Sinopsis

Judging from the email communications that I've received from so many of you, the biggest deficiency of the first edition is that it provides no sample solutions to any of the problems. So here they are. Every chapter now contains a new Selected Solutions section that gives answers to a representative cross-section of that chapter's exercises and problems. To make up for the loss of the solved problems as interesting homework challenges, I've also added a variety of new problems. Instructors may request an Instructor's Manual that contains additional solutions by contacting the sales representative for their region designated at www. course. comn.

A number of readers would have liked more coverage of certain "standard" topics, particularly the Myhill-Nerode Theorem and Rice's Theorem. I've partially accommodated these readers by developing these topics in the solved problems. I did not include the Myhill-Nerode Theorem in the main body of the text because I believe that this course should provide only an introduction to finite automata and not a deep investigation.

Sinopsis

Why Do We Need to Know this Stuff?
 

The number system with which we are most familiar is the decimal system, which is based on ten digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. As we shall soon discover, however, it’s easier for electronic systems to work with data that is represented using the binary number system, which comprises only two digits: 0 and 1.
 

Unfortunately, it’s difficult for humans to visualize large values presented as strings of 0s and 1s. Thus, as an alternative, we often use the hexadecimal number system, which is based on sixteen digits that we represent
by using the numbers 0 through 9 and the letters A through F. 

Familiarity with the binary and hexadecimal number systems is necessary in order to truly understand how computers and calculators perform their magic. In this chapter, we will discover just enough to make us dangerous, and then we’ll return to consider number systems and representations in more detail in Chapters 4, 5, and 6.
 

Counting on Fingers and Toes
 

The first tools used as aids to calculation were almost certainly man’s own fingers. It is no coincidence, therefore, that the word “digit” is used to refer to a finger (or toe) as well as a numerical quantity. As the need grew to represent greater quantities, small stones or pebbles could be used to represent larger numbers than could fingers and toes. These had the added advantage of being able to store intermediate results for later use. Thus, it is also no coincidence that the word “calculate” is derived from the Latin word for pebble.
 

Throughout history, humans have experimented with a variety of different number systems. For example, you might use one of your thumbs to count the finger joints on the same hand (1, 2, 3 on the index finger; 4, 5, 6 on the next finger; up to 10, 11, 12 on the little finger). Based on this technique, some of our ancestors experimented with base- 12 systems. This explains why we have special words like dozen, meaning “twelve,” and gross, meaning “one hundred and forty-four” (12 × 12 = 144). The fact that we have 24 hours in a day (2 × 12) is also related to these base-12 systems.
 

Similarly, some groups used their fingers and toes for counting, so they ended up with base-20 systems. This is why we still have special

Sinopsis

When I was young, back in the 1970s and 80s, I read a lot of science fiction.I read a lot of other stu􀏱, as well, but science 􀏧ction (and fantasy) 􀏧lled a need that other literature simply didn’t. I tended to read “hard” science 􀏧ction, that is, stories plotted around hard science: physics, astrophysics, giant engineering projects, and the like. The worlds these stories portrayed, where space travel was common, human problems such as poverty were nearly eliminated, and con􀏩icts centered on larger-than-life issues, always seemed to me more compelling than human dramas that revolved around why someone didn’t love someone else.

My tastes have changed since then, but the initial thrill of these stories has never really left me. I am a scientist because of my initial love of these tales. A chill still runs down my spine whenever I look at a Hubble Telescope photo or learn of a new exoplanet discovered. I live in hope that I will be alive when life on other planets is discovered. I still want to take a vacation to the Moon or to an orbiting satellite. These thrills are tempered by my adult realization that much of what goes into science 􀏧ction is quite unrealistic. This book is written for my 􀏧fteen-year-old self, and other readers like him, who would like to know which parts of science 􀏧ction are based on real science, and therefore in some way plausible, and which parts are unrealistic. This is the book I would have wanted to read when I was young. Just as for Niven’s correspondent, my interest in science 􀏧ction was mostly in the strange environments, the new worlds, the alien life, the superscience it portrayed. I wanted to know which parts were (potentially) real and which weren’t. To a large extent, that is why I eventually became a physicist.

Almost any science 􀏧ction story has a lot of incorrect science. This doesn’t make the story bad or invalid. Some authors, like Larry Niven, are almost obsessive in trying to get the science right; most are more lackadaisical about it. However, the standards for the profession are pretty high: no science 􀏧ction writer can be really esteemed accomplished unless he or she has a thorough knowledge of basic physics, chemistry, biology, astrophysics, history (ancient and modern), sociology, and military tactics; and besides all this, must possess a certain something in their air and manner of writing, or their profession will be but half-deserved. (Improvement of their minds by extensive reading goes without saying.) Science 􀏧ction writers do not have the same opportunities as research scientists do to stay up-to-date in their research 􀏧elds, and writing science 􀏧ction involves a lot more 􀏧elds than most research scientists can keep up with.

