In the pilot volume of the comic book series ÒProgramming and Mathematics,Ó you'll embark on an extraordinary journey into a world dominated by recreational mathematics, algorithms, logic, programming, and our unique sense of humour. As you learn and tackle tasks, you'll be accompanied by two main characters: Ramsy the Ram and his good friend, Barky the Wolf. Both of them are just starting to learn programming, and they would really appreciate it if you didn't leave them to figure it out all on their own!

The designation ÒA1Ó in the book title refers to the basic level of complexity (denoted by ÒAÓ) and the first part (denoted by Ò1Ó). The goal of the first volume is to introduce readers to the fundamentals of the Clojure programming language, including symbolic expressions, arithmetic, truth values, and basic data structures (vectors). Through the examples provided, we aim to make readers aware that common tasks they encounter in mathematics textbooks can be equally well expressed in the language of programming. We are taking this path because programming, as both a skill and an art, has many connections with mathematics, primarily in how it encourages individuals to think and develop their abstract reasoning abilities. This is precisely what we aim to promote through our book.

The book is designed as a textbook with a workbook component. It is thematically divided into 25 chapters. Within each chapter, you will become acquainted with new concepts and principles alongside our heroes. You will also have the opportunity to apply your ingenuity when solving problems.

Thanks to the graded complexity of the tasks, this book is suitable for readers of all age groups, regardless of their prior experience. You will find examples suitable for children as young as seven, as well as challenges that can engage much older readers. Therefore, we can recommend it as a supplementary workbook for traditional mathematics courses or as an alternative textbook for homeschooling or extracurricular activities.

As a complement to this textbook, you can also purchase the book ÒSolutions Manual A1,Ó which provides model solutions to all the exercises. For additional information and supplementary materials, you can support us on Patreon.

Alternate Title: How to Succeed in a Digital World

It would be difficult to find a book with more career tips than this volume. Lindsey Pollak (by the way, a great speaker at any event that addresses Millennials in the business world) nails it with hundreds (no exaggeration) of tips and pieces of advice that are practical for people of any age. Whether you're looking for your first professional job, searching for a new opportunity or just wanting to increase your professional visibility, Lindsey offers a wide variety of ways that you can achieve your objectives. This book is especially important for mid-career professionals who weren't raised in the technology era. There's so much to learn about marketing to Millennials, seeking employment from Millennials and interacting professionally with Millennials. Lindsey provides a roadmap that each reader can view and choose the appropriate path to success.

Great and easy to follow tips
Format: Paperback
Lindsey Pollak breaks it down for you! Her tips are mostly great, found some that I wasn't even aware of. I also enjoyed the fact that she starts by telling us her own story and how her career built up over time by taking action. The author also provides great insights from many other industry leaders. I would definitely recommend this book to us young and restless grads!

Great book!
Format: Paperback
This book is a great complement to my book "The Secret To Getting A Job After College". While I cover the details about resumes and cover letters, this book does a very effective job addressing issues related to determining what you should think about doing after college and the author also has a valuable section on how to prepare your elevator speech. I recommend it for everyone who is in college or has graduated in the past few years and I now consider it required reading for many of my students.
