Emerging Perspectives on Learning, Teaching, and Technology
I started this book in 2001 with a core group of doctoral students. The initial version included 12 chapters with no animations and very few images. Each semester, I ask my current students who are using this book as their required text in my class to improve on the book by either making animations, recorded presentations, graphics, editing, or various other contributions (there is no such thing as a completely free book!). It has been in HTML until May 2007 when we converted it to this Wiki. I

Power versus the Market Equation of a Circle The Arts and Humanities. Professor Stefan Collini
<img src="http://mises.org/Controls/Media/DocumentImage.ashx?Id=6175" vspace="4" hspace="4" style="margin: 10px;" /><br />
A circle can't be represented by a function, as proved by the vertical line test. This video explains how we can obtain an equation that describes the full circle by using the distance formula between the given center coordinates and any point along the circumference of the circle. Once we have derived this equation of a circle, we can apply it to any other circle you may come across in a coordinate plane. (2:33)
On 25 February 2011, a group of eminent researchers who work in arts and humanities disciplines in universities around the UK gathered in Cambridge for a conference called "The Arts and Humanities: Endangered Species?"
