Excerpt: Monica Zetterlund (September 20, 1937 May 12, 2005) was a Swedish singer and actress. Born as Monica Nilsson in Hagfors, Värmland, Sweden, Zetterlund was a singer, particularly noted for her jazz work. She began by learning the classic jazz songs from radio and records, initially not knowing the language and what they sang about in English. She went for the melody, rhythm and feeling. Hit songs include "Sakta vi gå genom stan" (Swedish cover of "Walking My Baby Back Home"; in Swedish a tribute to Stockholm town), "Visa från Utanmyra", "Sista jäntan", "Trubbel", "Gröna små äpplen" ("Little Green Apples"), "Monicas vals" ("Waltz for Debby"), "Stick iväg, Jack!" ("Hit the Road Jack"), "Att angöra en brygga", "Var blev ni av", "Måne över Stureplan" (cover on Sting's "Moon Over Bourbon Street") and "Under vinrankan!", among many, many others. She also interpreted the works of many Swedish national singer-songwriters such as Evert Taube, Olle Adolphson and Povel Ramel, and all through her life interpreted the works of international and American jazz musicians/song writers. She worked with some of the greatest international jazz names including Louis Armstrong, Bill Evans, Stan Getz, Steve Kuhn and Quincy Jones, and in the Scandinavian jazz world with people like Georg Riedel, Egil Johansen, Arne Domnérus, Svend Asmussen and Jan Johansson. In 1964 she recorded the critically acclaimed jazz album Waltz for Debby with Bill Evans, a record she herself described as "the best I've done" and was most proud of. Her long career also included the song "En gång i... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1882145 ... Read more

Product Description
Beginning Algebra, 7/e by Baratto/Bergman is part of the latest offerings in the successful Streeter-Hutchison Series in Mathematics. The seventh edition continues the hallmark approach of encouraging the learning of mathematics by focusing its coverage on mastering math through practice. This worktext seeks to provide carefully detailed explanations and accessible pedagogy to introduce basic algebra skills and put the content in context. The authors use a three-pronged approach (I. Communication, II. Pattern Recognition, and III. Problem Solving) to present the material and stimulate critical thinking skills. Items such as Math Anxiety boxes, Check Yourself exercises, and Activities represent this approach and the underlying philosophy of mastering math through practice. The exercise sets have been expanded, organized, and clearly labeled. Vocational and professional-technical exercises have been added throughout. Repeated exposure to this consistent structure should help advance the student’s skills in relating to mathematics. The book is designed for a one-semester beginning algebra course and is appropriate for lecture, learning center, laboratory, or self-paced courses. It is accompanied by numerous useful supplements, including McGraw-Hill’s online homework management system, MathZone. ... Read more

beginning algebra textbook
received book via mail very quickly and was in great condition. extremely pleased with my online purchase of used textbook.

Solutions Manual only!
Be careful - this is only the student's solutions manual and NOT the textbook.

The total revision of chapter 5, improves the 4th Edition.
The complete revision of Chapter 5, Factoring Polynomials greatly enhancesthe students ability to understand factoring by grouping.It is a fareasier process than the trial and error in previous editions.The graphicsare also greatly improved, but the visibility of the check yourselfexercises, found in the chapters, has been absurdly diminished!-1 starfor that error in judgement! ...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In functional analysis (a branch of mathematics), a reproducing kernel Hilbert space is a Hilbert space of functions in which pointwise evaluation is a continuous linear functional. Equivalently, they are spaces that can be defined by reproducing kernels. The subject was originally and simultaneously developed by Nachman Aronszajn (1907?1980) and Stefan Bergman (1895?1977) in 1950.In this article we assume that Hilbert spaces are complex. The main reason for this is that many of the examples of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces are spaces of analytic functions, although some real Hilbert spaces also have reproducing kernels. An important subset of the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces are the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces associated to a continuous kernel. These spaces have wide applications, including complex analysis, quantum mechanics and harmonic analysis. ... Read more
