What are the ways of saving money spent on marriage? We currently cannot afford to spend too much because of his education loan
Two articles that might help you with your marriage planning !! 1. The Un-Traditional WeddingA Thank You to My Daughter for Her Untraditional Wedding — The Billfold When I gave birth to boy-girl twins over 27 years ago, I didn’t think about the double cost of the miraculous event. My immediate feelings as I held these two beautiful beings were of complete joy and all-encompassing love. It was the kind of love that would persuade a mother to do anything for her kids — step in front of a moving vehicle, run into a burning building, donate a kidney, or spend lots of hard-earned money to keep them happy and healthy. The twins challenged our family economically because they required double the amount of diapers, clothes, and toys, and then as they grew older, double the cell phones, laptops, college tuition, and cars. Having these now grown-up children in my life was — and still is — worth every penny we spent on them. Being a mother and friend to my children has been priceless.When my grown daughter announced she was engaged, I immediately pictured her in a beautiful white gown smiling at her new husband. I imagined her dancing with her dad during the traditional father-daughter dance. My vision included all our extended families dancing and sending congratulatory proclamations to my daughter and her new husband, and we were prepared to help make her wedding dreams come true. Teary-eyed, I put the thought aside, and waited to hear what the newly engaged couple wanted for their wedding day.Soon after her announcement, I received an e-mail invitation to a “Barbecue Wedding.” What? No official wedding invitations? The dress is casual, the invitation said. Casual? I read on. Please bring a dish? No filet mignon, or stuffed chicken? I don’t get to stress over shopping for a mother of the bride dress, or my hair? There would be no bridesmaids, no maid of honor, no walk down an aisle, and no father-daughter dance. I was stunned. Why was my sweet baby girl breaking all the traditions? I became teary-eyed with the realization that I would never go shopping with my daughter to find “the dress,” and I wouldn’t see her dance with her father in that dress before she took off for her honeymoon with her new husband.Just to give you some background, my husband and I have a history of being fiscally conservative. We know the importance of keeping enough money in a savings account in case of a sudden illness or job loss. Our family experienced the challenge of both, and gratefully got through them without too many scars. We pay off our credit cards every month, have been on just a few vacations and are dedicated hard working employees. Simply, we are not filthy rich but we are not poor. We were prepared to make our daughter’s wedding day dreams come true.As our conversations continued over the next few months, I learned that the goal of the barbecue would be to focus the day on food, family and friends, and to hang out and enjoy each other’s company, while the ceremony would be secondary. I learned that my daughter and her future husband would be returning to the old-fashioned way of simply letting everyone know that they decided to commit themselves to each other. The party would be held in her fiancé’s small city backyard, and there would not be enough room to invite all of our extended family. My daughter and son-in-law said that they didn’t want anyone to stress out, or for anyone to spend a lot of money to travel from a distance for “just a backyard barbecue.” I came to the conclusion that my child’s mind was taken over by an alien force.The barbecue wedding day came, and it was sunny and beautiful. Since guests were all volunteering to bring food, drinks and supplies, I signed up for paper plates, napkins, cups and silverware (plastic of course). I made chocolate cupcakes stuffed with chocolate chip cookie dough, which was topped with vanilla icing and decorated with a beautiful pink handmade flower. There was brisket that had been cooking for hours and hours, lots of gorgeous salads, side dishes, and specialty drinks made with champagne and liquor. A homemade wedding cake was decorated with yellow icing and the words of the couple’s favorite activities. My daughter dressed in her favorite brown and blue flowered sundress, which was a previous gift from her fiancé. Her husband-to-be was decked out in jeans and his favorite faded college t-shirt. There were no special clothes. The guests were dressed in everything from T-shirts and shorts to short fancy dresses. Several male guests wore Hawaiian shirts with jackets over them.I’d like to thank my daughter for her nontraditional