Die Kitsreken-reeks is ontwikkel om deur middel van oefeninge leerders se kernvaardighede in wiskunde te help verbeter en konsolideer. Die nuwe uitgawe is gegrond op die KABV en volg die kurrikulum week vir week. Die oefeninge volg mekaar trapsgewys.
Die vlak is gepas om leerders maklik te help oefen en hersien, terwyl ekstra aanlyn aktiwiteite hulle belangstelling verder prikkel.
Vir leerders is die Kitsreken-reeks 'n prettige, maklike manier om selfstandig te werk en hul vordering te toets.
Vir onderwysers wat 'n helder begrip van wiskunde moet hê, is dit 'n onmisbare hulpbron tot selfversekerdheid in die klas"
As a Royal Marine Commando, H. Collins served in Afghanistan in
2001 on combat operations. He took part in the invasion of Iraq in
2003, and returned for a second tour the following year. In 2005,
now a private security contractor, he spent five years in Ramadi
and Fallujah, Iraq’s so-called ‘triangle of death’. In 2014,
H was back in Afghanistan, providing security for the Japanese
Embassy in Kabul. In 2021, when the chaotic evacuation of the
Afghan capital began, it was a tough call for the Japanese
government to leave behind their significant investment in
Afghanistan’s future. When H finally got the go-ahead to extract
the embassy’s diplomats and staff, he was leading the only
security team remaining in a city rapidly filling with Taliban
fighters. This is an eyewitness account of the final,
fraught six days that H and his team spent in Kabul. Their first
attempt to reach the airport ran into a firefight between Afghan
government forces and the Taliban and had to be aborted to ensure
the safety of their Japanese clients. H decided on a late-night
extraction under cover of darkness, following which his small team
of twelve men were forced to speed through Taliban-controlled
checkpoints in order to get back to their HQ compound, where the
remaining ops staff and seventy-two unarmed Ghurka waited. A live
feed from a special forces drone revealed that they had been tailed
back from the airport and Taliban fighters were now surrounding the
compound. Special forces had also let them know that three of the
Taliban who had demanded a meeting in the compound had been wearing
suicide vests. Surrounded by the Taliban, for six days, H and his
men manned their defensive positions day and night. H knew that no
help would come and the Taliban’s intentions were far from clear.
If they could not make it through the increasingly chaotic city to
the now completely surrounded airport, they would inevitably be
overrun, and could expect the same fate as so many before them. Or
they could try to punch their way out of the encircled capital and
head to the border, or a Northern Alliance stronghold.
  H’s ability to keep his team calm and focused
would be key to their survival. If they made it, they would be the
last team out of Kabul.
We live in times of increasing public distrust of the main
institutions of modern society. Experts, including scientists, are
suspected of working to hidden agendas or serving vested interests.
The solution is usually seen as more public scrutiny and more
control by democratic institutions experts must be subservient to
social and political life. In this book, Harry Collins and Robert
Evans take a radically different view. They argue that, rather than
democracies needing to be protected from science, democratic
societies need to learn how to value science in this new age of
uncertainty. By emphasizing that science is a moral enterprise,
guided by values that should matter to all, they show how science
can support democracy without destroying it and propose a new
institution The Owls that can mediate between science and society
and improve technological decision-making for the benefit of all.

Recent startling successes in machine intelligence using a
technique called 'deep learning' seem to blur the line between
human and machine as never before. Are computers on the cusp of
becoming so intelligent that they will render humans obsolete?
Harry Collins argues we are getting ahead of ourselves, caught up
in images of a fantastical future dreamt up in fictional
portrayals. The greater present danger is that we lose sight of the
very real limitations of artificial intelligence and readily
enslave ourselves to stupid computers: the 'Surrender'. By
dissecting the intricacies of language use and meaning, Collins
shows how far we have to go before we cannot distinguish between
the social understanding of humans and computers. When the stakes
are so high, we need to set the bar higher: to rethink
'intelligence' and recognize its inherent social basis. Only if
machine learning succeeds on this count can we congratulate
ourselves on having produced artificial intelligence.
