Introductory Analysis addresses the needs of students taking a course in analysis after completing a semester or two of calculus, and offers an alternative to texts that assume that math majors are their only audience. By using a conversational style that does not compromise mathematical precision, the author explains the material in terms that help the reader gain a firmer grasp of calculus concepts. * Written in an engaging, conversational tone and readable style while softening the rigor and theory* Takes a realistic approach to the necessary and accessible level of abstraction for the secondary education students* A thorough concentration of basic topics of calculus* Features a student-friendly introduction to delta-epsilon arguments * Includes a limited use of abstract generalizations for easy use* Covers natural logarithms and exponential functions* Provides the computational techniques often encountered in basic calculus
These pun-studded fables by a popular science writer make complicated mathematical concepts accessible and fun. Twelve essays take a playful approach to mathematics, investigating the topology of a warm blanket, the odds of beating a superior tennis player, and how to distinguish between fact and fallacy. 1991 edition.
Now updated and revised, the Spectrum Math series offers grade-appropriate coverage of basic arithmetic and math skills. Each book features drill practice in math fundamentals, as well as applications of mathematics in everyday settings.

pFrom the reviews:pThis book is an improved and generalized version of the previous and well succeeded The Picture Book of Quantum Mechanics??? by S. Brandt and H. D. Dahmen (Springer, New York). It is probably the most attractive, updated, and easy-to-follow method for learning basic quantum mechanics (QM) in all literature. The reader has so many tools at his/her hands, that I cannot imagine a better way to learn this important but abstract field of modern physics. (Zentralblatt Mathematik 1038.81002.pThis book is an improved and generalized version of the previous and well succeeded ???The Picture Book of Quantum Mechanics??? ??? . It is probably the most attractive, updated, and easy-to-follow method for learning basic quantum mechanics (QM) in all literature. ??? this book should be understood as a very useful (almost indispensable) support in standard courses on QM. ??? a book that certainly will influence the learning of many students all around the world in a very constructive manner. (Adonai S. Sant???Anna, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1038 (13), 2004)pInteractive Quantum Mechanics under Java presents the most up-to-date approach to elementary quantum mechanics. Based on the interactive program INTERQUANTA ??? and its extensive 3D color graphic features, the book guides its readers through computer experiments on free particles and wave packets, bound states in various potentials, coherent and squeezed states in time-independent motion, scattering and resonances, analogies in optics ??? . A realm for everybody who wants to work on quantum mechanical problems. (Revista Espanola de Fisica, Vol. 17 (6),2003)pSeveral books on quantum mechanics have been sold with a CD-ROM containing demonstrations of solutions of standard equations. Most of the time, they do not offer the possibility of playing with the parameters of the problems. The present book is probably one of the first to fill this gap and to present a really interactive tool for solving bas@PÀ

Integration of math and language arts explaining elementary math concepts through poetry. Also, includes social studies facts.
Ruby Oliver is 15 and has a shrink. She knows it”s unusual, but give her a break–she”s had a rough 10 days. In the past 10 days she: lost her boyfriend (#13 on the list), lost her best friend (Kim), lost all her other friends (Nora, Cricket), did something suspicious with a boy (#10), did something advanced with a boy (#15), had an argument with a boy (#14), drank her first beer (someone handed it to her), got caught by her mom (ag!), had a panic attack (scary), lost a lacrosse game (she”s the goalie), failed a math test (she”ll make it up), hurt Meghan”s feelings (even though they aren”t really friends), became a social outcast (no one to sit with at lunch) and had graffiti written about her in the girls” bathroom (who knows what was in the boys”!?!). But don”t worry–Ruby lives to tell the tale. And make more lists. From the Hardcover edition.
