"Smiling Through The Pain" is a 1st edition copy, it was the very first book I published back in 2010. It is a collection of over 62 poems about Life and inspiration. This poetry book describes all my truest and most memorable thoughts on how I was feeling while writing this book.I was very depressed and during this time I was first diagnosed with schizophrenia. 11 years later today I am the author of four books, but "Smiling Through The Pain" is my 1st edition prize possession and it is now on the bookshelf at my local Library, for a signed copy of this book it will cost you $250.00 but regular unsigned copies will be going for $10.00, why because again this is a 1st edition copy of my very first book I ever published. it is very important that we know our worth and value that we put our hard work into. For "Smiling Through The Pain" your not just paying $250.00 your investing your money into something that could very well be worth way more if I become a famous writer. Right now today 1st edition books are worth a couple hundred dollars So I encourage you to invest in my poetry book and also you can find my other books online like "The Other Side of Ecstasy", "The Power of Achievement" and "Black Gold Down Under".

Deceptively simple and suspiciously addictive, "Not Quite What I Was Planning: And Other Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure" is a thousand little glimpses at humanity - six words at a time. In 2006, "SMITH" Magazine decided to give people the opportunity to answer a Hemingway inspired challenge: What would a six-word memoir look like? Within weeks, submissions were coming in by the thousands and this book is the fruit of this amazing response. Famous contributors range from Joan Rivers to Dave Eggers, Mario Batali to Jonathan Lethem, Deepak Chopra to Moby. Most of the contributions, however, came from amateur writers. Examples; From Aimee Mann: 'Couldn't cope so I wrote songs.'; From Joyce Carol Oates: 'Revenge is living well, without you.'; From Joan Rivers: 'Liars, hysterectomy didn't improve sex life!'; And from unknown writers we have: Never really finished anything, except cake.Found true love, married someone else; Study mathematics. Marry slut. Sum bad; Caring for parents. Life is circular. This title presents a glorious mishmash of these and myriad other voices. It's a thousand little windows into humanity-six words at a time. Whether the results are shocking, strange, silly, or sad, they are always entertaining, often inspiring, and totally addictive.

This popular and successful text was originally written for a one-semester course in linear algebra at the sophomore undergraduate level. A compact, but mathematically clean introduction to linear algebra with particular emphasis on topics in abstract algebra, the theory of differential equations, and group representation theory.

Poincare duality algebras originated in the work of topologists on the cohomology of closed manifolds, and Macaulay's dual systems in the study of irreducible ideals in polynomial algebras. These two ideas are tied together using basic commutative algebra involving Gorenstein algebras. Steenrod operations also originated in algebraic topology, but may best be viewed as a means of encoding the information often hidden behind the Frobenius map in characteristic p0. They provide a noncommutative tool to study commutative algebras over a Galois field. In this Tract the authors skilfully bring together these ideas and apply them to problems in invariant theory. A number of remarkable and unexpected interdisciplinary connections are revealed that will interest researchers in the areas of commutative algebra, invariant theory or algebraic topology.

This is a book about the invariant theory of finite groups, written by an algebraic topologist. It illustrates the theorems by applying them to concrete cases, and examines several basic ideas and problems of invariant theory in the context of some elementary examples.

A compilation of results in the theory of polynomial invariants of finite groups. The book also introduces some of the concepts behind ideal theory and homological algebra, and discusses the mutual impact of invariant theory and algebraic topology.
