Math for the Pharmacy Technician: Concepts and Calculations
by Kathryn A. Booth Lynn M. EglerRecognizing the enormous need for well-trained pharmacy technicians as well as the serious need to decrease medication errors, we have developed Math for Pharmacy Technicians: Concepts and Calculations. This textbook is organized from simple to complex and walks the student through the necessary information to pass the math portion of the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) exam. More important, we have created pharmacy technician-specific information that is nonthreatening and will help the student learn to safely practice as a pharmacy technician. This text is organized into 11 chapters, along with a pretest and a comprehensive evaluation, or post test.
Math in Our World: A Quantitative Literacy Approach
by Dave Sobecki Brian MercerWhat does quantitative reasoning really mean? Is it just liberal arts math with a new name on the cover of the book? We say that it is not. It’s about students productively struggling with context-based problems. It’s not just learning how to do math problems, but more importantly learning how quantitative thinking is applied throughout the curriculum, and throughout a lifetime.

Mathematics in Twentieth-Century Literature & Art: Content, Form, Meaning
by Robert TubbsThe author of What Is a Number? examines the relationship between mathematics and art and literature of the 20th century.During the twentieth century, many artists and writers turned to abstract mathematical ideas to help them realize their aesthetic ambitions. Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, and, perhaps most famously, Piet Mondrian used principles of mathematics in their work. Was it coincidence, or were these artists following their instincts, which were ruled by mathematical underpinnings, such as optimal solutions for filling a space? If math exists within visual art, can it be found within literary pursuits? In short, just what is the relationship between mathematics and the creative arts?In this exploration of mathematical ideas in art and literature, Robert Tubbs argues that the links are much stronger than previously imagined and exceed both coincidence and commonality of purpose. Not only does he argue that mathematical ideas guided the aesthetic visions of many twentieth-century artists and writers, Tubbs further asserts that artists and writers used math in their creative processes even though they seemed to have no affinity for mathematical thinking.In the end, Tubbs makes the case that art can be better appreciated when the math that inspired it is better understood. An insightful tour of the great masters of the last century and an argument that challenges long-held paradigms, this book will appeal to mathematicians, humanists, and artists, as well as instructors teaching the connections among math, literature, and art.“Though the content of Tubbs’s book is challenging, it is also accessible and should interest many on both sides of the perceived divide between mathematics and the arts.” —Choice
Mathematics in Twentieth-Century Literature and Art: Content, Form, Meaning
by Robert TubbsChips away at the notion of an accidental relationship between math and art and literature.During the twentieth century, many artists and writers turned to abstract mathematical ideas to help them realize their aesthetic ambitions. Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, and, perhaps most famously, Piet Mondrian used principles of mathematics in their work. Was it mere coincidence, or were these artists simply following their instincts, which in turn were ruled by mathematical underpinnings, such as optimal solutions for filling a space? If math exists within visual art, can it be found within literary pursuits? In short, just what is the relationship between mathematics and the creative arts?In this provocative, original exploration of mathematical ideas in art and literature, Robert Tubbs argues that the links are much stronger than previously imagined and exceed both coincidence and commonality of purpose.

Mathematics: Its Power and Utility Tenth Edition
by Karl J. SmithIN THIS BOOK, we look at the power of mathematics, not the drudgery of number crunching. We look back through history and see how the power of mathematics has revolutionized the world. We also take an in-depth look at the utility of mathematics--how it is useful to you now--rather than telling you that it might be useful someday. The main theme throughout the book is problem solving.
Matinee Melodrama
by Scott HigginsLong before Batman, Flash Gordon, or the Lone Ranger were the stars of their own TV shows, they had dedicated audiences watching their adventures each week. The difference was that this action took place on the big screen, in short adventure serials whose exciting cliffhangers compelled the young audience to return to the theater every seven days. Matinee Melodrama is the first book about the adventure serial as a distinct artform, one that uniquely encouraged audience participation and imaginative play. Media scholar Scott Higgins proposes that the serial's incoherent plotting and reliance on formula, far from being faults, should be understood as some of its most appealing attributes, helping to spawn an active fan culture. Further, he suggests these serials laid the groundwork not only for modern-day cinematic blockbusters like Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, but also for all kinds of interactive media that combine spectacle, storytelling, and play. As it identifies key elements of the serial form--from stock characters to cliffhangers--Matinee Melodrama delves deeply into questions about the nature of suspense, the aesthetics of action, and the potentials of formulaic narrative. Yet it also provides readers with a loving look at everything from Zorro's Fighting Legion to Daredevils of the Red Circle, conveying exactly why these films continue to thrill and enthrall their fans.
