A Second Look at Calculus

Posted by on Tuesday, 12 April, 2011

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

Interactive Quantum Mechanics

Posted by on Monday, 11 April, 2011

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

But don”t worry–Ruby lives to tell the tale. And make more lists. From the Hardcover edition.
