Introduction to Linear Algebra with Earth Science Applications
This is a Linear Algebra textbook specifically designed for students who are majoring in any Earth Science-related subjects like Geophysics and Atmospheric Sciences, and are also interested in Mathematics. With these target readers in mind, we set out to provide an adequate treatment of Linear Algebra concepts that enables them to tackle relevant Earth Science problems. It aims at striking a balance between mathematical theories and physical (mainly Earth Science) applications. For the first part, it contains a comprehensive review ofMatrix and Vector OperationsVector (Inner Product) Spaces and Linear TransformationsEigenvalues/Eigenvectors and Diagonalization, and moreMeanwhile, the topics of the second part include: Principal Component Analysis (PCA)Least-square Linear RegressionDiscrete Fourier Transform (DFT)Markov ChainsMatrix Factorization Methods such as Cholesky/L(D)U/SVDDynamical SystemsContinuum MechanicsData AssimilationIn each chapter, we focus on a selected Linear Algebra topic, motivated by Earth Science examples (if available) and supplemented with Python programming tutorials. At the end of each chapter, a number of exercises (answered, a total of 136) are given for elucidating the concepts and working on Earth Science projects. This book also provides several colored figures for illustration.

Surveys in Combinatorics 2024
This volume contains nine survey articles by the invited speakers of the 30th British Combinatorial Conference, held at Queen Mary University of London in July 2024. Each article provides an overview of recent developments in a current hot research topic in combinatorics. Topics covered include: Latin squares, Erdős covering systems, finite field models, sublinear expanders, cluster expansion, the slice rank polynomial method, and oriented trees and paths in digraphs. The authors are among the world's foremost researchers on their respective topics but their surveys are accessible to nonspecialist readers: they are written clearly with little prior knowledge assumed and with pointers to the wider literature. Taken together these surveys give a snapshot of the research frontier in contemporary combinatorics, helping researchers and graduate students in mathematics and theoretical computer science to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field.

Proof
An award-winning mathematician shows how we prove what's true, and what to do when we can't "Engaging and uncondescending" - Financial Times How do we establish what we believe? And how can we be certain that what we believe is true? And how do we convince other people that it is true? For thousands of years, from the ancient Greeks to the Arabic golden age to the modern world, science has used different methods--logical, empirical, intuitive, and more--to separate fact from fiction. But it all had the same goal: find perfect evidence and be rewarded with universal truth. As mathematician Adam Kucharski shows, however, there is far more to proof than axioms, theories, and laws: when demonstrating that a new medical treatment works, persuading a jury of someone's guilt, or deciding whether you trust a self-driving car, the weighing up of evidence is far from simple. To discover proof, we must reach into a thicket of errors and biases and embrace uncertainty--and never more so than when existing methods fail. Spanning mathematics, science, politics, philosophy, and economics, this book offers the ultimate exploration of how we can find our way to proof--and, just as importantly, of how to go forward when supposed facts falter.

Math Mammoth Grade 7-B Worktext
Math Mammoth Grade 7-B Worktext (2025 Edition) is the student book for the latter half of 7th grade mathematics studies or the latter half of a pre-algebra course (Math Mammoth Grade 7 is a pre-algebra curriculum). This is the full-color version of the worktext. Please note: The worktext does not include the answer key. The answer keys for grade 7 are sold as a separate book. The main areas of study in Math Mammoth Grade 7-B are: ratios, rates, proportions, and percentgeometry: angle relationships, compass & ruler constructions, drawing problems, pi and the area and circumference of a circle, cross-sections formed when cutting solids, surface area, and volumeprobabilitystatisticsFeaturesMath Mammoth focuses on conceptual understanding. It explains the "WHY", so your children can understand the math, not just learn "HOW" to do it.Concepts are often explained with visual models, followed by exercises using those models. These visual models can take the place of manipulatives for many children; however, it is very easy to add corresponding manipulatives to the lessons if so desired.The curriculum is mastery-oriented. This means it concentrates fairly long on a topic, delving into its various aspects. This promotes conceptual understanding, as opposed to spiral curricula that often tend to jump from topic to topic too much.There is very little teacher preparation required.The curriculum has no separate teacher's manual nor is it scripted. The introduction to each chapter has some notes for the teacher concerning the material in the chapter. All the instruction is written directly to the student in the worktext, and there also exist accompanying videos where you can see Maria herself teach the material.After each chapter introduction, you will find a list of Internet links and resources (games, quizzes, animations, etc.) that can be used for fun, illustrations, and further practice.