wedding. Once I let go of my expectation of a traditional wedding experience, my daughter’s wedding day turned out to be one of the most fun days I’ve had. My daughter’s and her husband’s friends are some of the most incredibly wonderful and fun people I have ever met. The whole laid back attitude of the day was incredible — there was bocce, planking, great conversations and lots of amazing food and drinks. The homemade brisket, salads, specialty drinks and fabulous desserts would have easily cost $100 a person at a restaurant. The ceremony was heartwarming and funny. It was a good learning experience for people like me who are accustomed to traditional weddings — it showed that two people who love each other and decide to get married don’t have to throw a big, expensive party. They can do it in the comfort of their own backyard without breaking their — or their parents’! — bank.In 2011, the average wedding cost $26,501. This price can creep up to $40,000 to $100,000 depending on the venue, food, flowers, music, number of guests and the dress! Here are some of the typical costs of a wedding: $2,000 on flowers, $250 to $5,000 on a dress, $100 to $1,000 on hair and makeup, $5,000 to $10,000 for food ($50 to $150 a plate per person), $1,000 to $2,000 for a band, $1,000 for limousines, $2,500 ($25 a person) for alcohol, $1,000 for a cake, an extra $2,000 for fees, gratuity and add-ons — not to mention what that guests spend on travel, accommodations and gifts.My daughter and her husband introduced me to a simple, economical way of getting married with their backyard wedding. They showed me that a wedding day doesn’t need to be what society has made us think it needs to be. They still committed to a life full of love, and they saved a bundle of money they’ll be able to use to enjoy their future.If you want to support the wedding business and all those that work in the industry, go for the big expensive soup to nuts wedding with all the fixings. Everyone loves a big classy party. All those vendors and employees will thank you. But I believe my daughter and husband are still thankful to this day for the surprise check they received from my husband and me (plasticware and cupcakes were just not enough of a wedding gift!).So, if you get an e-mail invitation to a backyard barbecue wedding, jump with joy — your loved ones are fiscally brilliant. Love and commitment doesn’t change whether or not you have a $1,000 party, or a $100,000 party. 2. Ways To Save Money On Your Wedding33 Insanely Smart Ways To Save Money On Your Wedding 1. Don’t get married on a Saturday.“We moved our wedding to a Friday (originally planned for Saturday) and saved a few thousand dollars by doing so.” —Kim Ryba White, Facebook“We got married on a Sunday and they offered a 15% discount. It was a holiday weekend so many had off from work on Monday — it worked out really well!” —Ashley Fizzarotti, Facebook“We got married on a Wednesday, completely nontraditional, so we saved an incredible amount! Easily a couple thousand.” “We had our wedding on Wednesday, July 3. Everyone was off the next day and our wedding began at 6 p.m. so some came right after work.” —Dee Clifford-Bremner, Facebook2. Take your time.“Having a two-year engagement has saved us a ton of money! We booked our venue and caterer super early so the prices would not go up. We have been able to do a ton of research on what places/vendors are the least expensive without sacrificing quality. We saved a lot of money on save the dates and invites by waiting for deals to be emailed to us. It’s also nice because we had four birthdays, two Christmases, and two years worth of tax returns between the time we got engaged and our wedding.” —Alexis Ziegenfuss, Facebook“I literally spent hours googling wedding venues, and I had what my now-husband calls a crazed look in my eyes and a notebook of stress, but it was worth it in the end.A little research before touring places can help you avoid falling in love with a venue you can’t afford.” —Meghan Thibodeau, Facebook3. Get married right at the end of the off-season.“My hubby and I got married a week before peak season started. So we had nice weather but cheaper prices!” The Venue4. Find a venue that doesn’t require you to use their vendors.“My best wedding saving tip is to find a venue that doesn’t require you to use a particular caterer/bartender/DJ. I saved so much money by being able to select my caterer ($1,300 for service for 100), bartender ($500 for the bartender, beer, and bar necessities — we bought most of our own alcohol for $400 from a wholesale liquor store and had a full bar), DJ ($350 flat rate, and they even did our ceremony music!), and photographer ($795 for all rights to our photos, an online album for a year, and a flash-drive with all of our photos — not to mention he stayed for the entire day, 3 p.m. to after 12 a.m.)