I loved, loved, loved this book! Narrator Sarah, a Harvard MBA and vice president at a consulting firm, works crazy hours, multitasking every moment, trying to fit everything into her life. Then in the blink of an eye, she loses half of everything--the left half--and then finds that, in many ways, her traumatic brain injury adds value to her life instead of diminishing it. This is a really fascinating portrayal of a character with Hemispatial Neglect (or Left Neglect), by an author with a PhD in neuroscience.

What a fascinating story! It's also a way to learn about contemporary mathematicians and to learn a little (very accessible) mathematics along the way!

This book was the most enjoyable Regency Romance I've read--original and always interesting. Twice as good as any Marion Chesney!

This is the instructor's manual to accompany "Readings for Writers" which is a good book for AP Language and Composition students. Contains answers to questions in the reader.

This book basically picks up where the TI-83 Guidebook leaves off. The 83 book has lots more examples, and if you need those like I do, you'll want to have both books on hand, even if you're using only the TI-84.

Very, very helpful!

Unfortunately, this book is likely to lead to as many misconceptions as it is revelations about probability.
The first problem is that the author seems to think probability and odds are synonymous. The second problem is that, although the character recognizes on page 13 that the probability of getting a particular sock changes as other socks are removed from the drawer, he completely forgets that when applying that principle to marbles on page 19. Because there are 16 possible outcomes when drawing two marbles from a bag of marbles containing 25 of each of four colors, he says the probability of getting two white marbles is 1/16, when in fact it is (25/100)(24/99). The probability of each of the 16 possible outcomes is not equal. (It would be even more unequal if the numbers of marbles were not the same for each color, but that does not come up, and when he goes on to examine a box of cereal with five different animal shapes, he makes the (dangerous) assumption that there are the same number of each shape in the box.

Makes a lot of good points about the need to stay hydrated and the ill effects of not doing so. My migraines have virtually disappeared since I started heeding his advice.
