Not Impossible!: How Our Universe May Exist Inside of a Computer

Posted by on Saturday, 30 April, 2011

Does our universe exist inside of a computer? Have the strange phenomena of quantum physics finally been explained? Not IMPOSSIBLE! demonstrates that the surprising answer may be Yes!pBut the material world is real we insist, knocking on wood. How can this all be just information inside of a computer? Surely that’s impossible!pClimb aboard as computer science and AI researcher, G. Wells Hanson, takes us on the seemingly impossible journey from our universe, into the depths of a computerized universe. As you ride, your fingers are pried loose from your current ideas of reality. Watch as your material world slowly begins to fade. You will travel through the machinery of the worlds of human thinking, quantum reality, the brain, and the mind. Finally, you enter a universe programmed within a computer, where the strange phenomena that appear there provides an explanation for the mysterious quantum physics that has puzzled humankind for a century.pShaun Holmes, MA, and high school math teacher, describes the book as …an intellectual thrill-ride that takes us from our everyday world, to a place where I question my very existence…and there’s no going back! I think it really has the potential to stir the pot.

Count Down: The Race for Beautiful Solutions at the International Math

Posted by on Thursday, 28 April, 2011

DIVDIVEach summer, hundreds of seemingly average teens from around the world gather for the International Mathematical Olympiad, a chance to race the clock and one another in the quest for elegant mathematical solutions. In Count Down, the National Book Award finalist Steve Olson sets out to crack the secret of what makes these students such nimble problem solvers. He follows the six U.S. contestants from their free-time games of Ultimate Frisbee to the high-pressure rounds of the competition. In each he finds a potent mix of inspiration, insight, competitiveness, talent, creativity, experience, and, perhaps most important, an enduring sense of wonder. As he observes the Olympians, Olson delves into common questions about math culture and education, exploring why many American students dread geometry, why so few girls pursue competitive math, and whether each of us might have a bit of genius waiting to be nurtured./DIVDIVDIVKeywords:
