Recent years have seen the introduction of concepts from the new and exciting field of complexity science that have captivated the attention of economists, sociologists, engineers, businesspeople, and many others.

​

These include

tipping points, the sociological term used to describe moments when unique or rare phenomena become more commonplace;
the wisdom of crowds, the argument that certain types of groups harness information and make decisions in more effective ways than individuals;
six degrees of separation, the idea that it takes no more than six steps to find some form of connection between two random individuals; and
emergence, the idea that new properties, processes, and structures can emerge unexpectedly from complex systems.
Interest in these intriguing concepts is widespread because of the utility of this field. Complexity science can shed light on why businesses or economies succeed and fail, how epidemics spread and can be stopped, and what causes ecological systems to rebalance themselves after a disaster.

In fact, complexity science is a discipline that may well hold the key to unlocking the secrets of some of the most important forces on Earth. But it's also a science that remains largely unknown, even among well-educated people.

Now you can discover and grasp the fundamentals and applications of this amazing field with Understanding Complexity. Professor Scott E. Page-one of the field's most highly regarded teachers, researchers, and real-world practitioners-introduces you to this vibrant and still evolving discipline. In 12 lucid lectures, you learn how complexity science helps us understand the nature and behavior of systems formed of financial markets, corporations, native cultures, governments, and more.

TTC - Life Lessons from the Great Books
Last updated 8/2024
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 36 Lessons ( 18h 11m) | Size: 15.2 GB

For every important moment and stage in your life, there is a Great Book that can offer you invaluable lessons and place your unique experiences in a larger perspective.

​

Some of history's greatest authors have written about timeless themes and trying points in our lives. If you're unlucky in love, you can seek sympathy in Goethe's epistolary novel, The Sufferings of Young Werther, and its title character's frustrations with unrequited love. If you're looking to explore new environments, you can follow along with Lewis and Clark in their detailed journals as they journey through the Louisiana Territory. And if you're trying to lead a noble and hard-working life, you can learn from Albert Schweitzer, whose autobiography Out of My Life and Thought details his work providing medical care in a remote African village.

In Life Lessons from the Great Books, Professor J. Rufus Fears of the University of Oklahoma-a marvelous storyteller with deep historical knowledge-shows you how some of Western civilization's greatest literary masterpieces can speak to you and provide guidance in your life across the gulf of time and culture. Rich in historical perspective and infused with layers of meaning, these 36 lectures reveal the wealth of insight these enduring works can provide in your life. You'll come to see that each of these works-whether written 2,000, 200, or 20 years ago-remain relevant to all of us.

What Makes a Book "Great"?

According to Professor Fears, four characteristics define a Great Book

Its focus on great themes such as love, courage, and patriotism
Its composition in a noble language
Its ability to speak to readers across the ages
Its ability to speak to readers not as groups, but as individuals
In Life Lessons from the Great Books, you focus on more than three dozen works that span the timeline of Western history, from ancient Greece and Rome to the modern age. Each of these 36 books provides insights not only into the human experience of their particular time and place but also into your own situation.

Great Books are touchstones to history and the story of humanity. Every Great Book you explore in this course-from the Odyssey and the Gospel of John to Hamlet and Animal Farm-is a unique expression of the human spirit and a fountain of advice, from how to conduct yourself in times of trouble to how to better appreciate the simple moments in your life.

In addition to pointing out the merits and virtues of each text in the course, Professor Fears explains how authors learned from and influenced each other, and how certain texts are interrelated.

"We will be very concerned in our course not with just what each one of these books says, but also with how it has built upon the lessons of the books that have come before and how it contributes to an ongoing current of intellectual excitement and dialogue," he notes.

Great Themes, Enduring Life Lessons

The lectures in Life Lessons from the Great Books are grouped into six broad themes that run through history's most compelling stories. Each of these themes is universal-we've all, at some point or another, felt the pangs of love or tried to steel our souls with courage. In exploring these themes within the context of these Great Books, you learn new ideas about both the works themselves and the broad scope of the human condition.

