Although we learn the fundamentals of counting and measuring in our early years, these concepts form the foundation of complex processes, from mountain climbing and skydiving to video game design. This title examines the seemingly simple ideas of number and quantity and shows how they are used in real life.

Applying Number and Quantity to Everyday Life (Applied Mathematics)

Teen & Young Adult

Much more than finding x, algebra forms the basis to describe any process that has variation. Everyday numbers like money and time are common variables. In this book, key concepts from algebra, such as lines, polynomials and the quadratic formula, are shown at work in surprising applications including industrial baking, robotics, and the natural world.

Applying Algebra to Everyday Life (Applied Mathematics)

Functions, the language of advanced mathematical processes, model input and output. Some functions are direct, such as the result of pressing a computer key. Others are more complex, such as investigating car crashes or launching a satellite. This book discusses how the inputs and outputs of functions are at play in our daily lives.

Modeling offers us a way to explain past natural and cultural phenomena, and perhaps more importantly, it gives us mathematical forecasts for the future. This title explores familiar models such as linear regression and computer modeling to show how some aspects of everyday life, such as weather, can be shaped and predicted by mathematics.

Presents a history of geometry, how it operates in everyday life, and how geometry can be used in a future career path in mathematics.

Nato, The Warsaw Pact, And The Iron Curtain

North Atlantic Treaty Organization

Richardson, Erik, Author

Cavendish Square Publishing

The looming threat of Communist expansion led the United States and eleven Western nations to establish the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Responding to NATO, the Soviet Union and the Communist Eastern bloc formed the Warsaw Pact. European nations soon aligned with one of the opposing military forces. This book takes a closer look at how NATO, the Warsaw Pact, and the Iron Curtain played a role in the sharp political division between the West and East.
