Precalculus
The Mathematics Department of the University of Washington designed its precalculus to concentrate on two goals:A review of the essential mathematics needed to succeed in calculusAn emphasis on problem solving, the idea being to gain both experience and confidence in working with a particular set of mathematical toolsThis text was written with those goals in mind. It does not look like the wide…

Keeping the World’s Environment under Review
How do we take stock of the state and direction of the world’s environment, and what can we learn from the experience? Among the myriad detailed narratives about the condition of the planet, the Global Environment Outlook (GEO) reports—issued by the United Nations Environment Programme—stand out as the most ambitious. For nearly three decades the GEO project has not only delivered iconic …

A Diffusion Hydrodynamic Model
The Diffusion Hydrodynamic Model (DHM), as presented in the 1987 USGS publication, was one of the first computational fluid dynamics computational programs based on the groundwater program MODFLOW, which evolved into the control volume modeling approach. Over the following decades, others developed similar computational programs that either used the methodology and approaches presented in the D…

Linear Algebra, Theory and Applications
This is a book on linear algebra and matrix theory. While it is self contained, it will work best for those who have already had some exposure to linear algebra. It is also assumed that the reader has had calculus. Some optional topics require more analysis than this, however.This book features an ugly, elementary and complete treatment of determinants early in the book. Thus it might be consid…

Linear Algebra
This book has the standard content of a course for science, math and engineering students that follows calculus. A semester of calculus is the explicit prerequisite, but most students would have three semesters of calculus and for them some of the beginning sections of the book can be skipped. Each chapter ends with three or four applications of that chapter’s subject.From the author’s desc…

Study of an alternative phase field model for low interfacial energy in elast…
In 2005, the hybrid model was published by Prof. H.-D. Alber and Prof. P. Zhu as an alternative to the Allen-Cahn model for the description of phase field transformations. With low interfacial energy, it is more efficient, since the resolution of the diffuse interface is numerically broader for the same solution accuracy and allows coarser meshing. The solutions of both models are associated wi…
