Mythematics: Solving the Twelve Labors of Hercules
How might Hercules, the most famous of the Greek heroes, have used mathematics to complete his astonishing Twelve Labors? From conquering the Nemean Lion and cleaning out the Augean Stables, to capturing the Erymanthean Boar and entering the Underworld to defeat the three-headed dog Cerberus, Hercules and his legend are the inspiration for this book of fun and original math puzzles.
How to Solve Word Problems in Mathematics: Proven Techniques from an Expert
Most 9th grade math, or "Algebra 1," textbooks are structured in such a way that students find it extremely difficult to apply pertinent mathematical concepts and skills to the solving of word problems. This book soothes math students' fears with numerous solved practice problems, step-by-step problem-solving procedures, and crystal-clear explanations of important mathematical concepts. Designed to be used independently or in conjunction with standard textbooks.
General and special education teachers will find 40 ready-to-use lesson plans that focus on children's literature characters faced with problem-solving situations, empowering students to independently solve problems in their own lives. Students are also taught a problem-solving strategy that can be applied to any situation.

The authors give 61 cases of graduate students who are experiencing problems with their research projects. Each case is cast as a dialogue between a professor and a troubled student who is seeking the professor's help in solving a particular problem.
Solving Ordinary Differential Equations II: Stiff and Differential-Algebraic Problems
The subject of this book is the solution of stiff differential equations and of differential-algebraic systems (differential equations with constraints). The book is divided into four chapters. The beginning of each chapter is of introductory nature, followed by practical applications, the discussion of numerical results, theoretical investigations on the order and accuracy, linear and nonlinear stability, convergence and asymptotic expansions.
