Living Math: Seeing mathematics in every day life (and appreciating it more too). by D. James Benton (6 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

A friend once told me that he couldn't remember the last time he had used calculus. How sad. I can't remember the last time I didn't use calculus. Mathematics isn't just esoteric busywork. It's the language of cause and effect-a description of why things work the way they do. Mathematics connects the dots in the picture that is the world around us. Understanding the mathematical relationships between objects and events will give you a whole different perspective, like seeing color in a world where others see only black and white. Join me on this adventure, in which I will take you on a tour of Living Math.

Monte Carlo Simulation: The Art of Random Process Characterization by D. James Benton (139 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

There are many textbooks devoted to the theory behind Monte Carlo methods. More often than not, these are heavy on theory and light on example. Rarely do they include the examples in their entirety, mostly presenting the final results in summary form. The aim of this text is to be light on theory and heavy on example. Each example is included in its entirety: input, output, and source code or spreadsheet. If you work through all the examples, you should be able to simulate whatever process is needed.

Style in Technical Math by Afshin Azari-Vala (22 Reviews)    Price verified 51 minutes ago

This textbook presents a selection of technical tools in basic math that foster fluency in working with numbers, measured values and algebraic equations. To this end, the textbook promotes the use of technical tools that are efficient and meaningful. Following the main theme of the textbook, we show how the increasing level of complexity of the problems that we, as humans, solve, leads to the need for the many tools and algorithms that are discussed in the textbook. The textbook caters to the needs of a wide variety of readers. Whether you are someone interested in self-study, a high school, college or university student, a parent, an educator, a scientist, a mathematician, or a linguist, this textbook has something for you and we hope that, after reading this book, it will be one that you will remember.

Particle Tracking: Computational Strategies and Diverse Examples by D. James Benton (4 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Tracking particles through a moving field, such as flowing air, ground, or surface water, is not only a powerful computational method but can also provide insightful visualizations. I have employed this process for a variety of problems from airborne contamination, thermal pollution, and contaminant transport in groundwater. I have even used it to successfully model the mixing of fluorescent dye through the confluence of three pumps in order to distinguish the time of arrival at the destination. While the Lagrangian method (based on time as the independent parameter) is most often used, the Hamiltonian method (based on time as a dependent parameter) can be much faster. Both are developed in this text, which includes many examples. Diffusion (spreading based on material properties) and also dispersion (based on local velocities) are derived, implemented, and illustrated in the text. Flow in factures within porous media, essential to accurately modeling karst formations, is also covered.

Thermochemical Reactions: Numerical Solutions by D. James Benton (5 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

Thermochemistry is the science of analyzing molecular reactions to determine if they are spontaneous, energy absorbing or releasing, and to predict the product mole ratios and rates. Chemical reactions, like most other processes, tend to follow the path of free energy minimization or entropy maximization. This principle forms the mathematical basis for the analytical approach. This book is a how-to manual, filled with many examples and comes with all the code you need to accomplish this task.
