This text is an expansion and refinement of lecture notes I developed
while teaching proofs courses over the past fourteen years at Virginia
Commonwealth University (a large state university) and Randolph-Macon
College (a small liberal arts college). I found the needs of these two
audiences to be nearly identical, and I wrote this book for them. But I am
mindful of a larger audience. I believe this book is suitable for almost any
undergraduate mathematics program.

This second edition incorporates many minor corrections and additions
that were suggested by readers around the world. In addition, several
new examples and exercises have been added, and a section on the CantorBernstein-Schröeder theorem has been added to Chapter 13.

Al preparar la undécima edición de Cálculo de Thomas, hemos querido mantener el estilo de las versiones anteriores y conservar las fortalezas detectadas en ellas. Nuestra meta ha sido, por lo tanto, identificar las mejores características de las ediciones clásicas de la obra y, al mismo tiempo, atender cuidadosamente las sugerencias de nuestros muchos usuarios y revisores. Con estos altos estándares en mente, hemos reconstruido los ejercicios y aclarado algunos temas de difícil comprensión. De acuerdo con el autor, George Thomas, “hemos intentado escribir el libro con tanta claridad y precisión como ha sido posible”.

Once you see a pattern, you can’t un-see it. Trust me, I’ve tried. But when the same truth keeps repeating itself, it’s hard to pretend that it’s just a coincidence. For example, no matter how hard I try to convince myself that I can function on six hours of sleep, anything less than eight hours leaves me impatient, anxious, and foraging for carbohydrates. It’s a pattern. I also have a terrible procrastination pattern: I always put off writing by reorganizing my entire house and spending way too much time and money buying office supplies and organizing systems. Every single time.

This book is about awakening the heart. If you have ever wondered how to awaken your genuine compassionate heart, this book will serve as
a guide.

In our era, when so many people are seeking help to relate to their own feelings of woundedness and at the same time wanting to help relieve the suffering they see around them, the ancient teachings presented here are especially encouraging and to the point. When we find that we are closing down to ourselves and to others, here is instruction on how to open. When we find that we are holding back, here is instruction on how to give. That which is unwanted and rejected in ourselves and in others can be seen and felt with honesty and compassion. This is teaching on how to be there for others without withdrawing.

So, what is Git in a nutshell? This is an important section to absorb, because if you understand what Git is and the fundamentals of how it works, then using Git effectively will probably be much easier for you. As you learn Git, try to clear your mind of the things you may know about other VCSs, such as CVS, Subversion or Perforce — doing so will help you avoid subtle confusion when using the tool. Even though Git’s user interface is fairly similar to these other VCSs, Git stores and thinks about information in a very different way, and understanding these differences will help you avoid becoming confused while using it.

Modern computers distinguish data in several types. Data can be numbers, characters, strings (a group of characters), and so on. In Python, you can define new data types as and when required. There are some built-in data types for handling numbers and characters. Different data types occupy different amounts of memory. It is important to understand your needs and choose a data type accordingly. Data types also determine the accuracy of the answer. We will discuss the various built-in data types in Python in the sections that follow.

12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos is a 2018 bestselling self-help book by Canadian clinical psychologist and psychology professor Jordan Peterson. The book includes abstract ethical principles about life influenced by and based on biology, literature, religion, myths, clinical experience and scientific research. It is written in a more accessible style than his previous academic book, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief (1999).

An introductory course on Software Engineering remains one of the hardest
subjects to teach largely because of the wide range of topics the area encompasses.
I have believed for some time that we often tend to teach too many
concepts and topics in an introductory course resulting in shallow knowledge
and little insight on application of these concepts. And Software Engineering
is finally about application of concepts to efficiently engineer good software
solutions.

If you've ever spent hours renaming files or updating hundreds of spreadsheet cells, you know how tedious tasks like these can be. But what if you could have your computer do them for you?

In Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, you'll learn how to use Python to write programs that do in minutes what would take you hours to do by hand-no prior programming experience required. Once you've mastered the basics of programming, you'll create Python programs that effortlessly perform useful and impressive feats of automation to:

- Search for text in a file or across multiple files
- Create, update, move, and rename files and folders
- Search the Web and download online content
- Update and format data in Excel spreadsheets of any size
- Split, merge, watermark, and encrypt PDFs
- Send reminder emails and text notifications
- Fill out online forms
- Step-by-step instructions walk you through each program, and practice - projects at the end of each chapter challenge you to improve those programs and use your newfound skills to automate similar tasks.

Don't spend your time doing work a well-trained monkey could do. Even if you've never written a line of code, you can make your computer do the grunt work. Learn how in Automate the Boring Stuff with Python.

The real challenge of programming isn’t learning a language’s syntax—it’s learning to creatively solve problems so you can build something great.

