Mathematical Connections: A Companion for Teachers
This book is about some of the topics that form the foundations for high school mathematics. It focuses on a closely-knit collection of ideas that are at the intersection of algebra, arithmetic, combinatorics, geometry, and calculus. Most of the ideas are classical: methods for fitting polynomial functions to data, for summing powers of integers, for visualizing the iterates of a function defined on the complex plane, or for obtaining identities among entries in Pascal's triangle.
Now there is a source of recent information on the basic and clinical usefulness of real-time 3D echocardiography for echocardiographers, cardiologists, cardiac sonographers, and internists. This excellent reference helps clinicians improve pre- and post-surgical planning, attain better measurement of heart function, decrease exam times, and enhance patient communication. An accompanying DVD shows procedures in real time.
Anatomy and Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function with OLC Bind-in Card,3 Ed
From the unique organization to the exceptional art, to the complete integration of the text with technology, Saladin has formed a teaching system that will both motivate and enable your students to understand and appreciate the wonders of anatomy and physiology. Saladin's third edition is the most market responsive text ever published for this course.
The human brain is among the most complex systems known to mankind. Neuroscientists seek to understand brain function through detailed analysis of neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission. Only in the last few years has it become feasible to capture simultaneous responses from large enough numbers of neurons to empirically test the theories of human brain function.
From the top of your head to the tips of your toes, you probably think you know your body pretty well. But did you know that there are many different microorganisms that share your body? In Your Body explores how these tiny creatures function in your body.
