      Full-Stack Development from the Ground Up: Principles, Practices, and Technologies addresses the growing need for a comprehensive upper-division computer science textbook that provides in-depth treatment of full-stack web development using the modern web development technologies that students are likely to encounter in industry. Professional full-stack web developers who are capable of developing both the front-end user interfaces and back-end databases and services for dynamic websites are in high demand. The book begins by laying a foundation in HTML, CSS and JavaScript—the building blocks of client-side web development.It then explores one particular web development stack in detail: MERN, which stands for MongoDB, Express.js, React.js and Node.js. Together, these four technologies provide powerful support for full-stack web development in a single programming language—JavaScript. The crucial final step in the web development process is deploying apps to a server, so users can interact with them. This book simplifies deployment by focusing on just one web deployment environment: Amazon Web Services (AWS), and only those AWS tools that are absolutely necessary to deploy MERN applications.

      For over fifty years, Boundary Value Problems and Partial Differential Equations, Seventh Edition has provided advanced students an accessible and practical introduction to deriving, solving, and interpreting explicit solutions involving partial differential equations with boundary and initial conditions. Fully revised and now in its Seventh Edition, this valued text aims to be comprehensive without affecting the accessibility and convenience of the original. The resource’s main tool is Fourier analysis, but the work covers other techniques, including Laplace transform, Fourier transform, numerical methods, characteristics, and separation of variables, as well, to provide well-rounded coverage. Mathematical modeling techniques are illustrated in derivations, which are widely used in engineering and science. In particular, this includes the modeling of heat distribution, a vibrating string or beam under various boundary conditions and constraints. New to this edition, the text also now uniquely discusses the beam equation. Throughout the text, examples and exercises have been included, pulled from the literature based on popular problems from engineering and science. These include some "outside-the-box" exercises at the end of each chapter, which provide challenging and thought-provoking practice that can also be used to promote classroom discussion. Chapters also include Projects, problems that synthesize or dig more deeply into the material that are slightly more involved than standard book exercises, and which are intended to support team solutions. Additional materials, exercises, animations, and more are also accessible to students via links and in-text QR codes to support practice and subject mastery.

      This newly revised and expanded Third Edition of Global Physical Climatology delineates the science of climate and climate change that spans the atmosphere, ocean, and land surface, and the interactions among them. It adds the latest literature to all the chapters and begins with a detailed introduction to the climate system. Then, it introduces the physics of the climate system, including the principles and processes that determine the structure and climate of the atmosphere, ocean, and land surface. More advanced sections apply the basic knowledge introduced earlier in the text in understanding natural variability of the climate in both the present and past, the sensitivity of climate to external forces, explanations for the ice ages, and the science of human-induced climate change. The physical principles and computer models necessary for understanding past climate and predicting future climate are also discussed. This book is recommended for upper division undergraduates and graduates in meteorology, atmospheric science, oceanography, and other environmental fields. It is also suitable for students with a background of at least one year of college physics and calculus as well as researchers in academia, government (military, NOAA, NWS), and policymakers.
