Whether we are worried about the spread of COVID-19 or making a corporate budget, we depend on mathematical models to help us understand the world around us every day. But models aren’t a mirror of reality. In fact, they are fantasies, where everything works out perfectly, every time. And relying on them too heavily can hurt us. In Escape from Model Land, statistician Erica Thompson illuminates the hidden dangers of models. 

My formula sheets and crash course resources are designed to assist college students throughout their STEM degree. I have isolated all of the most important information from all previous courses, current courses, and future courses that STEM majors must take.

All of the most common equations, formulas, and solutions from algebra, trigonometry, calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations.

Our universe has multiple origin stories, from religious creation myths to the Big Bang of scientists. But if we leave those behind and start from nothing—no matter, no cosmos, not even empty space—could we create a universe using only math? Irreverent and boundlessly creative, The Big Bang of Numbers invites us to try.

Models are at the centre of everything we do. They act as metaphors that help us better understand the increasingly complex problems facing us in the modern world. Yet in recent years, the validity of the models we use has been hotly debated and there has been renewed awareness of the disastrous consequences when the makers and interpreters of models get things wrong. Drawing on contemporary examples from finance, climate and health policy, Erica Thompson explores what models are, why we need them, how they work and what happens when they go wrong. 

My formula books are designed to flow with a modern college course from start to finish. The student may use this material as a quick reference throughout the course or as a review for future courses. The material also serves as a quick refresher for students returning to school or preparing for graduate school exams.

Cheat sheets and other books by the WeSolveThem.com Team are designed for the modern college student. We focus on the material that is actually in the courses, give pointers and tips, and provide thousands of resources.

The study of geometry is at least 2500 years old, and it is within this field that the concept of mathematical proof first arose. To this day geometry remains a very active area of research in mathematics. This Very Short Introduction covers the areas of mathematics falling under geometry, starting with topics such as Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, and ranging to curved spaces, projective geometry in Renaissance art, and geometry of space-time inside a black hole. Throughout, Maciej Dunajski outlines the role geometry plays in the broader context of science and art.

All of the most common equations, theorems, formulas, and more from differential calculus or calculus I. A beautiful reference sheet for any student at any point in their educational career.
