Learn How to Solve Problems from the Process of Solving Problems

Problem solving is an art that is central to understanding and ability in mathematics. With this series of books the authors have provided a selection of problems with complete solutions and test papers designed to be used with or instead of standard textbooks on algebra. For the convenience of the reader, a key explaining how the present books may be used in conjunction with some of the major textbooks is included. Each book of problems is divided into chapters that begin with some notes on notation and prerequisites. The majority of the material is aimed at the student of average ability but there are some more challenging problems. By working through the books, the student will gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts involved, and practice in the formulation, and so solution, of other algebraic problems. Later books in the series cover material at a more advanced level than the earlier titles, although each is, within its own limits, self-contained.

The fascinating and wide-ranging history of vanilla, from the sixteenth century to today Vanilla is one of the most expensive of flavorings--so valuable that it was smuggled or stolen by pirates in the early days--and yet it is everywhere. It is a key ingredient in dishes ranging from cr鋗e br嶪 to Japanese purin. It is the quintessential ice cream flavor in the United States. Eric T. Jennings explains how the world's only edible orchid, originally endemic to Central America, became embedded in the international culinary and cultural landscape. In tracing vanilla's rise, Jennings describes how in the 1840s an enslaved boy named Edmond Albius discovered a way to pollinate vanilla orchids with a toothpick or needle--an ingenious process that is still in use. This method transformed the vanilla sector by enabling the plant to be grown outside of its natural range. Jennings also looks at how the vanilla craze led to the search for now-pervasive substitutes, and how a vanilla lobby has fough

This book explores the inevitable intrusions of the analyst's personal life into clinical work and how to manage the challenges of self-disclosure, secrecy and analytic identity within this context.Is non-disclosure, e.g. abstinence and neutrality, a realistic goal, or is it an artifact of an idealized analytic identification? Does self-disclosure of any sort by the analyst derail the analytic process and irrevocably damage the transference experience? Analyst self-disclosure remains a compelling and central construct in the field of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis and there are few significant compendiums on this topic that explore the diversity of analytic voices. This book is an extraordinary collection of ideas from experienced psychoanalysts and psychotherapists who have wrestled with questions of self-disclosure from a theoretical, ethical, professional, and personal perspective. It describes the shifting landscape of the analytic field as it relates to self-disclosure, non-disc

Only you can solve the mystery of my murder. Grady Jones has spent nearly all twelve years of his life trying to find a way to be great at something. So when a mysterious note is delivered to his door, addressed to him, asking Grady to solve the murder of his town's reclusive millionaire, Grady believes his search is over. He'll be a Great Detective! The only problem is he is not known for being very observant...or intuitive...or clever. Oh, and he has no idea how to solve a mystery. Luckily, he has some friends who have skills of deduction, and together, they might have the chops to figure out the murderer. Then a stranger also named Grady Jones comes to town, and Grady fears the note might not have been meant for him at all. And if that's the case, how will he eve

An AI expert reveals the transformative potential of artificial intelligence to usher in a new era of scientific discovery Researchers are publishing more papers than ever before, but human expertise has grown narrower and the rate of scientific progress is slowing. But AI will reverse this trend. AI pioneer Richard Socher argues that AI will usher in a century's worth of breakthroughs in just the next decade as each stage of the scientific process--from hypothesis to experiment, from data to theory--is connected and transformed. The Eureka Machine pulls back the curtain on how AI is already revolutionizing fields as diverse as medicine, cell biology, economics, neuroscience, and astronomy. The results? Radically sped-up timelines for drug development, simulated life-forms accurate down to the subcellular level, and a nascent ability to read and record thoughts (even dreams!). Every branch of science will be transformed, but none more than the new science of intelligence itself. The fu

A major new history of Asia's Second World War Blood Dawn offers a momentous new history of World War II in Asia. Drawing on deep archival research across continents, historian Hans van de Ven tells the dramatic story of how Asia's people mobilized to defeat both Japanese aggression and European imperialism, forging modern Asia in the process. By the early twentieth century, from India to China, Western imperial powers dominated Asia. Then, in the 1930s, Japan began to tear down this old order in pursuit of its own imperial ambitions--first by invading China, and then by launching its assault against British, Dutch, and American outposts across Asia and the Pacific in December 1941. As Japanese forces seized vast swaths of territory and pressed toward India, the brutal fighting cost millions of lives across the continent. Simultaneously, the war's chaos and suffering supercharged anti-colonial movements from British India to Dutch Indonesia. Ultimately, it was the charismatic leaders o

*** Longlist for the FT and Schroder Business Book of the Year 2025 ***** Named word of the year in US, UK and Australia ***'Enshittification' will be the most talked about tech book of the year.* "Enshittification" is Doctorow's word to describe the decay of online platforms.

A transformative and philosophical investigation into how we ask questions, full of practical advice on how we can harness the power of questions for ourselvesWe live in a world that wants answers. Answers provide solutions to our problems, teach us about the world, and help us navigate our lives. But we rush toward answers forgetting, that it is questions that set the course.Questions are a form of power, as well as a vital, everyday tool. After all, if you don’t ask the right questions, you won’t get the right answers. InQ, philosopher Lani Watson examines the history of question-asking, analyzes our answer-oriented present, and offers a path forward toward a question-oriented future. Along the way, she asks us to consider what a question is, why we ask the questions we do, when we first start asking questions, and where we want our questions to take us.The shift from prioritizing answers to focusing on questions is not easy, and it requires careful attention and practice.Qalso inclu
