common and so effective that it is recommended in "Getting what you came for: The smart student's guide to earning a Master's or a Ph.D." by Robert L. Peters. Albert Nigrin's "Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition" is such a book. The dissertation from which the book springs was written under the direction of Alan Biermann at Duke University.
