Chemistry (Quick Study Academic)
Chemistry (Quick Study Academic)

Review:As a student, you can spend hours sifting through hundreds of textbook pages to find the equations you need. Even worse, after a few years in school, you'll find yourself searching years of notes and many different text books to find all the equations you'll need for your homework problems. This equation sheet is a LIFESAVER because it sums up everything you need to know and remember when in the chemistry field. I can't list all the times I've referenced it to remember the topics or equations I... Read more

Reflections of a Computer Contrarian - High-Tech Heretic
Reflections of a Computer Contrarian - High-Tech Heretic

Review:In the book High Tech Heretic by Clifford Stoll, I only ask one question. Is it necessary that people write books about something that is extremely unnecessary in today's society? Honestly, this book is a thought of how someday teachers may be replaced by a computer. Is it necessary? There will not be a single a soul that will allow that to happen. Now, true that maybe possible in a long stretch, but today's society is not going to allow that to happen. The book also focuses on the use of ... Read more

A Beautiful Mind
A Beautiful Mind

Review:I was very disappointed in A Beautiful Mind and couldn't finish it. There seemed to be too much math "talk" that I couldn't get past to get to the actual person and story. Maybe another day, I'll try to go back and finish it. I tried! :( Read more

How Life and Consciousness are the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe
How Life and Consciousness are the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe

Review:I found the relationship of consciousness to the universe intriguing. But I found his criticism of string theory as speculative somewhat inconsistent, given that this theory is also speculative. I do think that consciousness is one of those mysteries that is tied up with other aspects of the universe, but I don't necessarily accept that the rest of the universe exists only as probabilities until perceived by a conscious entity. I find research into near-death experiences also very intriguing, an... Read more

A Quantitative Reasoning Approach (5th Edition) - Using and Understanding Mathematics
A Quantitative Reasoning Approach (5th Edition) - Using and Understanding Mathematics

Review:Using and Understanding Mathematics is the worse math book I have ever opened in my entire life. Chapters 5 and 6 are definitely the worse chapters in the book. Chapters 5 and 6 deal with statistical reasoning, having taken a statistic course prior to this course I found that there were a lot of mistakes in the book. The explanation of surveying and opinion polls was extremely poor. The calculation of the confidence interval was not clearly defined neither was the discussion on choosing bias for... Read more
