Computer graphics and computational geometry address the generation of images. The fields of cryptography and computer security involve studying the means for secure communication and for preventing security vulnerabilities. The theory of computation concerns abstract models of computation and general classes of problems that can be solved using them. Īlgorithms and data structures are central to computer science. Though more often considered an academic discipline, computer science is closely related to computer programming. Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software). Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. Not your perfect mexican daughter5/10/2023 Julia also tries to consult Angie, Olga's best friend, though Angie is hesitant to open up to her. Julia attempts to visit the Continental Hotel to find out more, but the concierge is unable to help her. When Amá finds Julia in the morning, she chastises her daughter and grounds her. She frantically searches for more clues, but she falls asleep mid-pursuit. After snooping around in Olga's closet, Julia finds lingerie and a hotel room key. Against her mother's wishes, she enters her sister's room in hopes of finding clues. Julia suspects that Olga had a secret life. Julia understands that this is her mother's forced attempt to cope with her own grief. Following Olga's death, Amá is enthusiastic about throwing Julia a quinceañera, a traditional Mexican ceremony for a girl’s fifteenth birthday. Julia, a first-generation Mexican immigrant living in an impoverished neighborhood in Chicago, is left alone at home with Amá (her mother) and Apá (her father). Julia reflects on Olga’s demure nature, and she calls Olga the “perfect Mexican daughter.” Olga's personality is a strong contrast to Julia's bold, independent nature.

The novel opens as Julia Reyes, the story’s young narrator and protagonist, attends the funeral of her older sister. Anno's Counting Book by Mitsumasa Anno5/10/2023 Just as our forebears developed our number system from observing the order of nature, the reader is subtly led to see and understand the real meaning of numbers.Look at this book and look again. But the seemingly simple plan of the book is deceptive: look more carefully and you will see one-to-one correspondences groups and sets scales and tabulations changes over time periods and many other mathematical relationships as they occur in natural, everyday living. Gentle watercolor pictures show a landscape changing through the various times of day and the turning seasons, months and years, and the activities of the people and animals who come to live there. As they try to bring sense and order into what they observe, they are actually performing basic mathematical feats.In this book, Mitsumasa Anno, the creator of the brilliantly inventive Anno's Alphabet, invites young readers on another stimulating adventure of the imagination-this time into the world of numbers and counting. Children start to count long before they learn their ABC's, for they are constantly comparing and classifying things and events they observe around them. Annotation: Every child is a natural mathematician, according to Mitsumasa Anno. Sherman alexie the lone ranger and tonto5/10/2023

Batman haunted knight5/9/2023 It doesn’t work.īruce has a gala which he makes an appearance, during that time Crane manages to use his feargas while being detained. There’s a short scene where Gordon finds Batman apprehending Scarecrow. The Legends of the Dark Knight as always more focused on the ‘dark’ aspect of Batman. It doesn’t detract from the experience however as Tim Sale always had a way to make the most of the lack of colour and made the whole scene darker. The artwork’s dated which is to be expected from an early nineties book, it’s hard to say if I was reading this when it came out if I would be saying the same thing. Being so early in his career and without a partner at this time this happened a lot. He tracks him down and prepares to take him in while commenting on his lack of sleep. At first they plan to try and take him on before being pounded mercilessly by the Batman. It doesn’t take long for some action to start as Bruce raids a potential meet up of thugs waiting for Jonathan Crane. Of course, it wouldn’t be Halloween without the character who’s caused so many nightmares to its citizens. Jeph sets the tone as he describes what Halloween means to different cities in America including what it means in Gotham City which is “All Hell breaks loose” accompanied by an image of the Scarecrow riding on horseback.
