Have you ever thought about moments of time in your life that you wished you could go back? Such as carefree summer days and the joys of childhood, playing hide-and-seek and exploring the great outdoors? In his book Growing Up in Tennessee, author Timothy Hill does just that, transporting readers back to rural Tennessee in the 1970s and reminiscing on the adventures of his years from childhood to young adulthood. Growing Up in Tennessee by Timothy Hill is a memoir that shares the author's life experiences of growing up in a Southern Christian home in Decherd, Tennessee. Throughout its pages, he reflects on times with his parents and grandparents, who have since gone to heaven, and describes what it was like growing up on a farm and being part of a close-knit community through school and church. The book focuses on the faith foundation that was placed in Timothy's life through his family and church, describing attending Sunday School taught by family members and seeing the role faith played in their lives. A reminder of how importance it is to teach children about the Lord from a very young age, this faith foundation is what brought Timothy back to God and a Christian lifestyle in later years. A trip down memory lane, this book is sure to delight readers as they head back to the good ole' days! Tim Hill is from Decherd TN. He loves to read the Bible and learn about God. He enjoys fishing and relic hunting with his metal detector. He wanted to tell his stories of what it is to grow up and become a man that is molded by God.

The jargon associated with Microsoft Excel's pivot tables ("n-dimensional cross tabulations") makes them look complex, but they're really no more than an easy way to build concise, flexible summaries of long lists of raw values. If you're working with hundreds (or hundreds of thousands) of rows, then pivot tables are the best way to look at the same information in different ways, summarize data on the fly, and spot trends and relationships. This handy guide teaches you how to use Excel's most powerful feature to crunch large amounts of data, without having to write new formulas, copy and paste cells, or reorganize rows and columns. You can download the sample workbook to follow along with the author's examples.Create pivot tables from worksheet databases.Rearrange pivot tables by dragging, swapping, and nesting fields.Customize pivot tables with styles, layouts, totals, and subtotals.Combine numbers, dates, times, or text values into custom groups.Calculate common statistics or create custom formulas.Filter data that you don't want to see.Create and customize pivot charts.Unlink a pivot table from its source data.Control references to pivot table cells.Plenty of tips, tricks, and workarounds.Fully indexed and cross-referenced.Contents1.

The immense power of compound interest is such that adding a small amount of extra principal to each of your mortgage payments will result in thousands (or tens of thousands) in interest savings over the life of your loan. Using only high-school mathematics, Tim Hill provides clear and readable lessons that you can use to understand and pay down your mortgage by using Microsoft Excel (or any spreadsheet software). This entirely practical guide teaches you how to use worksheet functions, array formulas, data tables, and other spreadsheet features to manage your business and personal finances. You'll also learn the auxiliary skills needed to create and maintain financial spreadsheets: rounding numbers, date and time arithmetic, summing and counting values, and more. Plenty of examples show you how to use these tools for any type of debt or savings: mortgages, student loans, leases, credit-card debt, car payments, medical expenses, annuities, and retirement funds.

The mathematics of counting permutations and combinations is required knowledge for probability, statistics, professional gambling, and many other fields. But counting is hard. Students find it hard. Teachers find it hard. And in the end the only way to learn is to do many problems. Tim Hill's learn-by-example approach presents counting concepts and problems of gradually increasing difficulty. If you become lost or confused, then you can back up a bit for clarification. With practice, you'll develop the ability to decompose complex problems and then assemble the partial solutions to arrive at the final answer. The result: learn in a few weeks what conventional schools stretch into months.Teaches general principles that can be applied to a wide variety of problems.Avoids the mindless and excessive routine computations that characterize conventional textbooks.Treats counting as a logically coherent discipline, not as a disjointed collection of techniques.Restores proofs to their proper place to remove doubt, convey insight, and encourage precise logical thinking.Omits digressions, excessive formalities, and repetitive exercises.Provides exceptional preparation for probability and statistics courses.Includes problems (with all solutions) that extend your knowledge rather than merely reinforce it.Contents1.

Can a set be a member of itself? How do we know that the square root of 2 is irrational? Can a graph really represent a function accurately? Is a function just a rule? Does canceling (crossing out) terms mask important algebraic properties? This entirely practical book is for the student who wants a complete command of the prerequisite material on the first day of calculus class.Success in calculus depends on having a reasonable command of all that went before, yet most precalculus students are taught only simple tools and techniques, leaving them with a superficial understanding of problem-solving. Tim Hill explains why things are true and encourages students to go beyond merely memorizing ways of solving a few problems to pass exams.Teaches general principles that can be applied to a wide variety of problems.Avoids the mindless and excessive routine computations that characterize conventional textbooks.Treats the subject as a logically coherent discipline, not as a disjointed collection of techniques.Restores proofs to their proper place to remove doubt, convey insight, and encourage precise logical thinking.Omits digressions, excessive formalities, and repetitive exercises.Provides exceptional preparation for a calculus course.Includes problems (with all solutions) that extend your knowledge rather than merely reinforce it.Contents1.

Ready to step up your game in calculus? This workbook isn't the usual parade of repetitive questions and answers. Author Tim Hill's approach lets you work on problems you enjoy, rather than through exercises and drills you fear, without the speed pressure, timed testing, and rote memorization that damage your experience of mathematics. Working through varied problems in this anxiety-free way helps you develop an understanding of numerical relations apart from the catalog of mathematical facts that's often stressed in classrooms and households. This number sense, common in high-achieving students, lets you apply and combine concepts, methods, and numbers flexibly, without relying on distant memories.Solutions to basic problems are steeped in the fundamentals, including notation, terminology, definitions, theories, proofs, physical laws, and related concepts.Advanced problems explore variations, tricks, subtleties, and real-world applications.Problems build gradually in difficulty with little repetition. If you get stuck, then flip back a few pages for a hint or to jog your memory.Numerous pictures depicting mathematical facts help you connect visual and symbolic representations of numbers and concepts.Treats calculus as a problem-solving art requiring insight and intuitive understanding, not as a branch of logic requiring careful deductive reasoning.Discards the common and damaging misconception that fast students are strong students. Good students aren't particularly fast with numbers because they think deeply and carefully about mathematics.Detailed solutions and capsule reviews greatly reduce the need to cross reference a comprehensive calculus textbook.Topics covered: The tangent line. Delta notation. The derivative of a function. Differentiable functions. Leibniz notation. Average and instantaneous velocity. Speed. Projectile paths. Rates of change. Acceleration. Marginal cost. Limits. Epsilon-delta definition. Limit laws. Trigonometric limits. Continuity. Continuous functions. The Mean Value Theorem. The Extreme Value Theorem. The Intermediate Value Theorem.
