<p>Despite the great technological, political, and cultural accomplishments of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, there has been little real progress in other crucial areas of human development. Clearly, many deep spiritual human values are being sacrificed for selfish pursuits. Consequently, crime motivated by anger, jealousy, and envy, continues to increase while people of different social, spiritual, educational, and political backgrounds exhibit also self destructive behavior. The author believes strongly that the present educational model of separation in the Western world is responsible for this social trend and a shift in the existing paradigm toward the model of unity is essential for a real positive change in human behavior. We need to know who we really are and what is our real place in the universe. The purpose of this book is to provide evidence and motivation for the implementation of the new educational paradigm.</p>

<p>Ever since 1984, when I started my teaching career in mathematics at Austin Community College, Austin, Texas, I envisioned writing a collection of math problems meant to cover most of the undergraduate spectrum. Finally, this collection is available to those interested in sharpening their math skills for academic success or pure enjoyment. The 1,460 problems are presented in groups of four, numbered such that problems 1 and 2 cover developmental mathematics (the essential elementary and secondary school curriculum), while numbers 3 and 4 cover most of the college credit concepts from college algebra to calculus, as the table of contents shows. Each group of four is preceded by a meaningful quotation and ends with the answers to the last question in each of the four problems in the order 1, 2, 3, 4, like this: (4-26-20-15). In addition, this volume starts with my proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem and a few of the basic divisibility rules, important mathematical concepts that are usually presented to students without pertinent justification. In this respect I focused on divisibility by 3, 9, and 4 for which my proofs follow similar patterns. Consequently, I hope this book can help those dedicated to their improvement in the realm of undergraduate mathematics by practicing consistently, patiently, joyfully, and persistently. How to use this collection of math problems is left up to each individual's decision according to her/his readiness, pleasure, and need. Moreover, the 365 inspirational/motivational quotations included in here are meant to combine mathematical and philosophical thinking. This can definitely contribute to significant personal advancement on both fronts, as we all aspire to a better life.</p>

"Escape To Freedom: Chronicles Of A Life On Two Continents" chronicles how Irie Glajar, a mathematics professor in Austin, Texas, escaped to freedom in the U.S.A. from communist Romania of 1981. At age 26 Irie risked his life in a daring escape from communism through Yugoslavia and Italy to reach freedom in the United States. The odds were against him with little money, no vehicle, no passport and having to deal with several foreign languages along the way. Escape To Freedom is an entertaining autobiography about Irie's life under communism, his dangerous escape, and his present life in the freedom of the U.S.A.
