A Guide to Aerial Photo Interpretation by Jack Hagerty Pdf

This book is all about Photo Interpretation (PI). However, it's not about the esthetic qualities of photographs, nice as they may be. PI is a quantitative analysis of a photo where you measure things and do some calculations to derive all kinds of valuable information, stuff you probably didn’t realize you can get off of even the simplest photos. Before getting into the calculations there's a brief review of the history of taking photos from above followed by a much more complete history of cameras designed for model rockets. If you're not up-to-date on your trigonometry basics, there's a helpful primer at the end in Appendix A. Finally, Ted Mahler tells a story of how hard it is to actually take a photo of a specific target from a model rocket as a report on his "Target Photography" Fun Event at NARAM 36.

Up Your Score: ACT, 2016-2017 Edition by Chris Arp,Ava Chen,Jon Fish,Zack Swafford,Devon Kerr,Veritas Tutors and Test Prep Pdf

It’s the ACT’s turn. No longer considered a “regional” test and accepted at all four-year colleges throughout the United States, it’s the most popular college admissions test in the country. More than 1.8 million students from the class of 2013 took it. Now updated to address the changes planned for the ACT in 2015, Up Your Score: ACT is the test prep and survival guide that kids will actually want to use. Written by Chris Arp, a Princeton graduate and top ACT tutor— with the help of four students who aced the test (and went on to the colleges of their choice)—it’s a true insider’s guide, filled with effective strategies and tips, delivered with the attitude, smarts, and wit that make Up Your Score the best-selling alternative test prep series in print. Beginning in 2015, the ACT will include more layers in its scoring (including separate STEM, English language arts, and “progress toward career readiness” sub-scores); in some places it will be administered digitally (and those tests will include optional “constructed-response” questions, in which students will have to come up with the answers, not select among multiple choices); and the essay will be less open ended, requiring more analysis. In addition to addressing these changes, the book explains how to crush the reading section by developing the Five Habits of Lean Forward Reading. Master the math section through techniques like “plugging in,”?an amazing trick that simplifies all algebra word problems. Annihilate the English section by absorbing six key punctuation and eight essential grammar rules. And sail through the science section by understanding that it actually tests reasoning. Plus there is an ACT fitness regime, tongue-in-cheek fashion and beauty tips, and a recipe for energy-boosting GameFace Quintuple Sugar Blast Bars. Good luck finding that in any other test prep book.

Megan's school exams by Owen Jones Pdf

It is exam time for Megan, our psychic teenager, and she is very nervous, because she has never sat a real exam before. Both Grrr, her ghost tiger, and her father try to calm her, but she is making herself ill with worry. How ever will she get over this? Eventually, her father tells her a story about a family trait, and Megan relaxes enough to sit her exams. The Psychic Megan Series consists of twenty-three novelettes about a young girl's growing realisation that she is able to do things that none of her family can. Megan is twelve years old in the first volume. She has two seemingly insurmountable problems. Her mother is frightened of her daughter's latent abilities and not only will not help her but actively discourages her; and she can’t find a teacher to help her develop her supernatural, psychic powers. For she wants not only to know what it is possible to do and how to do it, but to what end she should put her special abilities. Megan is a good girl, so it would seem obvious that she would tend towards using her powers for good, but it is not always easy to do the right thing even if you know what that is. These stories about Megan will appeal to anyone who has an interest in psychic powers, the supernatural and the paranormal and is between the ages of ten and a hundred years old. It is exam time for Megan, our psychic teenager, and she is very nervous, because she has never sat a real exam before. Both Grrr, her ghost tiger, and her father try to calm her, but she is making herself ill with worry. How ever will she get over this?

How Not to Be Wrong by Jordan Ellenberg Pdf

A brilliant tour of mathematical thought and a guide to becoming a better thinker, How Not to Be Wrong shows that math is not just a long list of rules to be learned and carried out by rote. Math touches everything we do; It's what makes the world make sense. Using the mathematician's methods and hard-won insights-minus the jargon-professor and popular columnist Jordan Ellenberg guides general readers through his ideas with rigor and lively irreverence, infusing everything from election results to baseball to the existence of God and the psychology of slime molds with a heightened sense of clarity and wonder. Armed with the tools of mathematics, we can see the hidden structures beneath the messy and chaotic surface of our daily lives. How Not to Be Wrong shows us how--Publisher's description.
