"Flora" es una novela indigenista de Ramiro Castillo Mancilla, cuya narración, llena de elegancia y colorido, se pinta con el lenguaje natural, pero vigoroso, de los indígenas pames. Situada en las inmediaciones de la Sierra Gorda de Querétaro, colindante con la parte sur del Estado de San Luis Potosí, tierras mexicanas orgullosas de su diversidad cultural, donde el énfasis de sus expresiones toma sentido en las formas de comunicación, a veces ingenua y en ocasiones retadora, en los personajes que desfilan en la narración autóctona.

This book uses examples to explore the balance between using technology to see ourselves and allowing our machines to tell us who we are.

This textbook illuminates the field of discrete mathematics with examples, theory, and applications of the discrete volume of a polytope. The authors have weaved a unifying thread through basic yet deep ideas in discrete geometry, combinatorics, and number theory. We encounter here a friendly invitation to the field of "counting integer points in polytopes", and its various connections to elementary finite Fourier analysis, generating functions, the Frobenius coin-exchange problem, solid angles, magic squares, Dedekind sums, computational geometry, and more. With 250 exercises and open problems, the reader feels like an active participant.
