The Math(s) Fix: An Education Blueprint for the AI Age is a groundbreaking book that exposes why math education is in crisis worldwide and how the only fix is a fundamentally new mainstream subject. It argues that today's math education is not working to elevate society with modern computation, data science, and AI. Instead, students are subjugated to compete with what computers do best and lose.

The world is constantly changing and evolving. Transportation was revolutionized by cars and planes; however, machine learning will revolutionize the world in which we live from simple day-to-day tasks to even the most complex endeavors. You will learn the fundamentals of machine learning from algorithms, Python, and supervised and unsupervised learning. You will also learn about the real world applications, implications, and theories of Markov models.

Pi, in a truly absurd quantity. Read by Chris Griesemer, certainly not Morgan Freeman. Some books teach. Some books inspire. This book? It just gives you a ridiculous amount of Pi—because, frankly, why not?

Thinking Like a Mathematician: Unlocking Logic, Probability, and Problem Solving for Everyday Life is your guide to mastering the art of mathematical thinking—not just for solving equations, but for navigating the complexities of life with clarity and confidence. Whether you're making decisions under uncertainty, analyzing patterns in data, or simply trying to approach challenges with a sharper mind, this book reveals how the principles of mathematics can transform the way you think.

iOS Programming: Starter Guide: What Every Programmer Needs to Know About iOS Programming is a precise and concise book for any programmmer to get a quick grasp of the intricacies of iOS and how to master it quickly.

We all know that numbers go on forever, that you could spend your life counting and never reach the end of the line, so there can’t be such a thing as a "biggest number". Or can there? To find out, David Darling and Agnijo Banerjee embark on an epic quest, revealing the answers to questions like: are there more grains of sand on Earth or stars in the universe? Is there enough paper on Earth to write out the digits of a googolplex? And what is a googolplex? Then things get serious.

Rich tasks, collaborative work, number talks, problem-based learning, direct instruction…with so many possible approaches, how do we know which ones work the best? In Visible Learning for Mathematics, six acclaimed educators assert it’s not about which one—it’s about when—and show you how to design high-impact instruction so all students demonstrate more than a year’s worth of mathematics learning for a year spent in school.

The Analytical Mind aims to raise the level of your mental performance by focusing on the fundamentals of how to use your mind effectively...The book outlines and presents the methods that good problem solvers use in understanding complex ideas. Then, it provides practice in applying these methods to a variety of comprehension, analytical, and reasoning questions. It also includes a number of logical thinking problems to hone your logical thinking skills.

Simply put, an algorithm is a set of instructions-it's the code that makes computers run. A basic idea that proved elusive for hundreds of years and bent the minds of the greatest thinkers in the world, the algorithm is what made the modern world possible. Without the algorithm, there would have been no computer, no Internet, no virtual reality, no e-mail, or any other technological advance that we rely on every day.

Der Zufall regiert unsere Welt. Mit welchen Zahlen man morgen im Lotto gewinnt oder wo es in zwei Jahren regnen wird, ist reine Glückssache. Trotzdem gehen wir davon aus, dass sich die Welt an berechenbare Naturgesetze hält wie eine Uhr, in der ein Zahnrad das nächste bewegt. Wenn man sich auf die Suche nach den wissenschaftlichen Wurzeln des Zufalls begibt, stößt man auf Schmetterlinge, die mit einem Flügelschlag den Lauf der Welt verändern, auf winzige Teilchen, die ihre Eigenschaften ganz zufällig festlegen, und auf genetische Mutationen, die das Leben in neue Bahnen lenken.

En la Inglaterra del siglo XVII, un niño frágil nacido “demasiado pequeño” se convierte, a fuerza de disciplina y obsesión, en el hombre que reescribe las reglas del cielo y de la Tierra. Este libro recorre la vida de Isaac Newton más allá del mito de la manzana: su infancia marcada por la soledad, su ascenso intelectual en Cambridge, la revolución de la luz y el color, la escritura de los Principia y las guerras de ideas que lo enfrentaron a Robert Hooke y Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.

The Freakonomics of math—a math-world superstar unveils the hidden beauty and logic of the world and puts its power in our hands The math we learn in school can seem like a dull set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In How Not to Be Wrong, Jordan Ellenberg shows us...

Dive into “R Programming: Mastering Data Science and Statistical Computing”, the ultimate guide to one of the most powerful tools in the world of data science. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced professional looking to refine your expertise, this book is your gateway to mastering R programming.

Se trata de los números y los datos que manejan las estadísticas, indispensables en el relato con el que se construye hoy en día la actualidad política, económica y social. Y para comprender la realidad cambiante y compleja en la que vivimos no se necesita un doctorado en matemáticas. Basta un poco paciencia y sentido común, pero sobre todo, se requiere la curiosidad que Tim Harford, autor de El economista camuflado, sabe contagiar a sus lectores para observar el mundo con otros ojos.

Can one prove that 1 + 1 = 2? How long is the coastline of Britain? Which US president proved Pythagoras's theorem on right-angled triangles? Who originated the quadratic equation we learned at school? In how many ways can you tile your bathroom? Is there a formula for prime numbers? How often are two winning lottery numbers consecutive? Who was the witch of Agnesi? What is "the most important theorem in mathematics"? Who scratched mathematical equations on a Dublin bridge? What is a "space-filling curve"? Must all infinities be the same size?

Boolean algebra, also called Boolean logic, is at the heart of the electronic circuitry in everything we use - from our computers and cars, to our kitchen gadgets and home appliances. How did a system of mathematics established in the Victorian era become the basis for such incredible technological achievements a century later?
