The variety of applications can appeal to a broad range of students. Additionally, students can learn mathematics through playing games, something many choose to do in their spare time! This text also includes an exploration of the ideas of game theory through the rich context of popular culture. It contains sections on applications of the concepts to popular culture. It suggests films, television shows, and novels with themes from game theory. The questions in each of these sections are intended to serve as essay prompts for writing assignments.

It provides a framework to reflect on the ethics and risks of new technologies. How can we make sure that innovations do justice to social and ethical values? How can we minimize (unknown)risks?The book explains: The concept and importance of responsible innovation for society Key ethical concepts and considerations to analyse the risks of new technologies Different types of innovation (e.g. radical, niche, incremental, frugal) Roadmap for Responsible Innovation by Industry The concept of Value Sensitive Design (VSD) It includes a link to all the web lectures as well as case studies ranging from care robots and nuclear energy to Artificial Intelligence and self-driving vehicles.7832019-10-13T15:53:57Z2024-01-22T14:52:05ZBe Credible<img alt="Read more about Be Credible" title="Be Credible cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzQyLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--85d0b8ac1d0cf40e61b9db12e16bec65113b290e/978-1-936153-12-1.jpg" />The primary audience for this book starts with students in Journalism 302: Infomania, a course we teach at the University of Kansas. When they take this class, these students usually are in their second or third semesters in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications. They have varied career aspirations. A few of them want to be “traditional” journalists, writing for online news sites, magazines, or newspapers. Some of them want to be broadcast journalists. Many of them want to work in strategic communications, which encompasses public relations, advertising, marketing, and related fields.7822019-10-12T18:16:38Z2024-03-27T15:53:28ZSharing Our Knowledge: Best Practices for Supporting English Language Learners in Schools<img alt="Read more about Sharing Our Knowledge: Best Practices for Supporting English Language Learners in Schools" title="Sharing Our Knowledge: Best Practices for Supporting English Language Learners in Schools cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzQxLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--0591c2a40ec6032c5d195a9eaf6781177fc8cac5/0000ShaKnoEng.jpg" />To complete the course ECUR 415.3: Current Issues in EAL, students are required to submit a final paper that reflects their growing knowledge about English as an Additional Language (EAL). EAL is the term used in Saskatchewan to describe students who speak languages other than English and require adequate levels of English to be successful with the school curriculum. Most students enrolled in the online course ECUR 415 are practicing teachers who are working toward a Post-Degree Certificate in EAL Education (PDCEAL), while continuing to live and work in various locations both within and outside of the province. The certificate program, offered through the College of Education, University of Saskatchewan, is recognized by provincial education authorities as being equivalent to one full year of post-degree study. As such, the certificate equips teachers with the knowledge and expertise to be considered teacher-specialists of EAL Education. The course ECUR 415 also attracts some pre-service teachers who are pursuing a Bachelor of Education degree and have an interest in EAL Education.7812019-10-12T18:04:39Z2024-02-05T14:13:43ZProblem Solving in Teams and Groups - 2<img alt="Read more about Problem Solving in Teams and Groups - 2" title="Problem Solving in Teams and Groups - 2 cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzQwLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--2a62f7600b57d8856f11b3fd2c269cbf51703e51/0000ProSolGro.jpg" />This textbook covers content relevant to COMS342 Problem Solving in Teams and Groups at the University of Kansas.7802019-10-12T17:54:05Z2024-01-22T14:52:05ZMultivariable Calculus<img alt="Read more about Multivariable Calculus" title="Multivariable Calculus cover image" class="cover " width="760" height="986" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzM5LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--72d8691db19325f0b8925daeafd35b6ddb1ebd43/0000MulvarCal.png" />This book covers the standard material for a one-semester course in multivariable calculus. The topics include curves, differentiability and partial derivatives, multiple integrals, vector fields, line and surface integrals, and the theorems of Green, Stokes, and Gauss. Roughly speaking the book is organized into three main parts corresponding to the type of function being studied: vector-valued functions of one variable, real-valued functions of many variables, and finally the general case of vector-valued functions of many variables. As is always the case, the most productive way for students to learn is by doing problems, and the book is written to get to the exercises as quickly as possible. The presentation is geared towards students who enjoy learning mathematics for its own sake. As a result, there is a priority placed on understanding why things are true and a recognition that, when details are sketched or omitted, that should be acknowledged. Otherwise the level of rigor is fairly normal. Matrices are introduced and used freely. Prior experience with linear algebra is helpful, but not required.7782019-10-05T15:33:17Z2024-02-12T14:12:10ZThe American Yawp Vol. II: Since 1877<img alt="Read more about The American Yawp Vol. II: Since 1877" title="The American Yawp Vol. II: Since 1877 cover image" class="cover " width="420" height="600" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Mzc1NywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--022c519f05eafa89fb7dcafbcd908cd179b21043/yawp-2.jpeg" />In an increasingly digital world in which pedagogical trends are de-emphasizing rote learning and professors are increasingly turning toward active-learning exercises, scholars are fleeing traditional textbooks.
