Hydroinformatics has become an important support in water resources decision-making processes. This two-volume set deals with a variety of topics, including: data collection, storage and retrieval; numerical modelling; object-orientated programming; and artificial intelligence.

Jong and Rogers have written an in depth text covering various topics of the first courses in statics and dynamics offered in the sophmore or junior year in engineering colleges. Students are assumed to have a background in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and basic differential and integral calculus. Students with prior knowledge of college level physics will have an added advantage for learning statics and dynamics. Mechanics has long been recognized as a deductive science. However, the lear...

The rigorous development process used to create Mechanics for Engineers: Statics and Dynamics by Das, Kassimali & Sami insures that it's accessible and accurate. Each draft was scrutinized by a panel of your peers to suggest improvements and flush out any flaws. These carefully selected reviewers offered valuable suggestions on content, approach, accessibility, realism, and homework problems. The author team then incorporated their comments to insure that Mechanics for Engineers: Statics reflect...

This book presents classical relativistic mechanics and electrodynamics in the Feynman-Stueckelberg event-oriented framework formalized by Horwitz and Piron. The full apparatus of classical analytical mechanics is generalized to relativistic form by replacing Galilean covariance with manifest Lorentz covariance and introducing a coordinate-independent parameter 𝜏 to play the role of Newton's universal and monotonically advancing time. Fundamental physics is described by the 𝜏-evolution of a sys...

Focusing on the conceptual understanding of mechanics, this exciting new text addresses developments in the methods of analyzing mechanics problems. It fully incorporates the highly sophisticated computational software packages currently available to students. The text provides transition material to higher level courses, as well as a wealth of problems to foster understanding. All sample problems and the use of computational software (MathCAD, MATLAB, Mathematica and Maple) are presented in fou...

Developed with the cooperation of a science consultant, this book in the Primary Physical Science series is a tool to teach the physical sciences to young children. Move It! follows science curricula and is loaded with surprising facts and hands-on activities designed to hold young readers' interest and tap into their fascination with the everyday world. Move It! explores the physics of why and how things move.

For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in atmospheric, oceanic, and climate science, Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics is an introductory textbook on the circulations of the atmosphere and ocean and their interaction, with an emphasis on global scales. It will give students a good grasp of what the atmosphere and oceans look like on the large-scale and why they look that way. The role of the oceans in climate and paleoclimate is also discussed. The combination of observa...

This book provides an accessible introduction to intermediate-level electrodynamics with computa- tional approaches to complement a traditional mathematical treatment of the subject. It covers key topics in electrodynamics, such as electromagnetic fields, forces, potentials, and waves as well as Special Theory of Relativity. Through intuition-building examples and visualizations in the Python programming language, it helps readers to develop technical computing skills in numerical and symbolic...
