The essential lifesaver for students who want to master probability
For students learning probability, its numerous applications, techniques, and methods can seem intimidating and overwhelming. That's where The Probability Lifesaver steps in. Designed to serve as a complete stand-alone introduction to the subject or as a supplement for a course, this accessible and user-friendly study guide helps students comfortably navigate probability's terrain and achieve positive results.
The Probability Lifesaver is based on a successful course that Steven Miller has taught at Brown University, Mount Holyoke College, and Williams College. With a relaxed and informal style, Miller presents the math with thorough reviews of prerequisite materials, worked-out problems of varying difficulty, and proofs. He explores a topic first to build intuition, and only after that does he dive into technical details. Coverage of topics is comprehensive, and materials are repeated for reinforcement--both in the guide and on the book's website. An appendix goes over proof techniques, and video lectures of the course are available online. Students using this book should have some familiarity with algebra and precalculus.
The Probability Lifesaver not only enables students to survive probability but also to achieve mastery of the subject for use in future courses.

Lectures based on the chapters are available free online

Описание: We've iintroduced you to our first book: Traffic Tickets. Don't Get Mad. Get Them Dismissed. Traffic Ticket Tips, Must Knows, and Much More. After this book was released we got to thinking about the over 50,000 cases that we have worked on and thought; "wow, we've heard some real stories and story tellers over the years." And then the idea hit us, "let's share some of those stories." So we've put together several case studies that will walk you through the facts of the ticket and tell you about our solution that helped that driver "Get Off"; well, okay at least get their traffic ticket dismissed. We've also put together many stories and excuses we've heard from drivers and why their traffic tickets did not get dismissed, these are the ones that "Didn't Get Off." After reading this book, you'll have the knowledge about what worked or didn't work for other drivers, which will make you better informed for when you get a traffic ticket. And you will, as the odds are not in your favor. The day will come when you see those flashing lights behind you or that quick flash of a camera as you realize that you just went through a red light with a red light camera device. What's Inside - Traffic Tickets. Don't Get Mad. Get Them Dismissed. Stories From The Streets.

Описание:
War after Death considers forms of violence that regularly occur in actual wars but do not often factor into the stories we tell about war, which revolve invariably around killing and death. Recent history demonstrates that body counts are more necessary than ever, but the fact remains that war and death is only part of the story—an essential but ultimately subordinate part. Beyond killing, there is no war without attacks upon the built environment, ecosystems, personal property, artworks, archives, and intangible traditions. Destructive as it may be, such violence is difficult to classify because it does not pose a grave threat to human lives. Nonetheless, the book argues that destruction of the nonhuman or nonliving is a constitutive dimension of all violence—especially forms of extreme violence against the living such as torture and rape; and it examines how the language and practice of war are transformed when this dimension is taken into account. Finally, War after Death offers a rethinking of psychoanalytic approaches to war and the theory of the death drive that underlies them.

The groundbreaking, bestselling history of slavery, with a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed
"As vital and necessary a historical document as anyone has ever produced in this country." --The Boston Globe
With the publication of the 1619 Project and the national reckoning over racial inequality, the story of slavery has gripped America's imagination--and conscience--once again.
No group of people better understood the power of slavery's legacies than the last generation of American people who had lived as slaves. Little-known before the first publication of Remembering Slavery over two decades ago, their memories were recorded on paper, and in some cases on primitive recording devices, by WPA workers in the 1930s. A major publishing event, Remembering Slavery captured these extraordinary voices in a single volume for the first time, presenting them as an unprecedented, first-person history of slavery in America.
Remembering Slavery received the kind of commercial attention seldom accorded projects of this nature--nationwide reviews as well as extensive coverage on prime-time television, including Good Morning America, Nightline, CBS Sunday Morning, and CNN. Reviewers called the book "chilling . . . and] riveting" (Publishers Weekly) and "something, truly, truly new" (The Village Voice).
With a new foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning scholar Annette Gordon-Reed, this new edition of Remembering Slavery is an essential text for anyone seeking to understand one of the most basic and essential chapters in our collective history.
