MIT Press
The MIT Press is a university press affiliated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts (United States).
History
The MIT Press traces its origins back to 1926 when MIT published under its own name a lecture series entitled Problems of Atomic Dynamics given by the visiting German physicist and later Nobel Prize winner, Max Born. Six years later, MIT's publishing operations were first formally instituted by the creation of an imprint called Technology Press in 1932. This imprint was founded by James R. Killian, Jr., at the time editor of MIT's alumni magazine and later to become MIT president. Technology Press published eight titles independently, then in 1937 entered into an arrangement with John Wiley & Sons in which Wiley took over marketing and editorial responsibilities. In 1962 the association with Wiley came to an end after a further 125 titles had been published. The press acquired its modern name after this separation, and has since functioned as an independent publishing house.

The Uprising - An MIT Press Documentary Short
Time alone doesn’t change things. People change things. The Uprising tells the story of the unprecedented behind-the-scenes effort that amassed irrefutable evidence of differential treatment of men and women on the MIT faculty in the 1990s. Featuring biologist Nancy Hopkins, the film chronicles the experiences of marginalization and discouragement that accompanied Hopkins’ research and highlights the steps a group of sixteen women faculty members took to make science more diverse and equitable at MIT. The Uprising features interviews with leading MIT scientists, including social psychologist Lotte Bailyn, biomedical engineer Sangeeta N. Bhatia, chemist Sylvia Ceyer, ecologist Sallie (Penny) Chisholm, engineer Lorna Gibson, biologist Ruth Lehmann, geophysicist and president of the Nation...

The History of Making Books: Build a Printing Press at MIT
A group of MIT students briefly put away their cell phones this spring to concentrate on a much older information storage and retrieval device: the book. In a hands-on humanities class — Making Books: The Renaissance and Today — students gained insights about early books and book-making technology, not least by actually making paper and building a handset printing press, the kind of press on which the great documents of the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution were printed.

10 PRINT from MIT Press
Merman looks at 10 PRINT from MIT Press, a book all about the famous one-liner program that generated a "maze" on the C64.

There are variations and ports of the program to other machines and programming languages, and plenty of illustrations and example code. It is a mix of geeky language and deep philosophy.

MIT Press Textbooks presents Introduction to Urban Science by Luís M. A. Bettencourt
MIT Press Textbooks presents Introduction to Urban Science: Evidence and Theory of Cities as Complex Systems by Luís M. A. Bettencourt -- a core text for undergraduate courses in urban science. In Introduction to Urban Science, Bettencourt takes a novel, integrative approach to understanding cities as complex adaptive systems, claiming that they require us to frame the field of urban science in a way that goes beyond existing theory in such traditional disciplines as sociology, geography, and economics. He explores the processes facilitated by and, in many cases, unleashed for the first time by urban life through the lenses of social heterogeneity, complex networks, scaling, circular causality, and information. In this video, Bettencourt explains the niche this book fills in the field of...

Where FICO Gets Its Data for Screening Two-Thirds of All Card Transactions
Source: https://www.podbean.com/eau/pb-e6h5a-15c24c1 In this episode, Eric Siegel narrates his article in The European Business Review, "Where FICO Gets Its Data for Screening Two-Thirds of All Card Transactions." The detection of fraudulent credit card transactions is an ideal candidate for the application of machine learning technology. However, in order to learn how to spot attempted fraud, such a system needs someone to tell it which historic transactions were OK, and which were not.

Time alone doesn’t change things. People change things.
The Uprising tells the story of the unprecedented behind-the-scenes effort that amassed irrefutable evidence of differential treatment of men and women on the MIT faculty in the 1990s. Featuring biologist Nancy Hopkins, the film chronicles the experiences of marginalization and discouragement that accompanied Hopkins’ research and highlights the steps a group of sixteen women faculty members took to make science more diverse and equitable at MIT.
The Uprising features interviews with leading MIT scientists, including social psychologist Lotte Bailyn, biomedical engineer Sangeeta N. Bhatia, chemist Sylvia Ceyer, ecologist Sallie (Penny) Chisholm, engineer Lorna Gibson, biologist Ruth Lehmann, geophysicist and president of the National Academy of Sciences Marcia McNutt, cognitive scientist Mary Potter, oceanographer Paola Rizzoli, geophysicist Leigh Royden, and biologist Lisa Steiner.
The Uprising was funded by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, as well as support from Nancy Blachman and an anonymous donor. The film was directed by Ian Cheney and Sharon Shattuck and produced by Manette Pottle, in collaboration with the MIT Press. Amy Brand, director and publisher at the MIT Press, served as executive producer.

