Do formulas exist for the solution to algebraical equations in one variable of any degree like the formulas for quadratic equations? The main aim of this book is to give new geometrical proof of Abel's theorem, as proposed by Professor V.I. Arnold. The theorem states that for general algebraical equations of a degree higher than 4, there are no formulas representing roots of these equations in terms of coefficients with only arithmetic operations and radicals. A secondary, and more important aim of this book, is to acquaint the reader with two very important branches of modern mathematics: group theory and theory of functions of a complex variable. This book also has the added bonus of an extensive appendix devoted to the differential Galois theory, written by Professor A.G. Khovanskii. As this text has been written assuming no specialist prior knowledge and is composed of definitions, examples, problems and solutions, it is suitable for self-study or teaching students of mathematics, from high school to graduate.

Compiled with the help of an internationally acclaimed panel of experts, the Ocean Engineering Handbook is the most complete reference available for ocean engineering professionals. It offers comprehensive coverage of important areas of the theory and practice of oceanic/coastal engineering and technology. This well organized text includes five major sections and is designed to be used as a traditional handbook. With 200 tables and over 100 figures, it will give readers a head start in the field of oceanic engineering.

In this book, readers will find top-down automation approaches for microelectrofluidic systems. Those with a background in electronic design automation will use this book to apply their expertise to composite system design. On the other hand, readers from the fluidics domain, who have thus far been developing bottom-up, inflexible and custom microsystems, will find this book invaluable in their moves to adopt a more top-down and generic design methodology. The authors include methodologies and tools for robust design and design for flexibility as well as an attractive new application for SystemC. They also provide a complete case study that uses a microvalve as a representative MEF device.

Written primarily for undergraduate students of mathematics, science, or engineering, who typically take a course on differential equations during their first or second year. The main prerequisite is a working knowledge of calculus.
The environment in which instructors teach, and students learn differential equations has changed enormously in the past few years and continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Computing equipment of some kind, whether a graphing calculator, a notebook computer, or a desktop workstation is available to most students. The seventh edition of this classic text reflects this changing environment, while at the same time, it maintains its great strengths - a contemporary approach, flexible chapter construction, clear exposition, and outstanding problems. In addition many new problems have been added and a reorganisation of the material makes the concepts even clearer and more comprehensible.
Like its predecessors, this edition is written from the viewpoint of the applied mathematician, focusing both on the theory and the practical applications of differential equations as they apply to engineering and the sciences.

Additional topics include: Building Classes and Assemblies with VB.NET; Building Windows Services with VB.NET; Upgrading VB6 Projects to VB.NET; Performance Security; Configuration and Deployment.

For Visual Basic and VBA programmers, this book boils down the essentials of the VB and VBA languages into a single volume, including undocumented and little-documented areas essential to everyday programming. The convenient alphabetical reference to all functions, procedures, statements, and keywords allows programmers to use this book both as a standard reference guide and as a tool for troubleshooting and identifying programming problems.

Pocket Book of Integrals and Mathematical Formulas, a revision of a very successful pocket book, provides a handy desk-top reference for engineers and scientists seeking essential formulas, concepts, and definitions.

The new edition of this bestselling handbook contains the solutions for an additional 700 ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and now provides more than 6200 solutions. It also includes a new introductory chapter that describes exact, asymptotic, and approximate analytical methods for solving ODEs, along with basic definitions and discussion of using modern computer algebra systems to solve ODEs. Subsections are now organized into paragraphs, and the rearrangement of equations into these paragraphs allows for an expanded table of contents that helps readers find equations more quickly. More than ever, the handbook is indispensable to a wide range of mathematicians, scientists, engineers, and students.