This book is one physicist’s attempt to discuss the science, particularly the physics and mathematics, that goes into writing hard science 􀏧ction. As an added bonus, I also take a look at physics in fantasy writing: there’s more in it than meets the eye. This is not an attempt to predict the future: as G. K. Chesterton pointed out, most of the fun in predicting the future comes from burying the people who attempt to do it [50]. Rather, I stick to the science used in crafting the stories. There are many books dedicated to the literary criticism of science 􀏧ction; this book is devoted to its scientific critique. As such, my choice of which literature to use is dictated both by my own reading and by the needs of the book. I tend to avoid writers who don’t make much use of science in their stories, except occasionally to comment on their errors. I also tend to stick to literature, that is, novels and short stories, although I occasionally comment on science 􀏧ction movies or television shows as well.

Download PDF CALCULUS EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS 9TH Edition by HOWARD ANTON

Sinopsis

One of the important themes in calculus is the analysis of relationships between physical or mathematical quantities. Such relationships can be described in terms of graphs, formulas, numerical data, or words. In this chapter we will develop the concept of a “function,” which is the basic idea that underlies almost all mathematical and physical relationships, regardless of the form in which they are expressed. We will study properties of some of the most basic functions that occur in calculus, including polynomials, trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, exponential functions, and logarithmic functions.

Many scientific laws and engineering principles describe how one quantity depends on another. This idea was formalized in 1673 by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (see p. xx) who coined the term function to indicate the dependence of one quantity on another, as described in the following definition.

In the mid-eighteenth century the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (pronounced “oiler”) conceived the idea of denoting functions by letters of the alphabet, thereby making it possible to refer to functions without stating specific formulas, graphs, or tables. To understand Euler’s idea, think of a function as a computer program that takes an input x, operates on it in some way, and produces exactly one output y. The computer program is an object in its own right, so we can give it a name, say f . Thus, the function f (the computer program) associates a unique output y with each input x (Figure 0.1.2). This suggests the following definition.

Sinopsis

Two types of approach can be suggested to the question posed by the title of this chapter. On the one hand we might attempt to settle a priori on the criteria for mathematics and then review how far what we [ nd in di\ erent ancient cultures measures up to those criteria. Or we could proceed more empirically or inductively by studying those diverse traditions and then deriving an answer to our question on the basis of our [ ndings.
 

Both approaches are faced with di7 culties. On what basis can we decide on the essential characteristics of mathematics? If we thought, commonsensically, to appeal to a dictionary de[ nition, which dictionary are we to follow? 9 ere is far from perfect unanimity in what is on o\ er, nor can it be said that there are obvious, crystal clear, considerations that would enable us to adjudicate uncontroversially between divergent philosophies of mathematics. What mathematics is will be answered quite di\ erently by the Platonist, the constructivist, the intuitionist, the logicist, or the formalist (to name but some of the views on the twin fundamental questions of what mathematics studies, and what knowledge it produces). 9 e converse di7 culty that faces the second approach is that we have to have some prior idea of what is to count as ‘mathematics’ to be able to start our cross-cultural study. Other cultures have other terms and concepts and their interpretation poses delicate problems. Faced with evident divergence and heterogeneity, at what point do we have to say that we are not dealing with a di\ erent concept of mathematics, but rather with a concept that has nothing to do with mathematics at all? 9 e past provides ample examples of the dangers involved in legislating that certain practices and ideas fall beyond the boundaries of acceptable disciplines.
 

My own discussion here, which will concentrate largely on just two ancient mathematical traditions, namely Greek and Chinese, will owe more to the second than to the [ rst approach. Of course to study the ancient Greek or Chinese contributions in this area—their theories and their actual practices—we have to adopt a provisional idea of what can be construed as mathematical, principally how numbers and shapes or [ gures were conceived and manipulated. But as we explore further their ancient ideas of what the studies of such comprised, we can expect that our own understanding will be subject to modi[ cation as we proceed. We join up, as we shall see, with those problems in the philosophy of mathematics I mentioned: so in a sense a combination of both approaches is inevitable. Both the Greeks and the Chinese had terms for studies that deal, at least in part, with what we can easily recognize as mathematical matters, and this can provide an entry into the problems, though the lack of any exact equivalent to our notion in both cases is obvious from the outset. I shall [ rst discuss the issues as they relate to Greece before turning to the less familiar data from ancient China.