In this one-of-a-kind text, author V. Anton Spraul breaks down the ways that programmers solve problems and teaches you what other introductory books often ignore: how to Think Like a Programmer. Each chapter tackles and recursion, and open-ended exercises throughout
a single programming concept, like classes, pointers, challenge you to apply your knowledge.

Machine learning is the latest in a long line of attempts to distill human
knowledge and reasoning into a form that is suitable for constructing machines and engineering automated systems. As machine learning becomes more ubiquitous and its software packages become easier to use, it is natural and desirable that the low-level technical details are abstracted away and hidden from the practitioner. However, this brings with it the danger that a practitioner becomes unaware of the design decisions and, hence, the limits of machine learning algorithms.

The enthusiastic practitioner who is interested to learn more about the
magic behind successful machine learning algorithms currently faces a
daunting set of pre-requisite knowledge:

* Programming languages and data analysis tools
* Large-scale computation and the associated frameworks
* Mathematics and statistics and how machine learning builds on it

This text explains how to use mathematical models and methods to analyze problems that arise in computer science. Proofs play a central role in this work because the authors share a belief with most mathematicians that proofs are essential for genuine understanding. Proofs also play a growing role in computer science; they are used to certify that software and hardware will always behave correctly, something that no amount of testing can do.

Una colección de historias sobre el mundo de las finanzas escrita por una de las grandes plumas del periodismo financiero de todos los tiempos

¿Qué tienen en común el fiasco del modelo de coche Ford Edsel, el fulgurante ascenso de Xerox y el increíble escándalo de General Electric? Pues que todas ellas son empresas emblemáticas que, en un momento dado, saltaron a la fama por algún hecho concreto y que John Brooks recoge en este libro. Historias sobre Wall Street, sobre sus defectos y sus excesos, con personajes fascinantes que entrelazan drama y aventura, y revelan las maquinaciones y la naturaleza volátil del mundo de las finanzas.

Es irrelevante si Brooks nos está contando el asombroso desplome del mercado bursátil de 1962, los defectos del impuesto federal sobre la renta o el audaz intento por parte de los banqueros estadounidenses para salvar la libra esterlina, uno tiene la sensación de que la historia se repite en la actualidad.

Your brain on JavaScript. You’re sitting around trying to learn something,
but your brain keeps telling you all that learning isn’t important. Your brain’s saying, “Better leave room for more important things, like which wild animals to avoid and whether naked water skiing is a bad idea.” So how do you trick your brain into thinking that your life really depends on learning JavaScript?

Your brain on HTML & CSS. Here you are trying to learn something, while
here your brain is doing you a favor by making sure the learning doesn’t stick. Your brain’s thinking, “Better leave room for more important things, like which wild animals to avoid and whether naked snowboarding is a bad idea.” So how do you trick your brain into thinking that your life depends on knowing HTML & CSS?

La Gestión de la Calidad se ha convertido actualmente en la condición necesaria para cualquier estrategia dirigida hacia el éxito competitivo de la empresa. El aumento incesante del nivel de exigencia del consumidor, junto a la explosión de competencia procedente de nuevos países con ventajas comparativas en costes y la creciente complejidad de productos, procesos, sistemas y organizaciones, son algunas de las causas que hacen de la calidad un factor determinante para la competitividad y la supervivencia de la empresa moderna. La literatura en este campo, apoyada en una amplia evidencia empírica, concluye que la competitividad empresarial, en un entorno turbulento como el actual, exige una orientación prioritaria hacia la mejora de la calidad. El fundamento de esta prescripción teórica es la existencia de una relación positiva entre la Gestión de la Calidad y los resultados organizativos. La
abundante literatura existente reposa en una hipótesis explícita: la implantación de sistemas de gestión y mejora de la calidad permite alcanzar posiciones de mercado, competitivas y financieras más fuertes. Simultáneamente, el proceso de difusión ha revelado una fructífera aproximación de la Gestión de la Calidad al resto de funciones empresariales y directivas, que se ha plasmado en la integración de sistemas de gestión varios (que incluyen desde la Gestión de la Calidad a la gestión de la prevención de riesgos laborales, la gestión de los recursos humanos, la gestión ética y la gestión medioambiental) y en
la convergencia de la Gestión de la Calidad con la Dirección Estratégica.

It’s a great resource for someone with a modest amount of professional programming experience and a basic knowledge of data structures and algorithms. Bentley covers a wide range of topics relevant to the working programmer, including multiple chapters with case studies of algorithmic development from Bentley’s life as a professional developer, a chapter on the importance of choosing the right data structure(s) for your program, program performance/tuning, and finally a number of chapters that discuss specific algorithms and data structures.
