Technology has become an indispensable aspect of most mathematics education. This is a full-color textbook, abundant with graphics, algorithms, and assignments, that both introduces Sage, a free, open-source computer algebra system, and reinforces important mathematical ideas of undergraduate mathematics, including some that a transitioning student will not yet have seen. This book should be useful for any situation where an individual is moving from "high school" mathematics, in which we include basic calculus, to "university" mathematics, which includes intermediate calculus and a lot of...

It begins with a review of the labour process literature which demonstrates the extent to which the independence of Braverman’s model on scientific management was undermined in the post-Braverman debate. The radical texts' orthodox Bravermanian...

First published in 1992, this volume responds to the importance of management has been increasingly recognized in the personal social services but this recognition has materialized more slowly in some social day care settings.

Newly-promoted managers in social care settings are all too often ill-equipped for the problems and possibilities offered by their move to a management position. As a...
