Download or read book Curves for the Mathematically Curious written by Julian Havil and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten amazing curves personally selected by one of today's most important math writers Curves for the Mathematically Curious is a thoughtfully curated collection of ten mathematical curves, selected by Julian Havil for their significance, mathematical interest, and beauty. Each chapter gives an account of the history and definition of one curve, providing a glimpse into the elegant and often surprising mathematics involved in its creation and evolution. In telling the ten stories, Havil introduces many mathematicians and other innovators, some whose fame has withstood the passing of years and others who have slipped into comparative obscurity. You will meet Pierre Bézier, who is known for his ubiquitous and eponymous curves, and Adolphe Quetelet, who trumpeted the ubiquity of the normal curve but whose name now hides behind the modern body mass index. These and other ingenious thinkers engaged with the challenges, incongruities, and insights to be found in these remarkable curves—and now you can share in this adventure. Curves for the Mathematically Curious is a rigorous and enriching mathematical experience for anyone interested in curves, and the book is designed so that readers who choose can follow the details with pencil and paper. Every curve has a story worth telling.

Download or read book The Bell Curves written by Michael Mingroni and published by Non Additive Press. This book was released on 2020-06-19 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book author Michael Mingroni describes a scientific hypothesis that suggests human populations are undergoing rapid genetic change as a result of demographic changes such as urbanization and population mobility. As recently as two centuries ago, it was much more common for people in the now industrialized parts of the world to live in small towns and villages. Owing to their relative isolation, each village of the past would have constituted its own distinct gene pool. The movement of people to the cities has led to a mixing of those gene pools. Plant and animal breeders have long known that the crossing of genetically distinct strains of a species can cause large, rapid changes in various traits. The offspring of crosses, known as hybrids, generally grow larger and faster than either of the parental strains from which the hybrids are produced. The same effect is likely occurring in our own species. The technical term for this genetic effect, commonly known as hybrid vigor, is heterosis. Several studies have already documented the expected genetic changes in the form of increased genetic heterozygosity. These genetic changes offer a possible cause of trends in traits such as height, growth rate, IQ and others. They could also explain trends in conditions such as autism, asthma, myopia and others. Because it involves the mixing of all genes in the genome, heterosis can explain the occurrence of multiple parallel trends. Because it relies on the mixing of existing genetic material, heterosis can explain the very rapid pace of the trends. Most importantly, because it is a genetic mechanism, heterosis can explain why the various traits and conditions have always appeared to be strongly influenced by genetic, not environmental, factors. That is, it can explain their high heritability. In the book, the hypothesis is explained, ways by which it can be tested are listed, and some of its potential implications are explored.

Download or read book The Dictator s Learning Curve written by William J. Dobson and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this riveting anatomy of authoritarianism, acclaimed journalist William Dobson takes us inside the battle between dictators and those who would challenge their rule. Recent history has seen an incredible moment in the war between dictators and democracy—with waves of protests sweeping Syria and Yemen, and despots falling in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya. But the Arab Spring is only the latest front in a global battle between freedom and repression, a battle that, until recently, dictators have been winning hands-down. The problem is that today’s authoritarians are not like the frozen-in-time, ready-to-crack regimes of Burma and North Korea. They are ever-morphing, technologically savvy, and internationally connected, and have replaced more brutal forms of intimidation with subtle coercion. The Dictator’s Learning Curve explains this historic moment and provides crucial insight into the fight for democracy.

Download or read book The Age Curve written by Kenneth W. GRONBACH and published by AMACOM Div American Mgmt Assn. This book was released on 2008-06-25 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, marketers have held on to unwavering beliefs that have dictated how they market to their consumers. But the hard truth is that the changes we see in marketing and business are based on one undeniable factor—the size of the generations we are selling to. As each generation ages, what they buy and how much they buy will change. Each product and service has a “best customer” that sustains a business. As these customers grow up, the smartest marketers will stay ahead of them—and their money. In The Age Curve, marketing guru Kenneth Gronbach shows executives and entrepreneurs how to anticipate this wave of predictable demand and ride it to success. Gronbach reveals how our largest generations, the Baby Boomers and Generation Y, are redefining how we market and how businesses can anticipate their needs more effectively. Complete with entertaining examples of companies like Apple who have perfected their strategies for building a loyal customer base, as well as those who haven’t (Levi Strauss and Honda Motorcycle), this book will show readers: • how to determine their best customers • how successful companies are earning the loyalty of Generation Y and cultivating allegiance to their products for years to come • why Generation X is a much less valuable market than any of us have been led to believe • and much more Both shocking and compelling, The Age Curve will change the way companies look at their customers and how they market to them.

Download or read book The J Curve written by Ian Bremmer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-09-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Locate nations on the J Curve -- left for authoritarian, right for democratic. Then figure out how to force those on the left to open their societies, rather than encouraging them to shut them tighter by further isolating them. The West's isolation of Kim Jong-il's North Korea gives him the cover he needs to extend his brutal regime (the mistake the U.S. made for a long time with Saddam Hussein and Castro); in Saudi Arabia, western governments should encourage manageable change before the country breaks apart; they should help strengthen China's economy so it can further liberalize; they must encourage Israel to decide what kind of country it will be. Filled with imaginative and surprising examples of how to correct outworn political ideas, The J Curve points the way for western governments to lead the way to a realistic political balance and a healthier economic future.
Download or read book Practical Handbook of Curve Fitting written by Sandra Arlinghaus and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-06-14 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Handbook of Curve Fitting is a reference work assembled by Arlinghaus and a set of editors with well over a century of combined experience in various disciplines and activities related to curve fitting. The book demonstrates how to analyze World data bases and graph and map the results. Default settings in software packages can produce attractive graphs of data imported into the software. Often, however, the default graph has no equation associated with it and cannot therefore be used as a tool for further analysis or projection of the data. The same software can often be used to generate curves from equations. The reader is shown directly, and in a series of steps, how to fit curves to data using Lotus 1-2-3. There are traditional unbounded curve fitting techniques-lines of least squares, exponentials, logistic curves, and Gompertz curves. There is the bounded curve fitting technique of cubic spline interpolation. Beyond these, there is a detailed application of Feigenbaum's graphical analysis from chaos theory, and there is a hint as to how fractal geometry might come into play. Curve fitting algorithms take on new life when they are actually used on real-world data. They are used in numerous worked examples drawn from electronic data bases of public domain information from the Stars data base of The World Bank and from the WRD data base of the World Resources Institute. The applications are current and reflect a state-of-the-art interest in the human dimensions of global change.