The Unconquerable Human Spirit: Why can your spirit endure so much hardship without crumbling? Fyodor Dostoevsky displays the inner battle of the human spirit against sensuousness, violence, and mystery in The Brothers Karamazov. Similarly, Elie Wiesel's Night presents a single individual struggling to survive during one of history's darkest moments: the Holocaust.
Youth and Old Age: How can you cope with the trials and tribulations of youth? Of old age? Goethe's The Sufferings of Young Werther remains an enduring statement about the passions of youth, while Cicero's "On Old Age" counsels us on the importance of old age and the wisdom that comes with it.
Romance and Love: Why can love bring both pain and pleasure? How can you overcome heartache? Great Books such as Tristan and Isolde (with its depiction of chivalric romance) and Macbeth (with Lady Macbeth's use of love to manipulate her husband) help you understand love in all its complex forms.
Adventure and Courage: How can you find the strength within yourself to face life's many challenges? T. E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom, which charts the soldier's experiences in the Middle East during World War I, reveals how one can reinvent oneself in new environments and discover inner strengths.
Laughter and Irony: How can humor help to console you in times of trouble? How can it offer us unique perspectives on horrible situations? See how George Orwell's Animal Farm uses pointed satire as an opportunity to skewer Communist ideals.
Patriotism: What is the true meaning of patriotism? President George Washington's farewell address called for the avoidance of savage partisan strife-a message that still rings true in today's world. President Theodore Roosevelt's Autobiography offers you timeless views on patriotic characteristics such as honesty and integrity.
A Storyteller Who Brings Literature to Life

An extraordinary orator, Professor Fears possesses a passion, knowledge, and authority that shine through in each of these inspirational lectures. You quickly understand why he has earned 25 teaching awards in his distinguished career.

His deep knowledge of classical history sheds new light on these literary masterpieces. With each lecture in Life Lessons from the Great Books, you discover fascinating new vantage points from which to view classic works.

Professor Fears's analogies between ancient dilemmas and their modern-day counterparts close the gap between literature and your daily life; they show you how these resonant themes are not new to the modern human condition but instead have been felt throughout history. You take solace in the realization that the ancient Greeks, medieval scholars, and our country's Founding Fathers all experienced social struggles, ethical dilemmas, and personal challenges similar to those we all face.

If you haven't read these Great Books before, the warmth of Professor Fears's storytelling and his insightful approach to literature will have you heading to the library to learn more. And if you've already read these works, you'll discover new themes and ideas that will help you get more out of them.

Regardless of your previous familiarity with these works, you'll come to understand why these masterpieces remain eternal testaments to the variety of human experience and the powerful ways in which literature can guide and inspire us.

SANS - FOR500: Windows Forensic Analysis
Language: English | Video: H264 1280x1080 | Audio: AAC 16 kHz mono | Duration: 39h 35m | 80.7 GB

FOR500: Windows Forensic Analysis will teach you to:

Conduct in-depth forensic analysis of Windows operating systems and media exploitation on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11 and Windows Server products.

Identify artifact and evidence locations to answer crucial questions, including application execution, file access, data theft, external device usage, cloud services, device geolocation, file download, anti-forensics, and detailed system and user activity.
Become tool-agnostic by focusing your capabilities on analysis instead of how to use a particular tool.
Extract critical findings and build an in-house forensic capability via a variety of free, open-source, and commercial tools provided within the SANS Windows SIFT Workstation.

FOR500 starts with an intellectual property theft and corporate espionage case that took over six months to create. You work in the real world, so your training should include real-world practice data. Our instructor course development team used incidents from their own investigations and experiences to create an incredibly rich and detailed scenario designed to immerse students in an actual investigation. The case demonstrates the latest artifacts and technologies an investigator might encounter while analyzing Windows systems. The detailed workbook teaches the tools and techniques that every investigator should employ step by step to solve a forensic case. The tools provided can be used long after the end of class.

