This is a revision guide for GCSE Religious Studies AQA B, option 2B. The checklists at the end of the chapter highlight areas that need more revision, as well as helping students plan their work.
The significance of Muhammad. • The nature and significance of the Qur'an. • The
attributes of Allah. • The concept of tawhid. • Beliefs about life after death. • The
Five Pillars of Islam. The word 'Islam' means 'submission' or 'surrender' to Allah (
God). Followers of Islam are Muslims ('one who has surrendered to Allah'). There
are over 1 billion Muslims in the world. There are two main streams - Sunni (the
largest) and Shi'ite. beware Do not call Muslims 'Islams'. Origins Muslims believe

A synthesis of the authors' groundbreaking econometric research on automatic model selection, which uses powerful computational algorithms and theory evaluation.
Despite important differences, discovery and evaluation in economics are similar
to those of other sciences, and the same seven common aspects can be
discerned. The complexity of macroeconomic data intrinsically involves empirical
discovery with theory evaluation, as well as re- quiring rigorous evaluation of
selected models to ascertain their viability. Directly fitting a theory-specified
model limits the potential for discovery. Retrospectively, covert discovery has
been common in ...
Problem-based learning is a way of constructing and teaching courses using problems as the stimulus and focus for student activity. This edition looks at the topic in the light of changes since the first edition (1991). There are new chapters on the impact of PBL, and inquiry and action learning.

My brother, who was not quite so conscientious, demurred, thinking that, if he
must die, he would rather die of starvation. Many a hearty laugh have we had
over this and similar experiences, and during intervals of relaxation, my father
always contrived by amusing anecdotes and pleasantries to keep us in good
humor, even under circumstances which otherwise would have made us gloomy.
For those who were liable to become faint-hearted and weary, he kept □ on
hand a large ...
This two-volume work provides a comprehensive study of the statistical mechanics of lattice models. It introduces the reader to the main areas in statistical mechanics and the theory of phase transitions. The development is built on a firm mathematical and physical basis. Volume 1 contains an account of mean-field and cluster variation methods successfully used in many applications in solid-state physics and theoretical chemistry as well as an account of exact results for the Ising and six-vertex models and those derivable by transformation methods. Volume 2 includes extensive treatments of scaling theory, algebraic and real-space renormalization group methods and the eight-vertex model. It also includes an account of series methods and a treatment of dimer assemblies.

George M. Bell. 4. Algebraic Methods in Statistical Mechanics 4.1 Introduction
There are rather few models in statistical mechanics which have been solved
exactly and many of these can be formulated in vertex form (see Chap. 5 and
Baxter 1982a). In the absence of such solutions, two alternative methods of attack
have been to determine 'rigorous' conditions for the existence of phase
transitions, or bounds ...
When we procrastinate we are putting of things until tomorrow, what we can do today. When we do this it's like we are working in circles, when we are finished we end up right back in the same spot only more tired, thus killing our motivation. These tools that may help you not become a procrastinator and how to stay self motivated and have more success in the work place.
