Bridging the gap between calculus and further abstract topics this book presents a well organized and much needed introduction to the foundations of analysis. It is composed of three sections: the analysis of functions of one real variable, including an introduction to the Lebesgue integral; how the appropriate abstractions lead to a powerful and widely applicable theoretical foundation for all branches of applied mathematics; an outlook to applied subjects in which analysis is used.
Foundation Maths has been written for students taking higher or further education courses, who have not specialised in mathematics on post-16 qualifications and need to use mathematical tools in their courses. It is ideally suited for those studying marketing, business studies, management, science, engineering, computer science, social science, geography, combined studies and design. It will be useful for those who lack confidence and need careful, steady guidance in mathematical methods.
Virtual Art: From Illusion to ImmersionThe computer's ability to immerse a user in virtual image spaces "is not the revolutionary innovation its protagonists are fond of interpreting it to be," Grau writes. "The idea of virtual reality only appears to be without a history; in fact, it rests firmly on historical art traditions." Grau (lecturer in art history at Humboldt University in Berlin,) traces the lineage of virtual reality as far back as the frescoes of a villa in Pompeii.
This book presents the basic skills of Mathematics appropriate for Year 7 students. There is good coverage of core skills and concepts, clear worked examples and well graded exercises. Review sets appear at the end of each chapter. The book offers a sound foundation in mathematics in preparation for secondary level education.
A structured foundation course for needlepoint, this text is an introduction for the beginner and a source of ideas for the more accomplished. The main thrust is how to work the stitches successfully and how to use them to the best effect.
