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.

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.

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

Math 87 2e Test Master

Integration of math and language arts explaining elementary math concepts through poetry. Also, includes social studies facts.

This volume of The 826 Quarterly showcases the best poetry, short fiction, and nonfiction written by kids in the San Francisco Bay Area. Past issues have covered everything from skort-wearing to mole removal to a math equation involving a chicken and a potato. Topics in this seventh issue include a 30-minute high school love affair, a sewer cleaner who teams up with a rock to save their city, and the world’s oldest two-year-old. The pieces were selected by the students and adults at McSweeney’s 826 Valencia writing center, who combed through hundreds of submissions to find the stories presented here.

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.

Jason Fox”s perpetual obsession with being the ultimate science and math nerd is an ongoing story line in the comic strip FoxTrot. In this FoxTrot -themed book, the best math, science, and other geek-worthy cartoons are collected for the first time.
