The Way Things Work - Telecommunications

In Telecommunications, a visiting inventor investigating a stream of flying boulders discovers the islanders’ primitive communication system and decides to help them upgrade to one that is more efficient and less dangerous. The inventor introduces the telephone -- a device that uses electricity, light and radio waves to transmit sound messages. The islanders discover that fiber-optic systems make communicating over long distances even easier than phone lines. They learn how fax machines work and how cell phones make it possible to talk to anyone almost anywhere in the world!

Grades:  3 to 6

Encyclopedia of Distances

altDistance metrics and distances have become an essential tool in many areas of pure and applied Mathematics, and this encyclopedia is the first one to treat the subject in full. The book appears just as research intensifies into metric spaces and especially, distance design for applications. These distances are particularly crucial, for example, in computational biology, image analysis, speech recognition, and information retrieval.
