El lector interesado en conocer cómo se produce el desarrollo humano, cómo se construye el psiquismo, dispone de una abrumadora bibliografía. El profesor Delval, al elaborar esta obra sobre el desarrollo humano, asume la tarea de presentar el tema con encomiable sencillez, con la finalidad de que resulte accesible a aquellas personas que, sin tener conocimientos de la materia, o disponiendo sólo de conocimientos dispersos o fragmentarios, buscan una visión más unitaria: se trata, pues, de una obra válida para los estudiantes que se inician y para un creciente núcleo de lectores interesados por la génesis de las ideas.

Presents basic concepts in physics, covering topics such as kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, gravitation, fluids, sound, heat, thermodynamics, magnetism, nuclear physics, and more, examples, practice questions and problems.

This book provides an invaluable resource for researchers who wish to improve education by bridging students, school, family, and community resources. Based in connecting experiences in and out of school, it suggests a strategy to put students' practices, cultures, and identities in the center of a twenty-first-century education.

For a two-semester or a three-quarter calculus-based Introduction to the Mathematics of Statistics course. This classic, calculus-based introduction to the theory - and application - of statistics provides an unusually comprehensive depth and breadth of coverage and reflects the state-of-the-art in statistical thinking, the teaching of statistics, and current practices - including the use of the computer. *NEW - Places greater emphasis on the use of computers in performing statistical calculations. *NEW - Includes new exercises - many of which require the use of a computer. *NEW - Expands coverage of Analysis of Variance to include the two-way analysis-of-variance model with interaction and a discussion of multiple comparisons. *NEW - Adds appendices which summarize the properties of the special probability distributions and density functions that appear in the text. *Places greater emphasis on the use of computers in performing statistical calculations. *Comprehensive coverage of statistical theories. *Features more than 1,100 problems and exercises - divided into theory and applications.
