For almost 30 years, this book has been a classic text for electronics enthusiasts. Now completely updated for todays technology with easy explanations and presented in a more user-friendly format, this third edition helps you learn the essentials you need to work with electronic circuits. All you need is a general understanding of electronics concepts such as Ohms law and current flow, and an acquaintance with first-year algebra.
Preface The existence of the digital computer and other devices using binary digits has resulted in a renewal of interest in the mathematical theory of finite fields. The main exposition of the foundations of the subject was written over fifty years ago and has been out of print for many years.
This text is aimed at the abstract or modern algebra course taken by junior and senior math majors and many secondary math education majors. A mid-level approach, this text features clear prose, an intuitive approach, and exercises organized around specific concepts. New to this edition are additional applications exercises to improve student learning.
These notes were developed from a course taught at Rice University in the spring of 1976 and again at the University of Hawaii in the spring of 1977. It is assumed that the students know some linear algebra and a little about differentiation of vector-valued functions. The idea is to introduce some students to some of the concepts of Lie group theory--all done at the concrete level of matrix groups.
Dynamics: the Geometry of Behavior (Studies in nonlinearity)
This is one of my favorite books. Chock full of enlightening artwork, page after page of colorful drawings, graphs, representations of springs, sound, heat, and other non-linear, real-world phenomena explained and illustrated for intuitive ease. Even if you're not a scientist, or a mathematics fan - this book will open your eyes to concepts that scientists deal with, and that deeply inspire artists and musicians alike.
