Radiation is all around us: in the rocks under the ground, naturally in food, and raining down from outer space. Most of this radiation is natural, and some of it we use to make our lives better. This book teaches elementary age students the basics of the atom and radioactivity and shows where radiation can be found and how it can be used to improve our lives. A glossary gives definitions of key terms in the radiation and nuclear sciences. This book will teach children that: - Atoms are the building blocks of nature. - Radiation comes to us from natural and artificial sources. - Medicine and dentistry use radiation. - Too much radiation can be dangerous. - Radiation is used to give us energy, learn about dinosaurs, and understand how people lived thousands of years ago.

All engineers and applied scientists will need to harness the power of machine learning to solve the highly complex and data intensive problems now emerging.

This textbook teaches the essential background and skills for understanding and quantifying uncertainties in a computational simulation, and for predicting the behavior of a system under those uncertainties.
