This book includes problems and projects (either in whole or in part) that my students worked on in my regular math classes, in my advanced math elective, or outside of school with my mentoring. The problems and projects include some that can be found in literature, some that I made up myself, and some (no doubt) that are both because what I made-up may have been made-up previously. I decided to compile some of the topics that my best students worked on and publish them for the benefit of other teachers, who could share them with their gifted students. Some of the problems and projects are presented with complete solutions, with every step detailed. Some are missing a number of the intermediary steps, which need to be filled in, and some are problems and projects that are only proposed without any solution offered. All the problems and applications are designed to challenge the best students and their teachers. The math disciplines range through geometry, algebra, trigonometry and calculus while the applications include physics, origami, investments and financial strategies, human modeling, etc.

Becoming a Christian is easy, in the sense that there is no application to be completed, no rigorous training program, no requirement to matriculate through a series of classes, or any certifications to obtain. However, in the simplicity of becoming a Christian we often fail to understand some of the basics. The believer's basic tool, guide for living, is the Bible; the Word of God. It is the foundation of our faith and therefore we should understand: how it was written, the spiritual personalities it speaks of, what kind of life it calls us to, and the confidence we can have in a commitment to live according to its precepts. We will attempt to make A Case for Christianity; that is, to present evidence that will hopefully affirm our belief and strengthen our faith as Christians.

The United States of America will likely be devastated by earthquakes within the next twenty years.That is the startling conclusion of the authors of this book, all of them leading experts in the geophysical effects of climate change. They make a strong case for a link between the sun's cycles of behavior with highly destructive earthquakes.The authors explain that when the sun goes into a reduced energy phase, it produces colder weather and the worst earthquakes we've ever seen. Their easy-to-understand charts and graphs clearly show that we face an imminent threat.Find out the status of the threat for California, Alaska, South Carolina, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and other states and regions-as well as when and where the next catastrophic quakes will most likely strike. The authors also share the latest damage and loss-of-life assessments from the federal government, and they argue that we're not doing enough to confront the threat. The United States could face up to $600 billion in damages, and tens of thousands of people could die beginning in 2017, they warn.Prepare yourself, your family, and your business for the most dangerous earthquakes you'll ever face with Upheaval!

Numerical Methods for Scientific Computing is an introducion to numerical methods and analysis techniques that can be used to solve a variety of complicated engineering and scientific problems. The materialis suitable for upper level college undergraduates or beginning graduate students. There is more than enough material for a two semester course in numerical methods and analysis for mathematicians, engineers, physicists, chemistry and science majors.Chapter one reviews necessary background prerequisite material. The chapter two illustrates techniques for finding roots of equations. Chapter three studies solution methods applicable for handling linear and nonlinear systems of equations. Chapter four introduces interpolation and approximation techniques. The chapter five investigates curve fitting using least squares and linear reqression. The chapter six presents the topics of difference equations and Z-transforms. The chapter seven concentrates on numerical differentiation and integration methods. Chapter eight examines numerical solution techniques for solving ordinary differential equations and chapter nine considers numerical solution techniques for solving linear partial differential equations. The chapter ten develops Monte Carlo techniques for simulating and analyzing complex systems. The final chapter eleven presents parallel computing considerations together with selected miscellaneous topics.

Sophie: A Bronx Tail is about finding your place in the world. Sophie, an elephant at the Bronx Zoo, always wonders what's on the other side. One day, after hours, she decides to explore the zoo and ends up having an amazing adventure of self-discovery.As a mom and a teacher, I have experienced children's curiosity regarding what happens to the zoo animals when the zoo closes at night. As a child, I loved elephants and often wondered the same. The Wild Asia enclosure is one of my favorite spots at the Bronx Zoo. I took this opportunity to awaken children's curiosity about zoos, while emphasizing a lesson about being happy with oneself. Some fun-facts, in the Author's Note, are also included to pique children's interest in the Bronx Zoo and some of the animals encountered by Sophie while on her adventure. Reading to your child is a gift, and it is my hope that this book provides your child with this gift.A portion of the yearly profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the Wildlife Conservation Society.
