Another brand-new title in Barron’s Essential Atlas science series explains principles of mathematics, which is the universal language of all science. This volume opens with a brief, enlightening description of the differing numeric systems devised by various cultures. The multitude of practical applications involving mathematics are then shown and explained, including measurements of weight and volume, monetary calculations, the binary system and its application in computer science, and much more. Architecture is discussed in terms of its fundamental relationship to principles of geometry. The circle, angles, and trigonometric functions are described, and fundamental principles of calculus and probability are touched upon. This easy-to-comprehend volume makes imaginative use of charts and diagrams to explain mathematical reasoning. There are color photos and illustrations on every page.

Filled with hundreds of attractive full-color illustrations, photos, and easy-to-understand diagrams, this very accessible book tells the story of life in its many forms—plants, animals, and even amoeba, bacteria, and fungi. Words and pictures describe how different life forms adapt to the earth’s different environmental conditions. Readers will find sections that summarize Darwin’s theory of natural selection, Mendel’s genetic classification, the twentieth-century discovery of DNA, the parts and functions of plants and animals, and the ways in which all life forms fit into the earth’s ecosystem. Like other titles in Barron’s Essential Atlas series, The Essential Atlas of Biology will be valued as a fine educational supplement for classrooms and libraries.

"A first-class mathematician's lucid, unhurried account of the science of numbers from arithmetic through the calculus." — James R. Newman, The World of Mathematics. This highly accessible introduction to mathematics is geared toward readers seeking a firm grasp of the essentials of mathematical theory and practice. The treatment also offers a concise outline of mathematical history and a clearer notion of why mathematicians do what they do. Author E. C. Titchmarsh, who served for many years as Savilian Professor of Geometry at Oxford University, begins with counting and the fundamentals of arithmetic. He guides readers through the complexities of algebra, fractions, geometry, irrational numbers, logarithms, infinite series, complex numbers, quadratic equations, trigonometry, functions, and integral and differential calculus. Titchmarsh's graceful, fluid style helps make complicated topics easier to grasp, and his inclusion of numerous examples will prove especially helpful to readers with little or no background in mathematics.

Basic Mathematics and Statistics for Science is a low-level introduction to the essential techniques students need to understand. It assumes little prior knowledge, and adopts a gentle approach that leads through examples in the book and website. No other text provides this range of educational support for science students. The integration between book and website provides study options that would be impossible through a book alone, and allows students to study in ways that suit their own circumstances and preferences. The combination of book and website also provides ready-prepared material for lectures, tutorials and computer practicals. Tutors can use the material to develop a variety of coherent programme using different learning styles. The book develops the mathematics and statistics through examples and questions that reflect the scientific context, and has succeeded in being relevant to a range of undergraduate science programmes.

Essential Mathematics for Games and Interactive Applications, 2nd edition presents the core mathematics necessary for sophisticated 3D graphics and interactive physical simulations. The book begins with linear algebra and matrix multiplication and expands on this foundation to cover such topics as color and lighting, interpolation, animation and basic game physics. Essential Mathematics focuses on the issues of 3D game development important to programmers and includes optimization guidance throughout. The new edition Windows code will now use Visual Studio.NET. There will also be DirectX support provided, along with OpenGL - due to its cross-platform nature. Programmers will find more concrete examples included in this edition, as well as additional information on tuning, optimization and robustness. The book has a companion CD-ROM with exercises and a test bank for the academic secondary market, and for main market: code examples built around a shared code base, including a math library covering all the topics presented in the book, a core vector/matrix math engine, and libraries to support basic 3D rendering and interaction.

This hands-on manual, with pedagogical features that draw the learner into the content, offers clear and complete coverage of the mathematical topics most often used in today’s clinical and medical laboratories. Furthermore, it provides a solid foundation for subsequent courses in the laboratory sciences. The first two chapters present a review of basic mathematical concepts. The remainder of the book provides students with a realistic means to build on previously learned concepts— both mathematical and scientific—to refine their mathematical skills, and to gauge their mastery of those skills. Outstanding features . . . • Each chapter opens with an outline, objectives, and key terms. • Key terms, highlighted within the text, are listed and defined in the glossary. • “Margin problems” and practice problem sets provide the chance to gain immediate proficiency. • Laboratory exercises and review problems allow students to apply what they’ve learned and assess their understanding and progress. • A special calculator icon signals explanations of calculator use for a particular mathematical function. • Study hints—“Keys to Success”—offer practical suggestions and guidance for maximizing achievement. • The workbook design enables users to solve problems and take notes directly on the pages.
