What are e, pi, and i, and who was Euler? Now, it is hard for me to believe that there are any literate readers in the world who haven't heard of the transcendental numbers e = 2.71828182... and pi = 3.14159265..., and of the imaginary number i. As for Euler, he was surely one of the greatest of all mathematicians. Making lists of the "greatest" is a popular activity these days, and I would wager that the Swiss-born Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) would appear somewhere among the top five mathematicians of all time on the list made by any mathematician in the world today (Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss would give him stiff competition, but what great company they are!). Matthew Killeya, New Scientist, May 27, 2006 "But be warned: it contains thousands of equations, and is a challenging read". Review Timothy Gowers Nature : Nahin includes gems from all over mathematics, ranging from engineering applications to beautiful pure-mathematical identities. Matthew Killeya New Scientist : Nahin?s tale of the formula e[pi]i+1=0, which links five of the most important numbers in mathematics, is remarkable. Henry Ricardo MAA Reviews : What a treasure of a book this is . . .! A marvelous tribute to Euler's genius and those who built upon it. Robert E. O'Malley, Jr. SIAM Review : The heart and soul of the book are the final three chapters on Fourier series, Fourier integrals, and related engineering. Mathematics Today : This excellent book goes a long way to explaining the Read more...

Book - optimized DJVU file with searchable text, Instructor's Manual - PDF (OCR). Engineering Mathematics is a comprehensive textbook for vocational courses and foundation modules at degree level. John Bird's approach, based on numerous worked examples supported by problems, is ideal for students of a wide range of abilities, and can be worked through at the student's own pace. Theory is kept to a minimum, placing a firm emphasis on problem-solving skills, and making this a thoroughly practical introduction to the core mathematics needed for engineering studies and practice. The book presents a logical topic progression, rather than following the structure of a particular syllabus. However, coverage has been carefully matched to the two mathematics units within the new BTEC National specifications, and AVCE specifications. New sections on Boolean algebra, logic circuits matrices and determinants have been added to ensure full syllabus match. Includes: 900 worked examples, 1700 further problems, 234 multiple choice questions (answers provided), and 16 assessment papers - ideal for use as tests or homework. These are the only problems where answers are not provided in the book. Full worked solutions are available to lecturers only as a free download from http://textbooks.elsevier.com * A complete foundation mathematics course for engineering students * Student-friendly learn-through-examples method appeals to engineers * Includes 850 worked examples, 1500 proble Read more...

The market is flooded with numbers of good books on Embedded Systems designed especially with the most popular MCS51 family. These books are traditional in nature i.e. they start with the routine architectural features of 8051, description of registers, ports, interrupts etc. Most of these things are already covered in the device data sheet and application notes. In this book all such routine things are skipped. The focus is on programming microcontrollers, to be specific MCS-51 family in 'C' using Keil IDE. The book presents seventeen live case studies apart from the many basic programs organized around every on-chip resource like port, time/counter, interrupt , serial I/O etc. Rather than introducing the underpinning theory or reproducing lengthy data sheets, our approach is "learning-through-doing" and one that appeals to busy electronics designers. The 'C' codes given are well supported by easy to understand comments wherever required. Mastering the basic modules and hands on working with the projects will enable to grasp the basic building blocks for most 8051 programs. Whether you are a student using the MCS-51 family of microcontrollers for your project work or an embedded systems programmer, this is a book that will give you a kick-start in using and understanding the most popular microcontroller. Authors through their interaction with the undergraduate, postgraduate students as well as industry professionals have found that such a book is a need of the microcontr Read more...

This is an electronic version of the third (2005) edition of the above Springer book, from their series Graduate Texts in Mathematics, vol. 173. The cross-references in the text and in the margins are active links: click on them to be taken to the appropriate page. The third edition of this standard textbook of modern graph theory has been carefully revised, updated, and substantially extended. Covering all its major recent developments it can be used both as a reliable textbook for an introductory course and as a graduate text: on each topic it covers all the basic material in full detail, and adds one or two deeper results (again with detailed proofs) to illustrate the more advanced methods of that field. From the reviews of the first two editions (1997, 2000): "This outstanding book cannot be substituted with any other book on the present textbook market. It has every chance of becoming the standard textbook for graph theory." Acta Scientiarum Mathematiciarum "The book has received a very enthusiastic reception, which it amply deserves. A masterly elucidation of modern graph theory." Bulletin of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications "A highlight of the book is what is by far the best account in print of the Seymour-Robertson theory of graph minors." Mathematika ". . . like listening to someone explain mathematics." Bulletin of the AMS Review Graph Theory is a very well-written book, now in its third edition and the recipient of the according evoluti Read more...

The bestselling series Japanese for Busy People has guided hundreds of thousands of students to a fluent, natural, and precise use of the Japanese language. Volume I teaches the absolute minimum amount of Japanese to live in Japan and handle everyday situations. In the ten years since its publication, Japanese for Busy People has won acceptance worldwide as an effective, easy-to-understand textbook, either for classroom use or for independent study. In this new edition, numerous revisions and additions have been made, taking into account the comments and responses of both students and teachers who have been using the course. In Book I, the revisions are directed at making the grammatical explanations easier to understand, while adding further explanations of points that students have difficulty with. Changes have also been made in favor of more natural practice sentences and dialogues. In addition, new appendices list the particles, interrogatives, and sentence patterns in the book, as well as the kanji introduced. Vocabulary and grammar have been limited to about one-third that usually encountered in beginner courses, and words and patterns that students will find immediately useful are emphasized. The thirty lessons are composed of dialogues, notes on grammar, and vocabulary, exercises and quizzes. In addition to developing verbal fluency, by the time the student is one-third the way through Book I he will have mastered the two phonetic syllabaries of Japanese Read more...
