Classical
Mechanics
John Michael Finn
This book presents an updated treatment of the
dynamics of particles and particle systems suitable
for students preparing for advanced study of
physics and closely related fields, such as
astronomy and the applied engineering sciences.
Compared to older books on this subject, the
mathematical treatment has been updated for the
study of more advanced topics in quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics,
and nonlinear and orbital mechanics. The text begins with a review of the
principles of classical Newtonian dynamics of particles and particle systems
and proceeds to show how these principles are modified and extended by
developments in the field. The text ends with the unification of space and time
given by the Special Theory of Relativity. Hamiltonian dynamics and the
concept of phase space are introduced early on. This allows integration of the
concepts of chaos and other nonlinear effects into the main flow of the text. The
role of symmetries and the underlying geometric structure of space-time is a
key theme. In the latter chapters, the connection between classical and quantum
mechanics is examined in detail.
KEY FEATURES
Updates the mathematical treatment for the study of more
advanced topics in quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics,
and nonlinear & orbital mechanics
Hamiltonian dynamics and the concept of phase space are
introduced early on. This allows integration of the concepts of
chaos and other nonlinear effects into the main flow of the text.
Stresses the role of symmetries and the underlying geometric
structure of space-time.
Designed for a one or two semester course or as an updated
reference for scientists.

Notes on Acoustics
Uno Ingard
Written by a noted authority in the subject area, this
book provides an understanding of the
fundamentals of acoustics and a solid foundation
for problem solving. It may be used as a reference
by scientists and engineers or as a text in a senior-
undergraduate or graduate-level course.
In addition to the 'standard' material on acoustics,
several of the chapters contain lesser known areas
of the field and hitherto unpublished material. This
is the case particularly in Chapters 7, 8, 9, and 10 dealing with such topics as
flow-induced sound and instabilities, flow interaction with acoustic resonators,
atmospheric acoustics, and some aspects of non-linear acoustics. The extensive
chapter (9) on atmospheric acoustics is a result of the work sponsored by
NASA. Chapter 11 is devoted to examples and applications from various parts
of the book.
KEY FEATURES
Written by an international authority and winner of the Rayleigh Medal
(Institute of Acoustics)
Emphasizes a descriptive presentation to provide "physical insight" and
aspects of problem-solving without sacrificing the importance of
mathematical analysis
Includes the author's unpublished material on flow-induced sound and
instabilities, flow interaction with acoustic resonators, atmospheric
acoustics, and some aspects of non-linear acoustics.

Programming for Chemical
Engineers Using C, C++,
and Metalab
Raul Raymond A. Kapuno, Jr.
Designed for chemical engineering students and
industry professionals, this applications-oriented
book shows how to write reusable computer
programs by guiding the reader through the process
of: establishing the theoretical concept;
determining the applicable numerical methods;
testing the algorithm through manual calculation; writing and debugging the
computer program based on the algorithm; and validating the result, using
statistical analysis. All programs in the book are written in the three most
popular languages (C, C++, and MATLAB) currently in the chemical
engineering curriculum and in industry. Because the book is written by a
chemical engineer, practitioners and students will learn to write programs for
the appropriate subject matter of interest to them. A CD-ROM with code,
simulations, executables, etc., accompanies the book.

Monograph
S. Anandamurgan
The book Wireless Sensor Networks focuses on
various research challenges, solutions and variety
of applications in Wireless Sensor Networks. It
also gives an idea about various Hardware, Software and an operating system
and three generations of a hardware platform designed to address the needs of
Wireless Sensor Networks. TinyOS uses an event based execution model to
provide support for finegrained concurrency and incorporates a highly efficient
component model. TinyOS enables us to use a hardware architecture that has a
single processor time shared between both application and protocol processing.
A virtual partitioning of computational resources not only leads to efficient
resource utilization but also allows for a rich interface between application and
protocol processing. This rich interface, in turn, allows developers to exploit
application specific communication protocols that significantly improve
system performance.

Richard Fitzpatrick
Designed for upper division electromagnetism
courses or as a reference for electrical engineers
and scientists, this book introduces Maxwell's
equations and electromagnetic waves as soon as
possible (i.e., in the first third of the book), and then
discusses electrostatics, magnetostatics, induction, etc., in the light of those
equations. The book also provides a thorough treatment of vector field theory
which emphasizes the rotational invariance of the dot and cross products,
together with div, grad, and curl, and thus gives a clear physical motivation for
the use of those constructs to describe electric and magnetic fields. Unlike
many competing books, Maxwell's Equations & the Principles of
Electromagnetism covers topics such as advanced potentials, retarded fields,
forces on dielectric liquids, antenna theory, and Faraday rotation.

Introduction to
Biotechnology
Dr. B. L. Saini
The book Introduction to Biotechnology has been
written for the first year students of B.E./B.Tech. of
Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra and various
Indian universities. This book contains twelve
chapters which are divided into four units. In the
first unit, topics like introduction to life, structure of
prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, different levels of
organization of life forms and living organisms as
an open system that exchange both energy and matter from the surroundings,
biomolecules and enzymes are included. Diversity of life forms i.e., Plant
system, Animal system and Microbial system are explained in the second unit
of the book. In the third unit of the book, topics like evolution of life, Mendel's
laws of inheritance, cell division experimental proof in favour of DNA and
RNA as the genetic matter of living organisms and a brief account of genetic
engineering, recombinant DNA technology, genomics and bioinformatics are
given. The fourth unit of the book is devoted to Biotechnology, the
revolutionary science of the 21st century.

A Textbook of Biotechnology
Dr. Rashmi Tyagi
The book 'A Textbook of Biotechnology' has been
designed for all the undergraduate B.E., B.Tech. and
B.Sc. students. The book includes 20 chapters and the
various topics are written illustratively in very simple
way. This book focuses on cell structures and viruses,
carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, cell division, food and
beverage, etc. The matter has been presented in a
structured manner and in an easy to understand, which
can be grasped easily by students of various
disciplines. A greater stress has been laid on pictorial
representation in the text. There has been a conscious
attempt to make proper flow of language and present
the contents in simple and lucid manner. This book is
very useful for the students of biotechnology and others.