! I ended up paying $3,345, when I would’ve paid $10,700 for those things ($4,000 for catering, $4,000 for the bar, $700 for four hours of a DJ, and $2,000 for photographer) at the other venue I was considering. I saved $7,355 for just picking another venue.” —Lyndsey Gallian Thompson, Facebook5. Rent a house for the wedding and for lodging.“We rented a house, which tripled as wedding venue, housing for out of state wedding party participants, and secluded honeymoon venue the following week.(Off-season is a great time for a romantic getaway in a vacation destination.)” “We rented a huge vacation home and had a house party! It was low-key, intimate, yet still was major cause of celebration. Hiring a caterer with a kick-butt menu to do a party was so much better than a sit-down meal. We didn’t even do tables — lots of bar tops and existing comfy furniture for perching. We also were able to have our entire bridal party stay in the bedrooms of the house, cutting their expenses too.” 6. Have your ceremony and reception in the same place.“We had the ceremony and the reception in the same room. The guests sat at their tables during the ceremony and were able to start the cocktail/appetizer hour immediately after the ceremony while we took pictures. This saved on transporting the bridal party — no limos, less time restraints, and out-of-town guests didn’t have to worry about getting lost.” —Heather Watkins Imani, Facebook“Got married in a hotel. The flowers from the hall were carried through into the dining space and nobody needed transport to the reception. Since a lot of guests stayed in the hotel, the management cut us a deal with the food.” —Emma McGregor, Facebook7. Consider getting married on campus.“I work at a college with a beautiful dining hall, so we got married there, and they gave me an amazing discount on the venue!” —Kayce Taylor, Facebook“Aunt #1 worked at a university, so we looked at locations on the very picturesque campus for Aunt #2, who got a huge discount because of the staff connection. If you know anybody who works at a university, park, whatever, check with them to see if they can swing something like that for you. You can get some GORGEOUS locations simply by putting out a call and seeing who knows what.” —Kaitlin Kelly, Facebook8. Have your reception at a restaurant.“After an exhaustive search, I realized that getting married at a fancy restaurant was our most affordable option. Instead of paying $1,000 or more (sometimes much more) to rent a space and then bring everything in, I had to buy only food and alcohol. The room, furniture, linens, lighting, beautiful decor, dishes, silverware, fancy display items, etc., were all included. So much cheaper than renting a space and having to bring in everything from forks to outhouses.” 9. Get married at the courthouse.*“We had a courthouse wedding and a family and ‘friends like family’-only reception. Having the wedding at the courthouse was so much easier because they guide you through all the paperwork so there is absolutely no confusion. It also took the pressure off of having to create a fairy tale for everyone to watch me. We put more effort into the reception and it was beautiful.” —Rachel Luttrell, Facebook“Have a courthouse wedding! More money for the honeymoon and less stress before the big day! That’s how we did ours and I remember being excited but not stressed out about anything.” *A courthouse wedding doesn’t have to feel like a trip to the DMV; you can still wear a fancy dress and invite a decent amount of guests! Look for historic courthouses in your state — the buildings are often gorgeous but they are still budget-friendly.The Food & Drink10. Don’t serve a sit-down dinner.“We had a small ceremony at our hometown church, went back to our place for cake, champagne, and gifts, and then went to a local bar in our wedding clothes and didn’t have to pay for anything all night!” —Amanda Weber, Facebook“Instead of having a dinner, I held an evening wedding and served hors d’oeuvres, saving another $1,000 at least.” —Emily Olson, Facebook11. Think beyond chicken and fish.