Showing titles in Mathematics

"¿Quién escucharía un audiolibro sobre matemáticas sin que le obliguen?". Porque al escuchar sobre ellas se corren varios riesgos.... Tal vez cambiemos nuestra idea sobre las matemáticas, con las que hemos vivido tan cómodamente todo este tiempo, y es posible que terminen por gustarnos. Este audiolibro te mostrará que las matemáticas no son tan odiosas como aparentan; en ellas interviene la creatividad, la intuición, el cálculo, la imaginación, la técnica. Son una oportunidad de disfrutar de la realidad de una forma distinta.

Where do the rigid rules of science and the fluid beauty of language converge? Welcome to The Òrga Spiral Podcasts, a journey into the hidden patterns that connect our universe with radical history, poetry and geopolitics We liken ourselves to the poetry in a double helix and the narrative arc of a scientific discovery. Each episode, we follow the graceful curve of the golden spiral—a shape found in galaxies, hurricanes, and sunflowers, collapsing empires—to uncover the profound links between seemingly distant worlds. How does the Fibonacci sequence structure a sonnet? What can the ...

Why does mathematics—a creation of the human mind—describe the physical world with such extraordinary precision? Why do equations invented for one purpose turn out, decades or centuries later, to be the perfect language for a completely different realm of nature? In 1960, the Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner called this correspondence a 'gift we neither understand nor deserve.' The question has haunted science ever since. In this book, Boris Kriger proposes an answer that is at once simple and profound: mathematics describes the world because only the mathematically structured survives.

Every day and every moment, we have to make some kind of decision - they could be miniature choices with minimal impact, or big decisions that can change the trajectory of your life. If you don’t decide, that’s the worst of all decisions. You have to either say yes or no or explore other alternatives to optimize your resources. Therefore, making a choice is an unavoidable choice, and that makes it one of the most important skills everyone should strive to learn and master. You have to make choices all the time. Then why not make smart choices?

This book shows that the quantitative mathematical models policy makers and government administrators use to form environmental policies are seriously flawed. Based on unrealistic and sometimes false assumptions, these models often yield answers that support unwise policies. Writing for the general, nonmathematician reader, the authors begin with a riveting account of the extinction of the North Atlantic cod on the Grand Banks of Canada.

But what Audie does have is a knack for physics that's about to catapult her into the adventure of a lifetime. Now all she has to do is survive it.

In 1999, Texas passed a landmark clean energy law, beginning a groundswell of new policies that promised to make the US a world leader in renewable energy. As Leah Stokes shows in Short Circuiting Policy, however, that policy did not lead to momentum in Texas, which failed to implement its solar laws or clean up its electricity system. Examining clean energy laws in Texas, Kansas, Arizona, and Ohio over 30 years Stokes argues that organized combat between advocate and opponent interest groups is central to explaining why states are not on track to address the climate crisis.
