Topology of
Surfaces, Knots, and Manifolds
This book offers an intuition-based and example-driven
approach to the basic ideas and problems involving
manifolds. A blend of examples and exercises leads the
reader to anticipate general definitions and theorems
concerning curves, surfaces, knots, and links—the
objects of interest in the appealing set of mathematical
ideas known as "“rubber sheet geometry."” The result is
a text that is accessible to a broad range of
undergraduate students, yet still provides solid
coverage of the mathematics underlying these topics.

Ditteon, Richard |
Modern
Geometrical Optics
This book, although it covers matrix methods,
emphasizes y-nu ray tracing methods, which are used most
commonly by optical engineers and are easier to adapt to
third-order optics and y-y diagrams. Moving by logical
degrees from fundamental principles to advanced optical
analysis and design methods, this book bridges the gap
between the optical theory taught in introductory
physics texts and advanced books on lens design.
Providing the background material needed to understand
advanced material, it covers important topics such as
field of view, stops, pupils and windows, exact ray
tracing, image quality, and optimization of the image.

Microprocessor Systems: A 16-Bit Approach
A journey through architecture, programming, and
applications of microprocessors. The book is designed
to: 1.) Introduce programming at the assembly language
level; 2.) Introduce the 16-bit processor; 3.) Help the
reader gain a solid foundation in the field. This is
accomplished by beginning with a general microprocessor
system design example, which is completed at the end of
the book and even includes a parts list, introducing
microprocessors in general, illustrating each topic with
a large number of examples and including the necessary
hardware both to illustrate applications and to provide
programming examples.

STUDY GUIDE
to accompany The Human Mosaic, 7th and 8th ed
This guide is designed to provide a simple and
hopefully useful method for students to better
understand the maps, concepts, and vocabulary of the
textbook. Most students questioned concluded that the
most useful portions of any study guide were sections on
key terms and the practice tests. Both of these sections
were expanded from the length found in an average study
guide. A new and innovative section on reading and
interpreting selected maps from the textbook is
included. The value of any study guide is measured by
its ability to help students better understand the
textbook.

Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computation
This book represents the numerical
analysis course I have taught for the past nine years,
first as a required course for sophomore engineering
majors and currently as an elective course for juniors
and seniors in mathematics, computer science, physics,
and engineering. It has been strongly influenced by my
summertime computational consulting work at the U.S.
Army Research Laboratory (Adelphi, MD), Naval Surface
Warfare Center (Dahlgren, VA), and Air Force Research
Laboratory (Dayton, OR), and other consulting and
research experiences. Some of the key features I have
incorporated into the text based on these teaching and
research experiences are:
• Modem approach to numerical linear
algebra
• Explanation of the numerical techniques
used by the major
computational programs students are
likely to use in practice
(especially MATLAB, but also Maple and
the Netlib library
• Appropriate mix of numerical
analysis theory and practical scientific
computation principles
•
Greater than usual emphasis on optimization
•
Numerical experiments so students can gain
experience
• Efficient and unobtrusive
introduction to Matlab

Layton, Richard A. |
Principles
of Analytical System Dynamics
Presents a systematic exposition of the principles
of analytical dynamics applied to the modeling of
multidisciplinary engineering systems. The novel aspects
of the book are its fresh and comprehensive development
of Lagrange's and Hamilton's equations for constrained
systems and its use of differential-algebraic equations
instead of the customary independent ordinary
differential equations as the basic mathematical model.
The energy methods and structured models presented in
this book constitute a basic framework for the
systematic treatment of physical systems.

Maple via
Calculus: A Tutorial Approach
"Modern software tools like Maple have the potential to
alter radically the way mathematics is taught, learned,
and done." With this principle firmly in mind one can
obtain a fresh look at the standard calculus curriculum,
colored by the existence of technology like Maple -- a
tool that can be used in class during lectures and exams
and at home while working assignments, a tool whose
universal access will eventually make a software-based
approach to mathematics the norm.

Numerical
Analysis: A Practical Approach
Numerical analysis is a blend of mathematics and
computer science that has produced powerful tools for
solving otherwise intractable problems in science and
engineering. Consequently, this subject can be viewed
from the perspective of a mathematician when an
algorithm is being created or assessed, a computer
scientist when it is implemented in software or modified
for optimal performance on a particular device, or a
problem solver once a mathematical model is created.

Eisenhower
Decides to Run
General Dwight D. Eisenhower's decision to campaign for
the presidency in 1952 was a pivotal event in America's
cold war years. It influenced almost a decade of policy
toward the Soviet Union and the threat of communism
abroad and at home. This book shows how international
events and Eisenhower's own sense of duty combined to
persuade him to enter presidential politics; how he
began exploring the possibility in 1948; and how in
1951, from his post as NATO supreme commander, he
secretly authorized his Republican supporters to begin
formal campaign activity.

Homer E.
Capehart, A Senator's Life 1897-1979
For many of his generation, Sen. Homer E. Capehart was
the archetypical midwestern Republican. Conservative and
anticommunist, Capehart made a successful career out of
opposition to big government and support for an
anti-interventionist foreign policy. By the end of his
career he appeared a symbol of the politics of a bygone
era. Yet he was an energetic campaigner for the values
of his Hoosier constituents, who rewarded him by
returning him to office more times than any other
previous Indiana senator.

Approximately one thousand people, including
representatives from twenty-one liberal-arts colleges,
came to Terre Haute, Indiana, for three days to think
about and discuss American technology and its effects on
society. There were films, lectures, and group
discussions about assembly-line production, energy
scarcity, technological alternatives for the Third
World, invention and the use of electrical power,
computers and society, funding of technical innovation,
the human values underlying invention and use of
technology; and the technologies of water and coal in
the Wabash Valley. Only the lectures on the history and
future of American technology are included in this
volume.

Thermodynamics
This introductory textbook in thermodynamics is designed
for undergraduate students in the field of engineering.
The primary objectives are to provide an understanding,
and to exhibit the wide range of applicability of the
basic laws of thermodynamics and to present a logical
development of the relationships among the physical
properties of interest in the thermal sciences. The
overall aim is to present thermodynamics as a science
built upon a group of postulates and concepts which
complement one another. An analysis becomes meaningful
only through the application and interlocking of these
ideas.
