Vibrations and Waves

A. P. French “Vibrations and Waves"
W. W. Norton | 1971-01-19 | ISBN: 0393099369 | 328 pages | Djvu | 3,2 Mb

Reader's review:
The photos and plots in this book are exemplary. They complement the material perfectly, building up intuitional understanding of the phenomena at the same time the text allows you to handle the physics mathematically.
Each chapter follows logically. Everything builds up step by step from the most basic case of a simple harmonic oscillator, and the book has a feeling of progression that encouraged me to keep going. Every chapter brought new understanding to things I vaguely knew about, but was fuzzy on quite why it was that way.
Although the basic systems discussed are pendulums, masses-on-springs, and linear strings, the text also contains plenty of information on how the theory built by examining these simple systems can apply to many other places where the same differential equations apply - especially electric circuits, but also acoustics.
Vibrations and Waves does a superb job as a concise and clear introduction to how wave phenomena work.

C Sharp in Depth Apr 2008 eBook-BBL

C# in Depth: What you need to master C# 2 and 3 (c) by Manning
Publications

The type of the release is: eBook
In the PDF format with ISBN: 1933988363 and Pub Date: April 15, 2008
The size of the release is: 02 disks x 2.88mb
And released on: 04/06/2008


C# in Depth is a completely new book designed to propel existing C#
developers to a higher level of programming skill. One simple principle
drives this book: explore a few things deeply rather than offer a
shallow view of the whole C# landscape. If you often find yourself
wanting just a little more at the end of a typical chapter, this is the
book for you. Expert author Jon Skeet dives into the C# language,
plumbing new C# 2 and 3 features and probing the core C# language
concepts that drive them. This unique book puts the new features into
context of how C# has evolved without a lengthy rehearsal of the full C#
language. C# in Depth briefly examines the history of C# and the .NET
framework and reviews a few often-misunderstood C# 1 concepts that are
very important as the foundation for fully exploiting C# 2 and 3.
Because the book addresses C# 1 with a light touch, existing C#
developers don't need to pick through the book in order to find new
material to enhance their skills. This book focuses on the C# 2 and 3
versions of the language, but clearly explains where features are
supported by changes in the runtime (CLR) or use new framework classes.
Each feature gets a thorough explanation, along with a look on how you'd
use it in real life applications. C# in Depth is both a vehicle for
learning C# 2 and 3 and a reference work. Although the coverage is
in-depth, the text is always accessible: You'll explore pitfalls that
can trip you up, but you'll skip over gnarly details best left to the
language specification. The overall effect is that readers become not
just proficient in C# 2 and 3, but comfortable that they truly
understand the language.

Web 2.0 makes headlines, but how does it make money? This concise guide
explains what's different about Web 2.0 and how those differences can
improve your company's bottom line. Whether you're an executive plotting
the next move, a small business owner looking to expand, or an
entrepreneur planning a startup, Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide illustrates
through real-life examples how businesses, large and small, are creating
new opportunities on today's Web. This book is about strategy. Rather
than focus on the technology, the examples concentrate on its effect.
You will learn that creating a Web 2.0 business, or integrating Web 2.0
strategies with your existing business, means creating places online
where people like to come together to share what they think, see, and
do. When people come together over the Web, the result can be much more
than the sum of the parts. The customers themselves help build the site,
as old-fashioned "word of mouth" becomes hypergrowth. Web 2.0: A
Strategy Guide demonstrates the power of this new paradigm by examining
how:
- Flickr, a classic user-driven business, created value for itself by
helping users create their own value
- Google made money with a model based on free search, and changed the
rules for doing business on the Web-opening opportunities you can take
advantage of
- Social network effects can support a business-ever wonder how
FaceBook grew so quickly?
- Businesses like Amazon tap into the Web as a source of indirect
revenue, using creative new approaches to monetize the investments
they've made in the Web Written by Amy Shuen, an authority on Silicon
Valley business models and innovation economics, Web 2.0: A Strategy
Guide explains how to transform your business by looking at specific
practices for integrating Web 2.0 with what you do. If you're executing
business strategy and want to know how the Web is changing business,

Probability Demystified

Many people do not understand the basic concepts of probability, as evidenced by the proliferation of those participating in lotteries, horse racing, and gambling at casinos. But probability and statistics are becoming increasingly important in today’s society. As the basic ideas are being taught in elementary schools through college, it’s important that everyone has a basic understanding of probability theory. Probability theory explains the happenings that occur due to chance. Although it is not possible to predict for certain the individual outcome of a chance process, it is possible to determine outcomes in the “long run,” and to predict the probability that something will eventually occur. This book will present the basics of probability in a non-rigorous manner. Only an understanding of arithmetic and some basic algebra are necessary to learn these ideas. No high-powered mathematical notation or formal proofs will be used, rather the concepts will be developed from examples using coins, dice, cards, and other common probability devices.

Head First Servlets and JSP: Passing the Sun Certified Web Component Developer Exam

Imagine a world without eBay…unthinkable! How would you get that Farrah Fawcett poster, retired Beanie Baby, or first-edition pet rock? Handling over a gazillion (OK, we exaggerate–it's actually only 1 billion) page views each day, server-side Java makes eBay work.

Isn't it time you learned the latest (J2EE 1.4) versions of Servlets & JSPs? This book will get you way up to speed on the technology you'll know it so well, in fact, that you can pass the Sun Certified Web Component Developer (SCWCD) 1.4 exam. If that's what you want to do, that is. Maybe you don't care about the exam, but need to use Servlets & JSPs in your next project. You're working on a deadline. You're over the legal limit for caffeine. You can't waste your time with a book that makes sense only AFTER you're an expert (or worse one that puts you to sleep).

No problem. Head First Servlets and JSP's brain-friendly approach drives the knowledge straight into your head (without sharp instruments). You'll interact with servlets and JSPs in ways that help you learn quickly and deeply. It may not be The Da Vinci Code, but quickly see why so many reviewers call it "a page turner". Most importantly, this book will help you use what you learn. It won't get you through the exam only to have you forget everything the next day.
Learn to write servlets and JSPs, what makes the Container tick (and what ticks it off), how to use the new JSP Expression Language (EL), what you should NOT write in a JSP, how to write deployment descriptors, secure applications, and even use some server-side design patterns. Can't talk about Struts at a cocktail party? That'll change. You won't just pass the exam, you will truly understand this stuff, and you'll be able to put it to work right away.

This new exam is tough–much tougher than the previous version of the SCWCD. The authors of Head First Servlets and JSP know: they created it. (Not that it EVER occurred to them that if they made the exam really hard you'd have to buy a study guide to pass it.) The least they could do is give you a stimulating, fun way to pass the thing. If you're one of the thousands who used Head First EJB to pass the SCWCD exam, you know what to expect!
