Review:Easy to connect to wi-fi and Bluetooth speaker. The built in speaker is good enough; but we connect it to a quality Bluetooth speaker, for music. The TP Link smart plug works well with this unit. Alexa can keep you up to date on news, sports and weather; plus answer all kinds of questions. She does alarms and timers.The connection to music is worth the $29.00 sale price. We have used it for over a week now, without a single problem or complaint. That is a relatively short time; but with electron... Read more

Review:This is a good read. I was always rather curious about how Facebook started as most articles give a very superficial background of Mark Zuckerberg and how Facebook started in a dorm room. I think that the book tries to focus quite a lot of attention on how Mark Zuckerberg is a bit awkward, singularly focused, and has a tough time reading social signals from people in real life. At least, that's what the book tells us. The interesting thing is that perhaps we should take a lesson from this an... Read more

Review:Here's a good Brain-Teaser ,.,.,. that everyone can empathize with!!!

How did human beings get here??? Where did we come from???

There are "2" good answers that everyone is aware of:

1- Evolution, Darwinism; we evolved from a damn monkey!

[I could never buy this explanation! I believe it's Nazism, "the blacks" being the missing link.]

2- Creationism; a God made the people! [I could never buy this hokus-pokus, faith is their only support.]

DID YOU KNOW TH... Read more

Review:Definitely one of the better books out there on statistics, particularly for individuals that might otherwise be intimidated by the subject. Walks through examples of the various tests and figures of statistics using easy to understand examples. Not the typical dry textbook on statistics. Read more

Review:Statistics is a hard subject in any textbook, I think Statistics for Dummies helped in advanced concepts, I would have been equally as pleased if the base concepts were dummied down just a little more. Dr. Rumsey should be commended on her ability to make a tough subject more understandable. Read more

Review:Well-written book. Clear explanations of statistical concepts and methodologies. along with explanation of how to implement in R. Useful for someone with a medium understanding of statistics and aptitude for learning programming languages, to rapidly increase their knowledge and gain practice. Read more

Review:This little book is a wonderful compact introduction the methodology of analytical mechanics. While not new to me, I thoroughly enjoyed this review of the action principle, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of the equations of motion, symmetries and conservation laws, and Poisson brackets. For those who think these fancy techniques are superfluous, and all mechanical problems can be solved with F = ma, the authors suggest setting up the equations of motion for the double pendulum. Th... Read more

Review:This is an extremely difficult book to review. Though a layman in this field, fortunately, I have researched quantum mechanics and read enough books over the last few years on the subject to do a reasonably informed job of covering the salient points:
1) I have no doubt the author feels he has attempted to construct this book in a manner that can be understood fairly easily by many. Not to be insulting to anyone, but this book is definitely not for the novice.
2) Even with some backgroun... Read more

Review:The best book on quantum physics since Briane Greene's "Elegant Universe." A superb blend of cutting edge science, history, literature, and philosophy. A must read for anyone even remotely interested in the subject. Read more

Review:I wanted something gristly and meaty that would ideally focus on cutting edge physical research/developments and how they would directly impact the world. The kind of stuff you get exposed to on a daily basis if you read reddit and other aggregators. I hoped this would be supplemental and informative; having just trudged through the first section, that on computer developments, I am thoroughly underwhelmed. The dude is mealy mouthed and talks about the most broad vague trends in jaundiced termin... Read more
