Introduction to PolymersThird EditionRobert J. Young andPeter A. LovellUniversity of Manchester, UK

Thoroughly updated, this long-awaited new edi-tion of a bestselling text provides extensive,detailed, and balanced coverage of polymerchemistry and polymer physics, spanning synthe-sis, characterization, bulk properties and mor-phology, and mechanical and electrical propertiesof polymers. The material has been completelyreorganized and expanded to offer a coherentformat for teaching and learning the fundamentalaspects of contemporary polymer science. Thisedition incorporates the most important develop-ments that have occurred in the past twodecades, including “living” radical polymeriza-tion, supramolecular polymerization, and blockand graft copolymer synthesis methods.

• Provides extensive, detailed, and balancedcoverage of important aspects of polymerchemistry and polymer physics up to thefinal year at the undergraduate level andbeyond

• Reorganizes the content to make the texteasier for teaching and learning

• Illustrates all topics with extensive reactionschemes and/or diagrams

• Derives equations from first principles, highlighting the inherent assumptions, limitations, and strengths in the use of eachequation

• Includes suggestions for further reading aswell as end-of-chapter problems


Selected Contents:

Concepts, Nomenclature and Synthesis ofPolymers. Characterization of Polymers. PhaseStructure and Morphology of Bulk Polymers.Properties of Bulk Polymers. Answers toProblems. Index.

General


A First Coursein DifferentialEquations,Modeling, andSimulationCarlos A. Smith andScott W. CampbellUniversity of South Florida,Tampa, USA

Emphasizing a practical approach for students,this text avoids overly theoretical explanationsand shows students how differential equationsare derived by applying basic physical principlesand experimental observations to engineeringsystems. This resource also covers classical meth-ods for obtaining the analytical solution of differ-ential equations and Laplace transforms. In addi-tion, the authors discuss how these equationsdescribe mathematical systems and how to usesoftware to solve sets of equations in which ana-lytical solutions cannot be determined.Numerical values are provided in all examplesand problems.

• Teaches how to model engineering systems

• Reviews the necessary physics material

• Explores how to obtain the analytical solutionof differential equations using actual physicalsystems

• Discusses how the roots of the characteristicequation provide the qualitative nature of theresponse of any systems

• Explains how to use simulation software

• Provides numerical values in all examples andproblems


Selected Contents:

Introduction. Objects in a Gravitational Field.Classical Solutions of Ordinary LinearDifferential Equations. Laplace Transforms.Mechanical Systems: Translational. MechanicalSystems: Rotational. Mass Balances. ThermalSystems. Electrical Systems. NumericalSimulation. Index.

MATLAB® withApplications toEngineering,Physics andFinanceDavid Baez-LopezUniversidad de las Américas,Puebla, Mexico

This book explains how to perform complexmathematical tasks with MATLAB® programs.The author first describes simple functions andthen addresses more advanced topics. He alsopresents examples of Simulink®for system mod-eling and simulation. The text explores the useof MATLAB in digital signal processing, chemicaland food engineering, astronomy, optics, andfinancial derivatives. MATLAB examples and pro-grams can be downloaded from the book’s web-site and a solutions manual is available uponqualifying course adoption.
