Shape Size Color Count is an early math course designed to teach the fundamental skills behind the two most popular tests given in Pre-K and Kindergarten for entry into gifted and talented programs. Since these tests measure the skills behind a strong academic performance, Shape Size Color Count will provide a strong start to school. This innovative course strengthens quantitative and visual perception skills in a way similar to how phonics strengthens reading. Build visual number sense and visual perception from the ground up Introduce working math vocabulary, the building block of analysis Step through dimension, ordinals and transformation Challenge thinking with subtle problems Shape Size Color Count provides a strong foundation in conceptual vocabulary, visual and quantitative skills. It is an investment that will continue to pay off on tests and in school.
This text surveys research from the fields of data mining and information visualisation and presents a case for techniques by which information visualisation can be used to uncover real knowledge hidden away in large databases.
This book examines deep learning-based approaches in the field of cancer diagnostics, as well as pre-processing techniques, which are essential to cancer diagnostics. Topics include introduction to current applications of deep learning in cancer diagnostics, pre-processing of cancer data using deep learning, review of deep learning techniques in oncology, overview of advanced deep learning techniques in cancer diagnostics, prediction of cancer susceptibility using deep learning techniques, prediction of cancer reoccurrence using deep learning techniques, deep learning techniques to predict the grading of human cancer, different human cancer detection using deep learning techniques, prediction of cancer survival using deep learning techniques, complexity in the use of deep learning in cancer diagnostics, and challenges and future scopes of deep learning techniques in oncology.
Kids Learn! is a parent-involvement resource designed to bridge the away-from-school gap in instruction with standards-based activities in reading, writing, and mathematics. The resource also: models how parents and caregivers can be more involved with their child's learning during vacations and other breaks from school reinforces information learned during the just-ended school year, while preparing students for the upcoming grade leveloffers suggestions for quick and fun family activities that will provide a rich knowledge base for students to draw upon in the coming school year
Pages 330. 58 illustrations. The book is divided into three parts. In the first part (The intuitions) the author deals with the most relevant hypotheses on the illusory reality of the perceptible world. The existence of a level of consciousness that transcends matter has been envisaged by the great thinkers. We find this idea in Plato's Myth of the Cave, in Berkeley's Immaterialistic Theory, in the Psychology of Form. The most authoritative source lies in the works on the collective unconscious and on the theory of synchronicity by Carl Jung. In the second part (Confirmations) the author describes in an elementary but detailed way the path of quantum physics, from Thomas Young's double slit experiment to the phenomena of the superposition of states and quantum correlation. Through these privileged keys it is possible to understand quantum entanglement. In the third part (Perspectives) the author describes the theories developed by David Bohm on the "quantum potential" on the "implicated universe". and on the holographic vision of the cosmos. Everything is explained with absolute simplicity, without the use of mathematical formulas and with the help of many illustrations. Humanity, from its very beginnings, wanted to investigate the origin and composition of things, to discover their functioning and their intimate purpose. The universally used method is to break down objects into smaller and smaller parts, then analyzing them with every possible technique, from visual investigation to chemical reactions. This still happens today. For example, if a scientist wants to discover the chemical and physical structure of a cube of granite, he will break it into smaller and smaller pieces until it is divided into individual atoms. However, if the scientist himself wants to investigate the individual particles that make up the atom, he receives an incredible surprise. The granite cube behaves like an ice cube would. The scientist sees the matter that becomes fog, evaporates, disappears between his fingers. Solid matter becomes energy that vibrates. The single particles are transformed into fluctuating waves without any solid corporeality. At the subatomic level, matter is no longer solid matter, it becomes something different. Elementary particles deceive us. They look like solid specks if someone observes them, but they behave like vibrating waves when they are not observed. Atoms practically only contain vacuum. On the surface, we believe we can touch, weigh, manipulate and measure matter. But, in its most intimate composition, matter becomes a ripple of emptiness, energy, information, wave or vibration. What seems to us solid material, in its most intimate essence is no longer solid material. At this point, it is clear that we can no longer speak of a single reality. Depending on the levels of observation, from the extremely small to the infinitely large, there are many realities, all different but all absolutely true. Or, perhaps, there are many aspects of a higher reality, still unknown. All philosophies and religions have always hypothesized a "zone of the spirit" transcending matter; no one, however, has ever been able to provide proof of its existence. Today quantum physics is opening a huge window on horizons that, until the last century, we could not have imagined. The confirmations come from the experiments carried out successfully, especially those relating to the phenomenon of quantum entanglement.
This volume celebrates the 50th anniversary of the famous and influential work of Jean Piaget and Alina Szeminska, The Child's Conception of Number. It is a tribute to those two authors as well as to the entire Geneva school that pioneered the genetic study of cognitive structures in children. Dealing with the process of the child's construction of the notion of number -- a very important subject for the child as well as for the teacher, the researcher, and the practicing psychologist -- it summarizes the progress that has been made and outlines new research directions in this area. The book is a compilation of the work of the foremost international researchers in this area and includes a wide spectrum of viewpoints and schools of thought. It also introduces several new authors from Europe, including students of Piaget, to the American academic community.
