Whether you are an educator, student, researcher, or administrator, it has become even more critical now more than ever to understand what contextualized math curriculum is and how it can be applied inside an online or face-to-face math classroom. What is contextualized mathematics? What are the foundational research underpinnings of contextualized math curriculum? What have we learned about contextualized math curriculum that will improve math education in the future?

“A mathematician,” G. H. Hardy wrote, “like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns." Throughout his childhood, Jim Tilley was encouraged to discover such patterns through the mathematical puzzles his father posed for him to solve. Never satisfied with ordinary solutions, his father insisted on mathematical elegance. Always more comfortable in the realm of the mind, he could never bring himself to give Tilley a hug; they'd merely shake hands on parting. Both father and son set standards for intellectual achievement so high it was difficult to ever be satisfied.

Do you want to become mentally sharper and quicker? Do you want to be able to save time and calculate large numbers on the go while you're shopping or calculating a bill at a restaurant? Do you want other people to notice how you seem to not need a calculator, how you seem like such a genius? Mental math is the ability to solve math problems in your head, without the need to write or use a calculator. And it has all of the benefits implied above and much more. Preliminary studies have even shown that mental math can improve your emotional health as well.

Bayes theorem is a method that is used to solve conditional probability. Also called Bayes theory, this theorem can accurately give you the actual probability of an event, given information about the test. This audiobook is loaded with interactive examples on Bayes theorem. Bayes theorem is also called Bayes rule or Bayes formula and is used in different industries including spam filters and drug testing, due to the fact that it is vital to have a systematic and proven way to find the estimated probability when new data is available.

Do you find yourself grasping to recall various moments? Maybe you can't remember a particular name of a person, even if you just met? Maybe you find yourself forgetting crucial dates when you know you should remember them? Memory can be a tricky thing. But what if I tell you, there is a way for you to remember dates, numbers, and other crucial information just by following simple steps and formulas?

When Hungarian professor Erno Rubik invented the Rubik's Cube (or, rather, his Cube) in the 1970s out of wooden blocks, rubber bands, and paper clips, he didn't even know if it could be solved, let alone that it would become the world's most popular puzzle. Since its creation, the Cube has become many things to many people: one of the best-selling children's toys of all time, a symbol of intellectual prowess, a frustrating puzzle with 43.2 quintillion possible permutations, and now a worldwide sporting phenomenon.

Brian Clegg was always fascinated by Isaac Asimov's classic Foundation series of books, in which the future is predicted using sophisticated mathematical modelling of human psychology and behaviour. Only much later did he realise that Asimov's 'psychohistory' had a real-world equivalent: game theory. Originating in the study of probabilistic gambling games that depend on a random source—the throw of a dice or the toss of a coin—game theory soon came to be applied to human interactions: essentially, what was the best strategy to win, whatever you were doing?

Why do Internet, financial service, and beer commercials dominate Super Bowl advertising? How do political ceremonies establish authority? Why does repetition characterize anthems and ritual speech?

He puts under the scanner our attitudes towards rationality and irrationality, selflessness and selfishness, competition and cooperation, and collaboration and deception.

At 20 years of age, Samuel Leach was studying at college. He appeared to be a typical student, but there was something different about him. While his classmates were engrossed in their studies, as well as their burgeoning social lives, Samuel was adding another facet to his education. He was teaching himself the science and art of trading. With nothing more than a boxer's heart and drive, Samuel turned £2k into £178k in his first year, and a few short years later, he rose to global renown by building his new enterprise to become a multi-million-pound trading business.
