Описание: **The First Ever Maths Book to be a No.1 Bestseller**'Wonderful ... superb' Daily MailWhat makes a bridge wobble when it's not meant to? Billions of dollars mysteriously vanish into thin air? A building rock when its resonant frequency matches a gym class leaping to Snap's 1990 hit I've Got The Power? The answer is maths. Or, to be precise, what happens when maths goes wrong in the real world.
As Matt Parker shows us, our modern lives are built on maths: computer programmes, finance, engineering. And most of the time this maths works quietly behind the scenes, until ... it doesn't.
Exploring and explaining a litany of glitches, near-misses and mishaps involving the internet, big data, elections, street signs, lotteries, the Roman empire and a hapless Olympic shooting team, Matt Parker shows us the bizarre ways maths trips us up, and what this reveals about its essential place in our world. Mathematics doesn't have good 'people skills', but we would all be better off, he argues, if we saw it as a practical ally. This book shows how, by making maths our friend, we can learn from its pitfalls.
It also contains puzzles, challenges, geometric socks, jokes about binary code and three deliberate mistakes. Getting it wrong has never been more fun.

Описание: 100 days of division problems. Discover the difference a couple minutes of practice can make. These are reproducible practice sheets to help students learn their division facts and recall them with fluidity. This book focuses on digits 0-12. (Answer key included in the back of the book).
100 days of practice problems for decimals, percents, and fractions. This is not an entry level book. Students will need basic understanding of what fractions and decimals are. This book focuses on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages. It also teaches students how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals and fractions.
It's a great resource for upper elementary, middle school, and early high school students (KS2, KS3).
100 days of reproducible addition and subtraction practice problems. Double digits, triple digits, and more. Designed to make daily math routines simple and effective. Word problems are included with each day to promote higher level thinking and answers are listed in the back of the book.
100 days of practice counting money, learning fractions, and telling the time. Three core areas of math that students often need additional help to master. Start by counting groups of coins that have a value of a dollar or less. Slowly learn to count greater amounts of money that include small and large bills too. Add and subtract values, and even learn to make change. Learn fractions one step at a time. Start with simple fractions and eventually learn to add and subtract mixed numbers. Telling the time is one of the more difficult concepts for children to learn. Gradually progress from learning to tell hours, to quarter hours. Eventually tell time in five minute and minute increments. This is a great workbook to start out with. Most students will grasp the concepts within each of the three sections. If a student still needs more practice, Humble Math has workbooks that provide additional practice for these concepts too.
Описание: Winner of the 2011 Jolt Excellence Award Getting software released to users is often a painful, risky, and time-consuming process.
This groundbreaking new book sets out the principles and technical practices that enable rapid, incremental delivery of high quality, valuable new functionality to users. Through automation of the build, deployment, and testing process, and improved collaboration between developers, testers, and operations, delivery teams can get changes released in a matter of hours-- sometimes even minutes-no matter what the size of a project or the complexity of its code base. Jez Humble and David Farley begin by presenting the foundations of a rapid, reliable, low-risk delivery process. Next, they introduce the "deployment pipeline," an automated process for managing all changes, from check-in to release. Finally, they discuss the "ecosystem" needed to support continuous delivery, from infrastructure, data and configuration management to governance. The authors introduce state-of-the-art techniques, including automated infrastructure management and data migration, and the use of virtualization. For each, they review key issues, identify best practices, and demonstrate how to mitigate risks. Coverage includes - Automating all facets of building, integrating, testing, and deploying software - Implementing deployment pipelines at team and organizational levels - Improving collaboration between developers, testers, and operations - Developing features incrementally on large and distributed teams - Implementing an effective configuration management strategy - Automating acceptance testing, from analysis to implementation - Testing capacity and other non-functional requirements - Implementing continuous deployment and zero-downtime releases - Managing infrastructure, data, components and dependencies - Navigating risk management, compliance, and auditing Whether you're a developer, systems administrator, tester, or manager, this book will help your organization move from idea to release faster than ever--so you can deliver value to your business rapidly and reliably.
