Climatic and Oceanic Influences on Human Ecology
The Module is organised around three parts, namely, Oceanography and Climatology/ Meteorology’. In the third part we shall study Climate Change in some detail – what the research currently tells us, and the intervention of human agency. Each part is broken into several units which build sequentially and progressively, and earlier ones have concepts and content which will be revisited from time-to-time and in increasing complexity. Given the essential connectedness of environmental systems, c

Algebra for quantity surveying students
This is the beginning of a handout suitable for motivating quantity surveying students to study algebra as RICS appears to wants them to do. It is very much work in progress so expansion, correcting and improvement would be most welcome. There is more about this in my FETLAR blog at http://stack.bham.ac.uk/blog/index.php?userid=385&courseid=14 (login needed); I will repeat this blog entry in the JORUM Community Bay some time soon.

WildLinAlg15: Applications of row reduction (Gaussian elimination)
This lecture shows how the three main problems of Linear Algebra can be tackled using the algorithm of row reduction, also called Gaussian elimination. The three main problems are: how to invert a linear change of coordinates, how to compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a square matrix, and how to compute the determinant of a square matrix. Each problem is illustrated with examples.
This is part of a first course in Linear Algebra given by Assoc Prof N J Wildberger of UNSW.

La concezione antropologica del Bruner è profondamente debitrice della tradizione evoluzionistica e del pragmatismo americano. Tale debito non è scontato, e per questo motivo, si approfondiscono tali tradizioni di riferimento, in modo da consentire una corretta contestualizzazione del cosiddetto " strumentalismo evolutivo" cui Bruner lega la sua idea di uomo. Ma questa idea si fa anche progetto in virtù di alcune peculiari caratteristiche - strumentali appunto -, in virtù delle quali si gius