Merman looks at 10 PRINT from MIT Press, a book all about the famous one-liner program that generated a "maze" on the C64. That code - 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10
0:00 Intro
0:25 Cover & Blurb
0:55 Foreword & Introduction
2:09 Variations
3:11 Regularity
4:43 One-liners & BASIC
5:50 The Commodore 64
7:29 Conclusions
9:05 Outro
This remarkable book analyses the single line of BASIC code, looking at how the individual instructions work, how mazes and patterns have played a part in art and culture, and how the Commodore 64 produces the maze-like output. There are variations and ports of the program to other machines and programming languages, and plenty of illustrations and example code. It is a mix of geeky language and deep philosophy.
"A single line of code offers a way to understand the cultural context of computing." With 10 different authors collaborating under editor Nick Montfort, this is a fascinating book.
MIT Press is 60 years old this year (2022), and this book is part of the Software Studies series, looking at computer hardware and software in a different light. Other books in this and the related Platform Studies series include Racing The Beam on programming the Atari 2600, and How Pac-Man Eats.

MIT Press Textbooks presents Introduction to Urban Science: Evidence and Theory of Cities as Complex Systems by Luís M. A. Bettencourt -- a core text for undergraduate courses in urban science.
In Introduction to Urban Science, Bettencourt takes a novel, integrative approach to understanding cities as complex adaptive systems, claiming that they require us to frame the field of urban science in a way that goes beyond existing theory in such traditional disciplines as sociology, geography, and economics. He explores the processes facilitated by and, in many cases, unleashed for the first time by urban life through the lenses of social heterogeneity, complex networks, scaling, circular causality, and information.
In this video, Bettencourt explains the niche this book fills in the field of urban science, what students will get out of this study, and how the book can be incorporated into courses in the social sciences and humanities.
To request an examination copy, please visit the MIT Press website: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262046008/introduction-to-urban-science/
Luís M. A. Bettencourt is Professor of Ecology and Evolution, and Inaugural Director of the Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation, at the University of Chicago. He is also External Professor of Complex Systems at the Santa Fe Institute.

Essential Knowledge in a Time of Crisis: Critical Thinking by Jonathan Haber

MIT Press Live! presents a virtual conversation with Jonathan Haber, author of Critical Thinking.
About this Event
With so much noise and news all around us, how can we decipher what is accurate and useful to us at this confusing and chaotic time? Educational researcher Jonathan Haber explores how critical thinking techniques can help us outside of the classroom, and keep us calm in the face of conflicting information and voices.
Jonathan Haber was an educational researcher, writer and entrepreneur working in the fields of critical-thinking education, assessment, and technology-enabled learning whose work has been featured in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, the Chronicle of Higher Education, and the Wall Street Journal. He is the author of another MIT Press Essential Knowledge book, MOOCs, and The Critical Voter.
Learn more about the book: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/critical-thinking
Critical thinking is regularly cited as an essential twenty-first century skill, the key to success in school and work. Given our propensity to believe fake news, draw incorrect conclusions, and make decisions based on emotion rather than reason, it might even be said that critical thinking is vital to the survival of a democratic society. But what, exactly, is critical thinking? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Jonathan Haber explains how the concept of critical thinking emerged, how it has been defined, and how critical thinking skills can be taught and assessed.
Haber describes the term's origins in such disciplines as philosophy, psychology, and science. He examines the components of critical thinking, including structured thinking, language skills, background knowledge, and information literacy, along with such necessary intellectual traits as intellectual humility, empathy, and open-mindedness. He discusses how research has defined critical thinking, how elements of critical thinking have been taught for centuries, and how educators can teach critical thinking skills now.
Haber argues that the most important critical thinking issue today is that not enough people are doing enough of it. Fortunately, critical thinking can be taught, practiced, and evaluated. This book offers a guide for teachers, students, and aspiring critical thinkers everywhere, including advice for educational leaders and policy makers on how to make the teaching and learning of critical thinking an educational priority and practical reality.

