    • English
    Mathematical Analysis: A Special Course focuses on the study of mathematical analysis. The book first discusses set theory, including operations on sets, countable sets, equivalence of sets, and sets of the power of the continuum. The text also discusses the elements of the theory of metric and normed linear spaces. Topics include convergent sequences and closed sets; theorem of the fixed point; normed linear spaces; and continuous functions and compact spaces. The selection also discusses the calculus of variations; the theory of the integral; and geometry of Hilbert space. The text also covers differentiation and integration, including functions of bounded variation, derivative of a non-decreasing function, differentiation of functions of sets, and the Stieltjes integral. The book also looks at the Fourier transform. Topics include convergence of Fourier series; Laplace transform; Fourier transform in the case of various independent variables; and quasi-analytic classes of functions. The text is a valuable source of data for readers interested in the study of mathematical analysis.

  • Computers and Microprocessors

    Made Simple
    • 1st Edition
    • George H. Olsen + 1 more
    • English
    Computers and Microprocessors: Made Simple covers the basic concepts and applications of computers and microprocessors. The book discusses the basic concepts behind the architecture of a small digital computer including logic systems and the major functional blocks of the computer. The text also tackles the applications and operation of analog computers, electronic analog computers, and digital computers and its software (higher-level programming languages and flowcharts). Microprocessors are also discussed with regard to its evolution, architecture, types, and future trends. Students taking computer courses will find the book useful.

  • Reactor Safeguards

    International Series of Monographs on Nuclear Energy
    • 1st Edition
    • Charles R. Russell
    • English
    Reactor Safeguards focuses on the measures and approaches in the safeguard of reactors. The book first discusses the development of nuclear reactors, including the emergence of radiation hazards, construction of nuclear reactors in Chicago, and containment of reactors. The text also focuses on radioactive materials; reactor kinetics; and control and safety systems of reactors. The text discusses the containment of nuclear reactors. Topics include nuclear excursions; combustion of reactor materials; melting of reactor fuels; design of containment structures; and size of breaks or leaks in cooling systems. The text also describes the dispersion of radioactive materials, including problems in operations, diffusion theory, and nomograms for graphical solutions. The book also highlights the possible damages that a nuclear reactor accident can produce. Considerations include the permissible dose of radiation, exposure to nuclear radiations, and evacuation from a contaminated area. The text is a valuable source of data for readers, engineers, and physicists who are responsible in hazard analysis and site selection.

  • A Collection of Problems on a Course of Mathematical Analysis

    International Series of Monographs in Pure and Applied Mathematics
    • 1st Edition
    • G. N. Berman
    • I. N. Sneddon + 2 more
    • English
    A Collection of Problems on a Course of Mathematical Analysis is a collection of systematically selected problems and exercises (with corresponding solutions) in mathematical analysis. A common instruction precedes a group of problems of the same type. Problems with a physics content are preceded by the necessary physical laws. In the case of more or less difficult problems, hints are given in the answers. This book is comprised of 15 chapters and begins with an overview of functions and methods of specifying them; notation for and classification of functions; elementary investigation of functions; and trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions. The following chapters deal with limits and tests for their existence; differential calculus, with emphasis on derivatives and differentials; functions and curves; definite and indefinite integrals; and methods of evaluating definite integrals. Some applications of the integral in geometry, statics, and physics are also considered; along with functions of several variables; multiple integrals and iterated integration; line and surface integrals; and differential equations. The final chapter is devoted to trigonometric series. This monograph is intended for students studying mathematical analysis within the framework of a technical college course.

  • Introduction to the Theory of Shells

    Structures and Solid Body Mechanics
    • 1st Edition
    • Clive L Dym
    • B. G. Neal
    • English
    Introduction to the Theory of Shells centers on the foundations of shell theory, and to some of the important problems that can be tackled within the framework of shell theory. Organized into seven chapters, this book begins with an explanation of the elements of the theory of surfaces and the construction of a shell theory. Subsequent chapter describes a class of shells known as membrane shells, or membranes. Other chapters detail the bending of circular cylinders; shells of revolution; and axisymmetric vibrations of circular cylinders. This book will be useful as a text that represents a one-semester beginning for students with a reasonable (first course) background in elasticity theory.

    • English
    A Course of Mathematical Analysis, Part I is a textbook that shows the procedure for carrying out the various operations of mathematical analysis. Propositions are given with a precise statement of the conditions in which they hold, along with complete proofs. Topics covered include the concept of function and methods of specifying functions, as well as limits, derivatives, and differentials. Definite and indefinite integrals, curves, and numerical, functional, and power series are also discussed. This book is comprised of nine chapters and begins with an overview of mathematical analysis and its meaning, together with some historical notes and the geometrical interpretation of numbers. The reader is then introduced to functions and methods of specifying them; notation for and classification of functions; and elementary investigation of functions. Subsequent chapters focus on limits and rules for passage to the limit; the concepts of derivatives and differentials in differential calculus; definite and indefinite integrals and applications of integrals; and numerical, functional, and power series. This monograph will be a valuable resource for engineers, mathematicians, and students of engineering and mathematics.
