Programming in C++ for Engineering and Science

Programming in C++ for Engineering and Science

Developed from the author‘s many years of teaching computing courses Programming in C plus plus for Engineering and Science guides students in designing programs to solve real problems encountered in engineering and scientific applications. These problems include radioactive decay pollution indexes digital circuits differential equations Internet addresses data analysis simulation quality control electrical networks data encryption beam deflection and many other areas. To make it easier for novices to develop programs the author uses an object-centered design approach that helps students identify the objects in a problem and the operations needed; develop an algorithm for processing; implement the objects operations and algorithm in a program; and test correct and revise the program. He also revisits topics in greater detail as the text progresses. By the end of the book students will have a solid understanding of how C plus plus can be used to process complex objects including how classes can be built to model objects. Web ResourceThe book‘s website at http://cs. calvin. edu/books/c plus plus/engr-sci provides source code expanded presentations links to relevant sites reference materials lab exercises and projects. For instructors solutions to exercises and PowerPoint slides for classroom use are available upon qualifying course adoption. | Programming in C++ for Engineering and Science

A Key for Identification of Rock-Forming Minerals in Thin Section

A Key for Identification of Rock-Forming Minerals in Thin Section

Structured in the form of a dichotomous key comparable to those widely used in botany the mineral key provides an efficient and systematic approach to identifying rock-forming minerals in thin-section. This unique approach covers 150 plus of the most commonly encountered rock-forming minerals plus a few rarer but noteworthy ones. Illustrated in full colour with 330 plus high quality mineral photomicrographs from a worldwide collection of igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks it also provides a comprehensive atlas of rock-forming minerals in thin-section. Commencing with a brief introduction to mineral systems and the properties of minerals in plane-polarised and cross-polarised light the mineral key also includes line drawings tables of mineral properties and an interference colour chart to further aid mineral identification. To minimise the chance of misidentification and enable less experienced petrologists to use the key with confidence the key has been arranged to prioritise those properties that are most easily recognised. Designed for simplicity and ease of use it is primarily aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students of mineralogy and petrology but should also provide a valuable source of reference for all practising geologists dealing with rock thin sections and their interpretation. | A Key for Identification of Rock-Forming Minerals in Thin Section

The Places of Van Morrison’s Songwriting Venturing in the Slipstream

The Places of Van Morrison’s Songwriting Venturing in the Slipstream

What can we learn about Van Morrison’s life and work as a songwriter through his songs? This book looks closely at the lyrics and music from a selection of his songs. Some are very well-known - ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ ‘Cleaning Windows’ and ‘The Healing Game’. Others are less familiar. Through these songs the book offers insights into some of the most important ideas that the songwriter has explored across his five-decade plus career starting from the Them period and extending through his solo albums. These readings show how thinking about Morrison’s use of place provides a specific lens that contributes to a greater understanding of his art. The songs are organized into chapters that reflect many of the important places in Morrison’s work as he ventured professionally and imaginatively away from the places of his upbringing towards a wider musical world. These places are in city streetscapes and country landscapes – in home places of streets and ditches in the enclosed spaces of rooms in the expansive reaches of the natural world in indeterminate and specific foreign lands. A picture emerges of the journey that Van Morrison details through his songs one that sees him first wandering as a boy through his East Belfast haunts and then venturing out to a wider world away from this local place. | The Places of Van Morrison’s Songwriting Venturing in the Slipstream

When Cats Reigned Like Kings On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

When Cats Reigned Like Kings On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

In her fascinating exploration of feline history Georgie Anne Geyer explores the connections between the royal and sacred felines of ancient civilizations and the beloved domestic cats of today. Chasing an irresistible mystery across the globe Geyer conducts exhaustive research into the little-known puzzle of how cats came to occupy their unique position in the lives of humans. Treated with the tenacity resourcefulness and narrative instinct of a seasoned foreign correspondent the investigation yields unexpected answers and poses tantalizing new questions. It was Geyer's curiosity about her own cats that inspired her to study the history of human-feline relations and especially the exalted status of cats among the ancients as royal or sacred beings. In Egypt Geyer learned of the cat-goddess Bastet and of the cat's role in the transmigration of souls. In Myanmar she saw Leonardo DiCaprio Ricky Martin and the other incongruously named cats of the Nga Phe Kyaung monastery trained by the monks to jump through hoops. She even met a family who dutifully guards the heritage of the Japanese Bobtail cultivating the line in of all places rural Virginia. Richly illustrated with photographs of Geyer's journeys and historical cat images When Cats Reigned Like Kings describes forty-one recognized modern cat breeds plus other popular cats. Every cat lover can thus trace his or her cat to these breeds and their many relatives. The result is a remarkable book bound to delight and amaze cat fanciers and adventure seekers. | When Cats Reigned Like Kings On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

A Course in Categorical Data Analysis

A Course in Categorical Data Analysis

Categorical data-comprising counts of individuals objects or entities in different categories-emerge frequently from many areas of study including medicine sociology geology and education. They provide important statistical information that can lead to real-life conclusions and the discovery of fresh knowledge. Therefore the ability to manipulate understand and interpret categorical data becomes of interest-if not essential-to professionals and students in a broad range of disciplines. Although t-tests linear regression and analysis of variance are useful valid methods for analysis of measurement data categorical data requires a different methodology and techniques typically not encountered in introductory statistics courses. Developed from long experience in teaching categorical analysis to a multidisciplinary mix of undergraduate and graduate students A Course in Categorical Data Analysis presents the easiest most straightforward ways of extracting real-life conclusions from contingency tables. The author uses a Fisherian approach to categorical data analysis and incorporates numerous examples and real data sets. Although he offers S-PLUS routines through the Internet readers do not need full knowledge of a statistical software package. In this unique text the author chooses methods and an approach that nurtures intuitive thinking. He trains his readers to focus not on finding a model that fits the data but on using different models that may lead to meaningful conclusions. The book offers some simple innovative techniques not highighted in other texts that help make the book accessible to a broad interdisciplinary audience. A Course in Categorical Data Analysis enables readers to quickly use its offering of tools for drawing scientific medical or real-life conclusions from categorical data sets.