Please note that this is an analysis-focused course; FOR500 does not cover the basics of evidentiary handling, the "chain of custody," or introductory drive acquisition. The course authors update FOR500 aggressively to stay current with the latest artifacts and techniques discovered. This course is perfect for you if you are interested in in-depth and current Microsoft Windows Operating System forensics and analysis for any incident that occurs. If you have not updated your Windows forensic analysis skills in the past three years or more, this course is essential.

TTC - How Railways Transformed the World
Released 6/2024
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 24 Lessons ( 11h 32m ) | Size: 9.63 GB

Railways are one of the most important inventions in modern history.

​

While most of us have experienced railways as passengers, and through media, a deeper look at railways shows a historical phenomenon of astonishing proportions. Rail travel brought the first overland mass transport of both people and goods, spanning continents and linking communities and nations with unprecedented speed and efficiency. The effects of this innovation on the way of life of people around the world have been incalculable.

In the 24 richly illustrated lectures of How Railways Transformed the World, Professor Patrick N. Allitt of Emory University takes you on a deep dive into the history, lore, and the multiple dimensions of trains and rail travel. An eminent historian and a lifelong railway enthusiast, Professor Allitt infuses the lectures with a vast and discerning knowledge of trains and train travel as he discusses the importance of railways throughout history and throughout the world, also presenting extensive material about rail travel today. Through his grand and sprawling narrative and engrossing storytelling, you'll witness the creation and development of rail technology, the railway industry, and railway culture, which has had such profound effects on lives around the world.

In this course, you'll not only experience the sites themselves, but you'll also gain rich lessons in the history and culture related to the sites. You'll learn about the creation of the sites and, in many cases, about the symbiotic connection between a natural landscape and its human inhabitants.

As an example, you'll visit two mountains of sublime aesthetic beauty, Mount Tai and Mount Emei in China, whose peaks have drawn Buddhist, Daoist, and Confucian pilgrims for centuries. In exploring these treasured landscapes, you'll witness how the trails that take you up to the mountain peaks are adorned with a remarkable array of sacred architecture-temples, shrines, pavilions, staircases, and monumental poetic inscriptions-and are deeply linked with devotional ritual.

TTC - African American History: From the African Coast to the Civil War
Released 2/2024
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 24 Lessons ( 12h 30m ) | Size: 10.4 GB

The history of the United States is inextricably linked to the terrible legacy of slavery. Even before the colonies revolted against England and were consolidated into a nation, enslaved Africans were a crucial part of the story. The legacies of slavery and abolition are still felt keenly today as African Americans have faced significant obstacles to obtaining the fundamental rights of freedom and citizenship. The consistent struggle among African Americans to gain their human rights lives at the heart of the American experiment in democracy.

The story of the Black freedom struggle begins in the colonial and antebellum eras when the vast majority of African Americans lived as enslaved people. A rigorous look at these times reveals vital facts that run contrary to many common conceptions of the past

We tend to think of the Northern United States as a region that was opposed to slavery, but in fact, slavery was first made legal in Massachusetts. New England was long a thriving hub of the trade in humans, and free African Americans faced extreme anti-Black violence in the North throughout the era of slavery.
Far from the passive victims they have often been portrayed as in media and in pro-slavery propaganda, enslaved Africans Americans fought for their freedom from the earliest days of slavery, leveraging the legal system through multiple and ongoing lawsuits contesting the legality of slavery and petitioning for justice and equal treatment under the law.
During the era of slavery there were numerous armed uprisings by the enslaved against slaveholders, extending from the colonial era through the decades before the Civil War.
What finally gave victory to the Union in the Civil War was not Northern military successes, but the collapse of the Confederacy due to the mass exodus of enslaved African Americans from their places of forced labor.
In African American History: From the African Coast to the Civil War, you'll take a deep and penetrating look at the role that African Americans have played in building our nation and in the unfolding of the American democratic system. Taught by esteemed historian Professor Leslie Alexander of Rutgers University, these 24 engrossing lectures bring to light incisive and highly revealing perspectives on African Americans and their integral participation in our national life across 400 years.

