Known for accuracy, precision, and rigor, Soo Tan now brings those same qualities to the Calculus course. With his clear, concise writing style, and use of relevant, real world examples, Tan introduces abstract mathematical concepts with his intuitive approach that captures student interest without compromising mathematical rigor. In keeping with this emphasis on conceptual understanding, each exercise set begins with concept questions and each end-of-chapter review section includes fill-in-the-blank questions which help students master the definitions and theorems in each chapter. Additionally, many questions asking for the interpretation of graphical, numerical, and algebraic results are included among both the examples and the exercise sets.
1.2.Features
Real-life, Relevant Applications: Soo Tan's intuitive approach to calculus links the abstract ideas of calculus with concrete, real-life examples. One such example—the maglev (magnetic levitation) train is used as a common thread from limits through integration, to show students the connection between all of these concepts.
Intuitive Presentation Style: By introducing the limit concept in the context of finding the rate of change of the maglev, Tan captures student interest from the very beginning – this approach demonstrates the relevance of calculus in the real world. Elsewhere in the text, this intuitive approach is again used to advantage to introduce and explain some of the fundamental theorems in calculus, such as the Intermediate Value Theorem and the Mean Value Theorem.
Guidance When Students Need It: Comments appear next to many of the steps and aid in student understanding. Notes found at the end of many examples further explain and clarify the example, and point out subtleties within them. Cautions advise students on how to avoid common mistakes and misunderstandings, addressing both student misconceptions and situations that often lead students down unproductive paths.
Emphasis on Concepts in the Exercise Sets: End of section Concept Questions are designed to test students' understanding and encourage students to explain these concepts in their own words. Beginning each end of chapter review, Concept Review Questions give students a chance to check their knowledge of the basic definitions and concepts.
Emphasis on Problem-Solving: Problem-Solving Techniques, at the end of selected chapters, teach students the tools they need to make seemingly complex problems easier to solve.
1.3.About the Author Soo T. Tan
Soo T. Tan, Professor of Mathematics at Stonehill College, has published numerous papers in Optimal Control Theory and Numerical Analysis. He received his S.B. degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his M.S. degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and his Ph.D. from the University of California at Los Angeles. "One of the most important lessons I learned from my early experience teaching these courses is that many of the students come into these courses with some degree of apprehension. This awareness led to the intuitive approach I have adopted in all of my texts."

Proceedings of the 14th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering - Geotechnical Engineering in Urban Environments
Author: V. Cuéllar, E. Dapena, E. Alonso, J.M. Echave, A. Gens, J.L. de Justo, C.Oteo, J.M. Rodríguez-Ortiz, C. Sagaseta, P. Sola, A. Soriano | Size: 1.96 GB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Millpress Science Publishers | Year: 2007 | pages: 2.304 pages | ISBN: 978-90-5966-055-7
Proceedings of the 14th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Madrid, Spain, 24-27 September 2007
Fifty years ago only 10% of the world population lived in urban areas. Nowadays this percentage has reached about 50% and it might increase to reach a 70% in 2025. On the other hand, the number of large cities with five to ten millions inhabitants has been increasing from 18 in 1970 to 22 in 1990, and will reach 33 towards 2010, 21 of them belonging to developing countries. Such forecasts justify the need for studying the urban environments in order to ensure that this development will occur in a sustainable mode.
This essentially means that the satisfaction of our present needs should not compromise the possibilities of future generations to satisfy their own needs.
The objective of the 14th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering is to provide a venue for geotechnical engineers and scientists involved with Soil Mechanics to present new achievements and experiences. The proposed main theme of the Conference is 'Geotechnical Engineering in Urban Environments'
Along with the geotechnical problems related to man-made grounds treated in past European meetings, the purpose of this Conference theme is to extend the geotechnical implications to any type of urban problems: the planning and execution of deep excavations, underground works; rehabilitation of existing buildings (some of them of high artistic or historical value) and infrastructures, which have been solving vital problems for the city in the last decades.
In doing so, any technique of ground improvement may be useful depending upon the specific soil conditions and their possible evolution which should be clearly established based on the experience gained with previous investigations. The new Eurocodes on Geotechnics point out the role of comparable experiences in harmonizing the geotechnical design in different European countries.

Dear All,
I am looking for the following standard from the API:

Geotechnical and Foundation Design Considerations
FIRST EDITION | APRIL 2011 | 103 PAGES
PRODUCT NO. GG2GEO01
This document contains requirements and recommendations for those aspects of geoscience and foundation engineering that are applicable to a broad range of offshore structures, rather than to a particular structure type. Such aspects are:
•site characterization,
•soil and rock characterization,
•design and installation of foundations supported by the seabed (shallow foundations),
•identification of hazards, and
•design of pile foundations.
Aspects of soil mechanics and foundation engineering that apply equally to offshore and onshore structures are not addressed. The user of this document is expected to be familiar with such aspects.
