    Book SynopsisGlyn James was most recently Emeritus Professor in Mathematics at Coventry University and was previously Dean of the School of Mathematical and Information Sciences at Coventry University. He had an active interest in mathematics education and was a past chairman of the Education Committee of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, and a member of the Royal Society Mathematics Education Subcommittee. In 1995 he was chairman of the Working Group that produced the report Mathematics Matters in Engineering on behalf of UK professional bodies in engineering and mathematics. He also co-edited five mathematics books and was a member of the advisory boards for three international journals. Sadly, Glyn James passed away in October 2019 during the production of this edition; his enthusiastic input was sorely missed, but this and its companion text Advanced Modern Engineering Mathematics remain a fitting legacy.     Phil DykeTable of ContentsPreface xxii About the authors xxv Publisher’s acknowledgements xxvii Chapter 1 Number, Algebra and Geometry Chapter 2 Functions Chapter 3 Complex Numbers Chapter 4 Vector Algebra Chapter 5 Matrix Algebra Chapter 6 An Introduction to Discrete Mathematics Chapter 7 Sequences, Series and Limits Chapter 8 Differentiation and Integration Chapter 9 Further Calculus Chapter 10 Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations Chapter 11 Introduction to Laplace Transforms Chapter 12 Introduction to Fourier Series Chapter 13 Data Handling and Probability Theory Appendix I Tables Answers to Exercises Index

    Book SynopsisAbout our authors Robert L. Boylestad signed the original contract for Introductory Circuit Analysis in 1965, resulting in a publishing date of 1968: a current life history of some 60 years. He wrote the first 13 editions, with an average timespan of 4.5 years between editions. With each edition, he felt upon completion that he'd done all he could to make it the best available. However, as the years pass there is always something such as content, coverage, examples or problems that can withstand some improvement. For the 14th edition, Professor Boylestad felt it wise to join hands with Professor Brian Olivari (Maine Maritime Academy) to be sure he was fully aware of recent trends in the scope and depth of coverage in various subject areas. He feels it has been a wonderful union in developing the content of this edition.

  • Biotechnology Policy across National Boundaries

    Palgrave Macmillan Biotechnology Policy across National Boundaries

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisA globalization of innovation has produced the most massive spurt in biotechnology in world history. Businesses, universities, and non-governmental organizations are collaborating to produce a science-industrial complex in biotechnology. Using case studies of stem cell research, cloning, genetically modified food, in-vitro fertilization, and chimeras in a number of Eastern and Western countries around the world, I argue that much of this biotech activity is global in nature and independent of state control. This shift in the relative influence of state and non-state actors has led to the virtual deregulation of biotechnology and the liberation of innovation from geo-political constraints. These trends post a number of interesting social, political, and ethical issues for the contemporary period and suggest the need to rethink how controversial moral issues are handled by the science-industrial complex.Trade Review"Darrell West gives us a lucid guidebook to the ethical and policy conflicts in global biotechnology." - John A. Robertson, University of Texas Law School"In a globalized world there are surprisingly few efforts to present a multisectorial and multicultural analysis of biotechnology. Darrell West has succeeded in presenting a stimulating analysis of the way different cultures in geography and profession have constructed a public policy that will shape the 21st and bio-century." - Darryl Macer, Ph.D., Regional Adviser in Social and Human Sciences for Asia and the Pacific, Regional Unit for Social and Human Sciences in Asia and the Pacific (RUSHSAP)Table of ContentsPreface * The Globalization of Innovation * Science-Industry Collaboration * In-Vitro Fertilization and Assisted Reproductive Technology * Genetically Modified Food * Cloning * Stem Cell Research * Chimeras * Whose Ethical Standards?
