Smart Machines in Education

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Multimedia, simulation, computer-mediated communication networks, and distance learning have all become part of the educational toolkit. The next major technology to change the face of education will be based on the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI). Progress in AI has led to a deeper understanding of how to represent knowledge, to reason, and to describe procedural knowledge.

Smart Marriage: Using Your

2007 y.
Publisher: Praeger Publishers
Description: It might seem too practical, at first, to apply a business strategy to such an intimate and emotional quest as love and marriage. But a front page article in the Wall Street Journal in 2006 summed it up this way: `In their rush down the aisle, couples often think love will overcome any disagreements about savings and spending. It doesn`t. So even among the most compatible couples, the pre-wedding vow of personal-finance silence leads to frustration, fights, and power struggles.` And divorce, adds economist Allen Parkman. So look-and talk-before you leap. In this eye-opening book, Parkman shows how we can use our heads-in addition to our hearts-to find wedded bliss and avoid a failed marriage. Smart Marriage provides a framework Parkman claims will increase the chance of long-term success in marriage and help couples to weather the storms that come with all marriages. This framework will enable couples to jointly make good decisions, avoid financial stress and the other traps that… [detailed...]
