Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences (Vintage)
Dozens of examples in innumeracy show us how it affects not only personal economics and travel plans, but explains mischosen mates, inappropriate drug-testing, and the allure of psuedo-science.
Innumeracy, an inability to deal comfortably with the fundamental notions of number and
chance, plagues far too many otherwise ... | | Metal Forming: Mechanics and Metallurgy
My coauthor Robert Caddell died in 1990. I have greatly missed interacting with him.
The biggest changes from the second edition are an enlargement and reorganization
of the last third of the book, which deals with sheet metal forming. Changes have been
made to the chapters on bending, plastic anisotropy, and cup... | | Windows Admin Scripting Little Black Book, Second EditionThis book shows Windows XP and 2003 users and administrators how to perform Windows management and administrative tasks using powerful scripts for just about every important task imaginable.
