The stories of the many women who excel in STEM fields, despite real obstacles, need to be told. This book assembles profiles of Nobel Laureates, as well as those who were overlooked. It introduces the reader to women who received encouragement from...

In computer science, variables are the system for storing, labeling, and retrieving information programmatically. Where information is stored and how it is labeled is important. These distinctions determine which actions can be taken with the...

Collaboration is one of the defining characteristics of the tech industry, and young readers can relate to the dynamic processes of brainstorming and working together in a group. This volume emphasizes that ideas evolve as more people provide input. With...

Control structures determine how a computer program responds to a key press, mouse click, loop of instructions, or Boolean logic. Away from a computer, these structures can be seen in how people follow instructions and how they decide whether or not to...

All pieces of hardware and software involve multiple systems and features working together to complete tasks. Therefore, innovations in computer science require simplifying or breaking down large goals into small, manageable parts. This book shows...

The fundamental shapes of geometry can be built into the grand sweeps of the Sydney Opera House or something as small as a snowflake. This title takes geometric concepts like polygons, platonic solids, and angles and demonstrates their myriad appearances...

Much more than finding x, algebra forms the basis to describe any process that has variation. Everyday numbers like money and time are common variables. In this book, key concepts from algebra, such as lines, polynomials and the quadratic formula, are...

Although we learn the fundamentals of counting and measuring in our early years, these concepts form the foundation of complex processes, from mountain climbing and skydiving to video game design. This title examines the seemingly simple ideas of number...

String Theory takes on one of modern physics' most complicated and enthralling candidates for the theory of everything--a possible universal answer to all applied sciences. By examining some of the fundamentals of physics such as electricity, magnetism,...

New Frontiers in Astronomy describes critical discoveries that shape the way we look at our universe, such as the Big Bang Theory and the acceleration of the universe. These discoveries paved the way for more recent leaps in the field of astronomy,...

DNA and RNA explores Friedrich Miescher's major scientific discovery in 1944 when he isolated DNA for the first time, forever changing our understanding of the building blocks of the human body. The book looks at Miescher's path to isolating DNA and the...

The Human Genome explores the science and the history behind the specific sequences in our DNA that make us human. Reaching all the way back to the 1850s when Gregor Mendel used his pea plant experiments to solve the mystery of trait inheritance, this...
