Innovation in Weapon Systems: What Can History Teach Us?
()
About this ebook
Brutal warfare has been a constant companion of mankind. Sometimes rulers launch wars of aggression and those being attacked must defend themselves. At other times rival groups seem to go to war as a matter of course over wealth, religious differences, territory, or food supplies - or simply because they don’t like each other much.
Innovative use of even simple technology can trump weight of numbers.
Superior technology can facilitate aggression or enable besieged societies to defend themselves. It can prevent conflict altogether.
We look at the startling impact an innovation in weapon systems can have and be astonished. We look at times when innovative technology was available but not used, and shake our heads in disbelief. Today, when innovation is critically important, history has much to teach us.
Leonard Gaston
Dr. G. is a retired university professor. He supervised graduate level research projects for more than twenty years and found that students often encountered frustration and project delay because they lacked understanding of the basics of hypothesis testing. These students needed tutorial help to pick and choose among various types of simple tests they could apply to their research data and then could proceed successfully. Developing a formal course to prepare students for research projects, he determined to include in that course an introduction to hypothesis testing that would give students practical help - brief lectures, practice problems, and problem solutions for discussion. His book is a direct result of that practical experience. It is intended to be an easy to understand tutorial that will help the student researcher develop and test a hypothesis meaningful to his or her research objective.
