This Third Edition reflects advances in the field and feedback from professors and students and is packed with illustrative examples and case studies.

About the book

It is often taken for granted that the Standard Model of Particle Physics is the most successful scientific theory ever developed. However, since its inception in the 1970s, it has been widely recognized that as long as gravity remains excluded from its framework, a deeper theoretical level must exist beyond it. To bridge this gap, two possible approaches can be taken: one is to push forward by embedding the Standard Model within a more comprehensive theory; the other is to cri...

Introduces aspiring and practicing actuaries, engineers, computer scientists and others to the practical aspects of constructing computerized simulation studies to analyze and interpret real phenomena. This title presents the statistics needed to analyze simulated data as well as that needed for validating the simulation model.

Comprehensive Biomaterials II, Second Edition, Seven Volume Set brings together the myriad facets of biomaterials into one expertly-written series of edited volumes. Articles address the current status of nearly all biomaterials in the field, their strengths and weaknesses, their future prospects, appropriate analytical methods and testing, device applications and performance, emerging candidate materials as competitors and disruptive technologies, research and development, regulatory managem...

A re-issued edition of this well-known optics textbook. Designed for intermediate and upper level undergraduates in physics and engineering, the third edition covers the traditional areas of optics whilst including modern applications.

Its Here! The AP® Biology Program Youve Been Asking For.

Biology for the AP® Course, 1st Edition grew out of a belief that the AP® Biology classroom could benefit from a textbook that matches the goals and organization of the course. Although the course content is the equivalent of a first year college biology course, AP® teachers and students face unique challenges. This book is designed to provide the rigor expected for the course, while addressing the need for careful pacing. It provid...

Evolved from McQuarrie and Simon's best-selling textbook, Physical Chemistry: A Molecular Approach, this text focuses in on the thermodynamics portion of the course. Although many of the chapters in Molecular Thermodynamics are similar to chapters in the larger physical chemistry text, new material has been added throughout along with three entirely new chapters on "The Energy Levels of Atoms and Molecules", "Thermodynamics of Electrochemical Cells", and "Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics". The t...

Kepler's "Dioptrice" is a seminal work in the fields of optics and astronomy. Written in response to the ground-breaking telescopic discoveries announced by Galileo Galilei in March 1610, the "Dioptrice" contained the first theory of the telescope—a theory that Kepler was uniquely qualified to develop—and provided an essential foundation for modern geometrical optics.

In the preface, Kepler highlights several examples of the close links which, then as now, exist between optics and astro...

Utilizing technology and extensive support for student success.

The Practice of Statistics is the most trusted program for AP® Statistics because it provides teachers and students with everything they need to be successful in the statistics course and on the AP® Exam. With the expert authorship of high school AP® Statistics veterans, Daren Starnes and Josh Tabor and their supporting team of AP® teacher/leaders, The UPDATED Practice of Statistics, Sixth edition features a revised organiza...
