Physical Setting - Chemistry Review is compliant with the Physical Setting/Chemistry Core Curriculum.The topics are written so that they can be used in any order a teacher may deem logical. Each unit has questions of the types contained in the Regents Examinations: Parts A, B, and C - Constructed Response.There are appendices containing, in addition to the reference tables, a section on the historical development of chemistry, a section on the use of the new chemistry reference tables, and a section on significant figures, exponential notation, graphing and functions, as well as percent error. There are also supplemental constructed response questions and the NYS practice Regents Exams are included.The book is in an elarged format with a larger typeface than has been used in the past. All aspects are calculated to facilitate efficient review of the material contained.

Earth Science Review Book is user friendly for both the teacher and the student. Since the content is aligned with the New York State Core Curriculum for Physical Setting/Earth Science, a teacher can feel confident that all the required topics are sufficiently developed.The suggested outline of units moves from the concrete material to the more abstract subjects such as meteorology and astronomy. Throughout the book there is ample opportunity for review of basic skills and ways to tie in the various units. For example, isolines are discussed early in the year and then revisited later in the weather topics.The student has the opportunity to use the book as both a reference and a workbook. The extensive number of constructed response items as well as multiple choice questions found interspersed within the topics give ample practice. The multiple Regents Exams found at the back of the book can be used both at the end of the course for review and whenever appropriate throughout the year.

Targeted at students and researchers in computational sciences who need to develop computer codes for solving PDEs, the exposition here is focused on numerics and software related to mathematical models in solid and fluid mechanics. The book teaches finite element methods, and basic finite difference methods from a computational point of view, with the main emphasis on developing flexible computer programs, using the numerical library Diffpack. Diffpack is explained in detail for problems including model equations in applied mathematics, heat transfer, elasticity, and viscous fluid flow. All the program examples, as well as Diffpack for use with this book, are available on the Internet. XXXXXXX NEUER TEXT This book is for researchers who need to develop computer code for solving PDEs. Numerical methods and the application of Diffpack are explained in detail. Diffpack is a modern C++ development environment that is widely used by industrial scientists and engineers working in areas such as oil exploration, groundwater modeling, and materials testing. All the program examples, as well as a test version of Diffpack, are available for free over the Internet.

UPCO'S Living Environment Review is a complete review of all the key ideas and major understandings as required by the New York State Living Environment Core Curriculum. Also included is any additional information necessary for total comprehension of core curriculum key ideas. This 276-page book is conveniently organized into 8 major units subdivided into 25 chapters. Although this book is directed toward the New York State Living Environment Curriculum it can be used successfully with any school's biology or life science curriculum. Important features are noted below:Each chapter ends with numerous multiple choice, constructed response and reading and interpreting information practice questions structured to resemble regents exam questions, allowing students many opportunities to test their understanding of required concepts.Diagrams and other visuals help the students understand concepts.A complete review of laboratory and technical skills, processes involved in scientific inquiry and methods of representing and analyzing scientific observations is present throughout the book.Words and terms directly related to the core curriculum are highlighted in bold type while other words or terms necessary for the complete comprehension of the core curriculum key ideas are italicized.A comprehensive index and glossary of all important vocabulary terms is located at the end of the book for supplementary review.Sample practice Regents Exams are included at the end of the book to give the student actual test-taking experiences.
