After repeated beatings, which started when I was in Kindergarten, I learned two certainties in life: I was worthless and I was unlovable. These beliefs permeated every aspect of my life from my family, to the classroom, and on to the basketball court. It followed me beyond school into my professional life, and even my new family, I became BLIND to the value that was in me, and the value that I could truly add to the world around me. Jim Rohn said, "It is more important to work harder on yourself, than you do on your job." IV4S reveals my journey as I worked to shine a light through the blindness of my value both inside and out of the classroom. The journey has uncovered one of the greatest truths the world has ever known. First and foremost, I am INFINITELY VALUABLE. The second discovery is the fact that there is an INFINITE amount of VALUE that I can add to the world around me. As a student and professional, I believed that my value was conditional. If I did well on a test, my value increased by 1 point. But if I had a bad basketball game, it decreased by 1,378 points. In a professional setting, you are only as good as your last sale or accomplishment. Fortunately, my journey revealed the reality that my value isn't conditional or static, but it is accumulating. As humans, we are the summation of all of our life experiences. It is that ever increasing minute by minute, second by second total that ultimately calculates your True Market Value. Once I was able to correctly calculate my Inherent Value, I was then able to more clearly decide what type of value that I would like to add to the marketplace and society. During my blindness, I could only see the value that I could add to someone else's company, through telling their story. The journey you are about to read is the First revelation of the Infinite amount of Value that I will add to the marketplace through telling my story and sharing my talents. When you choose to read this book in its entirety, I promise you that you will have a mirror to see both your Inherent Value and the Value that you will be able to add to the world around you. (Spoiler Alert: They are Both INFINITE!). You will be provided with tools and resources that I didn't have when I was a kid and student that will aid you uncovering your True Value even sooner. (It took me over 30 years). I could tell you to read this book to benefit yourself, but that would be too finite. You should read this book for the thousands upon thousands of people that your life will add Value to once you do. Another important reality that I learned on this journey is "It's not ONLY about me!" If it was only about me, then the tough times that I went through would really suck (not that it didn't hurt at the time, because it did). There are lives that I will be able to add value to, because I went through my beatings. And that is why I write. There are thousands of lives around this planet right now that are waiting to be helped by your experiences. My journey can show you a path to be able to reach the people you are supposed to add your INFINITE VALUE to.

Jesus Christ did not die on the cross so you and I could have a nice day. Ministers and teachers who water down the gospel of Christ in order to make it more popular and appealing may be leading their fun-loving audiences down the road to eternal punishment. This book is John MacArthur's unflinching, unapologetic treatise on the modern tendency to alter the true message of Christianity in order to meet the whims and desires of a culture hoping for nonconfrontational messages, easy answers, and superficial commitments. Too many people just want a Madison Avenue Jesus to make them well, make them happy, and make them prosperous. But Jesus Christ isn't a personal genie. He is the Savior. He died in agony to satisfy the wrath of a holy God and to forgive the sins of humankind. Faith in Him demands a willingness to make any sacrifice He asks. The hard truth about Christianity is that the cost is high, but the rewards are priceless: abundant and eternal life that comes only from faithfully follwing Christ.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, a bold framework for leadership in today’s ever-changing world. How do we win a game that has no end? Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers—only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new book, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset. On one hand, none of us can resist the fleeting thrills of a promotion earned or a tournament won, yet these rewards fade quickly. In pursuit of a Just Cause, we will commit to a vision of a future world so appealing that we will build it week after week, month after month, year after year. Although we do not know the exact form this world will take, working toward it gives our work and our life meaning. Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Ultimately, they are the ones who lead us into the future.

This volume collects most recent work on the role of technology in mathematics education. It offers fresh insight and understanding of the many ways in which technological resources can improve the teaching and learning of mathematics. The first section of the volume focuses on the question how a proposed mathematical task in a technological environment can influence the acquisition of knowledge and what elements are important to retain in the design of mathematical tasks in computing environments. The use of white smart boards, platforms as Moodle, tablets and smartphones have transformed the way we communicate both inside and outside the mathematics classroom. Therefore the second section discussed how to make efficient use of these resources in the classroom and beyond. The third section addresses how technology modifies the way information is transmitted and how mathematical education has to take into account the new ways of learning through connected networks as well as new ways of teaching. The last section is on the training of teachers in the digital era. The editors of this volume have selected papers from the proceedings of the 65th, 66th and 67th CIEAEM conference, and invited the correspondent authors to contribute to this volume by discussing one of the four important topics. The book continues a series of sourcebooks edited by CIEAEM, the Commission Internationale pour l’Étude et l’Amélioration de l’Enseignement des Mathématiques / International Commission for the Study and Improvement of Mathematics Education.

What is infinity? Explore this fascinating and complex math concept and its purpose in our world in this picture book that both demystifies and explains. Perfect for kids who grew up on Baby University books like Quantum Physics for Babies. Defining infinity is difficult. But there is one thing people do every day that leads to infinity—counting. No matter what large number you name, there is always a larger number. By reading this book, kids can begin to think about this and other powerful ideas involving infinity, including how infinity relates to rocket science. Featuring clear text and beautiful photographs, this is an excellent choice for kids who want to delve deeper into math and science and for those ready to look at the world in a new way.

This book would be useful in all bridging and introductory mathematics courses for business students.
