Review
"Kaufmann/Schwitters textbook, Algebra for College Students remains to be a good textbook for our students. It is clear in its procedural approach; as well as the number of word problems discussed in each section."
"Quite frankly, I have used Kaufmann/Schwitters for the last three editions. This probably covers the last 8 years or so. I believe it is the most readable, straightforward algebra text on the market. I have examined the others. None compare to this one."
"We found the textbook to be easy to read and there were lots of examples in each section." --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
Product Description
Kaufmann and Schwitters have built this text's reputation on clear and concise exposition, numerous examples, and plentiful problem sets. This traditional text consistently reinforces the following common thread: learn a skill; practice the skill to help solve equations; and then apply what you have learned to solve application problems. This simple, straightforward approach has helped many students grasp and apply fundamental problem solving skills necessary for future mathematics courses. Algebraic ideas are developed in a logical sequence, and in an easy-to-read manner, without excessive vocabulary and formalism. The open and uncluttered design helps keep students focused on the concepts while minimizing distractions. Problems and examples reference a broad range of topics, as well as career areas such as electronics, mechanics, and health, showing students that mathematics is part of everyday life. The text's resource package--anchored by Enhanced WebAssign, an online homework management tool--saves instructors time while also providing additional help and skill-building practice for students outside of class.

Introductory Algebra - An Applied Approach, 8 edition
Author: Joanne S. Lockwood and Richard N. Aufmann | Size: 58 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: BROOKS/COLE CENGAGE Learning | Year: 2011,2009 BROOKS/COLE CENGAGE Learning | pages: 687 | ISBN: ISBN-10: 1439046042 | ISBN-13: 978-1439046043
Introductory Algebra - An Applied Approach, 8 edition
As in previous editions, the focus in INTRODUCTORY ALGEBRA remains on the Aufmann Interactive Method (AIM). Students are encouraged to be active participants in the classroom and in their own studies as they work through the How To examples and the paired Examples and You Try It problems. The role of "active participant" is crucial to success. Presenting students with worked examples, and then providing them with the opportunity to immediately work similar problems, helps them build their confidence and eventually master the concepts. To this point, simplicity plays a key factor in the organization of this edition, as in all other editions. All lessons, exercise sets, tests, and supplements are organized around a carefully-constructed hierarchy of objectives. This "objective-based" approach not only serves the needs of students, in terms of helping them to clearly organize their thoughts around the content, but instructors as well, as they work to design syllabi, lesson plans, and other administrative documents. The Eighth Edition features a new design, enhancing the Aufmann Interactive Method and the organization of the text around objectives, making the pages easier for both students and instructors to follow.

(new image cover)
This new edition has been developed to conform to Eurocodes. The purpose is to show how to apply the principles of limit state design to Eurocode 2:2004 by means of a simple worked example for a reinforced concrete building frame. The calculations and details are presented in a form for drawing office purposes generally in accordance with British Standards. 2009.

The Institution in conjunction with TRADA have published the Manual for the design of timber building structures to Eurocode 5, a new book and CD based on the European standards for timber structural designs in the UK.
This manual supports the design of structures to BS EN 1995-1-1:2004 for construction in the UK.
The basic format of manuals published by the Institution for other structural materials is followed.
Guidance is provided on the design of structures of single-storey and medium-rise multi-storey buildings using common forms of structural timberwork.
Structures designed in accordance with this manual will normally comply with EC5.
Nationally Determined Parameters from the UK National Annex have been taken into account in the design formulae that are presented.
The manual is laid out for hand calculation, but the procedures are equally suitable for computer-based applications.
Timber is a relatively complex structural material but designers should find the manual concise and useful in practical design.
Methods are given for initial sizing design as well as for final design.
This Manual is part of a suite of manuals for the Eurocodes.

The second edition of MECHANICS OF MATERIALS by Pytel and Kiusalaas is a concise examination of the fundamentals of Mechanics of Materials. The book maintains the hallmark organization of the previous edition as well as the time-tested problem solving methodology, which incorporates outlines of procedures and numerous sample problems to help ease students through the transition from theory to problem analysis. Emphasis is placed on giving students the introduction to the field that they need along with the problem-solving skills that will help them in their subsequent studies. This is demonstrated in the text by the presentation of fundamental principles before the introduction of advanced/special topics.

Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous, Radioactive, and Mixed Wastes
Author: Roger D. Spence & Caijun Shi | Size: 7.0 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2004 | pages: 392 | ISBN: 1566704448 & 9781566704441
Product Description
The development of stabilization and solidification techniques in the field of waste treatment reflects the efforts to better protect human health and the environment with modern advances in materials and technology. Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous, Radioactive, and Mixed Wastes provides comprehensive information including case studies, selection criteria, and regulatory considerations on waste characterization, contaminant transport and leachability, testing methods for stabilized waste forms, and the interactions between contaminants and stabilizing components.
The book describes various systems based on cement technology that are used for stabilization and solidification of wastes. It demonstrates how to design a stabilized waste form, including the use of statistical techniques for generating response surface models for large, complicated applications. It provides guidelines for the selection of bonding materials, such as hydraulic cements, polymers, and hydroceramics, and discusses several additives and sorbents used to enhance immobilization, binder properties, and contaminant stabilization. The book portrays the transport mechanisms of contaminants in treated wastes and how to predict the transport of contaminants with various mathematical models. Following a discussion of waste types, principles, and properties of cemented waste forms, such as microstructure and durability, it outlines the test methods used to evaluate them.
Fusing research, technology, and general practice principles taken from the firsthand experience of scientists, engineers, regulators, and teachers, Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous, Radioactive, and Mixed Wastes can be used in advanced environmental engineering courses and as a reference for stabilization and solidification engineers, technology vendors and buyers, laboratory technicians, scientists, environmentalists, policymakers, and managers in treatment storage and disposal facilities.
Review
Spence and Shi have utilized a significant number of well-recognized researchers in the field to produce this very useful and authoritative volume to review and highlight these very useful remediation techniques.
