Introduction to Psychology
by Charles StangorWhen you teach Introduction to Psychology, do you find it difficult — much harder than teaching classes in statistics or research methods? Do you easily give a lecture on the sympathetic nervous system, a lecture on Piaget, and a lecture on social cognition, but struggle with linking these topics together for the student? Do you feel like you are presenting a laundry list of research findings rather than an integrated set of principles and knowledge? Have you wondered how to ensure your course is relevant to your students? If so, then you have something in common with Charles Stangor. Charles Stangor's Introduction to Psychology utilizes the dual theme of behavior and empiricism to make psychology relevant to intro students. Charles wrote this book to help students organize their thinking about psychology at a conceptual level. Five or ten years from now, he does not expect his students to remember the details of most of what he teaches them.
Principles of Macroeconomics v 1.1
by Libby Rittenberg Timothy TregarthenVersion 1.1 boasts improved coverage throughout the text including significant updates to: Chapters 5 (GDP, Price Level Changes, Business Cycles, and Unemployment) Chapter 6 (Measuring Total Output and Income) Chapter 12 (Government and Fiscal Policy) Chapter 17 (Macroeconomics for the 21st Century)
Money and Banking v 1.1
by Robert E. Wright Vincenzo QuadriniVersion 1.1 includes comprehensive figure updates to reflect most current dates and data, and some significant updates to chapter information like: regulatory reform update (Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Protection Act), and newly added suggested readings (based on current research by authors). The financial crisis of 2007-8 has already revolutionized institutions, markets, and regulation. Wright and Quadrini's Money and Banking V1.1 captures those revolutionary changes and packages them in a way that engages undergraduates enrolled in Money and Banking and Financial Institutions and Markets courses.
Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology version 1.2
by John GallaugherInformation Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology V1.2 is intended for use in undergraduate and/or graduate courses in Management Information Systems and Information Technology. Version 1.2 of John's book retains the same structure and theory of version 1.1, but refreshes key statistics, examples, and brings case material up to date (vital when covering firms that move as fast as Facebook, Google, and Netflix). Adopting version 1.2 guarantees your students will have the most current text on the market, drawing real and applicable lessons from material that will keep your class offerings current and accessible.
An Introduction to Compressive Sensing
by Wotao Yin Mona Sheikh Jason LaskaIntroduction to compressive sensing. This course introduces the basic concepts in compressive sensing. We overview the concepts of sparsity, compressibility, and transform coding. We then review applications of sparsity in several signal processing problems such as sparse recovery, model selection, data coding, and error correction. We overview the key results in these fields, focusing primarily on both theory and algorithms for sparse recovery. We also discuss applications of compressive sensing in communications, biosensing, medical imaging, and sensor networks.
