The Evolution of Modern Mathematics: The Lives of Influential Mathematicians Who Helped Bring Math i

In the last 50 years, life has been simplified by the awe-inspiring advancements that have been achieved in the world of computer science and technology. In 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak unveiled the Apple I, the first-ever computer that operated on a single-circuit board, just five years after a team of IBM engineers introduced the “floppy disk,” which revolutionized data-sharing. In 1981, the first personal computer – IBM's Acorn – equipped with an optional color monitor, two floppy disks, and an intel chip was rolled out to the masses, and the dynamic evolution of the World Wide Web soon followed. Today, the world is in the midst of the transformative and ever-developing Digital Age, otherwise referred to as the “Age of Information.” It has been an unprecedented, remarkable, and explosive era marked by social media and computer-generated imagery (and with it, deep fakes), among other novel, previously unimaginable concepts. The bulky monitors and blocky towers of personal computers and laptops, which were once upon a time considered fashionable, futuristic contraptions, have since been replaced with a sleek and stylish array – both multi-functional and specialized – of aerodynamic, minimalistic devices, ranging from smartphones and tablets to lightweight laptops and full-fledged gaming set-ups packed with powerhouse processors. This new age was brought forth in large measure by the different works of scientists and mathematicians spanning several centuries, from Blaise Pascal's work on calculators to Charles Babbage's Difference Engine and Alan Turing's groundbreaking cryptography work.

Product management has become a critical function for modern organizations, from small startups to corporate enterprises.

In this thoroughly revised and expanded edition, Matt LeMay provides real-world guidance for current and aspiring product managers. Updated for the era of remote and hybrid work, this book provides actionable answers to product management's most persistent and confounding questions, starting with: What exactly am I supposed to do all day? With this book, you'll learn what the day-to-day work of product management entails-and how to excel at it; why no job title or description will resolve the ambiguity of your role; how to bridge the false dichotomy between 'strategy' and 'execution'; why the temptation to focus on decks and documentation can be bad for your team (and for you); and how to prioritize your time and pick your battles.

Bienvenido a Algoritmos de Grokking: Métodos Avanzados para Aprender y Utilizar Algoritmos de Grokking y Estructuras de Datos para Programación. Incluso antes de la concepción del propio ordenador, ya existían algoritmos. Después de la introducción del ordenador y con todo el desarrollo que siguió, el número de algoritmos existentes creció cada vez más. A estas alturas, no sería erróneo decir que los algoritmos son el núcleo de lo que la informática actual es capaz de hacer. El libro Algoritmos de Grokking ofrece una introducción muy completa e interesante al mundo de los algoritmos informáticos. Veremos muchos algoritmos y sus usos, e incluso aprenderemos a manipularlos paso a paso. Aunque el libro está dirigido a un público con un nivel de conocimientos más avanzado, hemos intentado transmitir la mayoría de las explicaciones y conocimientos contenidos en el libro de una manera sencilla para que sea más fácil de entender. Hemos tratado múltiples algoritmos y estructuras de datos a lo largo del libro. Los algoritmos están expuestos en pseudocódigo (que es más parecido al inglés que a la programación) y pueden ser leídos B 2 por cualquier persona con un nivel básico de conocimientos de programación. Por último, nos gustaría agradecerle que haya elegido ç Métodos Avanzados para Aprender y Utilizar Algoritmos de Grokking y Estructuras de Datos para Programación, ¡y le damos la bienvenida a Algoritmos de Grokking!

No se puede negar el encanto de tener la capacidad de leer lo ilegible y resolver cuestiones que la mayoría de la gente no puede ni siquiera empezar a comprender. Es un trabajo que a mucha gente le puede resultar tedioso, pero no se puede negar su encanto. Hay que admitir que es impresionante. Puede que tengas la apariencia de un codificador, pero eres muy consciente de que esto es sólo la punta del iceberg. Eres un pionero de las nuevas ideas y eres creativo. Eres esencialmente responsable de desarrollar programas y software, que son utilizados por muchas personas en este mundo. Todo, desde los videojuegos hasta los vehículos autónomos, desde Angry Birds hasta PUBG, es el resultado de alguien como tú que se sienta ante un ordenador y escribe el código. Aunque muchas personas deciden cursar carreras relevantes, en gran parte porque tienen la posibilidad de hacerlo, algunos de nosotros ya hemos completado nuestro paso por el colegio o la universidad. La gran mayoría de nosotros simplemente no tiene C 2 tiempo para asistir a las clases, y mucho menos para hacerlo de forma continuada durante períodos de tres a cuatro años. Por ello, la mayoría de nosotros intentamos reprimir nuestro entusiasmo y enterrarlo en lo más profundo de nuestro ser. Lamento informarles de que no es así.

[Spanish] - UX: Método Avanzado y Soluciones Prácticas para el Éxito en el Diseño de Productos.

El nombre, la página web o el logotipo de su compañía no son el punto final de la imagen de marca. Si bien es cierto que son componentes importantes de su plan de marketing, es muy dudoso que tengan mucho efecto si su producto no tiene éxito en el mercado. Su producto, junto con su envase, debe tener una apariencia bien diseñada para que tenga éxito en el mercado en el que compite. La primera impresión que tiene el comprador de su mercancía suele ser el envase del producto, y un número significativo de personas basan sus decisiones de compra únicamente en la apariencia del producto. Esto es especialmente cierto en situaciones en las que el consumidor tiene varias opciones diferentes entre las que elegir. La mayoría de las veces, ustedes, como habitantes del Primer Mundo, tienen una plétora de opciones a su disposición. Para convencer a los consumidores de que elijan su producto en lugar del de la competencia, debe considerar cuidadosamente el propósito y la ejecución del diseño del envase.
