This little book is especially concerned with those portions of ”advanced calculus” in which the subtlety of the concepts and methods makes rigor difficult to attain at an elementary level. The approach taken here uses elementary versions of modern methods found in sophisticated mathematics. The formal prerequisites include only a term of linear algebra, a nodding acquaintance with the notation of set theory, and a respectable first-year calculus course (one which at least mentions the least upper bound (sup) and greatest lower bound (inf) of a set of real numbers). Beyond this a certain (perhaps latent) rapport with abstract mathematics will be found almost essential.

All measurements contain errors. And with global positioning systems, total station instruments, digital metric cameras, and satellite imaging systems now generating vast quantities of data, adjustment for errors is crucial to accurate interpretation. Adjustment Computations provides a complete, up-to-date treatment of every aspect of least squares adjustment, the most rigorous procedure available for computing adjustments to measured data.

 

Adults often begin writing and realized that they don't remember all the rules they learned in Mrs. Peacock's 8th grade English class. Most adults in the workplace today have purchased -- on at least one occasion -- a writing guide.

Picture Books Plus focuses on five curricula—art, drama, music, math, and science, because we feel these areas will appeal most to public and school librarians, to teachers and early childhood educators, and, of course, to children, with their natural curiosity and energy. Each chapter includes twenty picture book titles along with a short annotation of the book, an extension in at least one of the five subject areas, any materials needed, and the procedure to conduct the extension. Every activity in this book was tested (some several times).
