Anesthesiology Board Review : Pearls of Wisdom Review

Pearls of wisdom seems easy to read, I like the questions in bold so your eye is not drawn to the answer right away. However, the content leaves a little to be desired. There are a lot of statistical tidbits, but very little on the actual anesthetic management of key problems as well as the physiology we are expected to know. In short the material does not seem deep enough for the actual anesthesiology boards.

Product Description

This is a modern textbook for courses in continuum mechanics. It provides both the theoretical framework and the numerical methods required to model the behaviour of continuous materials. This self-contained textbook is tailored for advanced undergraduate or first year graduate students with numerous step-by-step derivations and worked out examples. The author presents both the general continuum theory and the mathematics needed to apply it in practice. The derivation of constitutive models for ideal gases, fluids, solids and biological materials, and the numerical methods required to solve the resulting differential equations, are also detailed. Specifically, the text presents the theory and numerical implementation for the finite difference and the finite element methods in the Matlab programming language. It includes thirteen detailed Matlab® programs illustrating how constitutive models are used in practice.

Continuum Mechanics Review

Despite that the continuum model for continuum body is important for engineering there are only few reference that present a cohesive description of continuum mechanics. Here the author successfully documented all necessary definitions/equations required for a beginner to learn and to professional to recap on the important concepts of the subject. In addition, this book provides many practical related examples that motivates the reader to utilize the equations.

Product Description

The discovery of infinite products by Wallis and infinite series by Newton marked the beginning of the modern mathematical era. It allowed Newton to solve the problem of finding areas under curves defined by algebraic equations, an achievement beyond the scope of the earlier methods of Torricelli, Fermat and Pascal. While Newton and his contemporaries, including Leibniz and the Bernoullis, concentrated on mathematical analysis and physics, Euler's prodigious accomplishments demonstrated that series and products could also address problems in algebra, combinatorics and number theory. In this book, Ranjan Roy describes many facets of the discovery and use of infinite series and products as worked out by their originators, including mathematicians from Asia, Europe and America. The text provides context and motivation for these discoveries, with many detailed proofs, offering a valuable perspective on modern mathematics. Mathematicians, mathematics students, physicists and engineers will all read this book with benefit and enjoyment.

Sources in the Development of Mathematics Review

There are books on history of math, but they lack in detail! and there are books that treat math in detail, but they lack historical perspective and concepts spring up out of thin air, as if without roots or parentage!

Roy's book fills this void; it provides us the details as well as their historical development!

A word about the subtitle of the book concerning series and products: As many of us know, the finite and infinite series and products have played an indispensable role in the understanding and development of mathematical ideas; without them, it is impossible to understand even the simplest of mathematical numbers or functions, like pi, or sin(x).

Why and how did these mathematical series arose and were manipulated by the original mathematicians of the bygone era? How their mind worked? and how they surmounted problems without adequate tools at their disposal? how their insight led to great mathematical ideas for successive mathematicians to develop the subject further? and finally how and why we have reached where we are today?
If you are interested in or curious to know all these in sufficient (and not just superficial or anecdotal) detail, I strongly recommend that you must read and digest this book; you would enjoy it thoroughly, it would brighten you, it would make the famous mathematicians of yore more near and real to you - almost like they are your friends -; and you may not need to go anywhere else!

Roy's book spares no details! We all know about the most famous mathematicians - Archimedes, Newton, Cauchy, Euler ....et. al. , but how many of us know that it was an Italian mathematician named MAUROLICO, who in 1575 first gave us the Principle of mathematical Induction!

Roy's " Sources in the development of mathematics" is truly a detailed study and development of modern mathematical ideas through the march of history in their full glory. Roy deals with each subject in a manner, so that a modern student or teacher today can experience the pleasure of working out the details of the original formalisms without any difficulty like having to read the original papers in Latin or Greek or Arabic or Sanskrit and understanding them in a modern context). And there are plenty of exercises to play around with in each chapter.

Could there be a better way to truly understand the mathematical concepts and, kind of, "own" them as your own?
Undoubtedly the book will serve as a great reference book for a long long time - probably the ultimate one in our era.

Product Description

It has become popular in recent years to talk about 'identity' as an aspect of engagement with technology - in virtual environments, in games, in social media and in our increasingly digital world. But what do we mean by identity and how do our theories and assumptions about identity affect the kinds of questions we ask about its relationship to technology and learning? Constructing the Self in a Digital World takes up this question explicitly, bringing together authors working from different models of identity but all examining the role of technology in the learning and lives of children and youth.

Constructing the Self in a Digital World (Learning in Doing: Social, Cognitive and Computational Perspectives) Review

Based on the book's title, I thought I would be getting a book on new media studies. Instead, this is a collection of mostly qualitative research conducted mostly by developmental psychologist. This is an entirely scholarly collection of the type of article normally seen in peer-reviewed journals.

This carefully curated books is divided into two Parts ("Authoring and Exploring Identity" and "Identities in Flux and in Play"), each with and introduction and four research-based chapters. Most of the research revolves around teenagers, though one study involved five- and six-year olds.

Because of the open-ended, exploratory research most of the scholars carried out, and because of the relatively small sample size of most of the studies, there is very little in the form of clear conclusions. Another issue is that most of the studies approached the subject matter through contrived (classroom and afterschool) experiences, instead of taking a more ethnographic approach to see how individuals construct their identities through the course of their normal, heavily digital lives. Nonetheless, for academics interested in this niche subject, this book represents a thorough and exhaustively documented resource.

Product Description

Musicians, music lovers and music critics have typically considered Beethoven's overtly political music as an aberration; at best, it is merely notorious, at worst, it is denigrated and ignored. In Political Beethoven Nicholas Mathew returns to the musical and social contexts of the composer's political music throughout his career - from the early marches and anti-French war songs of the 1790s to the grand orchestral and choral works for the Congress of Vienna - to argue that this marginalized functional art has much to teach us about the lofty Beethovenian sounds that came to define serious music in the nineteenth century. Beethoven's much-maligned political compositions, Mathew shows, lead us into the intricate political and aesthetic contexts that shaped all of his oeuvre, thus revealing the stylistic, ideological and psycho-social mechanisms that gave Beethoven's music such a powerful voice - a voice susceptible to repeated political appropriation, even to the present day.
