The text is based on an established graduate course given at MIT that provides an introduction to the theory of the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation and its applications, which is an important area in representation theory and quantum groups. The book, which contains many detailed proofs and explicit calculations, will be accessible to graduate students of mathematics, who are familiar with the basics of representation theory of semi-simple Lie algebras.

Fatima invites her friends to visit her sister and brother–in–law, Selime and Ahmed. The girls sense something suspicious when Ahmed's father becomes deathly ill, and then Ahmed goes missing. Ahmed's cousin Yusuf just might be to blame, but it's up to the princesses to solve this mystery.

Vampires versus Zombies, round one . . .
Vampire detective Felix Gomez has seen a lot of weird things since becoming one of the undead—nymphomaniacs, aliens, and X-rated bloodsuckers, just to name a few—but now he comes face-to-face with the worst sort of undead.
To stop a ravenous army of zombies, Gomez must team up with a precocious teen with clairvoyant powers whose cooperation comes at a price: she won't help unless Felix makes her a vampire . . . if the zombies don't get her first

This is the only introduction you'll need to start programming in R, the open-source language that is free to download, and lets you adapt the source code for your own requirements. Co-written by one of the R Core Development Team, and by an established R author, this book comes with real R code that complies with the standards of the language. Unlike other introductory books on the ground-breaking R system, this book emphasizes programming, including the principles that apply to most computing languages, and techniques used to develop more complex projects. Learning the language is made easier by the frequent exercises and end-of-chapter reviews that help you progress confidently through the book. Solutions, datasets and any errata will be available from the book's web site. The many examples, all from real applications, make it particularly useful for anyone working in practical data analysis.

Communications and learning in the electronic environment are examined in this work. Many of the problems associated with the newness of e-learning are addressed and juxtaposed to the diverse approaches to e-learning adopted by the academic, government, corporate, and community sectors. The argument that education is the fundamental purpose of e-learning is made, calling for an emphasis on human interaction rather than end goals. Organizations are advised to develop a clear rationale for adopting e-learning that takes into account the benefits and limitations of e-learning and focuses on process, not technology.
