Summary

This title in the Homework Helpers series will reinforce mathematical foundations and bolster students' confidence in pre-calculus. The concepts are explained in everyday language before the examples are worked. Good habits, such as checking your answers after every problem, are reinforced.There are practice problems throughout the book, and the answers to all of the practice problems are included. The problems are solved clearly and systematically, with step-by-step instructions provided.Particular attention is placed on topics that students traditionally struggle with the most. While this book could be used to supplement a standard pre-calculus textbook, it could also be used by college students or adult learners to refresh long-forgotten concepts and skills.Homework Helpers: Pre-Calculus is a straightforward and understandable introduction to differential calculus and its applications. It covers all of the topics in a typical Calculus class, including:Linear functionsPolynomialsRational functionsExponential functionsLogarithmic functionsSystems of equationsThis book also contains a review of the pre-calculus concepts that form the foundation on which calculus is built.

    A mathematician takes us on “a pilgrimage through the uncanny world of symmetry [in] a dramatically presented and polished treasure of theories” (Kirkus Reviews). 
     
    Symmetry is all around us. Of fundamental significance to the way we interpret the world, this unique, pervasive phenomenon indicates a dynamic relationship between objects. Combining a rich historical narrative with his own personal journey as a mathematician, Marcus du Sautoy—a writer “able to engage general readers in the cerebral dramas of pure mathematics” (Booklist)—takes a unique look into the mathematical mind as he explores deep conjectures about symmetry and brings us face-to-face with the oddball mathematicians, both past and present, who have battled to understand symmetry’s elusive qualities. 
     
    “The author takes readers gently by the hand and leads them elegantly through some steep and rocky terrain as he explains the various kinds of symmetry and the objects they swirl around. Du Sautoy explains how this twirling world of geometric figures has strange but marvelous connections to number theory, and how the ultimate symmetrical object, nicknamed the Monster, is related to string theory. This book is also a memoir in which du Sautoy describes a mathematician’s life and how one makes a discovery in these strange lands. He also blends in minibiographies of famous figures like Galois, who played significant roles in this field.” —Publishers Weekly 
     
    “Fascinating and absorbing.” —The Economist 
     
    “Impressively, he conveys the thrill of grasping the mathematics that lurk in the tile work of the Alhambra, or in palindromes, or in French mathematician Évariste Galois’s discovery of the interactions between the symmetries in a group.” —Kirkus Reviews

    Cleanse Your Body and Mind, and Lose Weight with Autophagy and Intermittent Fasting! 
    Losing weight, or preventing weight gain are two things the majority of people on the planet have had trouble with, at some point in their lives. We work hard and live fast, and finding time to eat properly and exercise can be challenging. 
    But what if losing weight and improving your physical health doesn’t have to be a time-consuming, tedious process? 
    What if your body already possesses the ability to prolong your life, make you look younger and lose weight? 
    This ability is called Autophagy, and it might sound like magic, but it relies on undisputable science and biology. Our bodies are made of cells that are constantly regenerating. As we get older, the regenerating process is gradually slowing down. That’s why it’s harder to lose weight when we hit a certain age, and our skin starts to lose its flexibility and wrinkles. Autophagy is a biological process of cleaning damaged cells and generates healthy ones. 
    You already have the power to trigger it, and this book will show you exactly how to do it! 
    Here’s what you’ll learn: 
    ●	The complete science behind Autophagy, different types and mechanisms  
    ●	How to activate Autophagy in your body and use it slow down the aging process 
    ●	Techniques for boosting Autophagy and preventing cells from damaging and dying 
    ●	How to use intermittent fasting to induce and power up the Autophagy 
    ●	Avoiding common mistakes that can sabotage the process 
    ●	How to use Autophagy to prevent diseases and heal your body naturally 
    ●	And much, much, more!

    Psychedelic drugs are making a comeback. In the mid-twentieth century, scientists actively studied the potential of drugs like LSD and psilocybin for treating mental health problems. After a decades-long hiatus, researchers are once again testing how effective these drugs are in relieving symptoms for a wide variety of psychiatric conditions, from depression and obsessive–compulsive disorder to posttraumatic stress disorder and substance addiction. In Acid Revival, Danielle Giffort examines how this new generation of researchers and their allies are working to rehabilitate psychedelic drugs and to usher in a new era of psychedelic medicine.As this team of researchers and mental health professionals revive the field of psychedelic science, they are haunted by the past and by one person in particular: psychedelic evangelist Timothy Leary. Drawing on extensive archival research and interviews with people working on scientific psychedelia, Giffort shows how today's researchers tell stories about Leary as an "impure" scientist and perform his antithesis to address a series of lingering dilemmas that threaten to rupture their budding legitimacy. Acid Revival presents new information about the so-called psychedelic renaissance and highlights the cultural work involved with the reassembly of dormant areas of medical science.

    Bed bugs have been making a valiant comeback in the West since the end of the Second World War, and are now firmly entrenched in our cities. So much so, that every Western hotel has to take special precautions costing an aggregated sum of billions of dollars a year, which is passed on to us, the paying guest. 
    It is long past the time when everyone should take this subject seriously, so, in that vein, I hope that you will find the information below helpful, useful and profitable. 
    The advice in this ebook on how to deal with bed bugs and related subjects is organised into 18 chapters of about 500-600 words each. I have also included the scientific classification for clarity and the lyrics of two popular songs for the sake of levity. 
    As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.
