Public economics studies how government taxing and spending activities affect the economy—economic efficiency and the distribution of income and wealth. This comprehensive text in public economics covers the core topics market failure and taxation as well as recent developments in the political economy and public choice literatures. It is unique not only in its broad scope but in its balance between public finance and public choice and its combination of theory and relevant empirical evidence.

Algebra 1 is one of the most intimidating subjects for math students. The reason is that prior to this point students have been dealing with numbers such as "3" and "43" and now suddenly in Pre-Algebra And Algebra 1 they begin to deal with variables such as "x" and "y". This concept at first can seem a bit daunting with all of those letters running around! The Math Video Tutor is named "Fractions Thru Algebra" because it starts off with the very basics - fractions - and from there slowly progresses into Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1. A great deal of time is spent on fractions and the concept of a negative number before the student is presented with Algebraic Expressions, which is where most Algebra 1 Textbooks begin. In this way a solid foundation is laid upon which Algebra 1 can be conquered.

This unique text uses Microsoft Excel® workbooks to instruct students. In addition to explaining fundamental concepts in microeconomic theory, readers acquire a great deal of sophisticated Excel skills and gain the practical mathematics needed to succeed in advanced courses.

The Trigonometry And Pre-Calculus Tutor is a 5 hour DVD course geared to fully prepare a student to enter university level Calculus. Most students that have trouble with Calculus discover quickly that the root cause of their difficulty is actually that they have never mastered essential material in Trigonometry. For instance, a Calculus textbook will assume that the student is comfortable converting between degrees and radians and can use the unit circle to mentally calculate the Sin of an angle without a calculator. These topics and many other essential concepts are presented in this DVD course with exceptional clarity so that the student will feel well prepared to move into Calculus and Physics.

Mathematics Education and Technology-Rethinking the Terrain: The 17th ICMI StudyMathematics Education and Technology-Rethinking the Terrain revisits the important 1985 ICMI Study on the influence of computers and informatics on mathematics and its teaching. The focus of this book, resulting from the seventeenth Study led by ICMI, is the use of digital technologies in mathematics teaching and learning in countries across the world. Specifically, it focuses on cultural diversity and how this diversity impinges on the use of digital technologies in mathematics teaching and learning.

A unified treatment of the vulnerabilities that exist in real-world network systems—with tools to identify synergies for mergers and acquisitions. Fragile Networks: Identifying Vulnerabilities and Synergies in an Uncertain World presents a comprehensive study of network systems and the roles these systems play in our everyday lives. This book successfully conceptualizes, defines, and constructs mathematically rigorous, computer-based tools for the assessment of network performance and efficiency, along with robustness and vulnerability analysis.

Calculus can be an intimidating subject. For many students, even the name sounds intimidating. The truth is that Calculus is based on a few very powerful principles and once you fully understand those principles all of the additional topics naturally follow. Most Calculus textbooks begin the subject with a nauseating discussion of limits and then proceed to the introduction of a derivative which is one of the core topics in Calculus.

In the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001, in his fourteenth year as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Alan Greenspan took part in a very quiet collective effort to ensure that America didn't experience an economic meltdown, taking the rest of the world with it. There was good reason to fear the worst: the stock market crash of October 1987, his first major crisis as Federal Reserve Chairman, coming just weeks after he assumed control, had come much closer than is even today generally known to freezing the financial system and triggering a genuine financial panic. But the most remarkable thing that happened to the economy after 9/11 was...nothing. What in an earlier day would have meant a crippling shock to the system was absorbed astonishingly quickly.

Blauert's and Xiang's "Acoustics for Engineers" provides the material for an introductory course in engineering acoustics for students with basic knowledge in mathematics. In the second, enlarged edition, the teaching aspects of the book have been substantially improved. Carefully selected examples illustrate the application of acoustic principles and problems are provided for training.

The interactive activity book has brightly colored pages and lively text and illustrations that will appeal kid grade 3-5. Math includes activities to create simple graphs and charts, make and use measuring tools, understand fractions, and design games. Science teaches students to collect and record data, track the weather, identify parts of an insect, and set up simple experiments. Each book starts with computer basics such as becoming familiar with the keyboard, monitor, and mouse but there are no diagrams or pictures of computer screens illustrating the functions described. Pages have numbered, step-by-step directions enclosed in colored boxes that are sometimes difficult to read. The books are written in an informal style, with chatty remarks such as "duh-you knew that!" or "...old news, right?" While the subject matter is very elementary, the "how to" directions for following the computer activities require a more sophisticated reading level. Most children won't have the skill or patience to read all of the directions on their own.

SAM (Synthesis and Analysis of Mechanisms) is an interactive PC-software package for the design, analysis (motion and force) and optimization of arbitrary planar mechanisms. Mechanisms can either be generated via the design wizards or they can be assembled from basic components including beams, sliders, gears, belts, springs, dampers and friction elements. SAM integrates pre-processing, numerical analysis and post processing, such as animation and xy-plots, in an easy to-use environment offering pull-down menus, mouse support and help facilities.The mathematical foundation of the analysis kernel, which is inspired by the well-known finite element approach, offers a large number of features and overcomes many of the problems of traditional mechanism programs. Open loop, closed loop, multiple loop and even complex planetary mechanisms can equally well be analyzed due to the finite element formulation. Even the most complex mechanisms, including planetary gear trains, can be modeled within minutes.