“I saved thousands by having a guy roast a hog and having a friend make sides only. The guy who roasted the hog did so at his place of business and brought the pulled pork to the hall with different sauces already on the pork. Pulled pork on jalapeño rolls, green beans with almonds, cheesy smashed potatoes, and cornbread for my country-chic theme. We had 250 guests for less than $2,000! I still have people talk about how good my wedding food was!” “We had a local club make fried chicken and we made our own sides. We had a bonfire in our backyard after with wine and beer.” —Christina Waugh, Facebook“We got creative with our food. We had BBQ from an amazing local BBQ joint and were able to feed all 110 guests for $600.” —Emily Erker Szucs, Facebook“We had a baked potato bar. Potatoes are cheap, so we were able to get a lot of toppings for variety. My parents are wonderful and helped prepare the food and set it up. I also made a small cake for the cutting, and we got a sheet cake from the grocery store bakery (you’re skeptical, but it was awesome — people were asking where we got it) to serve guests. No catering bill. (And frankly, it tasted way better!)” —Susan Marie Cole, Facebook12. Fake your wedding cake.“Fondant and tiered cakes are insanely expensive. Have a baker make a fake cardboard and decorated cake with the top layer (and smallest) real for cutting and the rest just pretty for decoration. Then have basic sheet cakes in the back for the caterers to cut and serve to your guests.” —Mary Brylski, Facebook“Have a small cake or make some of the bottom tiers a facade (ice and decorate a styrofoam wheel), and serve cut sheet cake pieces from the back.” —Whitney Williams, Facebook13. Don’t feel like you HAVE to have a wedding cake.“We decided to have a milk-and-cookie bar at our December wedding! As opposed to serving cake to our 250 guests at $2.50 a slice, we bought 300 cookies (chocolate chip, sugar, etc.) from the bakery at a local grocery store and then had drink dispensers filled with white and chocolate milk. My husband and I then cut a cupcake for our cake cutting. It was a huge hit and cost half the price!” —Clare Bogle, Facebook“Skip the cake. Your guests just want a nice dessert. Quality is key. They want sweet and they want it right after dinner.” —Teri Staub, Facebook“We had mini pies enough for each guest to have two for about $350… I talked to friends who have recently been married and scoured local bridal blogs and talked to all of my vendors to find a pie lady who worked out of her house. She rocked and we didn’t have ANY left over.” —Emily Erker Szucs, Facebook14. Don’t offer endless alcohol options.“We got two kegs from a great local brewery and had one ‘signature’ cocktail, that’s it.” “Do not have liquor at the reception! Trust me… As someone who plans weddings for a living, beer and wine is the way.” The Decor & Flowers15. Choose a venue that doesn’t need much decor.“We are having our ceremony and reception at the same venue. It used to be an old National Guard Armory; new owners came in and renovated it beautifully, which saves on decorating costs since the venue is so amazing.” “We were married at the water reclamation plant — only a couple hundred dollars and a beautiful Japanese garden for pictures!” “We were married 10 years ago in a beautiful hall with a garden courtyard; it was built by a Rockefeller as an ornate bank in the early 1920s — the ceremony was in the courtyard and reception inside. The courtyard had a beautiful garden, so no decoration needed except for some ribbon on the archway we married under.” You could also get married in December, when a lot of venues will already be decorated beautifully for the holidays.16. Consider doing your own flowers. (Yes, it’s possible.)“If you’re crafty, or know someone who is, do your own flowers. This will save you thousands! Our entire floral budget was $250, and we ordered from Wholesale Flowers, Wedding Flowers, Bulk Flowers | FiftyFlowers.com. We used red ranunculus and white garden roses, and that made seven bouquets, 10 boutonnieres, and all the table flowers. We picked greenery out of my backyard for filler. We purchased small colored bud vases from Hobby Lobby when they went 50% off and stacked them on top of wooden rounds (my husband’s grandfather made them instead of purchasing) and old books.” “My mother-in-law and her friend bought the flowers from a local flower wholesales, and made all the bouquets, button holes, and decorations.” —primandpropa“We did potted plants in Mason jars as centerpieces instead of flowers from a florist! Centerpieces for 10 tables was $20 total instead of $20 per table.” —jessicaa4ce278f9b17. Don’t have real flowers. (Yes, it’s possible.)“I’m making our bouquets and bouts out of fabric flowers (that I also made); you can keep them forever and have ANY color or pattern you want!” —kassyh4d7b0cb42“We used artificial flowers. I really wanted there to be a lot of flowers inside the church and I knew it would be crazy expensive to use real flowers. They looked great!” —mollyp4e13db336 (Hint: Afloral has beautiful, realistic-looking faux flowers!)“I learned how to make crepe-paper flowers, and used them instead of a florist. The supplies to make them cost a fraction of the amount of real flowers, they were therapeutic to make, and they will be functional long after the wedding to use, sell, or give as gifts!” —Kate Mason, Facebook18. Try an alternative to bridesmaids bouquets.