With the direct, accessible, and pragmatic approach of Fowles and Cassiday's ANALYTICAL MECHANICS, Seventh Edition, thoroughly revised for clarity and concision, students will grasp challenging concepts in introductory mechanics. A complete exposition of the fundamentals of classical mechanics, this proven and enduring introductory text is a standard for the undergraduate Mechanics course. Numerical worked examples increased students' problem-solving skills, while textual discussions aid in student understanding of theoretical material through the use of specific cases.
Advances in Electronics and Electron Physics
Despite being a well-established and robust science, Classical Mechanics continues to evolve with new advancements emerging, its methods extending into other branches of Physics and Science more broadly. For these reasons, it remains a fundamental subject for students of Physics, certain Engineering disciplines, and other related fields. This book presents one hundred solved problems in Classical Mechanics, with the authors aiming to provide detailed solutions to support students who are still developing their skills. Many problems include practical applications, numerical examples, and result analysis. The book addresses key topics such as Newtonian Mechanics, Lagrangian Mechanics, Hamiltonian Mechanics, Central Force Fields, Rigid Bodies, Small Oscillations, Poisson Brackets, and Canonical Transformations. The authors welcome feedback from readers to further enrich this collection in future editions, tailoring it to meet their evolving interests.
Intended for the two-semester, upper division undergraduate Classical Mechanics course, Intermediate Dynamics provides a student-friendly approach. The text begins with an optional review of elementary physical concepts and continues to an in-depth study of mechanics. Each chapter includes numerous accessible exercises that help students review and understand key material while rigorous end-of-chapter problems challenge students to find solutions based on concepts discussed in the chapter. Additional computer problems are offered at the end of each chapter for those who would like to utilize numerical techniques.
This book covers both the theory and practice of game engine software development, bringing together complete coverage of a wide range of topics. The concepts and techniques described are the actual ones used by real game studios like Electronic Arts and Naughty Dog. The examples are often grounded in specific technologies, but the discussion exten
Based on extensive research, this highly praised history recounts the 1932 march on Washington by 15,000 World War I veterans and the protest's role in the transformation of American society. "Recommended." — Library Journal.
This book offers a complete introduction and overview to the basics and fundamentals of computational methods that have been developed in physics at the undergraduate and upper-division levels. It details how to make a physical problem computable and tractable with a computer, through the use of numerous examples and solved problems ranging from classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and molecular dynamics, to quantum mechanics, random processes, and more. The book directly teaches the reader how to implement these techniques within a physical problem.
Hailed as a "must-have textbook" (CHOICE, January 2010), the first edition of Game Engine Architecture provided readers with a complete guide to the theory and practice of game engine software development. Updating the content to match today’s landscape of game engine architecture, this second edition continues to thoroughly cover the major components that make up a typical commercial game engine. New to the Second Edition Information on new topics, including the latest variant of the C++ programming language, C++11, and the architecture of the eighth generation of gaming consoles, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 New chapter on audio technology covering the fundamentals of the physics, math...
Alcohol consumption goes to the very roots of nearly all human societies. Different countries and regions have become associated with different sorts of alcohol, for instance, the “beer culture” of Germany, the “wine culture” of France, Japan and saki, Russia and vodka, the Caribbean and rum, or the “moonshine culture” of Appalachia. Wine is used in religious rituals, and toasts are used to seal business deals or to celebrate marriages and state dinners. However, our relation with alcohol is one of love/hate. We also regulate it and tax it, we pass laws about when and where it’s appropriate, we crack down severely on drunk driving, and the United States and other countries tried the failed “Noble Experiment” of Prohibition. While there are many encyclopedias on alcohol, nearly all approach it as a substance of abuse, taking a clinical, medical perspective (alcohol, alcoholism, and treatment). The SAGE Encyclopedia of Alcohol examines the history of alcohol worldwide and goes beyond the historical lens to examine alcohol as a cultural and social phenomenon, as well—both for good and for ill—from the earliest days of humankind.
Recounts the life of Nellie Green, who was known as the "queen of the rumrunners on the East Coast," against the backdrop of the Prohibition era, the women's movement, and the Roaring Twenties.
