Nimona meets Paper Girls with a literary twist in this wickedly funny graphic novel about a teenager who is swept up in a strange new universe and must save it from an all-consuming evil in order to return home. One dark and stormy night, Haley sees a stranger drowning in the river. Since her greatest passion is Gothic romance novels, she knows her moment has come. But when Haley leaps into the water to rescue the stranger, she awakens in Willowweep. It certainly looks like the setting of one of her favorite books: A stately manor. A sinister housekeeper. Three brooding brothers. There’s even a ghost. Except Willowweep is not what it seems. Its romantic exterior hides the workings of a pocket universe—the only protection our world has against a great force of penultimate evil, and its defenses are crumbling. Could cruel fate make Haley the heroine that Willowweep needs?

All the Mathematics you Missed [ But need to know for Graduate School] , Thomas A. Garrity

As for general hints for helping sort out some mathematical field, certainly one should always, when faced with a new definition, try to find a simple example and a simple non-example. A non-example, by the way, is an example that almost, but not quite, satisfies the definition. But beyond finding these examples, one should examine the reason why the basic definitions were given. This leads to a split into two streams of thought for how to do mathematics. One can start with reasonable, if not naive, definitions and then prove theorems about these definitions. Frequently the statements of the theorems are complicated, with many different cases and conditions, and the proofs are quite convoluted, full of special tricks. The other, more mid-twentieth century approach, is to spend quite a bit of time on the basic definitions, with the goal of having the resulting theorems be clearly stated and having straightforward proofs. Under this philosophy, any time there is a trick in a proof, it means more work needs to be done on the definitions. It also means that the definitions themselves take work to understand, even at the level of figuring out why anyone would care. But now the theorems can be cleanly stated and proved. In this approach the role of examples becomes key. Usually there are basic examples whose properties are already known. These examples will shape the abstract definitions and theorems. The definitions in fact are made in order for the resulting theorems to give, for the examples, the answers we expect. Only then can the theorems be applied to new examples and cases whose properties are unknown.

Is now the best time to sell your house in #NorthPark? Bryan Garrity explains.

Owning a home in #SanDiego, as in a few other highly desirable cities around the country is always a great investment. Who doesn’t want to live in America’s Finest City? But the question that many owners ask themselves with the market’s current state of being “frothy” as Bryan calls it, is should I sell now to get top dollar or hold out a while longer?