“As opposed to carrying flowers down the aisle, my bridesmaids each carried a lantern! We bought neon orange and yellow ones at Kohl’s for $7, then spray-painted them silver to match our wedding colors. We also wrapped purple ribbon around the handles! My bridesmaids loved that they were able to take them home afterwards.” —Claire Bogle, Facebook19. Or don’t have flowers at all.“We skipped flowers altogether. No one missed them.” —leaho4f38c9b5e20. Get items secondhand.“I borrowed 90% of my decor from my mom’s friend’s daughter, who had gotten married a couple of years earlier. Most people getting married usually have friends, or friends of friends, who have recently gotten married too, so ask around!” —Kalie Sacco, Facebook“I went garage sale-ing for most of my decor. Mason jars, doilies, old mailboxes, milk glasses, etc. I saved thousands by decorating with the help of some friends!” —Dfox1984“An old bookstore was going out of business. With our love for reading, I thought, what better centerpiece than an antique book! Each book cost us around 15 cents.Then I painted on numbers and voilà!” —Katie Alcock, FacebookSmarter DIYRico Castillero studiocastillero.com21. Be your own DJ (or have a friend do it).“Our venue had a professional sound system built in. We literally plugged in a MacBook Pro, had a friend help us create a playlist that flowed, and danced the night away. We did arrange to have an MC present to keep things flowing.” —Emily Erker Szucs, Facebook“Our friend/bartender from the bar my husband and I met at got certified just for us and married us for free! He also DJ’ed using a sound system and my Spotify premium account.” —kelsid4eb82d05222. Create your own photo booth.“We really want a photo booth for our reception next year, but they’re obscenely expensive. Instead, we plan on putting a huge piece of butcher paper (decorated with paper flowers) on an empty wall and buying a photo booth kit, which includes fun hats, sunglasses and other accessories. You could also easily and cheaply put a kit together yourself. Guests will be able to take their own pictures with their phones! The total cost for the project will be around $50; the cheapest photo booth we could find was $500.” —Emily Christine, Facebook“We bought a Bluetooth remote and tripod for our iPad for $50 total and will be using that to take pictures for our photo booth! Also, I found that it’s so easy to make your own props with a color printer, card stock, and dowel rods.” —Brandy Ginther, Facebook23. When people offer to help, let them!“Don’t be afraid to take guests up on their offers for services in exchange for a wedding gift. A cousin did my beautiful cake and we saved big there, and it was so appreciated. My mom made the groom’s cake, just a regular red velvet, and it was awesome!” —Laura Hope Jackson, Facebook“We’ve asked our friends and family to please help on the day, take responsibility for something or join in with the bake-off instead of getting us a present. We really don’t need a set of champagne flutes, but someone making sure my granny eats would be super.” —Jemma Beedie, Facebook24. Don’t feel like you have to DIY All The Things.“Be realistic about what to DIY, and what not to DIY, because sometimes having to get all the materials yourself and spending the time on the projects costs you more than hiring someone else to make/do it.” —Andrea Jung, FacebookSave on Basically EVERYTHINGRyan Polei ryanpolei.com / Via Flickr: ryan_polei25. Utilize the grocery store.“I ordered both my flowers and cake from a grocery store. I had beautiful flowers for everyone for way less than the price of just my bouquet at a regular florist. I also had eight round cakes decorated in white that I placed roses on. I put them on different heights of cake platters.” —Y2jasmine (See how you can fancy up a grocery store cake here.)“We ordered all of our wedding flowers through the florist at the grocery store. We saved thousands of dollars and still got more flowers than I thought we would be able to afford!” —stephaniea4d15128ce26. Shop for white dresses that aren’t specifically wedding gowns.“Bought my wedding dress online from a teen prom site during off-season. The dress was amazing and cheap!” —Lucy Clay, Facebook“If you’re even just a little bit talented with a needle (or know someone who is), buy a white bridesmaid’s dress and embellish it. You could save yourself THOUSANDS and still get a beautiful, one-of-a-kind dress.” —Terri Schlichenmeyer, Facebook“Bought my dress from Macy’s and had alterations done by a very good seamstress.My friends were shocked when they learned it cost me less than $200!” —Bethany Harbison, Facebook“The dress I ordered was actually a bridesmaid dress, but instead of a blue dress with white, I flipped the colors and ordered white with blue. Beautiful dress and I saved well over 50% on it.” —Kimberly Baron Honea, Facebook27. Plan to hit big sales.