Download or read book Common Sense Mathematics Second Edition written by Ethan D. Bolker and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years from now, what do you want or expect your students to remember from your course? We realized that in ten years what matters will be how students approach a problem using the tools they carry with them—common sense and common knowledge—not the particular mathematics we chose for the curriculum. Using our text, students work regularly with real data in moderately complex everyday contexts, using mathematics as a tool and common sense as a guide. The focus is on problems suggested by the news of the day and topics that matter to students, like inflation, credit card debt, and loans. We use search engines, calculators, and spreadsheet programs as tools to reduce drudgery, explore patterns, and get information. Technology is an integral part of today's world—this text helps students use it thoughtfully and wisely. This second edition contains revised chapters and additional sections, updated examples and exercises, and complete rewrites of critical material based on feedback from students and teachers who have used this text. Our focus remains the same: to help students to think carefully—and critically—about numerical information in everyday contexts.

Download or read book Commonsense Rebellion written by Bruce E. Levine and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 2001 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly one in four American adults are on psychiatric drugs, and Ritalin production has increased 800 percent since 1990, yet the mental health industry laments the fact that two-thirds of us with diagnosable mental disorders do not seek treament. The author argues that "institutional mental health's" ever-increasing diseases, disorders, and drugs divert us from examining an important rebellion. This rebellion--mainly passive and too often self-destructive--is against an increasingly impersonal and coercive "institutional society." Institutional society's worship of speed, power, and technology has created fantastic wealth--at least for some of us--but its disregard for human autonomy, community, and diversity has come with a cost.

Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this epistemological volume takes Searle’s ‘simple theory’ and ‘common sense’ realism and builds it from the ground up, applying it to some of the most contentious issues in the philosophy of science. Garry Potter shall also attempt to extent his notions of science and realism beyond the subject boundaries to demonstrate the applicability of both scientificity and realism where such a possibility is perhaps most counter-intuitive: literary criticism. Potter thus presents a unified theory of knowledge.

Download or read book The Bet written by Paul Sabin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Bet uses a legendary wager between the Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich and the conservative University of Illinois economist Julian Simon to examine the roots of modern environmentalism and its relationship to broader political conflicts in the nation. Ehrlich, author of the landmark 1968 book The Population Bomb, believed that rising populations would cause overconsumption, scarcity, and disastrous famines. Simon countered that flexible markets, technological change, and human ingenuity would allow societies to adapt to changing circumstances and continue to improve human welfare. In 1980, they made a much-ballyhooed bet about the future prices of five metals that served as a proxy for their arguments about the future. The Bet weaves intellectual biographies of Ehrlich and Simon into the history of late twentieth-century environmental politics and other struggles of the era between liberals and conservatives. Humanity's larger gamble on the future still remains unresolved. By wrestling with the different sides of these arguments, The Bet encourages a more nuanced approach to environmental problems, one that acknowledges the limitations of both ecology and economics in guiding policy, and that instead emphasizes the conflicting values that underlie political choices. The Bet is structured around three bets: first, the $1000 bet that Ehrlich (and two colleagues) made with Simon over the prices of chromium, copper, nickel, tin, and tungsten; second, the bet that the United States faced in the 1980 presidential election in choosing between Carter and Reagan; and third, the larger gamble that we as a society continue to make as we make choices"--

Download or read book Barbershops Bibles and BET written by Melissa Harris-Perry and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the best way to understand black political ideology? Just listen to the everyday talk that emerges in public spaces, suggests Melissa Harris-Lacewell. And listen this author has--to black college students talking about the Million Man March and welfare, to Southern, black Baptists discussing homosexuality in the church, to black men in a barbershop early on a Saturday morning, to the voices of hip-hop music and Black Entertainment Television. Using statistical, experimental, and ethnographic methods Barbershops, Bibles, and B.E.T offers a new perspective on the way public opinion and ideologies are formed at the grassroots level. The book makes an important contribution to our understanding of black politics by shifting the focus from the influence of national elites in opinion formation to the influence of local elites and people in daily interaction with each other. Arguing that African Americans use community dialogue to jointly develop understandings of their collective political interests, Harris-Lacewell identifies four political ideologies that constitute the framework of contemporary black political thought: Black Nationalism, Black Feminism, Black Conservatism and Liberal Integrationism. These ideologies, the book posits, help African Americans to understand persistent social and economic inequality, to identify the significance of race in that inequality, and to devise strategies for overcoming it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congratulations! You hold in your hands a book that is guaranteed to help you win more and lose less at the betting window. How do I know that? Because my football email readers have used the methods detailed in this book to win money consistently year after year for over a decade now without a single losing season. In order to win, you may have to change some of your sports betting beliefs. You may have to alter your approach to handicapping. Don't worry. It's a piece of cake. I'll walk you through it. Here's the Secret: The key to winning is math, plus common sense. Math is required to identify key numbers, to make your own line on every game, and to take advantage of betting odds that are in your favor. Common sense is needed in order to sift through all of the sports betting nonsense currently being promulgated across the internet. Believe me, there's a ton of it. Common sense also comes into play when analyzing games. At least five times every season, a game comes along that makes absolutely no sense; a game that the vast majority of sports bettors fail to capitalize on, because they fail to apply common sense. The Week One game between Jacksonville and Houston to open the 2021 season is a good example. Jacksonville opened as a 1-point road favorite and the game was quickly bet up to -3. What didn't make sense was that Jacksonville had a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback, both in their first NFL start. Neither one had ever won an NFL game before and Jacksonville's rookie quarterback had yet to throw his first NFL touchdown pass. Despite that, the point-spread was asking them both to not only win an NFL game - something neither had ever done before - but to also cover the number. In addition to that, Jacksonville went 0-8 on the road the previous season. It had been over a year since they had last won a game away from home, yet here they were laying points as a road favorite. Can you see how absurd that situation was? It made absolutely zero sense. Yet sports bettors bought it. Money poured in on Jacksonville like there was no tomorrow, and it wasn't just public money either. The so-called sharps were on Jacksonville too. Everyone involved with the game, both sharps and squares alike, threw common sense out the window and bet the game like it was free money. Meanwhile, my football email readers and I took Houston as one of our top games for Week One and they won by a score of 37-21. Emotional Poise So math and common sense are your two top requirements when it comes to betting football to win. Is there anything else one needs? Yes, and it might be the most important factor of all: emotional poise. Emotional poise consists of maintaining a calm emotional state no matter what the circumstances; never feeling too high and never feeling too low. Especially too low. Emotional poise is closely related to money management and we'll discuss that in detail in an upcoming chapter. Are you ready to start winning? Great!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "COMMON SENSE (Political Classics Series)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents Common Sense was published anonymously on January 10, 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution, and became an immediate sensation. Written in clear and persuasive prose, Thomas Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It. Common Sense made public a persuasive and impassioned case for independence, which before the pamphlet had not yet been given serious intellectual consideration. He connected independence with common dissenting Protestant beliefs as a means to present a distinctly American political identity, structuring Common Sense as if it were a sermon. Historian Gordon S. Wood described Common Sense as "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era". Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was an English-American political activist, philosopher, political theorist, and revolutionary. One of the Founding Fathers of the United States, he authored the two most influential pamphlets at the start of the American Revolution, and he inspired the rebels in 1776 to declare independence from Britain. Paine's ideas reflected Enlightenment-era rhetoric of transnational human rights.
