Algebra for College Students, 9th Edition

Kaufmann and Schwitters have built this text’s reputation on clear and concise exposition, numerous examples, and plentiful problem sets. This traditional text consistently reinforces the following common thread: learn a skill; practice the skill to help solve equations; and then apply what you have learned to solve application problems. This simple, straightforward approach has helped many students grasp and apply fundamental problem solving skills necessary for future mathematics courses. Algebraic ideas are developed in a logical sequence, and in an easy-to-read manner, without excessive vocabulary and formalism. The open and uncluttered design helps keep students focused on the concepts while minimizing distractions. Problems and examples reference a broad range of topics, as well as career areas such as electronics, mechanics, and health, showing students that mathematics is part of everyday life. The text’s resource package–anchored by Enhanced WebAssign, an online homework management tool–saves instructors time while also providing additional help and skill-building practice for students outside of class.

40 Creative Typography Highlight Fonts

Typography is performed by typesetters, compositors, typographers, graphic designers, art directors, comic book artists, graffiti artists, clerical workers, and anyone else who arranges type for a product. Until the Digital Age, typography was a specialized occupation. Digitization opened up typography to new generations of visual designers and lay users. According to David Jury, "Typography is now something everybody does.

Typography has successfully passed the test, and today it is even difficult to define what is prevailing in modern typography: pre-defined technology or free art. Typography can exist on its own, but very often modern designers implant font elements into other forms of arts, such as photography or illustrations. As the results, I have true masterpieces of modern graphic art to enjoy, such as those presented in the showcase below.

Worms 3D - Multi5

PC Game - Worms 3D [Multi5]
English | Platform: PC | Release: 2003 | Publisher: Sega | Developer: Sega | 932 MB
Genre: Strategy

Worms 3D is an artillery game in the Worms series. It was developed by Team17. The game was the first in the series to be in 3D and also featured several new weapons. Additionally, some of the weapons operations are substantially different from previous Worms titles. And while it is rated T by the ESRB, which is a first for the series, it is rated 3+ by PEGI, which is also a first for the series. (Before, the games were rated 7+ or 12+) It is unknown why the ESRB chose the higher rating while PEGI chose the 3+ rating.

Thetitle of Team 17 is, by its very nature, a turn-based strategy game, inwhich many comic play the role of earthworms on the capacities of themilitary.The annelids are able to move on the battlefield, looking forthe most suitable location for the use of numerous weapons at theirdisposal. Being mostly of throwing explosive devices, the ballisticaspect is crucial for the victory, as each player must consider theangle and power and, last but not least, the direction and strength ofthe wind, before to throw your shot. So far, the general discourse onWorms series, which, in principle, that is also present here for the 3Depisode.

The contribution of the third dimension, however, opens upnew frontiers to the ability of worms. Those who originally held thefunction of simple two-dimensional markers have become real soldiers,capable of moving at 360 degrees through the scenario, executing jumps(even double) and using an arsenal worthy of a superpower (not the last nuclear attack!).

Both movements on the battlefield, both thepointing of weapons, are controlled by the combination of mouse andkeyboard. It is a system that, initially, may give rise to some problemsof orientation, but after a few hours of play proves to be moreefficient and intuitive control of the gamepad on the console versions.This proves, if proof were still needed, that Worms (specifically 3D) isa title which, when allowed, must absolutely be tried on a PC.

Enteringthe merits, the first striking element is the amount of options andgame modes. Every aspect of the battle can be changed at will, both forthe single-player campaign, both in the multiplayer. This mode is, ineffect, the backbone of the Worms series. It must be said that thedifferent skill levels of Artificial Intelligence to perform their jobduties, but to challenge three friends on the same computer is not anopportunity to miss.
