Roger Chretien is found drowned in his upstairs study, soaking wet and draped in the Jolly Roger. When his brothers, James, and John return home to Lake Charles Louisiana to bury their brother, they never imagine it will become a life changing moment. Together with John's daughter Jenny, her friend Robert, Roger's friends, Margot Sallier, Diz and Daz and a tenuous relationship with Detective Sergeant Antoine Durel of the Lake Charles Police Department, they will become embroiled in a myste...

Secrets can only exist in the shadows. This secret has been hidden for over two hundred years guarded by the families who will go to any lengths to protect it. When Nanette Chretien begins to search into her family history, she has no idea her quest will lead her into a web of lies, deceit, abduction and murder.Her journey begins with her friend Sherylynn Alexander, Alex, on a train bound for New Orleans. There she meets James Chretien, a long lost cousin who with the rest of Chret...

This superb text introduces number theory to readers with limited formal mathematical training. Intended for use in freshman- and sophomore-level courses in arts and science curricula, in teacher-training programs, and in enrichment programs for high-school students, it is filled with simple problems to stimulate readers' interest, challenge their abilities and increase mathematical strength.Contents:I. IntroductionII. The Euclidean Algorithm and Its Consequences...

Classic two-part work now available in a single volume assumes no prior theoretical knowledge on reader's part and develops the subject fully. Volume I is a suitable first course text for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. Volume II requires a much higher level of mathematical maturity, including a working knowledge of the theory of analytic functions. Contents range from chapters on binary quadratic forms to the Thue-Siegel-Roth Theorem and the Prime Number Theorem. I...

This excellent textbook introduces the basics of number theory, incorporating the language of abstract algebra. A knowledge of such algebraic concepts as group, ring, field, and domain is not assumed, however; all terms are defined and examples are given — making the book self-contained in this respect.The author begins with an introductory chapter on number theory and its early history. Subsequent chapters deal with unique factorization and the GCD, quadratic residues, number-theor...

This book, first published in 2002, contains an introduction to hyperbolic partial differential equations and a powerful class of numerical methods for approximating their solution, including both linear problems and nonlinear conservation laws. These equations describe a wide range of wave propagation and transport phenomena arising in nearly every scientific and engineering discipline. Several applications are described in a self-contained manner, along with much of the mathematical theo...

Cet Abrégé Connaissances et pratique apporte les connaissances fondamentales en gynécologie et obstétrique. La première partie Connaissances développe, de manière synthétique et pratique les 38 items du programme pour lesquels la gynécologie et l'obstétrique sont concernées. L'ensemble des données de cette nouvelle édition a été mis à jour et un nouveau chapitre concernant la « Maltraitance et enfants en danger. Protection maternelle et infantile » a été ajouté. Traitant séparément la gyné...

These notes developed from a course on the numerical solution of conservation laws first taught at the University of Washington in the fall of 1988 and then at ETH during the following spring. The overall emphasis is on studying the mathematical tools that are essential in de veloping, analyzing, and successfully using numerical methods for nonlinear systems of conservation laws, particularly for problems involving shock waves. A reasonable un derstanding of the mathematical structure of t...
