Paperback. Condizione: New. This book offers a fun and enriching introduction to chaos theory, fractals and dynamical systems, and on the applications of fractals to computer generated graphics and image compression. Introduction to Chaos, Fractals and Dynamical Systems particularly focuses on natural and human phenomenon that can be modeled as fractals, using simple examples to explain the theory of chaos and how it affects all of us. Then, using straightforward mathematic and intuitive descriptions, computer generated graphics and photographs of natural scenes are used to illustrate the beauty of fractals and their importance in our world. Finally, the concept of Dynamical Systems, that is, time-dependent systems, the foundation of Chaos and Fractal, is introduced. Everyday examples are again used to illustrate concepts, and the importance of understanding how these vital systems affect our lives. Throughout the fascinating history of the evolution of chaos theory, fractals and dynamical systems is presented, along with brief introductions to the scientists, mathematicians and engineers who created this knowledge.Introduction to Chaos, Fractals and Dynamical Systems contains ample mathematical definitions, representations, discussions and exercises, so that this book can be used as primary or secondary source in home schooling environments.The book is suitable for homeschooling as a focused course on the subject matter or as a classroom supplement for a variety of courses at the late junior high or early high-school level. For example, in addition to a standalone course on Chaos, Fractals and Dynamical Systems (or similar title), this book could be used with the following courses:The text can also be used in conjunction with mathematics courses for undergraduates for non-science majors. The book can also be used for informal and lively family study and discussion.For each chapter, exercises and things to do are included. These activities range from simple computational tasks to more elaborate computer projects, related activities, biographical research and writing assignments.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Technical Writing: A Practical Guide for Engineers, Scientists, and Nontechnical Professionals enables readers to write, edit, and publish materials of a technical nature, including books, articles, reports, and electronic media. Written by experienced practicing engineers, this guide complements traditional technical writing manuals through the presentation of firsthand examples that help readers understand practical considerations in writing and producing technical content. These examples illustrate how a publication originates as well as explain various challenges and solutions.The third edition features the following: New and updated exercises, examples, and case studies New content on software/systems documentation Treatment of plagiarism to incorporate issues in generative artificial intelligence (AI), open-access archiving, and more Coverage of popular writing and collaboration tools such as Grammarly, Overleaf, and Google Docs Increased conversation of writing for non-native English speakers Latest standards and researchWritten in an informal, conversational style, unlike traditional writing texts, this book contains many interesting vignettes and personal stories to add interest to otherwise stodgy lessons. It is aimed at students and professionals in the science and engineering domains.…