“I saved a ton of money on bridesmaid gifts by shopping on Black Friday.” —Alexis Ziegenfuss, Facebook“My bridesmaids dresses were all bought around Christmas. They were just sale holiday dresses, rather than bridesmaids dresses.” —Molly Mac, Facebook“I chose colors based on the seasonal holiday directly preceding my wedding (Easter) and shopped at Michael’s for the clearance tchotchke and decor pieces.” —Michelle Katherine, Facebook28. Try to cut back on the small fees that really add up.“If you have anyone who can pick up flowers, dessert, etc., you can save a lot on delivery charges!” —oceanview“An art gallery downtown offered free table and chair setup, and the rental for tables and chairs was also included in the room fee. (Look for that — that is a major place generic reception venues really nab you!)” —Emily Erker Szucs, Facebook29. Wear a previously owned dress.“I found my dress on eBay for $40.” —amyn44a87f26c“Buying a used wedding dress from a place like Once Wed orPreOwnedWeddingDresses.com! I spent $350 on a dress that sells for $1800 in bridal stores!” —Sara Harkins, Facebook30. Check out non-wedding retailers.“I needed my wedding cake on the cheap side. So I posted on Craigslist for people to give me their cheapest price to make the small cake we were going to cut and feed each other and then cupcakes for the guests: $100 for 65 cupcakes and our cake.” —jessicab4721e304b“Check Amazon — our groomsmen had matching ties and pocket squares for $9 each and we were able to tie the dads’ stuff in too!” —alixei31. Take advantage of a credit card with good points.“We found a credit card with cash back and 0% APR for a year. This allowed us to use our gift money to pay for catering, and we saved 15% with all the cash back (about $500). Not too shabby.” —kelcicortrecht(Of course, do this only if you’re sure you can pay it off quickly without incurring interest; no one should go into debt for their wedding.)32. Sell as much as you can after the wedding.“Buy items that can be easily resold versus renting them. I purchased all my tablecloths for $10 a piece, and resold them on eBay after. Did the same thing with the burlap runners I wanted, and they both resold so easily!” —lacilace33. Know what you DON’T need.“I kept getting emails about napkins personalized with our names and picture on them. I didn’t want people wiping their faces with a picture of my face, so we decided to skip that.” —carolinenicolepPS: I guess Mandar Kamble (मंदार कांबळे) must have answered your query with that answer of marriage of Anand Bansode.

MailchimpHighlights:Black on whiteSpecial logoClearly user positioningThe slogan in white background and bold black font attract user's attention at the first glance, positioned the site itself as e-mail marketing.The gorilla image on the corner clearly shows that this landing page is created by MailChimp. The color contrast of blue registration button and white log in button stimulates users to create an account. Moreover, free is always welcomed.2. Landing Page - WebsiteHighlights:Bank cardClear business processesThis is a landing page designed in blue background by Ramotion on Dribbble. A prominent bank card shows the site's main product and services. Smooth business processes display the steps for users to apply for a bank card. The clickable point allows users to click and jump to the specific introduction at the same page.Mockplus iDoc, handoff designs with accurate specs, assets, code snippets automaticallyGet Started for FREEAs supplementary, the clickable process node and jump flow introduction enrich the presentation of the product, exposing as many details as possible for users on the same page. That is a smart design reducing the bounce rate of the landing page.3. UpworkHighlights:Clever CTA button designMotivational copywritingThe best way to design a landing page is to put the main CTA button in the first place. Obviously, Upwork makes good use of this. From their CTA design, it is easy to see that their goal is to attract businesses and freelancers to register.From the user experience point of view, the green "Post a Job" button targets on businesses, small characters, "What type of work you need?" is for freelance groups.Their copywriting is also very directional. Instead of using a rigid CTA like "Employer: register here," they use a profitable language ("Let freelancers do more work"), and then an action-oriented CTA tells the potential users to "post your work" here.4.