Download PDF Advanced Mathematics and Mechanics Applications Using Matlab Third Edition by Howard B. Wilson

Sinopsis

This book presents variousMATLAB applications in mechanics and applied mathematics. Our objective is to employ numerical methods in examples emphasizing the appeal of MATLAB as a programming tool. The programs are intended for study as a primary component of the text. The numerical methods used include interpolation, numerical integration, Þnite differences, linear algebra, Fourier analysis, roots of nonlinear equations, linear differential equations, nonlinear differential equations, linear partial differential equations, analytic functions, and optimization methods. Many intrinsic MATLAB functions are used along with some utility functions developed by the authors. The physical applications vary widely from solution of linear and nonlinear differential equations in mechanical system dynamics to geometrical property calculations for areas and volumes.
 

For many years FORTRAN has been the favorite programming language for solving mathematical and engineering problems on digital computers. An attractive alternative is MATLAB which facilitates program development with excellent error diagnostics and code tracing capabilities. Matrices are handled efÞciently with many intrinsic functions performing familiar linear algebra tasks. Advanced software features such as dynamic memory allocation and interactive error tracing reduce the time to get solutions. The versatile but simple graphics commands in MATLAB also allow easy preparation of publication quality graphs and surface plots for technical papers and books. The authors have found that MATLAB programs are often signifantly shorter than corresponding FORTRAN versions. Consequently, more time is available for the primary purpose of computing, namely, to better understand physical system behavior.
 

The mathematical foundation needed to grasp most topics presented here is covered in an undergraduate engineering curriculum. This should include a grounding in calculus, differential equations, and knowledge of a procedure oriented programming language like FORTRAN. An additional course on advanced engineering mathematics covering linear algebra, matrix differential equations, and eigenfunction solutions of partial differential equations will also be valuable. The MATLAB programs were written primarily to serve as instructional examples in classes traditionally referred to as advanced engineering mathematics and applied numerical methods. The greatest beneÞt to the reader will probably be derived through study of the programs relating mainly to physics and engineering applications. Furthermore, we believe that several of the MATLAB functions are useful as general utilities. Typical examples include routines for spline interpolation, differentiation, and integration; area and inertial moments for general plane shapes; and volume and inertial properties of arbitrary polyhedra. We have also included examples demonstrating natural frequency analysis and wave propagation in strings and membranes.
 

MATLAB is now employed in more than two thousand universities and the user community throughout the world numbers in the thousands. Continued growth will be fueled by decreasing hardware costs and more people familiar with advanced analytical methods. The authors hope that our problem solutions will motivate analysts already comfortable with languages like FORTRAN to learnMATLAB. The rewards of such efforts can be considerable.

Sinopsis

Computational science is a blend of applications, computations and mathematics. It is a mode of scientific investigation that supplements the traditional laboratory and theoretical methods of acquiring knowledge. This is done by formulating mathematical models whose solutions are approximated by computer simulations. By making a sequence of adjustments to the model and subsequent computations one can gain some insights into the application area under consideration. This text attempts to illustrate this process as a method for scientific investigation. Each section of the first six chapters is motivated by a particular application, discrete or continuous model, numerical method, computer implementation and an assessment of what has been done.
 

Applications include heat di􀀞usion to cooling fins and solar energy storage, pollutant transfer in streams and lakes, models of vector and multiprocessing computers, ideal and porous fluid flows, deformed membranes, epidemic models with dispersion, image restoration and value of American put option contracts. The models are initially introduced as discrete in time and space, and this allows for an early introduction to partial di􀀞erential equations. The discrete models have the form of matrix products or linear and nonlinear systems. Methods include sparse matrix iteration with stability constraints, sparse matrix solutions via variation on Gauss elimination, successive over-relaxation, conjugate gradient, and minimum residual methods. Picard and Newton methods are used to approximate the solution to nonlinear systems. Most sections in the first five chapters have MATLAB R° the very a􀀞ordable current student version of MATLAB. They are intended to be studied and not used as a "black box." The MATLAB codes should be used as a first step towards more sophisticated numerical modeling. These codes do provide a learning by doing environment. The exercises at the end of each section have three categories: routine computations, variation of models, and mathematical analysis. The last four chapters focus on multiprocessing algorithms, which are implemented using message passing interface, MPI; see Rocks" cluster software. These chapters have elementary Fortran 9x codes to illustrate the basic MPI subroutines, and the applications of the previous chapters are revisited from a parallel implementation perspective.

