The Picture Dictionary is an exciting interactive approach to vocabulary building for young learners. It offers everything needed to make learning a new language a delight. Aim of the picture dictionary: * To improve children's understanding of English * To help children develop their dictionary skills * To encourage children to enjoy learning English Specifically designed to engage and motivate young learners and to make English a fun, its special features include: more than 500 words presented in alphabetical order; more than 500 coloured images; parts of speech; a sentence along with every word; vocabulary chosen for its immediate relevance to young learners. This picture dictionary introduces basic dictionary skills such as alphabetization, spelling, pronunciation, and much more. The A-Z pages allow children to learn about the alphabet and alphabetical order; find a word using the initial letter; check their own spelling; and learn how to use simple definitions of words, and so extend their own vocabulary. Encourage children to extend the vocabulary along with the picture dictionary and to build up their active knowledge of English words. #v&spublishers

The National Talent Search Examination has been very popular among school students. This examination not only provides scholarship to the good students but also highlights the students with good aptitude and knowledge. Earlier this examination was used to be conducted for class X students but recently the government has shifted this examination from class X to class VIII. There are 2 separate tests conducted in this examination Mental Ability Test and Scholastic Aptitude Test. The Study Guide for NTSE is a comprehensive book which has been written to provide learning of all the concepts involved in the syllabus of NTSE. Salient features of the book : " The book has been divided into 2 sections - Mental Ability Test and Scholastic Aptitude Test. There are 22 chapters in the Mental Ability Section. The Scholastic Aptitude section has been further divided into 7 parts Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, History, Geography and Civics." The book provides sufficient point-wise theory, solved examples followed by FULLY SOLVED exercises." The most comprehensive coverage as per the latest syllabus of class VI, VII & VIII." Maps, Diagrams and Tables to stimulate the thinking ability of the student." The book also contains very similar questions to what have been asked in the previous NTSE examinations of Class VIII.

This book takes the reader on a journey through the world of college mathematics, focusing on some of the most important concepts and results in the theories of polynomials, linear algebra, real analysis, differential equations, coordinate geometry, trigonometry, elementary number theory, combinatorics, and probability. Preliminary material provides an overview of common methods of proof: argument by contradiction, mathematical induction, pigeonhole principle, ordered sets, and invariants. Each chapter systematically presents a single subject within which problems are clustered in each section according to the specific topic. The exposition is driven by nearly 1300 problems and examples chosen from numerous sources from around the world; many original contributions come from the authors. The source, author, and historical background are cited whenever possible. Complete solutions to all problems are given at the end of the book. This second edition includes new sections on quad ratic polynomials, curves in the plane, quadratic fields, combinatorics of numbers, and graph theory, and added problems or theoretical expansion of sections on polynomials, matrices, abstract algebra, limits of sequences and functions, derivatives and their applications, Stokes' theorem, analytical geometry, combinatorial geometry, and counting strategies. Using the W.L. Putnam Mathematical Competition for undergraduates as an inspiring symbol to build an appropriate math background for graduate studies in pure or applied mathematics, the reader is eased into transitioning from problem-solving at the high school level to the university and beyond, that is, to mathematical research. This work may be used as a study guide for the Putnam exam, as a text for many different problem-solving courses, and as a source of problems for standard courses in undergraduate mathematics. Putnam and Beyond is organized for independent study by undergraduate and gradu ate students, as well as teachers and researchers in the physical sciences who wish to expand their mathematical horizons.

How a web-scale network of autonomous micromanagers can challenge the AI revolution and combat the high cost of quantitative business optimization. The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is leaving behind small businesses and organizations that cannot afford in-house teams of data scientists. In Microprediction, Peter Cotton examines the repeated quantitative tasks that drive business optimization from the perspectives of economics, statistics, decision making under uncertainty, and privacy concerns. He asks what things currently described as AI are not “microprediction,” whether microprediction is an individual or collective activity, and how we can produce and distribute high-quality microprediction at low cost. The world is missing a public utility, he concludes, while companies are missing an important strategic approach that would enable them to benefit—and also give back. In an engaging, colloquial style, Cotton argues that market-inspired “superminds” are likely to be very effective compared with other orchestration mechanisms in the domain of microprediction. He presents an ambitious yet practical alternative to the expensive “artisan” data science that currently drains money from firms. Challenging the machine learning revolution and exposing a contradiction at its heart, he offers engineers a new liberty: no longer reliant on quantitative experts, they are free to create intelligent applications using general-purpose application programming interfaces (APIs) and libraries. He describes work underway to encourage this approach, one that he says might someday prove to be as valuable to businesses—and society at large—as the internet.
