How to Calculate Quickly: Full Course in Speed ArithmeticMany useful procedures explained and taught: two-column addition, left-to-right subtraction, direct multiplication by numbers greater than 12, mental division of large numbers, more. Also numerous helpful short cuts. More than 8,000 problems, with solutions. This book do not used trick but teach you "number sense" ... and how to calculate from left to right with complex number. Believe me, I was afraid of that kind of calculation and with that book I learned a lot!
In the Light of Evolution: Volume 1. Adaptation and Complex DesignIn December 2006, the National Academy of Sciences sponsored a colloquium (featured as part of the "Arthur M. Sackler Colloquia" series) on "Adaptation and Complex Design" to synthesize recent empirical findings and conceptual approaches towards understanding the evolutionary origins and maintenance of complex adaptations.
The material from function theory, up to the residue calculus, is developed in a lively and vivid style, well motivated throughout by examples and practice exercises. Additionally, there is ample discussion of the historical evolution of the theory, biographical sketches of important contributors, and citations (original language together with English translation) from their classical works. Yet the book is far from being a mere history of function theory. Even experts will find here few new or long forgotten gems, like Eisenstein's novel approach to the circular functions.
Permutation Tests for Complex Data: Theory, Applications and Software
Complex multivariate testing problems are frequently encountered in many scientific disciplines, such as engineering, medicine and the social sciences. As a result, modern statistics needs permutation testing for complex data with low sample size and many variables, especially in observational studies.