As you will see, no understanding of the United States and its history could be remotely complete without an appreciation of the lives, the contribution, and the historical challenges of African Americans.

Lives of Severe Hardship and Fierce Commitment

You'll begin your look at the long era of slavery with an examination of how people from Western Africa were sold into bondage by European powers, and the unspeakable inhumanity of the transatlantic trade in humans and the slavery system in North America. As a central feature of the course, you'll learn how enslaved African Americans lived under that system.

But there are two other major themes to explore, which bring alive the extraordinary richness and complexity of this story. First, you'll discover how enslaved African Americans created meaningful lives in the face of their circumstances, retaining and assimilating their cultural heritage, resisting the oppression of slaveholders, and creating a myriad of ways to cope and endure in the face of enslavement. Secondly, you'll vividly witness how African Americans, both enslaved and free, worked tirelessly for liberty and justice throughout the entire era of enslavement, making use of every available resource-political, legal, intellectual, theological, and social-in an unending pursuit of freedom and human rights.

Owing to its treatment of slavery and racism, this course contains material that some may find shocking. Professor Alexander does not shy away from the truth, describing the suffering and hardships that African Americans have endured without looking away. Through the story of their enslavement and unrelenting battle for freedom, she demonstrates, with tremendous poignancy, how African Americans held this nation's feet to the flames-compelling US citizens to come to grips with the country's founding principles of liberty and equality.

A Crucible of Rights and Justice

A magnetic storyteller, Professor Alexander delivers the lectures as a multilayered historical narrative, leading from the origins of the European trade in humans in the 15th century to the harrowing events of the 1860s, when the conflicts surrounding slavery erupted into civil war. Within this epic story, you'll explore

The American System of Slavery. Across six lectures, investigate the complex civilizations of West Africa, the rise of European expansionism, the origins of the transatlantic trade in humans, the brutality and inhumanity of the slave trade, the horrors of the sea journey of the enslaved to the Americas, and how slavery took root in colonial American society.
Living in the Face of Bondage. Learn how enslaved Africans endured through maintaining their culture and religious practices, traditional medicine, music, dance forms, and through developing new kinds of social bonds; travel into enslaved life on rural plantations; and take stock of the horrific cruelty as well as the legal disenfranchisement that undergirded the slavery system.
The Culture of Resistance. Assess the spectrum of ways in which enslaved Africans worked against the system of enslavement, such as bringing and winning "freedom suits" in courts, setting legal precedents against slavery, mounting armed rebellions, developing a "liberation theology," deceiving and undermining slaveholders, protecting each other from harm, and more.
An Imperfect Freedom. Examine how emancipation took place in the North and study its aftermath; learn how newly thriving Black communities were stymied by pervasive white hostility, restriction of economic opportunity, denial of voting rights, and significant violence, leading to movements of Black nationalism and emigration.
Abolition and the Abolitionists. Follow the work of both Black and white abolitionists in the antislavery movements that grew in the antebellum era; learn how Black activists used the power of the written word to critically influence the current of opinion; and study the work of Black abolitionists David Walker, Maria Stewart, Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and others.
The Fracturing of a Nation. Relive the deepening economic and political controversies over slavery that bitterly divided the North and South; learn about the role of the Union's Black soldiers in turning the tide of the Civil War; assess the draft-related mob violence against Black people in New York City, and the effects of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Breaking the Chains

Throughout African American History: From the African Coast to the Civil War, Professor Alexander brings rich dimensions to the narrative by her detailed evocation of historical moments and exploration of individual lives. Within the lectures, you'll hear the stories of

the capture and enslavement of future activist Olaudah Equiano;
the guerilla army of colonial-era freedom fighter Colonel Tye;
the legal battle of Northern segregation protester Elizabeth Jennings;
the daring work of passionate abolitionist Henry Highland Garnet;
the heartrending ordeal of courageous fugitive Margaret Garner;
the military espionage of legendary activist Harriet Tubman; and many more.
As revealed in these richly informative lectures, the story of African Americans reflects the loftiest ideals, the most troubling challenges, and the gravest wrongs of American society. African American History: From the African Coast to the Civil War reveals the measure of a people of unbreakable spirit, and of the deepest human dimensions of American democracy.

