This textbook serves admirably as an introduction for newcomers to Sage as well as a reference for those with some experience. It is written in an engaging and informal style and does an excellent job in explaining how Sage works. The book can be used profitably as an auxiliary text in any undergraduate mathematics class with a computational component, and it can be used in the mathematical sof…
Precalculus (was College Algebra) is an introductory text. The material is presented at a level intended to prepare students for Calculus while also giving them relevant mathematical skills that can be used in other classes. The authors describe their approach as "Functions First," believing introducing functions first will help students understand new concepts more completely. Each section inc…
These are notes for a course in precalculus, as it is taught at New York CityCollege of Technology — CUNY (where it is offered under the course numberMAT 1375). Our approach is calculator based. For this, we will use thecurrently standard TI-84 calculator, and in particular, many of the exampleswill be explained and solved with it. However, we want to point out thatthere are also many other c…
The authors are instructors at large community colleges in Ohio, and the book has now been adopted at several other locations. Those who have used the book expect to continue using it. One community college instructor now using it for the fourth time says he highly recommends the book to other colleagues and that his students often make positive comments about the book. He has found the authors…
The eight volume of this series "Acarorum Catalogus" is devoted to Superfamilia Cheyletoidea (Cheyletidae, Psorergatidae, Demodecidae, Harpyrhynchidae, Syringophilidae) and Superfamilia Cloacaroidea (Cloacaridae, Epimyodicidae). About 1243 species of 177 genera are listed therein, with synonymies and citations in various papers. The book also contains a list of by-country distributions, type lo…
Alternative Analytical Method Used in Calculus of Hyper Static Mechanical Systems, in Plotting the Distribution of Shear Force, Bending Moment, Displacements and Rotations of Section Beam
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…
Air Movement Within Enclosed Road-Objects with Contra-Traffica CFD-Investigation
Precalculus: An Investigation of Functions is a free, open textbook covering a two-quarter pre-calculus sequence including trigonometry. The first portion of the book is an investigation of functions, exploring the graphical behavior of, interpretation of, and solutions to problems involving linear, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions. An emphasis is placed on modeling a…
Dental air abrasion is a minimally invasive, ultraconservative method, with indication of choice for incipient fissural caries, which still count for 90% of newly appeared caries and raise diagnosing problems of the lesional stage. In this context, the aim of the paper was to use and assess dental air abrasion as an alternative technique for the preparation of dental structures, both on extract…
