For courses in Java Data Structures. Programming Abstractions in Java: A Client-First Approach Programming Abstractions in Java is intended for use in the second programming course in most college or university curriculum. Stanford University’s Eric Roberts employs a novel strategy called the client-first approach while maintaining full coverage of the CS2 curriculum. In the traditional approach, students learn how to use a particular data structure, how to implement it, and what its performance characteristics are—all at the same time. Roberts exposes the weakness of this model. In short, students are trying to understand how a structure is implemented before they have mastered how one would use that structure in an application. With Programming Abstractions in Java and Roberts’s client-first approach, students learn how to use the full set of collection classes before they tackle any implementation issues. By tackling compelling, real-world assignments in which they use the collection classes as clients, students gain a firm sense of the underlying data model and how each structure can be used. Once they have had time to master the client-side perspective, students are ready to explore the range of possible implementations and their associated computational characteristics. They can also begin to learn the software development skills so desperately needed in the technology industry today.

This title can be used to either complement another electromagnetics text, or as an independent resource. Designed primarily for undergraduate electromagnetics, it can also be used in follow-up courses on antennas, propagation, microwaves, advanced electromagnetic theory, computational electromagnetics, electrical machines, signal integrity, etc. This title also provides practical content to current and aspiring industry professionals. MATLAB-Based Electromagentics provides engineering and physics students and other users with an operational knowledge and firm grasp of electromagnetic fundamentals aimed toward practical engineering applications, by teaching them “hands on” electromagnetics through a unique and comprehensive collection of MATLAB computer exercises and projects. Essentially, the book unifies two themes: it presents and explains electromagnetics using MATLAB on one side, and develops and discusses MATLAB for electromagnetics on the other. MATLAB codes described (and listed) in TUTORIALS or proposed in other exercises provide prolonged benefits of learning. By running codes; generating results, figures, and diagrams; playing movies and animations; and solving a large variety of problems in MATLAB, in class, with peers in study groups, or individually, readers gain a deep understanding of electromagnetics.
