A thorough presentation of the methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, designed for undergraduates majoring in mathematics. The book includes detailed and well-motivated explanations followed by numerous examples, varied problem sets, and computer-generated graphs of solutions and applications. This book varies from "Elementary Differential Equations, 4th Ed", in that it includes an extra chapter on boundary value problems.
This well-respected book introduces readers to the theory and application of modern numerical approximation techniques. Providing an accessible treatment that only requires a calculus prerequisite, the authors explain how, why, and when approximation techniques can be expected to work-and why, in some situations, they fail. A wealth of examples and exercises develop readers' intuition, and demonstrate the subject's practical applications to important everyday problems in math, computing, engineering, and physical science disciplines. Three decades after it was first published, Burden, Faires, and Burden's NUMERICAL ANALYSIS remains the definitive introduction to a vital and practical subject.
This thoroughly revised and updated text, now in its fifth edition, continues to provide a rigorous introduction to the fundamentals of numerical methods required in scientific and technological applications, emphasizing on teaching students numerical methods and in helping them to develop problem-solving skills. While the essential features of the previous editions such as References to MATLAB, IMSL, Numerical Recipes and program libraries for implementing the numerical methods are retained, a chapter on spline functions has been added in this edition because of their increasing importance in applications. This text is designed for undergraduate students of all branches of engineering. Includes additional modified illustrative examples and problems in every chapter. Provides answers to all chapter-end exercises. Illustrates algorithms, computational steps or flow charts for many numerical methods. Contains four model question papers at the end of the text.
This fully revised and updated version of Anthony Giddens′s Sociology, now in its fifth edition, offers an unrivaled introduction for students new to the subject – lucid, lively, authoritative and original. Written by one of the world′s leading sociologists, this comprehensive textbook manages to be clear, accessible and jargon-free, but without oversimplifying complex debates.
Earlier editions of Sociology broke new ground by incorporating cutting–edge debates, such as the impact of globalization, into an introductory text. This fifth edition remains a state of the art textbook, with fresh and engaging new material added throughout. While covering all of the core topics of sociology, the fifth edition also includes a great deal of substantive new material, ensuring that students are introduced to the most recent sociological debates. Throughout, the book weaves together classical and contemporary theory and data, and provides a wide range of everyday examples to which students can easily relate.
The study of human behavior in a social setting, sociology forms an important part of our lives. It helps in making the readers aware of the influence social factors can have on their lives and their surroundings. Focusing on recent social unrest in the world, how the students reacted with protests, global financial crisis and the situation in the middle-east, Sociology takes into account all the aspects that impact the human social standing with vivid explanations.
Divided into nine sections, this work deals with definition, scope, and use of sociology, social institutions, marriage in India, the education system, juvenile delinquency, population problems and beggary, collective behaviour, and norms and social values.
By applying universal rules of software architecture, you can dramatically improve developer productivity throughout the life of any software system.
