Something that I wish I would have learned at 13 is basic accounting (accrual method). Since your daughter is running a vending business, she has a great opportunity to practice accounting! Perhaps this book would be a good one for her: T

It seems that the terminology is causing some confusion. The definition of a wiki is "a website which allows its users to add, modify, or delete its content via a web browser" [1], which is pretty much the opposite of "static." I assume t

There are many programs that algorithmically generate palettes based on the HSV color space. Note that since complementary colors are calculated by hue alone (a single dimension), there is no need for optimization. Here is a web-app that I

_How To Solve It_ [1] is indeed a good book, but I think fjellfras is referring to _How To Prove It_ [2], which prepares students "to make the transition from solving problems to proving theorems." [1] http://www.amazon.com/dp/4871878309
