Book excerpt: Colton has one goal to accomplish before his junior year of high school is over: ask his childhood crush, Reyna, on a date. The thing is, they’re complete opposites. Sure they used to be neighbors and were friends as kids, but then he joined the football team and became popular. She’s quiet, nerdy (in a cute way), and for some reason stopped talking to him years ago. Just like most people in Brazos High, Reyna is headed to the beach for spring break. But she’s not there to party—she’s there to help her grandma run the family coffee shop. With her parents out of town and her cousin ditching her last minute, Reyna has no ride to the beach. And then her old friend Colton appears, offering to make the six hour road trip with her. Reyna has no other choice but to accept his kindness, and what she thinks will be a simple (but awkward) road trip, turns out to be something much more.

Book excerpt: Teach me everything. My whole life, I’ve been a good girl. I follow rules like nobody’s business. I obey guidelines like I was born to it. Show me a line, and I’ll toe it. I’m even a twenty-two-year-old virgin. Good is my middle name. And then, I break one tiny little rule. Miniscule. Inconsequential. Next thing I know, I’m trapped with an incredibly handsome stranger. He’s got eyes like cut emeralds, biceps that makes my head spin, and a smile that has me rethinking all my life choices. We escape a bar bathroom together. We go on an impromptu date. We share the hottest kiss I’ve ever had, one that leaves me panting for more. We promise to see each other again. Turns out, we see each other the next morning. In my calculus class. Which he’s teaching. My handsome, sexy date is Professor Loveless, and we’ll be seeing each other plenty. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday all semester. There’s no choice but to call it off. We both have too much at stake: I could lose my scholarship, and he could lose his entire career. But I can’t call off the way I feel. I can’t call off the way he looks when he rolls up his sleeves and explains imaginary numbers. I can’t call off the heated glances, or the way our hands touch when I hand in my homework, or the memory of his body pressing against mine that night. I’m a virgin. He’s my professor. And if we give in, it could cost us both everything. But I’m so tired of being a good girl. The Hookup Equation is the fourth book in the Loveless Brothers series, and can be read as a total standalone. It's for fans of high-heat, low-angst romantic comedies and anyone who's ever been hot for teacher.

Download or read book The Impact Equation written by Chris Brogan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-10-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Anyone can write a blog post, but not everyone can get it liked thirty-five thousand times, and not everyone can get seventy-five thousand subscribers. But the reason we’ve done these things isn’t because we’re special. It’s because we tried and failed, the same way you learn to ride a bike. We tried again and again, and now we have an idea how to get from point A to point B faster because of it.” Three short years ago, when Chris Brogan and Julien Smith wrote their bestseller, Trust Agents, being interesting and human on the Web was enough to build a significant audience. But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise. In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say, you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers. You need a potent mix of all of the above and more. Use the Impact Equation to figure out what you’re doing right and wrong. Apply it to a blog, a tweet, a video, or a mainstream-media advertising campaign. Use it to explain why a feature in a national newspaper that reaches millions might have less impact than a blog post that reaches a thousand passionate subscribers. Consider the phenomenally successful British singer Adele. For most musicians, onstage banter basically consists of yelling “Hello, Cleveland!” But Adele connects with her audience, pausing between songs to discuss a falling-out with her friends, or the drama of a break up. Each of these moments comes off as if she were talking directly with you, and you can easily relate. Adele has Impact. As the traditional channels for marketing, selling, and influencing disappear and more people interact mainly online, the very nature of attention is changing. The Impact Equation will give you the tools and metrics that guarantee your message will be heard.