The detection of fraudulent credit card transactions is an ideal candidate for the application of machine learning technology. However, in order to learn how to spot attempted fraud, such a system needs someone to tell it which historic transactions were OK, and which were not.

Time alone doesn’t change things. People change things.
The Uprising tells the story of the unprecedented behind-the-scenes effort that amassed irrefutable evidence of differential treatment of men and women on the MIT faculty in the 1990s. Featuring biologist Nancy Hopkins, the film chronicles the experiences of marginalization and discouragement that accompanied Hopkins’ research and highlights the steps a group of sixteen women faculty members took to make science more diverse and equitable at MIT.
The Uprising features interviews with leading MIT scientists, including social psychologist Lotte Bailyn, biomedical engineer Sangeeta N. Bhatia, chemist Sylvia Ceyer, ecologist Sallie (Penny) Chisholm, engineer Lorna Gibson, biologist Ruth Lehmann, geophysicist and president of the National Academy of Sciences Marcia McNutt, cognitive scientist Mary Potter, oceanographer Paola Rizzoli, geophysicist Leigh Royden, and biologist Lisa Steiner.
The Uprising was funded by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, as well as support from Nancy Blachman and an anonymous donor. The film was directed by Ian Cheney and Sharon Shattuck and produced by Manette Pottle, in collaboration with the MIT Press. Amy Brand, director and publisher at the MIT Press, served as executive producer.

A group of MIT students briefly put away their cell phones this spring to concentrate on a much older information storage and retrieval device: the book. In a hands-on humanities class — Making Books: The Renaissance and Today — students gained insights about early books and book-making technology, not least by actually making paper and building a handset printing press, the kind of press on which the great documents of the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution were printed.

Merman looks at 10 PRINT from MIT Press, a book all about the famous one-liner program that generated a "maze" on the C64. That code - 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10

2:09 Variations
3:11 Regularity
4:43 One-liners & BASIC
5:50 The Commodore 64
7:29 Conclusions
9:05 Outro
This remarkable book analyses the single line of BASIC code, looking at how the individual instructions work, how mazes and patterns have played a part in art and culture, and how the Commodore 64 produces the maze-like output. There are variations and ports of the program to other machines and programming languages, and plenty of illustrations and example code. It is a mix of geeky language and deep philosophy.
"A single line of code offers a way to understand the cultural context of computing." With 10 different authors collaborating under editor Nick Montfort, this is a fascinating book.
MIT Press is 60 years old this year (2022), and this book is part of the Software Studies series, looking at computer hardware and software in a different light. Other books in this and the related Platform Studies series include Racing The Beam on programming the Atari 2600, and How Pac-Man Eats.

MIT Press Textbooks presents Introduction to Urban Science: Evidence and Theory of Cities as Complex Systems by Luís M. A. Bettencourt -- a core text for undergraduate courses in urban science.
In Introduction to Urban Science, Bettencourt takes a novel, integrative approach to understanding cities as complex adaptive systems, claiming that they require us to frame the field of urban science in a way that goes beyond existing theory in such traditional disciplines as sociology, geography, and economics. He explores the processes facilitated by and, in many cases, unleashed for the first time by urban life through the lenses of social heterogeneity, complex networks, scaling, circular causality, and information.
In this video, Bettencourt explains the niche this book fills in the field of urban science, what students will get out of this study, and how the book can be incorporated into courses in the social sciences and humanities.
To request an examination copy, please visit the MIT Press website: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262046008/introduction-to-urban-science/
Luís M. A. Bettencourt is Professor of Ecology and Evolution, and Inaugural Director of the Mansueto Institute for Urban Innovation, at the University of Chicago. He is also External Professor of Complex Systems at the Santa Fe Institute.

MIT Press
The MIT Press is a university press affiliated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts (United States).
History
The MIT Press traces its origins back to 1926 when MIT published under its own name a lecture series entitled Problems of Atomic Dynamics given by the visiting German physicist and later Nobel Prize winner, Max Born. Six years later, MIT's publishing operations were first formally instituted by the creation of an imprint called Technology Press in 1932. This imprint was founded by James R. Killian, Jr., at the time editor of MIT's alumni magazine and later to become MIT president. Technology Press published eight titles independently, then in 1937 entered into an arrangement with John Wiley & Sons in which Wiley took over marketing and editorial responsibilities. In 1962 the association with Wiley came to an end after a further 125 titles had been published. The press acquired its modern name after this separation, and has since functioned as an independent publishing house.

