Neither a list of theorems and proofs nor a recipe for elementary matrix calculations, this textbook acquaints the student of applied mathematics with the concepts of linear algebra -- why they are useful and how they are used. As each concept is introduced, it is applied to multivariable calculus or differential equations, extending and consolidating the student's understanding of those subjects in the process.

What happens when Sister Bear noticies that Mama's lap is shrinking? No, it's not that Mama is eating too much salmon and honey comb. Mama is going to have a baby! With a little help from Mama and Dr. Gert, Sister learns about the birds and the bees...and sonograms, too!

Die Unbedenklichkeit von Nahrungsmitteln und der Schutz der Umwelt haben nie eine größere Rolle gespielt als heute. Daher ist es unabdingbar, möglichst genau Bescheid zu wissen über die pflanzliche Verstoffwechslung von Agrarchemikalien sowie deren Überreste, die gegebenenfalls in der Pflanze verbleiben. Experten der agrarchemischen Industrie aus der ganzen Welt handeln primären Metabolismus, Pflanzenmetabolismus und gebundene Reste in diesem ...

CP violation is essential to understanding the universe in which we live. Without it there can be no dominance of matter over anti-matter. New experimental facilities, such as the B-factories, and new experimental techniques promise the first real advances in our understanding of this phenomenon since its discovery in the mid-60's.The Workshop on CP violation brought together representatives of all the major experimental collaborations and key...

Imparting both philosophy and working examples, Ehrlich provides the inspiration for innovative new programs in this e...

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Fourth Italian Conference on Sensors and Microsystems, held in Rome in 1999. Topics addressed include chemical sensors in organic and in inorganic materials, ChemFET, arrays of non-selective sensors, and fibre optics sensors.

Advances in metrology depend on improvements in scientific and technical knowledge and in instrumentation quality, as well as better use of advanced mathematical tools and development of new ones. In this volume, scientists from both the mathematical and the metrological fields exchange their experiences. Industrial sectors, such as instrumentation and software, are likely to benefit from this exchange, since metrology has a high impact on the...
