An Introduction to Modern Astrophysics is a comprehensive, well-organized and engaging text covering every major area of modern astrophysics, from the solar system and stellar astronomy to galactic and extragalactic astrophysics, and cosmology. Designed to provide students with a working knowledge of modern astrophysics, this textbook is suitable for astronomy and physics majors who have had a first-year introductory physics course with calculus. Featuring a brief summary of the main scientific discoveries that have led to our current understanding of the universe; worked examples to facilitate the understanding of the concepts presented in the book; end-of-chapter problems to practice the skills acquired; and computational exercises to numerically model astronomical systems, the second edition of An Introduction to Modern Astrophysics is the go-to textbook for learning the core astrophysics curriculum as well as the many advances in the field.
This book uses elementary versions of modern methods found in sophisticated mathematics to discuss portions of "advanced calculus" in which the subtlety of the concepts and methods makes rigor difficult to attain at an elementary level.
TRIGONOMETRY is designed to help you learn to think mathematically. With this text, you can stop relying on merely memorizing facts and mimicking examples—and instead develop true, lasting problem-solving skills. Clear and easy to read, TRIGONOMETRY illustrates how trigonometry is used and applied to real life, and helps you understand and retain what you learn in class.

Reflecting the increasing importance of ceramics, polymers, composites, and silicon in manufacturing, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing Second Edition provides a comprehensive treatment of these other materials and their processing, without sacrificing its solid coverage of metals and metal processing. Topics include such modern processes as rapid prototyping, microfabrication, high speed machining and nanofabrication. Additional features include: Emphasis on how material properties relate to the process variables in a given process. Emphasis on manufacturing science and quantitative engineering analysis of manufacturing processes. More than 500 quantitative problems are included as end of chapter exercises. Multiple choice quizzes in all but one chapter (approximately 500 questions). Coverage of electronics manufacturing, one of the most commercially important areas in today's technology oriented economy. Historical notes are included to introduce manufacturing from the earliest materials and processes, like woodworking, to the most recent.
