Algebraic Codes on Lines, Planes, and Curves: An Engineering Approach
Algebraic geometry is often employed to encode and decode signals transmitted in communication systems. This book describes the fundamental principles of algebraic coding theory from the perspective of an engineer, discussing a number of applications in communications and signal processing. The principal concept is that of using algebraic curves over finite fields to construct error-correcting codes.
Bringing the High Scope Approach to your Early Years Practice (Bringing ... to your Early Years Practice)
Have you ever wondered what High/Scope is, where it came from, and how it can be used with young children in your setting? Bringing the High Scope Approach to your Early Years Setting provides an introduction to the High/Scope philosophy and its use in early years.

Organized by subspecialty, this case-based review covers all the information students are expected to learn during their internal medicine clerkship. Each topic begins with a brief patient history and a question about the most likely diagnosis or next step in management followed by a discussion of alternative diagnoses and management strategies. The user-friendly approach includes numerous algorithms, images, mnemonics, and tables. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text.
This text is aimed at the abstract or modern algebra course taken by junior and senior math majors and many secondary math education majors. A mid-level approach, this text features clear prose, an intuitive approach, and exercises organized around specific concepts. New to this edition are additional applications exercises to improve student learning.
Teaching and Learning Science: Towards a Personalized Approach
This book extends and unifies recent debate and research about science education in several disparate fields, including philosophy of science, cognitive psychology and motivation theory. Through an approach based on the personalization of learning and the politicization of the curriculum and classroom, it shows how the complex goal of critical scientific literacy can be achieved by all students, including those who traditionally underachieve in science or opt out of science education at the earliest opportunity.
