Описание: In the museums of Urumchi, in Western China a collection of ancient mummies lay at the centre of an enormous mystery. Some of Urumchi`s mummies date back as far as 4,000 years - contemporaries of those in Egypt, but even more beautifully preserved, especially their clothing. Surprisingly, these prehistoric people were not Chinese but Caucasion, tall, large nosed and blonde with round eyes that were probably blue. Where did they come from and what were they doing in the foothills of the Himalayas?

Описание: In recent years, the volume of available data has grown exponentially and paved the way for new models in decision-making, particularly decision making under uncertainty. Thus, the opening chapter of Robust and Constrained Optimization: Methods and Applications introduces different robust models induced by three well-known data-driven uncertainty sets: distributional, clustering-oriented, and cutting hyperplanes uncertainty sets. Following this, the authors describe a model of an uncertain vector optimization problem and define robust solutions. Scalarization and vectorization techniques are proposed as efficient ways to compute robust solutions. In one study, a rain-fall optimization algorithm has been applied as a new naturally-inspired algorithm based on the behavior of raindrops. This algorithm has been developed with the goal of finding a simpler and more effective search algorithm to optimize multi-dimensional numerical test functions. The process considers the numerical differential of the cost function rather than the mathematical computation of the gradient. The authors examine the preconditioned iterative solution of a particular type of linear systems, mainly involving matrices of a two-by-two block form with square matrix blocks. Such systems arise in the finite element solution of optimal control problems for partial differential equations in various applications. Finally, it is shown how various metaheuristic algorithms (including memetic, interval, and random search optimization methods) can be applied to solve different types of optimal control problems (e.g., satellite stabilization, solar sail control, interception problems). Hybrid global optimization methods, which combine strategies from several different metaheuristic random search algorithms, are suggested in an attempt to improve accuracy of the obtained solution.

Автор: Garelick Barry Название: Letters from John Dewey/Letters from Huck Finn: A Look at Math Education from the Inside ISBN: 0692509569 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780692509562 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 8620.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The publisher is Modern Educator Press. The printer is CreateSpace. "Few refuges exist from the multicolored tomes posing as math textbooks. No one is safe from this modern day invasion of the body snatchers. And just like in the movie, those with the power to do something have already been taken over by the seed pods of education school dogma." So writes Barry Garelick, using the name John Dewey in a set of letters that chronicles his journey through ed school as he pursues a second career as math teacher after retirement. A few years later, he wrote a second set of letters using the name Huck Finn, this time describing his experiences as a student teacher and then a substitute teacher. As Huck Finn he grapples with the "ideological, political and cultural divide in math education". In both sets of letters, John Dewey and Huck Finn learn more than they bargained for in ways that are both humorous and, ultimately, very human. The book presents not only the process by which one becomes a math teacher, but also the "groupthink" that pervades education schools and other forms of the education establishment. The prevailing mode of thought views drills, practice and the learning of procedures as "rote learning" and prevents true "understanding". If students "understand", then everything else follows, according to the so-called experts that both John Dewey and Huck Finn rebel against. The letters from John Dewey originally appeared in the blog Edspresso. The letters from Huck Finn (with the exception of Chapter 10) originally appeared in the blog Out in Left Field, also in slightly different form. The letters achieved a following of readers who expressed their agreements and disagreements quite candidly in comments on the respective blogs. It became evident to many that the great divide in math education is quite real and discussed in detail in the book. "Beautifully observed, these letters are a priceless multilayered collection-on one level, a passionate debate on math education-on another, a poignant and human look at the struggle to teach-and learn. Bursting with humor and heart, this book is a treasure and a pleasure to read." Dennis Foon, author of The Longlight Legacy "Garelick's book gives a gripping insider account of the world of K12 math education. Its refreshingly independent perspective validates key questions and concerns that aspiring math teachers might otherwise be uncomfortable pursuing." Katharine Beals, author of Raising a Left Brain Child in a Right Brain World "Part helmet-cam view, and part soapbox polemic, this piquant potpourri invites readers aboard the author's post-retirement adventure into math education. With humor and candor Barry Garelick offers a valuable primer for novice teachers and a hearty campfire retelling for hardened veterans -- friends and foes alike." Dr. Robert Craigen, Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Manitoba, and co-founder of the Western Initiative for Strengthening Education in Mathematics

The Warminster mystery is fifty years old.
The mystery began as unusual sounds on the morning of Christmas 1964 and continued as a UFO flap until 1977. The locals called the unusual lights and sounds central to the mystery "the Thing." The memory of that mystery remained in the background of ufology throughout the years, even while other events took centre stage.
This book reviews what happened during the crazy, exciting years of the Warminster mystery. It is not a long list of the sighting reports; it is a short history of the events - the lights, the sounds - the media reports, and the characters that shaped the Thing. It is a history of the mystery.
8/10: Snappy and even-handed review of whatever it was... -- Fortean Times
nicely written ... makes the perfect introduction to the Warminster affair, managing to be both open-minded and objective. -- John Rimmer, The Magonia Blog.
