Special Relativity and Maxwell's EquationsBy Richard E. Haskell
A book containing a short, simple equation that explains all of physical reality is ignored when published, disappearing from public view for fifty years, until a high-school senior, with the encouragement of her engineering professor uncle, enters college on a quest to understand the nature of physical reality by challenging conventional wisdom. In the process, she starts a company that revolutionizes higher education, leading her to uncover the secret to a theory of everything.
Book Highlights: Graphical approach to special relativity Quaternion representation of the Lorentz transformation Relativistic dynamics Derivation of Maxwell's equations from Coulomb's law and special relativity A different approach to gravitational fields Details of a little-known unified field theory
FEATURES/BENEFITS *A bridge between the 68HC12 and the 68HC11 - Focuses on the 68HC12, but includes material for (and provides software for) the older 68HC11. *A new version of Forth - WHYP (Words to Help You Program) - designed for use in embedded systems. WHYP can easily be installed on any 68HC12 system, including the most popular development boards from Motorola and Axiom Manufacturing. It consists of two parts-some 68HC12 subroutines that reside on the target system (typically an evaluation board) and a C++ program that runs on a PC and communicates with the 68HC12 target system through a serial line. It is a sub-routine threaded language, which means that WHYP words are just the names of 68HC12(11) subroutines. New WHYP words can be defined simply by stringing previously defined WHYP words together. The first five chapters of the text explain how to make the programming of the 68HC12 simple and interactive, and in the process develops the entire WHYP language from scratch, step by step. (The software is provided on disk with the text, and the latest versions of the software will be available on the authors web site.) *An abundance of worked examples and many chapter-end exerc
If you have been confused by vectors, vector calculus, tensor analysis, or quaternions, this book is for you. Packed with examples, including Matlab examples, this book will show you: How to use Matlab to calculate dot and cross products, and solve linear equations; How to prove any vector identity using Cartesian tensors; How to derive the expressions for gradient, divergence, Laplacian, and curl in any curvilinear coordinate system; How to understand covariant and contravariant components of a vector; The meaning of Christoffel symbols in covariant differentiation; How to derive the curvature tensor; How quaternions can be used to describe vector rotations in 3-D space.
This text is for first and second year undergraduates studying the fundamentals of computer engineering, digital logic and microprocessors. Assuming little background in computer systems, the book presents the basics then illustrates them with and examination of 8086 architecture and programming. The intention is to teach digital logic by using programmable logic devices (PLDs) and the CUPL language.
Ideal for learning or reference, this book explains the five main principles of algorithm design and their implementation in Haskell.
This book introduces fundamental techniques for reasoning mathematically about functional programs. Ideal for a first- or second-year undergraduate course.
