Download or read book The Right It written by Alberto Savoia and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this accessible, prescriptive, and widely applicable manual, Google’s first engineering director and current Innovation Agitator Emeritus provides critical advice for rethinking how we launch a new idea, product, or business, insights to help successfully beat the law of market failure: that most new products will fail, even if competently executed. Millions of people around the world are working to introduce new ideas. Some will turn out to be stunning successes and have a major impact on our world and our culture: The next Google, the next Polio vaccine, the next Harry Potter, the next Red Cross, the next Ford Mustang. Others successes will be smaller and more personal, but no less meaningful: A restaurant that becomes a neighborhood favorite, a biography that tells an important story, a local nonprofit that cares for abandoned pets. Simultaneously, other groups are working equally hard to develop new ideas that, when launched, will fail. Some will fail spectacularly and publicly: New Coke, the movie John Carter, the Ford Edsel. Others failures will be smaller and more private, but no less failure: A home-based business that never takes off, a children’s book that neither publishers nor children have any interest in, a charity for a cause too few people care about. Most people believe that their venture will be successful. But the law of market failure tells us that up to 90 percent of most new products, services, businesses, and initiatives will fail soon after launch—regardless of how promising they sound, how much we commit to them, or how well we execute them. This is a hard fact to accept. Combining detailed case studies with personal insight drawn from his time at Google, his experience as an entrepreneur and consultant, and his lectures at Stanford University and Google, Alberto Savoia offers an unparalleled approach to beating the beast that is market failure: “Make sure you are building The Right It before you build It right,” he advises. In The Right It, he provides lessons on creating your own hard data, a strategy for market engagement, and an introduction to the concept of a pretotype (not a prototype). Groundbreaking, entertaining, and highly practical, this essential guide delivers a proven formula for ensuring ideas, products, services, and businesses succeed.

Download or read book Project Math written by James A. Robison and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Math is not another project management exam prep book. If you only want a primer to just get you thru the math questions on the certificate exam; keep looking. This book contains all the mathematics you will encounter on the project management exam, plus a whole lot more that is not on the exam; such as using Microsoft® Excel® to resolve project management issues and make better real world decisions. Project Math includes the stuff you will encounter in the real world of project management, not just on the exam. For example, it not only describes "rough order of magnitude" and "definitive estimates," it explains when each should be used to convey information (not just numbers). It also includes "ballpark estimates" and "wild ass guesses" (WAGs) and even "scientific wild ass guesses" (SWAGs). It covers the simple math topic of rounding, but it also includes why rounding is appropriate and sometimes necessary to properly communicate your message to your stakeholders. If you want to be a better project manager, a better agile coach or a better scrum master, this book is for you. If you are an aspiring project team member wanting to become a project manager, this book is for you. If you are a project sponsor, or a business analyst, this book is for you. If you are an engaged project stakeholder, this book is for you. If you want to run a better project management offices, this book is for you. If you want to learn how to use Microsoft® Excel® to solve complex project management problems, this book is for you. If you want to compare the total project risk between alternative projects, this book is for you. If you want to define the total cost or duration of your project as optimistic, pessimistic and most likely, this book is for you. Project managers are skilled leaders, team builders, motivators, conflict resolvers, negotiators, and coaches. They have good "people skills" but their toolbox might be only half full. Successful project managers also have good decision making and communicating skills. They know how to use quantitative and qualitative analysis to make the right decisions, and they know how to summarize data and make meaningful presentations to team members, sponsors, and other stakeholders. Great project managers are equally prepared to deal with people and with numbers. They are "ambidextrous thinkers," equally skilled at using their left brain and their right brain. They are equipped to handle any issue; opportunity or threat; quantitative or qualitative. Great project managers have all the necessary tools in their toolbox, and they know how and when to use each of them. If that is your objective, to be a great project manager, this book is for you.
Download or read book How Not to Be Wrong written by Jordan Ellenberg and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Witty, compelling, and just plain fun to read . . ." —Evelyn Lamb, Scientific American The Freakonomics of math—a math-world superstar unveils the hidden beauty and logic of the world and puts its power in our hands The math we learn in school can seem like a dull set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In How Not to Be Wrong, Jordan Ellenberg shows us how terribly limiting this view is: Math isn’t confined to abstract incidents that never occur in real life, but rather touches everything we do—the whole world is shot through with it. Math allows us to see the hidden structures underneath the messy and chaotic surface of our world. It’s a science of not being wrong, hammered out by centuries of hard work and argument. Armed with the tools of mathematics, we can see through to the true meaning of information we take for granted: How early should you get to the airport? What does “public opinion” really represent? Why do tall parents have shorter children? Who really won Florida in 2000? And how likely are you, really, to develop cancer? How Not to Be Wrong presents the surprising revelations behind all of these questions and many more, using the mathematician’s method of analyzing life and exposing the hard-won insights of the academic community to the layman—minus the jargon. Ellenberg chases mathematical threads through a vast range of time and space, from the everyday to the cosmic, encountering, among other things, baseball, Reaganomics, daring lottery schemes, Voltaire, the replicability crisis in psychology, Italian Renaissance painting, artificial languages, the development of non-Euclidean geometry, the coming obesity apocalypse, Antonin Scalia’s views on crime and punishment, the psychology of slime molds, what Facebook can and can’t figure out about you, and the existence of God. Ellenberg pulls from history as well as from the latest theoretical developments to provide those not trained in math with the knowledge they need. Math, as Ellenberg says, is “an atomic-powered prosthesis that you attach to your common sense, vastly multiplying its reach and strength.” With the tools of mathematics in hand, you can understand the world in a deeper, more meaningful way. How Not to Be Wrong will show you how.
Download or read book Mathematics of Finance written by Donald G. Saari and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-31 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook invites the reader to develop a holistic grounding in mathematical finance, where concepts and intuition play as important a role as powerful mathematical tools. Financial interactions are characterized by a vast amount of data and uncertainty; navigating the inherent dangers and hidden opportunities requires a keen understanding of what techniques to apply and when. By exploring the conceptual foundations of options pricing, the author equips readers to choose their tools with a critical eye and adapt to emerging challenges. Introducing the basics of gambles through realistic scenarios, the text goes on to build the core financial techniques of Puts, Calls, hedging, and arbitrage. Chapters on modeling and probability lead into the centerpiece: the Black–Scholes equation. Omitting the mechanics of solving Black–Scholes itself, the presentation instead focuses on an in-depth analysis of its derivation and solutions. Advanced topics that follow include the Greeks, American options, and embellishments. Throughout, the author presents topics in an engaging conversational style. “Intuition breaks” frequently prompt students to set aside mathematical details and think critically about the relevance of tools in context. Mathematics of Finance is ideal for undergraduates from a variety of backgrounds, including mathematics, economics, statistics, data science, and computer science. Students should have experience with the standard calculus sequence, as well as a familiarity with differential equations and probability. No financial expertise is assumed of student or instructor; in fact, the text’s deep connection to mathematical ideas makes it suitable for a math capstone course. A complete set of the author’s lecture videos is available on YouTube, providing a comprehensive supplementary resource for a course or independent study.
