Fundamental concepts of mathematical modeling Modeling is one of the most effective, commonly used tools in engineering and the applied sciences. In this book, the authors deal with mathematical programming models both linear and nonlinear and across a wide range of practical applications. Whereas other books concentrate on standard methods of analysis, the authors focus on the power of modeling methods for solving practical problems-clearly showing the connection between physical and mathematical realities-while also describing and exploring the main concepts and tools at work. This highly computational coverage includes: * Discussion and implementation of the GAMS programming system * Unique coverage of compatibility * Illustrative examples that showcase the connection between model and reality * Practical problems covering a wide range of scientific disciplines, as well as hundreds of examples and end-of-chapter exercises * Real-world applications to probability and statistics, electrical engineering, transportation systems, and more Building and Solving Mathematical Programming Models in Engineering and Science is practically suited for use as a professional reference for mathematicians, engineers, and applied or industrial scientists, while also tutorial and illustrative enough for advanced students in mathematics or engineering.

Ten—--nine professors and a graduate student—--tell "35-tales" in rhymed verse as they drive a van to a conference from the University of Montana to San Francisco, wedging in one ode to an earthworm, six other poems, and four ditties, one villanelle, and singing two original songs. In the spirit and style of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, they embark on a pilgrimage to reap knowledge at the Holy Grail of computer technology in Silicon Valley with one simple rule: “you can speak at any time so long as you speak in rhyme.” The themes of the tales are as diverse as the group of reluctant pilgrims, professors Virgil Vulgate, Smokey Cloud, Inger Johnson, Lupe de Vega, Lolo Sandec, T. Osprey Munsch, Tommy Tornado, Lawrence Carrow, Buster White, and graduate student Jose Roberto, “Bob”.

Fostering a Pluralistic Society Through Multi-Ethnic Education (Fastback Ser.: No. 107)

Phi Delta Kappa Intl Inc

Rather than relying on platitudes, Garcia (education, U. of Nebraska) takes a pragmatic approach in examining the role of the teacher, the importance of the developmental view of socioeconomic and racial diversity, and guiding principles and strategies, all of which he believes will result in better teaching of diverse students and better teaching about dealing with diversity. He covers such topics as democracy and universal education, identifying and understanding issues, building instructional strategies, developing curricula, and teaching students to live in a diverse society.

Filling a gap in the literature, this book features in-depth discussions on amplitude modulation AFM, providing an overview of the theory, instrumental considerations and applications of the technique in both academia and industry. As such, it includes examples from material science, soft condensed matter, molecular biology, and biophysics, among others. The text is written in such a way as to enable readers from different backgrounds and levels of expertise to find the information suitable for their needs.