TTC - Warping Reality: Inside the Psychology of Cults
Released 10/2024
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 12 Lessons ( 6h 15m ) | Size: 5.23 GB

Many of us have a deep, personal drive to seek inner fulfillment. We want to grow as individuals, explore our own potential, and make an important and lasting contribution to the world. It's easy to run into groups that promise to help us along the way, and some of these groups are sincere. When a group, or even a charismatic individual, promises to help us meet our goals but then corrupts our good intentions for their own gain-when they exploit people in an organized fashion-that's when the situation turns into something destructive. That's when you may have become a member of a cult. And it can happen much more easily than you might think.

In the 12 fascinating lectures of Warping Reality: Inside the Psychology of Cults, you will learn about some of the most widely known cults of modern times. But unlike any standard news reporting or documentary about groups like The Peoples Temple, the Manson "Family," the Branch Davidians, Heaven's Gate, Children of God, Unification Church, or NXIVM, your expert, Dr. Wind Goodfriend, will help you explore the psychology of these cults. How could these cult leaders have committed such heinous crimes under the guise of "helping" members in their development? And why is it so easy for cults to bring people into the fold?

There are thousands of cults in existence right now, so working to understand how cults operate-and why even skeptical, well-informed people can fall prey to their promises-is a crucial undertaking for the sake of your safety and that of your loved ones.

Meeting Former Cult Members

In this course, you will not only learn about cults, but you will also meet two former cult members who are willing to share their stories. They explain what led them to join these groups, what they had hoped to get from the groups versus the reality, and why they each stayed for over a decade before walking away.

You'll meet Alexandra Amor, author of the award-winning Cult, A Love Story, as well as numerous other books, both fiction and nonfiction. Alexandra discusses her involvement with a cult called The Circle located in British Columbia. When she joined, it seemed to be just a group of people who were all interested in spiritual growth, with a leader who could help guide Alexandra's spiritual maturation.

You'll also meet Tom Heinzen, a professor emeritus of psychology and author and coauthor of several books. Tom joined a group called Salem Acres in rural Illinois. It seemed to be a group of very loving people who were simply working the land of a rundown farm and building apartments. Alexandra and Tom eventually realized the groups they had joined were not for their benefit-not at all.

Dr. Goodfriend will introduce you to the "eight deadly sins" (identified by Robert J. Lifton) that are often used to characterize cults. These traits become more than simple bullet points or guidelines when revealed through the real-world experiences of Alexandra and Tom. The traits include

Milieu Control. This type of control involves the control of all communication within the group and also between the group and the outside world.
Demand for Purity. Cult members receive constant judgment from the cult leader and the group members. Standards of behavior are set impossibly high, with the cult leader being the only judge. Punishments are imposed when group members step over the line.
Doctrine over Person. The cult leader gaslights members to the point that they question their own instincts and perceptions, warping their own thoughts and memories.
The Psychology of Cult Leaders

Many books and documentaries have described cult leaders, but here you will dive below the surface to reach the "why" of these charismatic and destructive individuals. What is the psychological profile of a cult leader? What are the personality traits or circumstances that contribute to the cult leader's rare ability to amass a loyal following and their malevolent mindset?

Most cult leaders suffered through a traumatic childhood. For those individuals, their childhood trauma left them with a pathological need to control everything and everyone in their environment as a way of avoiding that same hurt ever again. If that pathology is combined with the ability of a master manipulator, the individual can control a large following.

