Beschreibung

Babylonian Mathematics explores the sophisticated mathematical system developed in ancient Babylonia, highlighting its lasting influence on modern science and mathematics. The book delves into their innovative base-60 number system, which remarkably survives today in our measurement of time and angles, and their advanced algebraic techniques. Discover how the Babylonians solved complex equations and understood geometric principles, including a version of the Pythagorean Theorem predating Pythagoras himself. 

 
The book carefully reconstructs the historical context of Babylonian mathematical innovation, examining cuneiform texts and the role of scribes in developing mathematical tools for administration and commerce. By analyzing translated clay tablets, the author reveals the practical applications of their mathematics, offering a unique perspective on how they tackled real-world problems. Each chapter progresses from the number system to algebra, geometry, and finally, the lasting legacy of Babylonian contributions.

    Security has been designed for well resourced organizations, and thus falls short for 90% of organizations who lack the necessary resources to manage security at scale. Security built-in by design and by default provides a leap for these organizations. However, we must also use architectural patterns that scale to better meet the needs of these organizations. Learn more on why we are at a. critical junction to make this shift and how to consider architectural patterns that scale in product design and selection. 
    The information security industry is undergoing a major change, forced by the rise of end-to-end encryption, encryption that cannot be intercepted, transport protocol stack evolution, "zero trust networks", and distributed computing. While we understand the logical connections between these trends, there is little analysis of all of these trends in combination. Examination of all five trends uncovers opportunities that not only improve the state of information security and the general posture, but also lead to resource reductions necessary for information security to be sustainable. 
    In this exciting new book from security expert Kathleen M. Moriarty, the examination of all five trends uncovers opportunities to change the state of information security. Providing a unique perspective from the center of the debates on end-to-end encryption, Moriarty explores emerging trends in both information security and transport protocol evolution, going beyond simply pointing out today's problems to providing solutions for the future of our product space.

    On April 24, 1990, the Space Shuttle Discovery lifted off from Kennedy Space Center on the Space Shuttle Program’s 35th mission, but this was no ordinary mission. In its payload bay, Discovery was carrying the Hubble Space Telescope, with the objective of putting the telescope into orbit. 	The Hubble telescope, working in space less than 400 miles above the Earth’s surface, produced photos of galaxies previously unseen as they existed only 500 million years before the “Big Bang.” It was fortuitous that Hubble outlived its anticipated lifespan by many years, because the launch of its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, was delayed by 15 years.   
    	Several new obstacles delayed the launch, but NASA believed that it was finally prepared to proceed in 2020 after completion of construction four years prior. Then came the COVID pandemic, and 2020 became the year of “delayed events,” with the launch of the most sophisticated space telescope in history proving to be no exception.  
    	The increase in excitement was palpable. Scientists had viewed much of the universe through Hubble, almost as it was when it was formed, but they learned that none of these galaxies were the first ones formed. Then ultimately realized that “Hubble wasn’t the right instrument to detect those first galaxies.” “The farther we can see in space, the farther we can see in time…and that’s not a metaphor. That’s actually literally true,” explained scientist Amber Straughn. The Webb Space Telescope represents “looking in a part of space that we’ve never seen before.” The telescope will be able to detect the earliest galaxies because of its unparalleled sensitivity. Another factor is the kind of light it will collect, “light that our eyes aren’t designed to see.”

    The world stood still as whispers turned to warnings, and warnings became a reality. This book is an engaging and coarse account of how the COVID-19 crisis spread. It exposes the cracks in global preparedness, leadership failures, and the stability of everyday people. This book carries readers past the headlines, presenting a deep analysis of the chaotic early days of the pandemic. It emphasizes how misinformation, political missteps, and lack of readiness intensified the crisis, shifting what could have been a managed outbreak into a global disaster. The author also captures the full spectrum of survival, from frontline healthcare workers battling exhaustion to corporate leaders scrambling to hold businesses afloat.
