A uniquely accessible text on environmental modeling designed for both students and industry personnelbrbrPollutant fate and modeling are becoming increasingly important in both regulatory and scientific areas. However,the complexity of the software and models often act as an inhibitor to the advancement of water quality science.brbrA Basic Introduction to Pollutant Fate and Transport fills the need for a basic instructional tool for students and environmental professionals who lack the rigorous mathematical background necessary to derive the governing fate and transport equations. Taking a refreshingly simple approach to the subject that requires only a basic knowledge of algebra and first-year college chemistry, the book presents and integrates all of the aspects of fate and transport, including chemistry, modeling, risk assessment, and relevant environmental legislation; approaching each topic first conceptually before introducing the math necessary to model it.brbrThe first half of the book is dedicated to the chemistry and physics behind the fate and transport models, while the second half teaches and reinforces the logical concepts underlying fate and transport modeling. This better prepares students for support jobs in the environmental arena surrounding chemical industry and Superfund sites.brbrContributing to the book’s ease of use are:br* An extremely user-friendly software program, Fate(r), which uses basic models to predict the fate and transport of pollutants in lakes, rivers, groundwater, and atmospheric systemsbr* The use of canned models to evaluate the importance of model parameters and sensitivity analysisbr* A wealth of easy-to-understand examples and problemsbr* A chapter on environmental legislation in the United States and Europebr* A set of lab exercises, as well as a downloadable set of teaching aidsbrbrA much-needed basic text for contemporary hydrology or environmental chemistry courses and support courses fo@RMp£× ¾Û€

Most philosophers of mathematics treat it as isolated, timeless, ahistorical, inhuman. Reuben Hersh argues the contrary, that mathematics must be understood as a human activity, a social phenomenon, part of human culture, historically evolved, and intelligible only in a social context. Hersh pulls the screen back to reveal mathematics as seen by professionals, debunking many mathematical myths, and demonstrating how the humanist idea of the nature of mathematics more closely resembles how mathematicians actually work. At the heart of his book is a fascinating historical account of the mainstream of philosophy–ranging from Pythagoras, Descartes, and Spinoza, to Bertrand Russell, David Hilbert, and Rudolph Carnap–followed by the mavericks who saw mathematics as a human artifact, including Aristotle, Locke, Hume, Mill, and Lakatos.brWhat is Mathematics, Really? reflects an insider’s view of mathematical life, and will be hotly debated by anyone with an interest in mathematics or the philosophy of science.brHersh has a talent for exposition that makes me wish he had written most of the books on math Ive had to read…. His] fascinating…book should prove an enlightening and entertaining read for anyone who desires greater insight into the nature of the pursuit of fundamental knowledge.–Physics TodaybrbrReuben Hersh taught at several distinguished colleges and universities around the country.

Suitable as a two-semester stand-alone math text for electronics students at the Community College, Proprietary School or Vo-Tech Center. Course is most likely found in departments of electronics technology or electronics engineering technology. Written with the understanding that incoming students are often excited about beginning their study of electronics, but are not so enthused about math, this book provides an accessible, application-driven approach to algebra and trigonometry. In addition to a strong mathematical understanding, its many practical examples and exercises are designed to develop the solid work habits and thought processes that are essential for success in the workplace.

This reader-friendly book balances solid math instruction with real-world examples and applications for various disciplines. It encourages independent problem-solving and instills reader confidence with clearly illustrated concepts, procedure boxes that present a step-by-step approach to problem solving, and verbal nudges, similar to those used by teachers in the classroom, to help readers avoid common pitfalls and mistakes as well as reminding them of concepts they have already mastered.