For readers, the key to really benefiting from this book is not only in reading it but in completing Rudin’s exercises and proofs on their own. The challenge will train them to think intuitively and effectively. This book is also known as “baby rudin” and it’s a real classic. More info.Real Analysisby N.L CarothersReview: There are many math books that go by the same straightforward title, however not many of them exude the same amount of mastery and reverence for the subject as Carothers’ does. The book is infused with enlightening historical commentary which keeps the reader engaged and helps break the stereotype of “boring math books”. The author also has an interesting custom of inserting a parenthesized “why” whenever he purposely bypasses a detail by forcing readers to figure it out themselves. While some will find this frustrating, motivated and determined students will take it as an opportunity to probe deeper and explore real analysis further than they normally might. More info.Real and Complex Analysisby Walter RudinReview: Rudin provides a solid handling of graduate level real and complex analysis. He encompasses all basic and advanced topics such as differentiation, Banach and Hilbert Spaces, Fourier analysis, etc. Readers who are familiar with Rudin can expect to see his usual writing style – elegant and concise. He goes through a standard but thorough teaching on measure theory in the first half of the book and then progresses onto an innovative study of complex analysis. He starts basic but fluidly moves towards a level that requires persistence on the reader’s part. This book (aka “big rudin” or “papa rudin”) is a masterpiece for students who are looking for a classic read on real and complex analysis. More info.A First Course in Complex Analysis With Applicationsby Dennis Zill and Patrick ShanahanReview: This book gives students an accessible introduction to the world of complex analysis and how its methods are used. A First Course in Complex Analysis is reader-friendly to the newcomer and therefore is ideal for use by both undergrads as well as graduates. For undergrads, the authors refrain from abstractness and maintain an appreciated level of transparency. While for graduates, they effortlessly fill in the gaps that many standard course texts tend to leave wide open. Each chapter is followed by a section detailing the applications of the previously discussed topic. Additionally a quick review quiz for further verification and cultivation of skills is also included with each chapter. More info.Visual Complex Analysisby Tristan NeedhamReview: Author Tristan Needham reveals the often unrealized beauty of complex analysis through a graphical perspective. He takes an elegant approach to complex analysis that will cause the reader to turn each page in awe of the insightful prose and intricate visuals. This book momentarily takes the math student’s mind off of the abstractness and conciseness that it has been raised on and transfers it to a place full of innovative approaches, but without sacrificing rigor. Readers will understand solutions through their own intuition, not memorization. Rich in math history and lively from the start, this book would make excellent study and recreational reading for the serious student. More info.Statistics BooksStatistics in Plain English, Third Editionby Timothy C. UrdanReview: Just as the title implies, the author has submitted an unequivocal and palpable exposition on statistics. Statistics in Plain English is regarded by many as the most appropriate statistics primer for undergraduates. Urdan has managed to compress everything one needs to know about statistics into a compact 250 page book that doesn’t feel hurried or unfulfilling. The text is general enough to be used in a variety of mathematical areas yet retains its comprehensiveness and accuracy. Urdan masterfully moves through essential concepts without losing the reader the way many professors would. Students harboring apprehension towards statistics will tremendously enjoy this book. More info.Introductory Statisticsby Neil A. WeissReview: Introductory Statistics will greatly increase readers’ understanding of statistics and the reasoning behind the subject. Weiss has structured the subject matter carefully and formulates his writing in a lucid and enjoyable style. He thoughtfully steers away from advanced topics as they would only serve to confuse readers who are in this elementary stage. The focus is kept on detailed explanations of the basics in a clear language that will appeal to many beginners. Some of the chapters covered include: The Nature of Statistics, Organizing Data, Descriptive Measures, Discrete Random Variables, Inferential Methods in Regression and Correlation, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). More info.Statistics, 4th Editionby David Freedman, Robert Pisani and Roger PurvesReview: This is an excellent, non-technical and simple introduction to statistics. The book is intended for lower-level students who wish to know the standard topics and methods that are included in most first statistics courses. Math students will find it easy to understand the ideas presented, while teachers and tutors will discover an engaging and highly effective way to teach statistics material. The authors provide real-life examples such as clinical trials and observational studies to help readers grasp the subject matter even better. All that is needed to learn from this book is a basic understanding of numbers and simple algebra. More info.Topology BooksIntroduction to Topology and Modern Analysisby George F. SimmonsReview: The author of this book has divided it into three sections: topology, operators, and algebras of operators. He contrives a fantastic and classical introduction to topology that targets continuity and linearity, the dominating themes. In the preface Simmons states that the goal is to illuminate these words’ meaning and their relation to each other, which is exactly what he does in the remaining pages. Self-study students will find Simmons to be a phenomenal communicator and will have no problem at all going through chapter after chapter of his writings. He clarifies deep concepts in a manner that boasts his mathematical capacity and skill while never leaving the reader behind. More info.Introduction to Topology: Third Editionby Bert MendelsonReview: Undergraduates will enjoy this introduction to the fundamentals of topology. Despite its relatively short length, this book thoroughly encompasses the basic material students are required to know. Engaging exercises and problems urge the reader’s mind to fully comprehend and absorb the material. In the first chapter, Mendelson explains set theory in an unmitigated manner which primes readers for the following chapters. Self-study enthusiasts will fall in love with the clarity and simple progress of the writing. However, despite its simplicity this book holds much contextual depth and gravity. After Mendelson’s initial introduction to topology, students will have no need for another.

