A confident, plus size CEO running a billion dollar company and the country's best professional quarterback... it sounds like the ultimate power couple, if it wasn't all pretend.Fake dating was not in the plan this year. Especially since I hardly have time for actual dating.That is until Ford Madigan makes me an offer I can't refuse: a fake relationship that will benefit us both. He'll get away from the team owner's entitled daughter while I score some points with members of the company's board who love him more than they hate me.It all seems like a simple business transaction-make a few public appearances and pretend we're in love until we both get what we want.The problem is... I find out he's more than just another jock. He's a humanitarian using his fortune to help kids all over Texas. Not to mention, he isn't intimidated by my success like most men.Now I want more from him. I want something real.But scars from his past keep him from risking his heart a second time.I haven't gotten where I am in life from settling, but I'm also not the kind of woman who will wait around for a man to realize what's right in front of him.Will he make this relationship more? Or will I be the one who got away?

In their comics debut, Theo Parish masterfully weaves an intimate and defiantly hopeful memoir about the journey one nonbinary person takes to find a home within themself. Combining traditional comics with organic journal-like interludes, Theo takes us through their experiences with the hundred arbitrary and unspoken gender binary rules of high school, from harrowing haircuts and finally the right haircut to the intersection of gender identity and sexuality—and through tiny everyday moments that all led up to Theo finding the term “nonbinary,” which finally struck a chord.“Have you ever had one of those moments when all of a sudden things become clear…like someone just turned on a light?”A whole spectrum of people will be drawn to Theo’s storytelling, from trans or questioning teens and adults, to folks who devoured Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe or The Fire Never Goes Out by ND Stevenson, to any person looking to dive a little deeper into the way gender can shape identity. Throughout the book, Theo’s crystal-clear voice reminds the reader that it’s okay not to know, it’s okay to change your mind, and it’s okay to take your time finding your way home.“We are all just trying to find a place to call our own. We are all deserving of comfort and safety, a place to call home.”

What¿s the point of calculating definite integrals since you can¿t possibly do them all? What makes doing the specific integrals in this book of value aren¿t the specific answers we¿ll obtain, but rather the methods we¿ll use in obtaining those answers; methods you can use for evaluating the integrals you will encounter in the future. This book, now in its second edition, is written in a light-hearted manner for students who have completed the first year of college or high school AP calculus and have just a bit of exposure to the concept of a differential equation. Every result is fully derived. If you are fascinated by definite integrals, then this is a book for you. New material in the second edition includes 25 new challenge problems and solutions, 25 new worked examples, simplified derivations, and additional historical discussion.

This textbook emphasizes the interplay between algebra and geometry to motivate the study of linear algebra. Matrices and linear transformations are presented as two sides of the same coin, with their connection motivating inquiry throughout the book. By focusing on this interface, the author offers a conceptual appreciation of the mathematics that is at the heart of further theory and applications. Those continuing to a second course in linear algebra will appreciate the companion volume Advanced Linear and Matrix Algebra. Starting with an introduction to vectors, matrices, and linear transformations, the book focuses on building a geometric intuition of what these tools represent. Linear systems offer a powerful application of the ideas seen so far, and lead onto the introduction of subspaces, linear independence, bases, and rank. Investigation then focuses on the algebraic properties of matrices that illuminate the geometry of the linear transformations that they represent. Determinants, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors all benefit from this geometric viewpoint. Throughout, ¿Extra Topic¿ sections augment the core content with a wide range of ideas and applications, from linear programming, to power iteration and linear recurrence relations. Exercises of all levels accompany each section, including many designed to be tackled using computer software. Introduction to Linear and Matrix Algebra is ideal for an introductory proof-based linear algebra course. The engaging color presentation and frequent marginal notes showcase the author¿s visual approach. Students are assumed to have completed one or two university-level mathematics courses, though calculus is not an explicit requirement. Instructors will appreciate the ample opportunities to choose topics that align with the needs of each classroom, and the online homework sets that are available through WeBWorK.
