  Health-care providers and their patients are human, and all humans have unconscious biases that affect how we listen, observe, and act. Bias impacts patients when they are at their most vulnerable. Health-care bias can mean the difference not just between suffering and relief, but between life and death. 
   
   
   
  For the first time, an author with the unique perspective of being one of America's top doctors, a woman, and Black, candidly addresses the issue of bias in health care, sharing personal and patient stories and pragmatic solutions. Dr. Angela Marshall, repeatedly named a "Top Doctor" by Washingtonian magazine, draws on extensive research, poignant stories from some of the thousands of patients she has treated, and her own compelling personal experience, to examine the bias from both patients' and health-care providers' points of view. She offers a bold blueprint for change, filled with fresh solutions that can help everyone in our health-care system. 
   
   
   
  Dismissed not only explains what so many people feel so profoundly—that the system is working against them. It also reveals what health-care practitioners, patients, and society in general can do to make it right.

  How do you apply game theory to select who should be on your Christmas shopping list? What equations should you use to decorate the Christmas tree? Will calculations show Santa is getting steadily thinner—shimmying up and down chimneys for a whole night—or fatter—as he munches on cookies and milk in billions of houses across the world?In The Indisputable Existence of Santa Claus, distinguished mathematicians Hannah Fry and Thomas Oléron Evans demonstrate, with eminent clarity, how applied mathematics are so thoroughly interwoven throughout our everyday lives by explaining mathematical concepts through one very merry motif: Christmas. In their quest to provide mathematical proof for the existence of Santa, the authors take listeners on a festive journey through a traditional holiday season, wherein every activity, from wrapping presents to playing board games to cooking the perfect turkey, is painstakingly and hilariously analyzed. Because who hasn't always wondered how to set up a mathematically perfect Secret Santa?Lighthearted and diverting with Christmasy equations, Markov chains, and matrices, The Indisputable Existence of Santa Claus brightens up the bleak midwinter with a stockingful of mathematical marvels.

  Introduction to General...

  General Relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915, revolutionized our understanding of gravity. It describes gravity not as a force in the traditional sense, as in Newtonian physics, but as a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. This groundbreaking theory was not only a significant departure from previous models of gravity but also the foundation for modern cosmology and astrophysics. 
  At the core of General Relativity is the concept that massive objects like planets, stars, and galaxies bend the fabric of spacetime around them. This curvature influences the movement of objects within it, including light, which explains phenomena such as gravitational lensing, where light bends around massive objects. The equation that governs this curvature is Einstein’s famous field equation, which mathematically relates the geometry of spacetime to the energy and momentum of whatever matter and radiation are present. 
  Before Einstein’s work, gravity was understood in terms of Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which described gravitational force as an instantaneous action at a distance between two masses. While this model worked well for many practical applications, it had limitations, especially in extreme conditions such as those near very massive objects or moving at high velocities. General Relativity resolved these issues by providing a more accurate description of gravitational phenomena, particularly in scenarios involving high gravitational fields, such as near black holes or in the context of cosmology.
