  From breasts and orgasms to periods, pregnancies, and menopause—A Brief History of the Female Body is a fascinating science book explaining the mysteries of the female body through an evolutionary lens. 
   
   
   
  Let's face it: The female body is an enigma. For teenagers first experiencing their periods, the monthly arrival of mood swings and cramps can be agonizing and inconvenient. With pregnancy—perhaps the most miraculous of bodily events—comes countless potential complications, including high blood pressure, diabetes, premature birth, and postpartum depression. And menopause is equally mystifying. Why do females lose their fertility over time and experience the notorious side effects—like hot flashes, weight gain, and hair loss—while males maintain their fertility forever? 
   
   
   
  Evolutionary geneticist and educator Dr. Deena Emera has spent much of her career studying the evolution of female reproduction. A Brief History of the Female Body draws on her vast expertise as a biologist, her experience as a mother of four children, and her love of teaching to look far into our evolutionary past, illuminating how and, more importantly, why the female form has transformed over millions of years and its effects on women's health.

  Data Equals - Democratic...

  An expansive vision for data equality that goes beyond algorithmic fairness. 
   
  When we gave algorithms power over our world, we hoped that the apparent neutrality of machine thinking would create a more egalitarian age. Yet we are more divided than ever, staring down threats to democracy itself. In Data Equals, Colin Koopman argues that data technologies fail us so often because we built them around a deficient notion of equality. 
   
  It is not enough, Koopman explains, that algorithms engage everyone’s data with the same measuring stick. The data themselves are all too often structured in ways that obscure and exacerbate stratifying distinctions. Koopman contends that we must also work to ensure that those people subject to computational assessment enter data systems on equal terms. Part philosophical argument, part practical guide (replete with case studies from education technology), Data Equals offers novel methods for realizing democratic equality in a digital age.

  Mathematical physics serves as the foundation for expressing and solving physical problems using rigorous mathematical structures and techniques. The discipline of mathematical physics bridges the gap between abstract mathematical theories and physical phenomena, providing a formal framework through which the laws of nature are defined, analyzed, and interpreted. The foundations of mathematical physics rest on several key mathematical structures, including calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and complex analysis. These mathematical tools are essential for formulating physical theories, predicting experimental outcomes, and uncovering deeper insights into the nature of the physical world. 
  One of the fundamental mathematical tools in physics is calculus, which provides the framework for describing the motion of objects, the behavior of fields, and the change of physical quantities over time and space. Newton and Leibniz independently developed the principles of differential and integral calculus, which allowed for the precise formulation of classical mechanics and gravitation. Differential calculus deals with rates of change and slopes of curves, which are essential in defining velocity, acceleration, and force. Integral calculus, on the other hand, is used to calculate areas under curves and accumulated quantities, such as work and potential energy.