What are some good businesses that can be started with a very small capital?
I recommend that anyone looking to test the entrepreneurial waters give e-commerce a start. You can actually sell goods without ever owning them.I got started with E-Commerce when I was just 13, buying custom bicycles and selling all of the parts separately.Later I realized that I could sell just about anything without owning it at all. When a customer would place an order with me, I would get their money and use it to place an order with my supplier straight to my customer’s house.The difference in price and cost is my profit to keep. This is a business model known as dropshipping.A customer places an order on my website, I then buy much cheaper from a supplier and ship the order straight to my customer’s house.Keys to success:Start with one product (or a very small niche selection, if you must). Remember, Amazon started with Books on the internet.That flagship product should cost you less than $10, and sell for $29. In my experience, $30 is the maximum strangers are willing to spend with a stranger on the internet, with no recommendations from trusted sources or other social proof.Most people stress over what they will sell. The truth is, it’s all about angle. Super generic products are totally fine, when combined with the right audience.That last point is very, very important. I’ll share an idea I had the other day to help you better understand—I recently left a job that provided a company car. I’m out on my own for the first time, and despite making more money now, I’m still stressed over losing my steady, predictable income.So, I’m driving my sister’s old Lexus SUV. I love it.Leather interior, good gas mileage, has a little more get up and go…But the ONLY audio input is a cassette player!!So, I put in a little Casette-to-Auxiliary adapter that I sell through my B2B dropship business.I connected that device to another product I sell B2B— bluetooth-to-auxiliary adapter…I connected my phone via bluetooth, and voila!! I was playing Spotify wirelessly to/through a cassette deck!To my surprise, the audio quality was actually EXCELLENT.These two devices cost $6 combined.Find out what cars only have tape/cd decks and no auxiliary, and figure out how to target owners of those cars. Sell the combo for $29.BAM. Hungry audience, fantastic margin.Craigslist? Facebook ads?I haven’t fleshed that part out yet.Go ahead, steal my idea :)

Ableton vs Sonar vs xxx? Which is the best platform for sample based music?
All DAWs have their unique differences, but they all essentially do, and are capable of doing, the same thing as far as the end result is concerned.Personally, I like working with Ableton Live for samples and midi because I’m comfortable with the interface, I know the ins and outs of the program, I like the workflow it has, and it just works for me.However, when recording actual audio, I prefer using Logic. A big reason for this is the handy feature Logic has for automatically creating take folders when recording audio. Say you’re recording a guitar part on Track 1. You set the input, arm the track, and press record and run through it once. If it doesn’t feel right or you just want options, hit record again, and Logic will let you record over the same portion of the song, but not overwriting the past recording, instead creating a folder with all the different takes that can be expanded or minimized. You can then easily pick the take you like, or “comp”[osite] different bits and pieces from each take.In Ableton, recording audio is kind of a clunky process, you have to create a new track, set the input, record a new take on a new track, etc. And comping in Ableton isn’t not great.The short answer to your question is:They all have advantages and disadvantages but…It really doesn’t matter which one you choose, or what kind of music you want to make, they can all do what you need them to do if you know how to use them.The most important thing is to pick a DAW, stick with it, learn the every detail about, and master the DAW.That right there is going to be far more important than what DAW you choose.That said, if your focus is sample based music, my personal preference would be Ableton for it’s intuitive and easy ability to work with and manipulative loops and straightforward samplers. Also if you want to work with external samplers and hardware, setup to work with Ableton is pretty straightforward.**update**I also recently learned of some great trackers, which I have not tried, but have gotten some good feedback that may be a more intuitive process for you, as their basic layout is very similar to old-school Amiga trackers.Here’s a table from Wikipedia outlining some of the newer trackers out there:Coming from trackers, one of these options might be your best bet as they’ll likely be more familiar to you, but they also have incorporated a lot of new capabilities of modern DAWs like VST/AU plugin compatibility, MIDI sequencing, ability to use high quality audio samples, etc. Basically, all the features of a modern DAW with the interface of a tracker.
