The Telephony Book: Understanding Systems and Services
Purchasing and managing a telephone system can be a challenge for businesses. This book includes practical advice such as: how to order services and equipment, how to get a fair price, how to ensure good service to callers, and how to stay flexible.
If you are a manager or someone aspiring to be a manager, at whatever stage you are in your study of systems thinking, this book is designed to help. If you are new to the ideas, then it should serve as a solid introduction. If you are familiar with a few of the ideas, but know little about how they are related or can be used to manage organizations, then the book will give you a more rigorous understanding of holism and how to use systems ideas in practice.
Modern Control Systems, 12e, is ideal for an introductory undergraduate course in control systems for engineering students. Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, this text is organized around the concept of control systems theory as it has been developed in the frequency and time domains. It provides coverage of classical control, employing root locus design, frequency and response design using Bode and Nyquist plots. It also covers modern control methods based on state variable models including pole placement design techniques with full-state feedback controllers and full-state observers.
Health Care Systems: Efficiency and Policy Settings
The book takes an in-depth look at health care in OECD countries today. What is the status of people’s health? How do we measure health outcomes? How do we assess the efficiency of health care systems? How are health policies and institutions linked with the performance of health care systems?
Mukhi, Lectures on Advanced Mathematical Methods for Physicists
This book surveys Topology and Differential Geometry and also, Lie Groups and Algebras, and their Representations. The former topic is indispensable to students of gravitation and related areas of modern physics, including string theory. The latter has applications in gauge theory and particle physics, integrable systems and nuclear physics, among many others. The style of presentation is such that the mathematical statements are succinct and precise, but skip involved proofs that are not of primary importance to the physics reader.