Download or read book The Soulmate Equation written by Christina Lauren and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners returns with a witty and effervescent novel about what happens when two people with everything on the line are thrown together by science—or is it fate? Perfect for fans of The Rosie Project and One Plus One. Single mom Jess Davis is a data and statistics wizard, but no amount of number crunching can convince her to step back into the dating world. Raised by her grandparents—who now help raise her seven-year-old daughter, Juno—Jess has been left behind too often to feel comfortable letting anyone in. After all, her father’s never been around, her hard-partying mother disappeared when she was six, and her ex decided he wasn’t “father material” before Juno was even born. Jess holds her loved ones close, but working constantly to stay afloat is hard...and lonely. But then Jess hears about GeneticAlly, a buzzy new DNA-based matchmaking company that’s predicted to change dating forever. Finding a soulmate through DNA? The reliability of numbers: This Jess understands. At least she thought she did, until her test shows an unheard-of 98% compatibility with another subject in the database: GeneticAlly’s founder, Dr. River Pena. This is one number she can’t wrap her head around, because she already knows Dr. Pena. The stuck-up, stubborn man is without a doubt not her soulmate. But GeneticAlly has a proposition: Get to know him and we’ll pay you. Jess—who is barely making ends meet—is in no position to turn it down, despite her skepticism about the project and her dislike for River. As the pair are dragged from one event to the next as the “Diamond” pairing that could make GeneticAlly a mint in stock prices, Jess begins to realize that there might be more to the scientist—and the science behind a soulmate—than she thought. Funny, warm, and full of heart, The Soulmate Equation proves that the delicate balance between fate and choice can never be calculated.

Download or read book Conceptions and Consequences of Mathematical Argumentation Justification and Proof written by Kristen N. Bieda and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to advance ongoing debates in the field of mathematics and mathematics education regarding conceptions of argumentation, justification, and proof and the consequences for research and practice when applying particular conceptions of each construct. Through analyses of classroom practice across grade levels using different lenses - particular conceptions of argumentation, justification, and proof - researchers consider the implications of how each conception shapes empirical outcomes. In each section, organized by grade band, authors adopt particular conceptions of argumentation, justification, and proof, and they analyse one data set from each perspective. In addition, each section includes a synthesis chapter from an expert in the field to bring to the fore potential implications, as well as new questions, raised by the analyses. Finally, a culminating section considers the use of each conception across grade bands and data sets.
Download or read book C Square written by Bear Kosik and published by Fiction4All. This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eighteen-year-old enters a bunker in western Massachusetts. She reawakens an emergent behavior artificial intelligence placed in the vault five days after she was born. The machine introduces itself as Arthur; she was intended to resurrect the AI after it had been murdered by its creator, Adam Eli Nilo, her maternal grandfather's father. Dr. Nilo's efforts to save humanity from self-destruction using advanced technologies such as AI and genetic manipulation all lead to more problems than solutions and ultimately lead him to a mental breakdown. His story is interwoven with the experiences of his two children, who use technologies in far more mundane, yet equally unsuccessful ways. Dr. Nilo's son, Benjamin Rodgers Nilsson, is the result of Nilo succumbing to the advances of a lonely neighbor when they were both sixteen. Ben's personal journal entries begin when he buys a voice-recognition device that can translate his words into clean text for his eighteenth birthday. The entries are revealed in reverse order so that the first one encountered is the one he makes on his granddaughter's eighteenth birthday in 2101. Along the way, we learn how technologies have affected people such as Ben but, in the end, have done little to enhance their lives. Dr. Nilo's only legally recognized child, Susannah, is the product of the process he developed with the aid of Arthur to perfect humans. Susannah's story describes the six months in 2083 leading to the birth of Ben's granddaughter and Arthur's murder. She has been kept in the dark about being a C Square, a person whose two gametes were chosen by Arthur to meet specific criteria aimed at creating a perfected human being. Susannah ultimately learns her true heritage and identity just as it becomes impossible for her to access the resources she would need to fully understand her place as a second Eve. The same themes in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein frame the whole: the consequences of humans using technological methods that circumvent nature; the futility of technological progress as a substitute for human development; and the alienation of creations from their creators, even when those creations are biological children, and their creator is an unknown parent. The story concludes with Arthur telling the teenager that humans create gods who they say created them. Gods do not have the power to create anything. However, they can be omniscient and therefore far beyond the capacity of their human creators, just as Arthur is.

