Contemporary Abstract Algebra

Contemporary Abstract Algebra

Contemporary Abstract Algebra Tenth Edition For more than three decades this classic text has been widely appreciated by instructors and students alike. The book offers an enjoyable read and conveys and develops enthusiasm for the beauty of the topics presented. It is comprehensive lively and engaging. The author presents the concepts and methodologies of contemporary abstract algebra as used by working mathematicians computer scientists physicists and chemists. Students will learn how to do computations and to write proofs. A unique feature of the book are exercises that build the skill of generalizing a skill that students should develop but rarely do. Applications are included to illustrate the utility of the abstract concepts. Examples and exercises are the heart of the book. Examples elucidate the definitions theorems and proof techniques; exercises facilitate understanding provide insight and develop the ability to do proofs. The exercises often foreshadow definitions concepts and theorems to come. Changes for the tenth edition include new exercises new examples new quotes and a freshening of the discussion portions. The hallmark features of previous editions of the book are enhanced in this edition. These include: A good mixture of approximately 1900 computational and theoretical exercises including computer exercises that synthesize concepts from multiple chapters Approximately 300 worked-out examples from routine computations to the challenging Many applications from scientific and computing fields and everyday life Historical notes and biographies that spotlight people and events Motivational and humorous quotations Numerous connections to number theory and geometry While many partial solutions and sketches for the odd-numbered exercises appear in the book an Instructor’s Solutions Manual written by the author has comprehensive solutions for all exercises and some alternative solutions to develop a critical thought and deeper understanding. It is available from CRC Press only. The Student Solution Manual has comprehensive solutions for all odd-numbered exercises and many even-numbered exercises.

A First Course in Ordinary Differential Equations

A First Course in Ordinary Differential Equations

A First course in Ordinary Differential Equations provides a detailed introduction to the subject focusing on analytical methods to solve ODEs and theoretical aspects of analyzing them when it is difficult/not possible to find their solutions explicitly. This two-fold treatment of the subject is quite handy not only for undergraduate students in mathematics but also for physicists engineers who are interested in understanding how various methods to solve ODEs work. More than 300 end-of-chapter problems with varying difficulty are provided so that the reader can self examine their understanding of the topics covered in the text. Most of the definitions and results used from subjects like real analysis linear algebra are stated clearly in the book. This enables the book to be accessible to physics and engineering students also. Moreover sufficient number of worked out examples are presented to illustrate every new technique introduced in this book. Moreover the author elucidates the importance of various hypotheses in the results by providing counter examples. Features Offers comprehensive coverage of all essential topics required for an introductory course in ODE. Emphasizes on both computation of solutions to ODEs as well as the theoretical concepts like well-posedness comparison results stability etc. Systematic presentation of insights of the nature of the solutions to linear/non-linear ODEs. Special attention on the study of asymptotic behavior of solutions to autonomous ODEs (both for scalar case and 2✕2 systems). Sufficient number of examples are provided wherever a notion is introduced. Contains a rich collection of problems. This book serves as a text book for undergraduate students and a reference book for scientists and engineers. Broad coverage and clear presentation of the material indeed appeals to the readers. Dr. Suman K. Tumuluri has been working in University of Hyderabad India for 11 years and at present he is an associate professor. His research interests include applications of partial differential equations in population dynamics and fluid dynamics.

Discovering Computer Science Interdisciplinary Problems Principles and Python Programming

Discovering Computer Science Interdisciplinary Problems Principles and Python Programming

Havill's problem-driven approach introduces algorithmic concepts in context and motivates students with a wide range of interests and backgrounds. Janet Davis Associate Professor and Microsoft Chair of Computer Science Whitman College This book looks really great and takes exactly the approach I think should be used for a CS 1 course. I think it really fills a need in the textbook landscape. Marie desJardins Dean of the College of Organizational Computational and Information Sciences Simmons University Discovering Computer Science is a refreshing departure from introductory programming texts offering students a much more sincere introduction to the breadth and complexity of this ever-growing field. James Deverick Senior Lecturer The College of William and Mary This unique introduction to the science of computing guides students through broad and universal approaches to problem solving in a variety of contexts and their ultimate implementation as computer programs. Daniel Kaplan DeWitt Wallace Professor Macalester College Discovering Computer Science: Interdisciplinary Problems Principles and Python Programming is a problem-oriented introduction to computational problem solving and programming in Python appropriate for a first course for computer science majors a more targeted disciplinary computing course or at a slower pace any introductory computer science course for a general audience. Realizing that an organization around language features only resonates with a narrow audience this textbook instead connects programming to students’ prior interests using a range of authentic problems from the natural and social sciences and the digital humanities. The presentation begins with an introduction to the problem-solving process contextualizing programming as an essential component. Then as the book progresses each chapter guides students through solutions to increasingly complex problems using a spiral approach to introduce Python language features. The text also places programming in the context of fundamental computer science principles such as abstraction efficiency testing and algorithmic techniques offering glimpses of topics that are traditionally put off until later courses. This book contains 30 well-developed independent projects that encourage students to explore questions across disciplinary boundaries over 750 homework exercises and 300 integrated reflection questions engage students in problem solving and active reading. The accompanying website — https://www. discoveringcs. net — includes more advanced content solutions to selected exercises sample code and data files and pointers for further exploration. | Discovering Computer Science Interdisciplinary Problems Principles and Python Programming

Praise for the first edition This book captures in a very accessible way a growing body of literature on the structure function and motion of proteins. This is a superb publication that would be very useful to undergraduates graduate students postdoctoral researchers and instructors involved in structural biology or biophysics courses or in research on protein structure-function relationships. David Sheehan ChemBioChem 2011 Introduction to Proteins is an excellent state-of-the-art choice for students faculty or researchers needing a monograph on protein structure. This is an immensely informative thoroughly researched up-to-date text with broad coverage and remarkable depth. Introduction to Proteins would provide an excellent basis for an upper-level or graduate course on protein structure and a valuable addition to the libraries of professionals interested in this centrally important field.
