Complementing the traditional writer’sreference manuals and other books on technical writ-ing, it helps students understand the practical con-siderations in writing technical content. Drawing onhis own work, the author presents many first-handexamples of writing, editing, and publishing techni-cal materials. These examples illustrate how a publi-cation originated as well as various challenges andsolutions.

• Offers precise, hands-on coverage of technicalwriting

• Explains how to write for blogs, social networks, and other e-media


• Includes a number of personal anecdotes andhistorical stories that serve as real-world exam-ples of technical writing

• Shows students the various avenues for publish-ing their work

• Incorporates at least one figure, table, graphic,bullet list, or equation on most pages

Selected Contents:

The Nature of Technical Writing. Technical WritingBasics. The Writing Process. Scientific Writing.Business Communications. Technical Reporting.Using Graphical Elements. Publishing Your Work.Writing for E-Media. Writing with Collaborators.Glossary. Index.

General

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

Emphasizing a practical approach for students, thistext avoids overly theoretical explanations and showsstudents how differential equations are derived byapplying basic physical principles and experimentalobservations to engineering systems. This resourcealso covers classical methods for obtaining the ana-lytical solution of differential equations and Laplacetransforms. In addition, the authors discuss howthese equations describe mathematical systems andhow to use software to solve sets of equations inwhich analytical solutions cannot be determined.Numerical values are provided in all examples andproblems.

• 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


• Teaches how to model engineering systems

• Reviews the necessary physics material

• Provides numerical values in all examples andproblems


Selected Contents:

Introduction. Objects in a Gravitational Field.Classical Solutions of Ordinary Linear DifferentialEquations. Laplace Transforms. Mechanical Systems:Translational. Mechanical Systems: Rotational. MassBalances. Thermal Systems. Electrical Systems.Numerical Simulation. Index.

RandomPhenomenaFundamentals ofProbability andStatistics forEngineersBabatunde A. OgunnaikeUniversity of Delaware, Newark,USA

“The author does an excellent job presenting thematerial in an interesting way, making connectionsbetween theoretical and experimental statistics andbetween deterministic and probabilistic models. …a good book for engineers. … This book is distin-guished from the crowded field by the well-explained theory of statistics and how it providesinteresting applications. The big plus about thistext is the variety and large amount of review ques-tions, exercises, and application problems … .”—Walid K. Sharabati, The American Statistician, August

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

With over 160 practical examples and numerousexercises, this book explains how to perform com-plex mathematical tasks with MATLAB® programs.The author describes simple functions and thenaddresses more advanced topics. He also presentsexamples of Simulink® for system modeling and sim-ulation. The text explores the use of MATLAB in dig-ital signal processing, chemical and food engineer-ing, astronomy, optics, and financial derivatives.MATLAB examples and programs can be down-loaded from the book’s website and a solutions man-ual is available upon qualifying course adoption.
