Living Math: Seeing mathematics in every day life (and appreciating it more too). by D. James Benton (6 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

A friend once told me that he couldn't remember the last time he had used calculus. How sad. I can't remember the last time I didn't use calculus. Mathematics isn't just esoteric busywork. It's the language of cause and effect-a description of why things work the way they do. Mathematics connects the dots in the picture that is the world around us. Understanding the mathematical relationships between objects and events will give you a whole different perspective, like seeing color in a world where others see only black and white. Join me on this adventure, in which I will take you on a tour of Living Math.

Monte Carlo Simulation: The Art of Random Process Characterization by D. James Benton (139 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

There are many textbooks devoted to the theory behind Monte Carlo methods. More often than not, these are heavy on theory and light on example. Rarely do they include the examples in their entirety, mostly presenting the final results in summary form. The aim of this text is to be light on theory and heavy on example. Each example is included in its entirety: input, output, and source code or spreadsheet. If you work through all the examples, you should be able to simulate whatever process is needed.

Particle Tracking: Computational Strategies and Diverse Examples by D. James Benton (4 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

Tracking particles through a moving field, such as flowing air, ground, or surface water, is not only a powerful computational method but can also provide insightful visualizations. I have employed this process for a variety of problems from airborne contamination, thermal pollution, and contaminant transport in groundwater. I have even used it to successfully model the mixing of fluorescent dye through the confluence of three pumps in order to distinguish the time of arrival at the destination. While the Lagrangian method (based on time as the independent parameter) is most often used, the Hamiltonian method (based on time as a dependent parameter) can be much faster. Both are developed in this text, which includes many examples. Diffusion (spreading based on material properties) and also dispersion (based on local velocities) are derived, implemented, and illustrated in the text. Flow in factures within porous media, essential to accurately modeling karst formations, is also covered.

Ancient Egypt, Extraterrestrial Origins by M.G. Hawking (35 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Explore the True Origins of a Majestic Civilization. For centuries, devoted scholars have endeavored to penetrate the mystery of Ancient Egypt, the stone-age culture that abruptly rose to create the greatest civilization of known history. Champollion, founder of Egyptology, was the first of a thousand such scholars, living simply in the heat and dust, trying to read for us the riddle of the achievements of a mysterious civilization, to snatch from the secretive soil the science and technology, the art and literature, the history and wisdom of Ancient Egypt. By its side Sumeria's culture was but a crude beginning; not even Greece or Rome would surpass it, far less our own. How did a small community just emerging from a Neolithic stage suddenly generate the most majestic and enduring civilization of the ages? The ascension of Ancient Egypt to a previously unknown zenith of culture lasting thousands of years demonstrated advancements that have long eluded explanation. Where did their ...

The Future of Being Human and Other Essays by Sylvia Engdahl (3 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

What will humans be like in the future? According to science fiction author Sylvia Engdahl, they will be no different from what they're like now. There will be many innovations in technology and ways of daily life, but people are people, wherever and whenever they happen to live, and that's not going to change. In this book Engdahl departs from the theme of space colonization on which her past essays (available in her book From This Green Earth) have focused, and discusses such topics as artificial intelligence, "paranormal" psi powers, healthcare policy, and the coming loss of personal privacy. Her controversial views on these subjects will inspire thought about what the future is likely to bring.

Cow Dung - A Down-To-Earth Solution To Global Warming And Climate Change by Dr. Sahadeva dasa (Soul Science University Press) (42 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

Environmental crisis is for real and it's coming around faster than you think. It's not a brainchild of some conspiracy theorist but a tangible, perceivable fact, proven by the catastrophic events all over the world. But for most of us, caught up in the daily grind, it's hardly a subject worth pondering over. Common man in the streets of London, New York or Delhi has very little time to worry about some ozone layer up there or some damn iceberg in the North Pole. At best, it is a snow bear's problem. But the scientific fraternity and many political leaders don't think so. They are waking up to the horrors of global warming and climatic change. Hectic efforts are on to contain the damage but with very little success. This book provides a simple solution to this grave crisis which has the potential to wipe out life altogether. This is a calamity of unprecedented proportions coming our way and a point of no return for the industrial civilization. One of the arguments sceptics throw back ...

Time Matters: 1st edition by Alexandre Kassiantchouk (1 Review)    Price verified 10 hours ago

7th edition available: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQR92W6D , and it is free! Misinterpretation of Hubble's observation (of distant stars looking red) led to Universe expansion and Bing Bang speculations. Actual reason for his observation is time in the past was slower: • Let's say, 10 billion years ago you started sending letters to yourself, one letter a day. • 10 billion years have passed, and now, for some reason, our day is twice shorter/faster than it used to be, and letters start coming. • How many letters you'll be receiving a day? Answer: 1 letter every OTHER day. • Frequency of getting letters a day as-if dropped twice. And if 14B years ago time was twice slower than today, then of 100 light-waves sent a second, you'll be receiving 50 waves a second now. Frequency drop = wavelength increase = redshift. Cosmology collapsed on twice slower time 14B years ago (wavelength change was incorrectly explained as space/wave expansion - Doppler effect). Second chapter ...
