Geometry and Its Applications (Textbooks in Mathematics)

This unique textbook combines traditional geometry presents a contemporary approach that is grounded in real-world applications. It balances the deductive approach with discovery learning, introduces axiomatic, Euclidean and non-Euclidean, and transformational geometry. The text integrates applications and examples throughout. The Third Edition offers many updates, including expaning on historical notes, Geometry and Its Applications is a significant text for any college or university that focuses on geometry's usefulness in other disciplines. It is especially appropriate for engineering and science majors, as well as future mathematics teachers. The Third Edition streamlines the treatment from the previous two editions Treatment of axiomatic geometry has been expanded Nearly 300 applications from all fields are included An emphasis on computer science-related applications appeals to student interest Many new excercises keep the presentation fresh

Designed primarily with liberal arts majors in mind, Mathematics and the Currents of Change presents, in clearly written prose and examples, contemporary real-world applications of mathematics, using those applications to provide the student with a fresh look at the subject. Using examples as starting points, the text covers a variety of modern applications, including DNA sequencing, scheduling, sharing, voting methods, apportionment, growth and decline of populations and of savings and debt, data transmission and storage, encryption, visual art, and the global positioning system. Reviewers and faculty who have used Mathematics and the Currents of Change praise its clarity of explanation and the clearly worked-out examples that foreshadow the basic exercises at the end of each section. The authors catch students’ attention by presenting corners of everyday life and then, step by step, introducing mathematics to analyze these situations. In this way, Mathematics and the Currents of Change gives students a fresh start in mathematics, rather than trying to build on recalled, but not necessarily mastered or enjoyed, topics from high-school math classes.

In clearly written prose and examples, Logic and Reasoning in the 21st Century presents contemporary real-world applications of mathematics that provide the student with a fresh look at math. Using examples as starting points, the text explores symbolic logic, deductive reasoning, set theory, making decisions under uncertainty, and analyzing two-person games.  The text opens with symbolic logic and binary arithmetic, used to design circuits for everyday devices such as warning buzzers in cars and adders for calculators. Simplifying Boolean expressions is then presented, using traditional equivalences and Karnaugh maps. In the section on logical deductions, the book introduces a visual interpretation of the resolution method that is used by computers in artificial intelligence applications. The ensuing chapter on set theory is strongly grounded in modern applications, while the concluding chapters treat two reasoning topics often absent from similar texts: decision trees and game trees.   Logic and Reasoning in the 21st Century is intended for use in a general liberal arts math course, typically with high-school algebra as a prerequisite. The authors catch students' attention by presenting what seems to be a nonmathematical corner of everyday modern life and then systematically introducing the mathematics behind the application. In this way, students get a fresh start in mathematics rather than simply building on recalled - and not necessarily mastered or enjoyed - topics from high-school math.  Instructors have praised prepublication editions of Logic and Reasoning in the 21st Century for its clarity of presentation - especially the interesting, accessible, modern examples worked out in detail - while students at both two-year and four-year colleges have said the text represents the first mathematics course they have liked and were able to master.

During mid-to-late 1944, the German military became increasingly concerned that the USAAF was about to deploy high-flying Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers over Europe and decided to take urgent action. The Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) or German Air Ministry produced a set of specifications for a new fighter aircraft propelled by a single turbojet engine that would be capable of tackling the new threat. All the largest German aircraft manufacturers were called upon to put forward designs for this 'Emergency Fighter Competition'. The winning design would be expected to not only take on the B-29 but also defeat high-altitude fast piston-engine types such as the British de Havilland Mosquito and the Lockheed P-38 Lightning too.The resulting designs were right at the cutting edge of what was technically possible in 1944 - Focke-Wulf offered what would become the Ta 183, Blohm und Voss the radical P.212, Junkers the advanced EF.128 and Messerschmitt a whole range of designs beginning with the P.1101 and progressing through the P.1106, P.1110 and P.1111.The specification called with these aircraft to be equipped with heavy cannon but the companies also considered how to arm them with the then-high-tech air-to-air rockets and missiles such as the X-4.Luftwaffe Emergency Fighters 1944-45 examines the history of this extraordinary fighter competition and looks at the aircraft designs put forward for what might have been Germany's last hope in the air war.
