Elearning online from Apple iTunes

The inventors of apple are now thinking beyond from the computers to music industry, ebooks and elearning. iTunes is the companies new platform for launching fresh contents to the customers of iPhone, iPod. iPad has an unique learning system that are available to the public at free of cost.

Apple have now collaborated with the Ivy League schools and universities to provide free courses through the iTunes U sites. The leading ones in this list are Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Cambridge, Harvard, and Princeton.

Top universities around the globe have appreciated the quality of the program from the beginning itself. Shortly after the launch of iTunes U sites, HEC Paris chiped in with apple as an experiment and provided the iPod Touches to fresh MBA students. This made easy for the students as the lectures were recorded and uploaded to the iTunes U site where itcan be downloaded. The experiment was a huge success. Extravagant questions could be avoided to the lecturers and the performance of the students in the presentations was improved a lot as they can view their performances on the iPod

Together with the universities,others like Libraries, museums, traditional and alternative media enjoyed the benefits and advantages of  iTunes U. The site also included pd files, films, video clips, audio books, presentations, and other course materials. The contents have been grouped to 13 sections as :

 Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Society, and Teaching ,Business, Engineering, Fine Arts, Health and Medicine, History, Humanities, Language,Literature and Education.

Thousands of course materials are available to the students. For the exclusive internal contents of the site students are provided with a password to open from the university’s virtual academic community. Those students who are interested in Elearning can have access to the site at anytime. All you have to do is download the  iTunes software for free and register in your profile and be prepared to download the contents provided on your apple device.

Podcasts and video casts are the main features of iTunes and include all the subjects for free with best quality and reliability of the contents. More than 600 universities are reported in participating in this phenomena and enjoying more than 250,000 lectures available for download.

iTunes meets the standards in online Elearning as it is user friendly and have a wide number of references.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Computer science in sport is an interdisciplinary discipline that has its goal in combining the theoretical as well as practical aspects and methods of the areas of informatics and sport science. The main emphasis of the interdisciplinarity is placed on the application and use of computerbased but also mathematical techniques in sport science, aiming in this way at the support and advancement of theory and practice in sports. The reason why computer science has become an important partner for sport science is mainly connected with the fact that the use of data and media, the design of models, the analysis of systems etc. increasingly requires the support of suitable tools and concepts which are developed and available in computer science.

Science in the Age of Computer Simulation


Science in the Age of Computer Simulation


$24


Computer simulation was first pioneered as a scientific tool in meteorology and nuclear physics in the period following World War II, but it has grown rapidly to become indispensible in a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including astrophysics, high-energy physics, climate science, engineering, ecology, and economics. Digital computer simulation helps study phenomena of great complexity, but how much do we know about the limits and possibilities of this new scientific practice? How do simulations compare to traditional experiments? And are they reliable? Eric Winsberg seeks to answer these questions in Science in the Age of Computer Simulation . Scrutinizing these issue with a philosophical lens, Winsberg explores the impact of simulation on such issues as the nature of scientific evidence; the role of values in science; the nature and role of fictions in science;&#160;and the relationship between simulation and experiment, theories and data, and theories at different levels of description. Science in the Age of Computer Simulation will transform&#160;many&#160;of the core issues in philosophy of science, as well as our basic understanding of the role of the digital computer in the sciences.

The Invocation Model of Process Expression argues that mathematics does not provide the most appropriate conceptual foundations for computer science, but, rather, that these foundations are a primary source of unnecessary complexity and confusion.&#160; It supports that there is a more appropriate conceptual model that unifies forms of expression considered quite disparate and simplifies issues considered complex and intractable.&#160; This book presents that this model of process expression is alternative theory of computer science that is both valid and practical.

 More is Different: Fifty Years of Condensed Matter Physics


More is Different: Fifty Years of Condensed Matter Physics


$15.29


This book presents articles written by leading experts surveying several major subfields in Condensed Matter Physics and related sciences. The articles are based on invited talks presented at a recent conference honoring Nobel laureate Philip W. Anderson of Princeton University, who coined the phrase More is different while formulating his contention that all fields of physics, indeed all of science, involve equally fundamental insights. The articles introduce and survey current research in areas that have been close to Anderson’s interests. Together, they illustrate both the deep impact that Anderson has had in this multifaceted field during the past half century and the progress spawned by his insights. The contributors cover numerous topics under the umbrellas of superconductivity, superfluidity, magnetism, electron localization, strongly interacting electronic systems, heavy fermions, and disorder and frustration in glass and spin-glass systems. They also describe interdisciplinary areas such as the science of olfaction and color vision, the screening of macroions in electrolytes, scaling and renormalization in cosmology, forest fires and the spread of measles, and the investigation of NP-complete problems in computer science. The articles are authored by Philip W. Anderson, Per Bak and Kan Chen, G. Baskaran, Juan Carlos Campuzano, Paul Chaikin, John Hopfield, Bernhard Keimer, Scott Kirkpatrick and Bart Selman, Gabriel Kotliar, Patrick Lee, Yoshiteru Maeno, Marc Mezard, Douglas Osheroff et al., H. R. Ott, L. Pietronero et al., T. V. Ramakrishnan, A. Ramirez, Myriam Sarachik, T. Senthil and Matthew P. A. Fisher, B. I. Shklovskii et al., and F. Steglich et al.