When analyzing the "why" of a cult leader's behavior, you will consider three major psychological factors

Narcissistic Personality Disorder. This disorder is noted in people who have a grandiose sense of their own importance and believe they are destined for greatness. Some psychologists believe this is actually a mask for deep-seated insecurity, which could be one reason they cannot tolerate anyone questioning their authority.
Antisocial Personality Disorder. People with this disorder may behave impulsively and/or violently and may be manipulative and avoid responsibility. Both people with this disorder and narcissists can exhibit a chilling lack of empathy for others.
Psychopathology. While "psychopath" is not an official diagnosis, it is a term often used in the criminal justice system. It can include the disordered traits listed above, as well as a superficial charm. Without this key feature of superficial charm, cult leaders wouldn't be able to attract a consistent stream of new followers.
You Would Never Join a Cult . Would You?

Chances are each of us is certain we would never join a cult. We like to think that we would never be so gullible as to give up all our possessions and freedoms simply because some fake guru told us to. We would never cut all communication with our family just because a charismatic grifter said our earthly ties were destroying our spiritual ascent. We would certainly never allow our children to be sexually abused by a self-proclaimed prophet who said it was for the benefit of the group's salvation.

And yet many thousands have done these things-and worse. In 1978, more than 900 members of Jim Jones' Peoples Temple were murdered (including 300 children) or committed "revolutionary suicide" because Jim Jones told them to.

We imagine cult members to be desperate, ignorant, hopeless individuals who would follow any leader and believe any doctrine. But that is not at all what social scientists have found. Instead, they have found that people who enter a cult are from all educational levels, religions, and economic and ethnic backgrounds. As a group, they are neither desperate nor ignorant.

While a common profile of a typical cult member doesn't seem to exist, cult members do seem to have several things in common. They tend to be

Going through some type of major life transition;
"Seekers" who are looking for a purpose in life or a community to be a part of; and
Capable, industrious, and well-liked people who believe the cult will help them become a better person or help them make the world a better place.
It is not the cult members who were interested in cult membership to abuse and betray others, but it is the cult leader who has lied to, manipulated, and used their members in fraudulent and violent ways. Learning about cults, and the psychology of their leaders, is the best way to limit their ability to gain control over our communities, loved ones, and ourselves.

TTC - Big Data: How Data Analytics Is Transforming the World
Last updated 4/2024
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 24 Lessons ( 12h 37m ) | Size: 10.6 GB

Data is everywhere, shedding light on all aspects of life. Retailers know what's selling and who's buying. Pollsters test opinions on everything from candidates to consumer goods. Doctors follow their patients' vital signs. Social networks register the interactions of millions. Sensors measure the changing weather. And as athletes play, fans collect exhaustive statistics on their performance.

​

If something can be measured, then in all likelihood a vast archive of data is already being compiled-and it is growing daily. Often, the data is unprocessed, waiting for someone to analyze it and discover new, valuable knowledge about the world.

This is the role of data analytics, a powerful set of tools for making sense of datasets of all sizes-from a personal exercise log to the massive collections of "big data" that define our information age. From science to sales, from sociology to sports, data analytics is unraveling the fascinating secrets hidden in numbers, patterns, relationships, and information of every kind.

Consider these examples

Cell phone science: If you are an avid user of your cell phone, try downloading several months of your calling data. You may see daily and long-term patterns in your usage that surprise you. Plus, any changes in your routine, such as a vacation, will show up prominently.
Hardball analytics: The book and film Moneyball tell how the Oakland A's overcame one of the smallest budgets in major league baseball to assemble a division-winning team. The secret? Managers used overlooked data analytics to hire undervalued, high-performing players.
Presidential prediction: In the 2012 presidential election, statistician Nate Silver and a few others correctly predicted the winner of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Here, weighting criteria make it possible to analyze data collected by hundreds of pollsters from thousands of distinct polls.
In our age of accelerating progress in so many fields, it's easy to lose sight of the underlying innovation that makes this revolution possible. In case after case, the big breakthrough comes from data analytics, the mathematical magic that turns undigested information into life-transforming insights and advances.

