This book is written for beginners and students who wish to learn MATLAB. One of the objectives of writing this book is to introduce MATLAB to students in high schools. The material presented is very easy and simple to understand - written in a gentle manner. The topics covered in the book include arithmetic operations, variables, mathematical functions, complex numbers, vectors, matrices, programming, graphs, solving equations, and an introduction to calculus. In addition, the MATLAB Symbolic Math Toolbox is emphasized in this book. There are also over 230 exercises at the ends of chapters for students to practice. Detailed solutions to all the exercises are provided in the second half of the book. The author has been using MATLAB for the past fifteen years and is the author of the best selling book "MATLAB Guide to Finite Elements". For the paperback edition, visit Amazon.com.

This is a collection of seven original articles written by the author over the past several years. The articles deal with various issues in science and mathematics. Here is a list of the seven articles: (1) Ratio of Surface Area to Volume in Nanotechnology and Nanoscience, (2) Chaos Theory Simply Explained, (3) Solving Equations with MATLAB, (4) Differential Equations with MATLAB, (5) Fibonacci Numbers with MATLAB, (6) The Golden Ratio with MATLAB, and (7) Regression Analysis with MATLAB. It is hope that the reader will find this collection useful and informative. It is good to have these articles available in one single volume.

Time is my favorite topic. I always wanted to write a book about time. Finally I decided to write one designed for children. This is not a book that teaches your child how to tell the time. There are numerous such books on the market. This book is different. Basically the book delves into the nature of time. The book was designed such that it includes facts, musings, and speculations about time. These are written in a very simplified form suitable for children. The topics covered are: (1) Hours, Minutes, and Seconds, (2) Years, Months, and Weeks, (3) Past, Preset, and Future, (4) The Calendar, (5) Dimensions, (6) The Fourth Dimension, (7) Psychological Time, (8) The Five Senses, (9) Age of the Universe, (10) Parallel Timelines, (11) Time Travel, (12) Mental Time Travel, (13) The Future, (14) Time and Dreams, (15) Three Dimensions of Time, (16) The Nature of Reality, (17) Consciousness, (18) Healing Yourself, (19) Synchronicity, (20) The End of Time, (21) The Transformation, (22) Time in the Bible. The book may be difficult for children especially the second half of the book where we discuss some advanced concepts in the theory of time. This difficulty is even magnified when we consider that the latter parts of the book are more speculative than factual. But in these speculations we offer a hope that children should be aware of.

This book is written for people who love MATLAB and Fibonacci numbers. One of the objectives of writing this book is to introduce MATLAB and Fibonacci numbers to students in high schools. The material presented is very easy and simple to understand -- written in a very simplified manner. The book is divided into two parts - A review of MATLAB is presented in the first part. This is followed by a presentation of Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Ratio in the second part. The topics covered in the book include symbolic computing with MATLAB, solving equations with MATLAB, MATLAB functions, graphs in MATLAB, Fibonacci numbers, The Golden Ratio, Properties of the Golden Ratio, Lucas numbers, Generalizations of Fibonacci numbers, and Random Fibonacci numbers. The book includes numerous M-files written specifically to compute different kinds of Fibonacci sequences and the Golden Ratio. The author has been using MATLAB for the past seventeen years and is the author of the best selling books "MATLAB for Beginners" and "MATLAB Guide to Finite Elements".

This is a little book for students who wish to have the essential formulas and equations of mathematics in a single easily accessible source. In about 50 pages, the 350 most essential mathematical formulas are listed. Unlike other large books on this topic, there is no need to go through hundreds of pages and thousands of formulas for the student to get the basic equations. The author has searched several books on mathematical formulas and tables and selected only those equations which are essential to the student. The mathematical formulas and equations listed in this book are useful for students and researchers in various fields including mathmecatics, physics, engineering, etc. Only the most elementary and basic topics are covered including formulas for various gemoetric shapes, several types of functions (trigonometric, hyperbolic, exponential, logarithmic, etc), the quadratic equation, analytic geometry, derivatives and integrals, arithmetic series, geometric series and Taylor series.

These are the handwritten notes for the Structural Analysis II course that was taught at Applied Science University by Dr. Peter Kattan in the period 1996-1998. The notes are based on the book "Structural Analysis " by Alexander Chajes, Second Edition. This book is currently out of print. Students find these notes useful and it is good to find them in one single volume. The author hopes to make these notes available to students worldwide and also to revive the Chajes book. These notes are for the second course on structural analysis for indeterminate structures. Another book is avaialbe and includes the notes for the first course on structural analysis.These handwritten notes include the following chapters: History of Structural Analysis, Methods of Indeterminate Structural Analysis, Degrees of Indeterminacy, Approximate Analysis of Indeterminate Structures, Method of Consistent Deformations (The General Method or The Force Method), Method of Least Work (Castigliano's Second Theorem), The Three-Moment Equation, Slope-Deflection Method, Moment-Distribution Method, Flexibility Matrix Method, Influence Lines for Indeterminate Structures, Appendix - Matrix Algebra.

Presents the principles of Damage Mechanics along with the research findings. This work presents both isotropic and anisotropic damage mechanisms. It includes chapters that are solely dedicated to experimental investigations conducted by the authors. It also presents experimental data for damage in composite materials.

This is a book for people who love mechanics of composite materials and ? We will use the popular computer package MATLAB as a matrix calculator for doing the numerical calculations needed in mechanics of c- posite materials. Instead step-by-step solutions of composite material mechanics problems are examined in detail using MATLAB.

In addition, the CD-ROM contains a complete solutions manual that includes detailed solutions to all the problems in the book. Kattan PrefacetotheFirstEdition 3 This is a book for people who love ?nite elements and MATLAB .
