This text is an introduction to the use of vectors in a wide range of undergraduate disciplines. It is written specifically to match the level of experience and mathematical qualifications of students entering undergraduate and Higher National programmes and it assumes only a minimum of mathematical background on the part of the reader. Basic mathematics underlying the use of vectors is covered, and the text goes from fundamental concepts up to the level of first-year examination questions in engineering and physics. The material treated includes electromagnetic waves, alternating current, rotating fields, mechanisms, simple harmonic motion and vibrating systems. There are examples and exercises and the book contains many clear diagrams to complement the text. The provision of examples allows the student to become proficient in problem solving and the application of the material to a range of applications from science and engineering demonstrates the versatility of vector algebra as an analytical tool.
Dan and Sam find an ancient football in the attic and they're amazed when ghostly ancestor Archie pops out of it. Archie's goal is to train up a Legg family football team brilliant enough to win the Football Challenge Cup.
Holly carries out a correspondance with Santa Claus in Lapland.
Intended for children, this title presents a long story, along with illustrations.
When Holly writes a letter to Santa, he answers all her questions about his work and, ultimately, gives her a very special gift, in a story that includes pull-out letters and an advent calendar.
Quantum Physics of Matter explores the way in which quantum physics determines the properties of materials. The quantum physics of solids, for example, dictates whether they are good insulators, conductors, semiconductors, or even superconductors. At a deeper level, it explores how the quantum physics of nuclei and elementary particles determines the stability of matter and hence the range of substances that came into existence through the big bang and the evolution of stars.
A group of animals find ways to overcome their bereavement at their friend's death.
Junior and his elephant family are excited to visit Human Town, where they can observe humans in their own town! The novelty soon wears thin, as they notice major issues humans have caused, which are causing them to become extinct. Junior hopes that this will never happen to the elephants.
Describing Motion: The Physical World provides the quantitative description of a variety of physically important motions. Starting with simple examples of motion along a line, the book introduces key concepts, such as position, velocity, and acceleration, using the fundamental rules of differential calculus. Topics include the free-fall motion of m
When Angus boards the goods train, laden with milk, honey, and rice, he's full of excitement as the driver speeds across land and sea. But why won't the train stop for those who are hungry and thirsty? What can Angus do? This moral classic is beautifully written by Alan Durant (author of Always and Forever) with stunning illustrations by Chris Riddell.