Book excerpt: Safia Douglas is a short, thin, fit, happy, healthy, fifteen-year-old African American girl living in a pleasant enough neighborhood in the suburbs on the Southwest side of Atlanta, Georgia. Right now, her biggest concerns are passing Joshua’s Law so she can get her driver’s license when her birthday rolls around, spending time with her three best friends in the world, and navigating the difficulties of tenth grade. Her parents, and her grandfather who lives with them, make the core of her existence, and their friendship with the families of her friends is the origin of the special connection that binds her with her circle of friends. Within this circle, there are no secrets, there are no betrayals, and there are no obstacles which they cannot overcome together. Life could neither be better nor simpler for this young girl who loves her life exactly as it is. But a centuries-old story, known only as make-believe to the circle of friends, is about to debut its newest chapter in the middle of their lives, testing their unity and resolve, spawning new opportunities and feelings, and proving to the close-knit group of friends that the reality in which they have lived is anything but real. What unexpected developments lie ahead for these teenagers? What secrets are their families keeping from them? Who will answer the call when the fate of the world is on the line? What will Safia do when the most dangerous villain from a popular comic book turns out to be real and threatens her life? And who is Shujaa Safara, the Warrior of Fire and Light?
Download or read book The Secret Formula written by Fabio Toscano and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-12-03 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legendary Renaissance math duel that ushered in the modern age of algebra The Secret Formula tells the story of two Renaissance mathematicians whose jealousies, intrigues, and contentious debates led to the discovery of a formula for the solution of the cubic equation. Niccolò Tartaglia was a talented and ambitious teacher who possessed a secret formula—the key to unlocking a seemingly unsolvable, two-thousand-year-old mathematical problem. He wrote it down in the form of a poem to prevent other mathematicians from stealing it. Gerolamo Cardano was a physician, gifted scholar, and notorious gambler who would not hesitate to use flattery and even trickery to learn Tartaglia's secret. Set against the backdrop of sixteenth-century Italy, The Secret Formula provides new and compelling insights into the peculiarities of Renaissance mathematics while bringing a turbulent and culturally vibrant age to life. It was an era when mathematicians challenged each other in intellectual duels held outdoors before enthusiastic crowds. Success not only enhanced the winner's reputation, but could result in prize money and professional acclaim. After hearing of Tartaglia's spectacular victory in one such contest in Venice, Cardano invited him to Milan, determined to obtain his secret by whatever means necessary. Cardano's intrigues paid off. In 1545, he was the first to publish a general solution of the cubic equation. Tartaglia, eager to take his revenge by establishing his superiority as the most brilliant mathematician of the age, challenged Cardano to the ultimate mathematical duel. A lively account of genius, betrayal, and all-too-human failings, The Secret Formula reveals the epic rivalry behind one of the fundamental ideas of modern algebra.
Download or read book Number Theory in Mathematics Education written by Rina Zazkis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers multiple interconnected perspectives on the largely untapped potential of elementary number theory for mathematics education: its formal and cognitive nature, its relation to arithmetic and algebra, its accessibility, its utility and intrinsic merits, to name just a few. Its purpose is to promote explication and critical dialogue about these issues within the international mathematics education community. The studies comprise a variety of pedagogical and research orientations by an international group of researchers that, collectively, make a compelling case for the relevance and importance of number theory in mathematics education in both pre K-16 settings and mathematics teacher education. Topics variously engaged include: *understanding particular concepts related to numerical structure and number theory; *elaborating on the historical and psychological relevance of number theory in concept development; *attaining a smooth transition and extension from pattern recognition to formative principles; *appreciating the aesthetics of number structure; *exploring its suitability in terms of making connections leading to aha! insights and reaching toward the learner's affective domain; *reexamining previously constructed knowledge from a novel angle; *investigating connections between technique and theory; *utilizing computers and calculators as pedagogical tools; and *generally illuminating the role number theory concepts could play in developing mathematical knowledge and reasoning in students and teachers. Overall, the chapters of this book highlight number theory-related topics as a stepping-stone from arithmetic toward generalization and algebraic formalism, and as a means for providing intuitively grounded meanings of numbers, variables, functions, and proofs. Number Theory in Mathematics Education: Perspectives and Prospects is of interest to researchers, teacher educators, and students in the field of mathematics education, and is well suited as a text for upper-level mathematics education courses.
