Elementary Differential Equations, Second Edition is written with the knowledge that there has been a dramatic change in the past century in how solutions to differential equations are calculated. However, the way the topic has been taught in introductory courses has barely changed to reflect these advances, which leaves students at a disadvantage. This second edition has been created to address these changes and help instructors facilitate new teaching methods and the latest tools, which includes computers. The text is designed to help instructors who want to use computers in their classrooms. It accomplishes this by emphasizing and integrating computers in teaching elementary or ordinary differential equations. Many examples and exercises included in the text require the use of computer software to solve problems. It should be noted that since instructors use their own preferred software, this book has been written to be independent of any specific software package. Features: Focuses on numerical methods and computing to generate solutions Features extensive coverage of nonlinear differential equations and nonlinear systems Includes software programs to solve problems in the text which are located on the author's website Contains a wider variety of non-mathematical models than any competing textbook This second edition is a valuable, up-to-date tool for instructors teaching courses about differential equations. It serves as an excellent introductory textbook for undergraduate students majoring in applied mathematics, computer science, various engineering disciplines and other sciences. They also will find that the textbook will aide them greatly in their professional careers because of its instructions on how to use computers to solve equations.

This is the second book by Martin Jenkins and Charles Roberts, about transport in the Isle of Man. The first volume covered the railway network, where as this new volume covers all other forms, road, rail, sea and air operations. The book is illustrated, using previously unpublished rare early color pictures, from the Online Transport Archive, which holds over a million transport images. Both the authors have managed to collect some truly interesting and often stunning pictures, from a period when color coverage of transport subjects was almost non existent.

Suitable for those new to nonlinear editing as well as experienced editors new to Final Cut Express, this book is an introduction to Apple's editing software package and the digital video format in general. You will come away with not only an in-depth knowledge of how to use Final Cut Express, but also a deeper understanding of the craft of editing and the underlying technical processes that will serve you well in future projects. Workflow, editing techniques, compositing, special effects, audio tools, and output are explained in clear, jargon-free terms. The book's emphasis is always on using Final Cut Express in the real world, and as such it is the only book to go beyond the interface to address crucial issues like proper setup, system configuration, hardware, the Mac operating system, what equipment to purchase, and troubleshooting common problems. Armed with this information, you will sidestep problems and complete projects of exceptional quality.

Whether you've mastered the basics of Final Cut Pro and want to take your skills to the next level, or if you're a video editor new to Final Cut Pro and looking to put your own system together, this book is for you. Written by "chawla," a Final Cut Pro guru and veteran moderator on 2-Pop/Creative Cow, this book covers the interface basics and workflow but goes beyond to address intermediate techniques and timesaving tips for professional results. Roberts does not assume you have an IT staff on hand and therefore goes into crucial issues of set up, configuration, consumer advice on hardware purchasing, and troubleshooting. Equally valuable is coverage of working with formats such as standard definition, uncompressed, and FireWire DV.

Every Man Is Not a Husband - Every Woman Is Not a Wife is a powerful and straightforward book which offers hope and brings clarity to readers in identifying the godly characteristics one should look for when choosing a spouse. Our society today is flooded with images of what men and women should look for when choosing a spouse and how they should act once they are married. * The world says that if we feel a connection, then we should follow our heart. * The world says as long as a man provides, then he is a good catch. * The world says that it is okay to sleep together before you are married. The problem is anytime you take advice from the world; you end up with the world's results. God wants us to thrive, especially in our marriages. Marriage is a gift from God and it is not to be entered into lightly. Countless television shows and movies have been created where men are depicted as either womanizers, or their actions are so immature, they are viewed no different than children. Women are sometimes depicted as either hyper-controlling or promiscuous and carefree. It is within marriage that: * We walk in forgiveness daily. * We are instructed to submit ourselves to one another. * We are to walk in unconditional love. All of these should draw us closer to God, which is why God values marriage, and which is why I believe this book is desperately needed now more than ever.