Big Data: How Data Analytics Is Transforming the World introduces you to the key concepts, methods, and accomplishments of this versatile approach to problem solving. Taught by Professor Tim Chartier, an award-winning Associate Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Davidson College, these 24 half-hour lectures give you the big picture on big data, highlighting the crucial role of data analytics in today's world and the even greater impact it will have in the future.

A Course for Data Users at All Levels

You need no expertise in mathematics to follow this exciting story. Professor Chartier explains the basic computational techniques used in data analytics, but his focus is on how these ideas are applied and the amazing results they achieve. His wealth of case histories and his many helpful graphics make Big Data both accessible and entertaining. Those who will benefit from his presentation include

those in business, government, science, and other endeavors, who want a view into what data analytics can do for them;
the intellectually curious, eager to investigate the role of computing and "data scraping" in the modern-day miracles of the information age;
math enthusiasts who relish seeing a wide range of mathematical techniques address practical challenges;
those considering, or already pursuing, work with data and aspiring to explore the full scope of their remarkable field; and
anyone who relies on the Internet, smart phones, social media, or other tools that make them a participant in the data analytics revolution.

Big Data at Work

The volume, velocity, and variety of available data have increased at an astonishing rate during the last twenty years. That is to say, there are vast amounts of stockpiled data, and more is being generated constantly; the speed at which data is used, updated, and overturned in favor of newer data continues to accelerate; and data comes from many different sources and can be put to diverse uses. The miracle of data analytics is that ingenious algorithms are able to process this data deluge, which has been compared to trying to drink from a fire hose of information.

For instance, in just fifteen minutes the number of photos uploaded to Facebook exceeds the total number of photographs stored in the New York Public Library's photo archives. Yet you can see a picture on your Facebook news feed within seconds after it's posted. A high-speed computer algorithm allows the flood of imagery to be managed in a way that's both timely and orderly. Professor Chartier explains how programmers achieve such feats by focusing only on the data that's crucial to a specific task, while ignoring everything that's irrelevant.

Big Data takes you behind the scenes to witness many examples of data analysis in action, including the following

Google Flu Trends: Google search queries on flu symptoms have sometimes proved more accurate and up-to-date at plotting the spread of flu than reports issued by doctors and hospitals. Explore the pitfalls and enormous potential of Internet traffic for charting many different trends.
Online recommendations: Predictive analytics deals with forecasting the future, a task taken very seriously by companies like Netflix and Amazon that aim to predict what customers want. Learn how Netflix came up with an impressively accurate movie recommendation algorithm.
March Madness: A classic exercise in data analytics is predicting the playoff winners of the NCAA basketball tournament, held every March. Follow the system for filling the game brackets, designed by Professor Chartier, and see how it applies to many other problems.
But big data and data analytics can also be a mixed blessing. While the field has revolutionized fraud detection, making many kinds of transactions much more secure, it has the potential to threaten personal privacy in ways that can be hard to spot. In this course, you learn that one of the best defenses for privacy is to know how data is compiled and processed, and which activities are the most compromising.

A Tool for Everyone

Honored as the Mathematical Association of America's first ever Math Ambassador, Professor Chartier is a champion of the fun, challenge, and breathtaking power of mathematics-qualities that are beautifully illustrated in data analytics.

He especially relishes the links between sports and math. Not only does data analytics give you deep insight into the relative qualities of players, but it can establish a theoretical limit on performance-as when you learn how to estimate the fastest possible time for the 100-meter dash.

Professor Chartier also describes how simple analysis improved his own performance as a swimmer-which illustrates a key point: data analytics can be put to use by anybody for any problem that involves a dataset, no matter what size.

With Big Data, you discover tools that are transforming the world and that you can use to transform your own life. It's like watching a thrilling spectator sport that invites you to suit up and join the action!
