Music journalist Mason, a former pirate radio and club DJ in London,
explores how open source culture is changing the distribution and
control of information and harnessing the old system of punk capitalism
to new market conditions governing society. According to Mason, this
movement's creators operate according to piratical tactics and are
changing the very nature of our economy. He charts the rise of the
ideas and social experiments behind these latter-day pirates, citing
the work of academics, historians and innovators across a multitude of
fields. He also explores contributions by visionaries like Andy Warhol,
50 Cent and Dr. Yuref Hamied, who was called a pirate and a thief after
producing anti-HIV drugs for Third World countries that cost as little
as $1 a day to produce. Pirates, Mason states, sail uncharted waters
where traditional rules don't apply. As a result, they offer great ways
to service the public's best interests. According to Mason, how people,
corporations and governments react to these changes is one of the most
important economic and cultural questions of the 21st century.
Well-written, entertaining and highly original, Mason offers a
fascinating view of the revolutionary forces shaping the world as we
know it.
Mathematics educators agree that problem solving is one of the
essential skills their students should possess, yet few mathematics
courses or textbooks are devoted entirely to developing this skill.
Supported by narrative, examples, and exercises, Ants, Bikes, and
Clocks: Problem Solving for Undergraduates is a readable and enjoyable
text designed to strengthen the problem-solving skills of undergraduate
students. The book, which provides hundreds of mathematical problems,
gives special emphasis to problems in context, often called story
problems or modeling problems, that require mathematical formulation as
a preliminary step. Both analytical and computational approaches, as
well as the interplay between them, are included. This engaging book
will strengthen students' mathematical skills, introduce them to new
mathematical ideas, demonstrate the connectedness of mathematics, and
improve both their analytical and computational problem solving.
Students are encouraged to use the computer, or any tool at hand, for
experimentation or to test their ideas.
