Описание:
Kit is a loveable tabby kitten who is left behind when her family sets sail from Barbados to Charleston, South Carolina, in 1699. She harbors bad feelings for the captain of "The Eldora." After all, he took away her beloved family, and he has a strict no-pets-allowed policy on the ship.
The only way Kit knows how to find her family again is to rally the kitties left behind and sail the seas looking for "The Eldora" and Captain Rock. Once she locates the ship and the captain, Kit learns a valuable lesson. Sometimes circumstances and people's actions are not always what they seem, and we shouldn't judge them before discovering the truth.
Captain Rock was not the mean-hearted man Kit and her girl thought him to be. He was just heartbroken, as the two of them were. With the understanding of Captain Rock's situation, Kit and her girl made a new and loyal friend.
Описание: A brilliant and entertaining mathematician illuminates seven mathematical principles that shape our lives."Kit Yates shows how our private and social lives are suffused by mathematics. Ignorance may bring tragedy or farce. This is an exquisitely interesting book. It's a deeply serious one too and, for those like me who have little math, it's delightfully readable." --Ian McEwan, author of Atonement"Kit Yates is a natural storyteller. Through fascinating stories and examples, he shows how maths is the beating heart of so much of modern life. An exciting new voice in the world of science communication." --Marcus du Sautoy, author of The Music of the Primes From birthdays to birth rates to how we perceive the passing of time, mathematical patterns shape our lives. But for those of us who left math behind in high school, the numbers and figures hurled at us as we go about our days can sometimes leave us scratching our heads and feeling as if we're fumbling through a mathematical minefield. In this eye-opening and extraordinarily accessible book, mathemati-cian Kit Yates illuminates hidden principles that can help us understand and navigate the chaotic and often opaque surfaces of our world. In The Math of Life and Death, Yates takes us on a fascinating tour of everyday situations and grand-scale applications of mathematical concepts, including exponential growth and decay, optimization, statistics and probability, and number systems. Along the way he reveals the mathematical undersides of controversies over DNA testing, medical screening results, and historical events such as the Chernobyl disaster and the Amanda Knox trial. Readers will finish this book with an enlightened perspective on the news, the law, medicine, and history, and will be better equipped to make personal decisions and solve problems with math in mind, whether it's choosing the shortest checkout line at the grocery store or halting the spread of a deadly disease.