Sinopsis

Computers are best suited for repetitive calculations and for organizing data into specialized forms. In this chapter, we review the matrix and vector notation and their manipulations and applications. Vector is a one-dimensional array of numbers and/or characters arranged as a single column. The number of rows is called the order of that vector. Matrix is an extension of vector when a set of numbers and/or  characters are arranged in rectangular form. If it has M rows and N column, this matrix then is said to be of order M by N. When M = N, then we say this square matrix is of order N (or M). It is obvious that vector is a special case of matrix when there is only one column. Consequently, a vector is referred to as a column matrix as opposed to the row matrix which has only one row. Braces are conventionally used to indicate a vector such as {V} and brackets are for a matrix such as [M]. In writing a computer program, DIMENSION or DIM statements are necessary to declare that a certain variable is a vector or a matrix. Such statements instruct the computer to assign multiple memory spaces for keeping the values of that vector or matrix. When we deal with a large number of different entities in a group, it is better to arrange these entities in vector or matrix form and refer to a particular entity by specifying where it is located in that group by pointing to the row (and column) number(s). Such as in the case of having 100 numbers represented by the variable names A, B, …, or by A(1) through A(100), the former requires 100 different characters or combinations of characters and the latter certainly has the advantage of having only one name. The A(1) through A(100) arrangement is to adopt a vector; these numbers can also be arranged in a matrix of 10 rows and 10 columns, or 20 rows and five columns depending on the characteristics of these numbers. In the cases of collecting the engineering data from tests of 20 samples during five different days, then arranging these 100 data into a matrix of 20 rows and five columns will be better than of 10 rows and 10 columns because each column contains the data collected during a particular day.

Sinopsis

Geometrical optics uses light rays to describe image formation by spherical surfaces, lenses, mirrors, and optical instruments. Let us consider the real image of a real object, produced by a positive thin lens. Cones of light are assumed to diverge from each object point to the lens. There the cones of light are transformed into converging beams traveling to the corresponding real image points. We develop a very simple method for a geometrical construction of the image, using just two rays among the object, the image, and the lens.We decompose the object into object points and draw a line from each object point through the center of the lens. A formula is developed to give the distance of the image point, when the distance of the object point and the focal length of the lens are known. We assume that the line from object to image point makes only small angles with the axis of the system. This approximation is called the paraxial theory.

Download PDF Linear Algebra with Applications Eighth Edition by Steven J. Leon

Sinopsis

Probably the most important problem in mathematics is that of solving a system of linear equations. Well over 75 percent of all mathematical problems encountered in scientific or industrial applications involve solving a linear system at some stage. By using the methods of modern mathematics, it is often possible to take a sophisticated problem and reduce it to a single system of linear equations. Linear systems arise in applications to such areas as business, economics, sociology, ecology, demography, genetics, electronics, engineering, and physics. Therefore, it seems appropriate to begin this book with a section on linear systems.

Download PDF Numerical Analysis NINTH EDITION by Richard L. Burden

Sinopsis

This book was written for a sequence of courses on the theory and application of numerical approximation techniques. It is designed primarily for junior-level mathematics, science, and engineering majors who have completed at least the standard college calculus sequence. Familiarity with the fundamentals of linear algebra and differential equations is useful, but there is sufficient introductory material on these topics so that courses in these subjects are not needed as prerequisites.

The book contains sufficient material for at least a full year of study, but we expect many people to use it for only a single-term course. In such a single-term course, students learn to identify the types of problems that require numerical techniques for their solution and see examples of the error propagation that can occur when numerical methods are applied. They accurately approximate the solution of problems that cannot be solved exactly and learn typical techniques for estimating error bounds for the approximations. The remainder of the text then serves as a reference for methods not considered in the course. Either the full-year or single-course treatment is consistent with the philosophy of the text.

Virtually every concept in the text is illustrated by example, and this edition contains more than 2600 class-tested exercises ranging from elementary applications of methods and algorithms to generalizations and extensions of the theory. In addition, the exercise sets include numerous applied problems from diverse areas of engineering as well as from the physical, computer, biological, economic, and social sciences. The chosen applications clearly and concisely demonstrate how numerical techniques can be, and often must be, applied in real-life situations.

Sinopsis

Calculus is fundamentally different from the mathematics that you have studied previously: calculus is less static and more dynamic. It is concerned with change and motion; it deals with quantities that approach other quantities. For that reason it may be useful to have an overview of the subject before beginning its intensive study. Here we give a glimpse of some of the main ideas of calculus by showing how the concept of a limit arises when we attempt to solve a variety of problems.

Our goal in this book is not only to introduce and review fundamental math skills, but also to provide a means for you to practice applying these skills. Toward this end, we have included a number of “Check Your Skills” questions throughout each chapter. After each topic, do these problems one at a time, checking your answers at the back of the chapter as you go. If you find these questions challenging, re-read the section you just finished.

Whether you work with numbers every day or avoid them religiously, give a good read to this first section, which gives “quick-start” definitions for core concepts. We’ll come back to many of these concepts throughout the book. Moreover, bolded terms in this section can be found in the glossary at the back of the book.

Sinopsis

Propositional logic helps us to navigate in a world painted in black and white, a world in which there is only truth or falsehood, but nothing in between. It is a boiled down version of common sense reasoning. It is the essence of Sherlock Holmes' way of deducing that Professor Moriarty was the mastermind behind a criminal organization (“Elementary, my dear Watson”). Propositional logic builds on the following two propositions, which are declared to be true as basic principles (and they seem to make sense. . . ):
