This text in multivariable calculus fosters comprehension through meaningful explanations. Written with students in mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering in mind, it extends concepts from single variable calculus such as derivative, integral, and important theorems to partial derivatives, multiple integrals, Stokes’ and divergence theorems. Students with a background in single variable calculus are guided through a variety of problem solving techniques and practice problems.

Burstein, and Lax's Calculus with Applications and Computing offers meaningful explanations of the important theorems of single variable calculus. Written with students in mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering in mind, and revised with their help, it shows that the themes of calculation, approximation, and modeling are central to mathematics and the main ideas of single variable calculus. This edition brings the innovation of the first edition to a new generation of students....

The essential guide to radiation: the good, the bad, and the utterly fascinating, explained with unprecedented clarity.Earth, born in a nuclear explosion, is a radioactive planet; without radiation, life would not exist. And while radiation can be dangerous, it is also deeply misunderstood and often mistakenly feared. Now Robert Peter Gale, M.D,—the doctor to whom concerned governments turned in the wake of the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters—in collaboration with medical writer ...

"Tut mir leid!", sagt der Hase und schubst seinen Freund, das Häschen, in die Grube. Wie soll Häschen da je wieder herauskommen? Wie geht es ihm dort unten, wo Oben zu hoch oben ist? Keiner will ihm helfen. "Tut mir leid, hab' keine Zeit", antworten Eule, Pfau und Elster und lassen Häschen in der Grube zurück. Aber: sie können nicht aufhören, an es zu denken … Humorvoll erzählt Lisa Lax eine unterhaltsame Geschichte, in der es um Mitgefühl und Empathie geht. Ein Hörbuch zum Mit-fühlen und ...

Am Fuße des Snaefellsgletschers im äußersten Westen Islands versieht Pfarrer Jon Primus sein Amt. Doch die Art seiner Seelsorge ist eigen und was dem Bischof davon zu Ohren kommt, gibt Anlass zur Besorgnis: Der Mann repariere die Kirche nicht, taufe die Kinder nicht, beerdige die Toten nicht. Und was hat es mit der Leiche auf sich, die angeblich auf den Gletscher geschafft wurde? All dies soll ein junger Theologe erkunden, der sich als Vertreter des Bischofs in die Abgeschiedenheit des Gle...

This book provides a systemic approach to acute trauma care in line with the ABCDE paradigm and up-to-date information on assessing and managing major trauma from the pre-hospital to the rehabilitation phase. The book's early sections are dedicated to identifying and managing pathology caused by massive haemorrhage, airway, breathing, circulation or neurological trauma and examining the current evidence base relating to their management. The book then builds from fundamental skills to adva...
