Just prior to the end of the previous millennium, Dr. Bread accepted a full-time position to do research at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. While she is prohibited from revealing classified information, Janet Bread can and does describe the evidence of a miscarriage of justice in the nation’s most notorious espionage case from the 1940s. As a compassionate individual with a sense of purpose and loyalty to the truth, she found the callous mistreatment of certain participants in a disinformation project to be deeply disturbing.

Whether you are an educator, student, researcher, or administrator, it has become even more critical now more than ever to understand what contextualized math curriculum is and how it can be applied inside an online or face-to-face math classroom. What is contextualized mathematics? What are the foundational research underpinnings of contextualized math curriculum? What have we learned about contextualized math curriculum that will improve math education in the future?

An inhumane math pervades this country: even as our government extracts labor and often taxes from undocumented workers, it excludes these same workers from its social safety net. As a result, these essential workers struggle to get their own basic needs met, from healthcare to education, from freedom of association to the ability to drive to work without looking for ICE in the rearview mirror. An undocumented activist and a social scientist come together to tally of the structural costs of undocumented life.

Who knew solving math problems could be this much fun? Many kids struggle with math, especially as they move on to more and more abstract concepts. It’s harder to understand an idea when you can’t visualize it and see how it applies to you. By making math concepts more relatable, children may find that math can actually be enjoyable and relevant. With this collection of math riddles and brain teasers, carefully created by Cooper the Pooper, you won’t get the same old math problems that only cover what’s taught in school.

America has been steadily sliding in global education rankings for decades. In particular, our students are increasingly unable to compete globally in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. According to the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), in 2010 only 26 percent of high school seniors in the U.S. scored at or above proficient level in math. Another 36 percent were failing.

We all know math is important: We live in the age of big data, our lives are increasingly governed by algorithms, and we're constantly faced with a barrage of statistics about everything from politics to our health. But what might be less obvious is how math factors into your daily life and what memorizing all of those formulae in school had to do with it. Math prodigy Stefan Buijsman is beginning to change that through his pioneering research into the way we learn math.

Math and science are, without a doubt, some of the most difficult subjects in school. These subjects require you to learn different methods, formulas, and terminologies, and most of the time they can be too much to handle. With the help of this audiobook, you will learn how to tackle the heavy mental workload required by these subjects in the most efficient manner. Using just 30 simple steps, you will learn how to breeze through math and science, and in the end you will also find out that studying can be fun.

If you need to learn how to use machine learning, big data, data science, and neural networks but you can’t (or there is no time to) study the complicated math and algorithms behind these technologies, then keep reading. All technologies related to artificial intelligence represent an incredible opportunity if you want to grow your business or if you are searching for a new job, but it’s not very easy to understand how they work.

Wielding his widely recognized powers of explanation, Paul Krugman lays bare the hidden facts behind the $1.35 trillion tax cut. In Fuzzy Math, Krugman dissects the Bush tax cut plan and shows us who wins, who loses, and how quickly the tax cuts will consume the surplus.

For hundreds of years, scientists of quantum physics have been telling things that looked unrealistic at the time they were living in. These scientists understood that everything is energy and discovered the most unbelievable laws that you are probably already familiar with.

Journey into quantum physics - without the mathematical maze! Ever wonder how particles can exist in two places at once or why Einstein called quantum entanglement "spooky action at distance"? Quantum Physics Unplugged transforms these mind-bending concepts into clear, engaging insights that anyone can grasp.