Mad Bars
by: Chris WebbyYeah. This shit right here is for all the haters (haters). Alright?
Everybody sayin', "Yo dude, you can't spit."
And I'm like, I'm like, "Yo fuck that I can spit! ".
Ha. So uh, let me just lay down mad bars.
(Mad bars) Yeah.
I'll spit a whole bunch of bars
Re-roll up cigars.
I am greater than the rest,
Super nova, the stars.
You're just the common cold
I am sors,
I do not spar,
Every single blow will hit hard.
And I know what you are,
And hm, you're not me.
Outdo you in anything,
Bitch just watch me.
I drop shit on any topic,
Hottnes,
Then swap spit with hot chicks
And get my cock licked.
I'm a rot pit
Mixed with a little bijon.
Hugh Heff in a flesh
Stay rollin' with three blondes.
So don't hate this,
I can't help that I'm great bitch.
I spit a rhyme and I'm oudie (Audi),
Like an A6.
I make hits
And I hit the marijuana.
Then beat the shit out of Rihanna
Just because I wanna.
Haha. Nah, I ain't Chris Brown.
I am Chris Web.
CT is listenin' to everything this kid says.
The only time I get bread's
At a meal
Before my main course,
God damn I need a deal.
I'm broke out on bail
And I'm livin' with my parents.
But I spit,
And got these high school girls starin'.
Darin' to be different,
Apparently it's rhythm
That's keeping me goin'
Every moment
That Webby be spittin'.
Spittin' like I got a loogie
Stuck in my throat.
But fuck it
I'm dope.
The ring leader's runnin' the show.
So ring around the rosie,
With a pocket full of OC's.
Pop 'em all at once
And OD,
Oh me!
Oh my!
So high!
I don't even want to land
Contraband in my waistband
Rip it 'cause I can.
Half man,
Half ninja turtle,
Half a fuckin' head case.
If I don't make it on the mic,
I'll make a sex tape.
Me, Kim Kardashian, and Paris
In a three way.
Earn a right to disk
And make a million off of ebay.
I got true blood
Runnin' in my veins.
Sharper than a vampire's fangs,
Bang!
Sneeze a lightning bolt
'Cause I'm always spitting thunder.
Runnin' shit like Ari
Cause drama like Vince's brother.
Smoother than butter
With a pocket full of rubbers
And skills that'll make your girl
S-s-s-s-stutter.
Back up in this mother fucker
With avengence.
Make 'em pause
Like they got a comma in their sentence.
You can tell them this shit
As soon as I hit the entrance.
Fuck the shampoo
We rollin' that Herbal Essense.
'Cause I'm great like Alexander.
Two pokie balls,
Hanging,
Spit flames like charmander.
And I got your chick
Wetter than a blastoise
She said I'm sexy
And she love my raspy ass voice.
I'll turn the stage into a slaughter house
Ask Roise
Fucking with Webby is just a bad choice!
I'm a mother fucking goblin man.
Get the Cablevision,
Rhythm, rippin' on demand.
You can see me with the mic on my sonogram
And the doc was like,
"Hm, I think we've got a problem ma'am".
Had a rattle in my right hand
Dutchie in the other, kid,
Diaper on my ass
Thirty rac up in the fucking crib.
Had 'em sayin,
"What the fuck is up? ".
'Cause all I do is fill up cups
And puff a dutch.
Rollin' with a crew of giants
Like Justin Tucks
So if you really wanna step
Better muscle up
'Cause I really got to show 'em
When enough's enough.
'Cause now these rappers trying to bite me
Like scruff mcgruff.
Gotta get these damn dogs youthinized.
I am back,
I'll as can be,
And super-sized
Like Star Fox
I am truly fly.
Can't do what I do,
Excuse you...
I be runnin' shit with my manager
Younger than me.
When I'm young as fuck,
And still nobody fucking with me.
I am in A&R's wet dream
Ready for the shit
'Cause the games a fucking rap
When they let Webby in this bitch.
Because the game's a fucking rap
When they let Webby in this bitch. [x2]
Yeah, you know.
Mad bars.
Maaaad bars.
Spit straight on any mixtape.
I'm I'll.
