In his book, Mathematical Milestones, Professor Clement Falbo, PhD, shares many of the interesting historical anecdotes about mathematics. When Archimedes invented calculus in 250 BCE, like the first snows of winter, it didn't stick, when it was reinvented in the 17th century, it did stick because of its necessity in burgeoning world-wide industrial activity. This time, Rene Descartes (1630), Pierre De Fermat (1635), Bonaventura Cavalieri (1635), Isaac Newton, and Gottfried Leibnitz (1660) and (1670) were given credit. In Falbo's book we see how new inventions, discoveries and applications in science, engineering, and economics contributed to and benefited from mathematical growth. This book allows the reader to engage in the exciting axiom-and-theorem narrative that develops complex numbers, matrices, vectors, and quaternions, all in historical contexts. Professor Falbo provides us with food for thought by hypothesizing that modern mathematics was born when Abstract Algebra was invented, and Non-Euclidean Geometry was discovered in the 1800's. -Professor Jean Chan, Mathematics Department, Sonoma State University Anyone who reads this book will discover interesting new information and fresh perspectives on well- known ideas. The brief calculus chapter by Professor Falbo is exciting and vibrant and even has a proof of the fundamental theorem.

These poems are not intended to be negative, but to shed light on the many experiences of my life. This helped me to navigate life in a therapeutic way. Some are just writings about experiences with family members, as a labor of love. However, most were written as a result of unpleasant, past experiences, which helped me to navigate life in a therapeutic way. I hope that some of them will be inspirational to others, by showing that they too can overcome or navigate emotional obstacles in their own way; mine just happened to be writing!

Book Synopsis:I'm writing this book on my life experiences regarding what I've experienced from the Spiritual Realm of Life and also to let people know they're not alone in what they experience in their life or something similar in the spiritual world. And also for those in the world that need to let them know that the spiritual world is real. There are demons here on earth sharing what comes out of those spiritual doors from the drug and alcohol life.Autobiography:I'm a black African American born in San Francisco, California. I grew up very shy and a loner. I loved sports probably because I was slow in school, so sports made me feel wanted because I was good at sports. My mother had me at a very young age, at 15 yrs of age. I grew up with 5 more brothers and sisters, a total of 3 boys and 3 sisters who were very busy at home. As far as our Spiritual Life, I was pretty much the only one going to church on Sundays when the bus came by. My parents never forced us to go, so for some reason, I would get up every Sunday and go to church. I don't know why I was going because I didn't know what the pastor was talking about, but I do know now that the word of God says, "Teach a child how he should go so when he gets older, he will not depart from there." Now I see why so into the word of God, more than my brother and sisters are. That is why my calling was different than most; I believe because I love winning souls for the kingdom of God, and that is why my battles here on earth are very serious-demoniacs battles. I mean, my God has plans to prosper me and not harm me. So I carry only faith in God and not fear. For fear is of the devil.

In his book, Mathematical Milestones, Professor Clement Falbo, PhD, shares many of the interesting historical anecdotes about mathematics. When Archimedes invented calculus in 250 BCE, like the first snows of winter, it didn't stick, when it was reinvented in the 17th century, it did stick because of its necessity in burgeoning world-wide industrial activity. This time, Rene Descartes (1630), Pierre De Fermat (1635), Bonaventura Cavalieri (1635), Isaac Newton, and Gottfried Leibnitz (1660) and (1670) were given credit. In Falbo's book we see how new inventions, discoveries and applications in science, engineering, and economics contributed to and benefited from mathematical growth. This book allows the reader to engage in the exciting axiom-and-theorem narrative that develops complex numbers, matrices, vectors, and quaternions, all in historical contexts. Professor Falbo provides us with food for thought by hypothesizing that modern mathematics was born when Abstract Algebra was invented, and Non-Euclidean Geometry was discovered in the 1800's. -Professor Jean Chan, Mathematics Department, Sonoma State University Anyone who reads this book will discover interesting new information and fresh perspectives on well- known ideas. The brief calculus chapter by Professor Falbo is exciting and vibrant and even has a proof of the fundamental theorem. A unique feature of this book is the way Clem traces the history of Game Theory and Operations Research from Jiuzhan Suanshu (300 BCE) in China to Seki Kawa (1683 CE) in Japan to Gauss and Jordan in Germany in the 19th Century all the way to Von Neumann, Morgenstern, and Dantzig in the 20th Century. His Chapters on matrix applications and operations research provide a readily accessible introduction to the powerful Simplex Algorithm. We can see where artificial intelligence originated from the sections of the book that explore logic and game theory. The chapter "A Crisis in Mathematics" in the books last section, describes how Kurt Godel, in 1931 destroyed mathematicians' dreams of having a discipline that was both comprehensive and consistent. -Professor Ken Ross, Mathematics Department, The University of Oregon
