Calculus consists of the study of limits of various sorts and the systematic exploitation of the completeness axiom. It was developed by physicists and engineers over a period of several hundred years in order to solve problems from the physical sciences. It is the language by which precision and quantitative predictions for many complicated problems are obtained. It is used to find lengths of curves, areas and volumes of regions which are not bounded by straight lines. It is used to predict and account for the motion of satellites.
A complete overview of the role that packaging plays in the development and delivery of pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Including a thorough examination of the industry in size and scope, this source gives an introduction drug dosage forms, vaccines, biologically produced products, and medical foods to the reader.
Codes over Rings (Series on Coding Theory and Cryptology)This is the proceedings volume of the International Centre for Pure and Applied Mathematics Summer School course held in Ankara, Turkey, in August 2008. Contributors include Greferath, Honold, Landgev, Ling, Lopez, Nebe, Nechaev, A-zbudak, Sole, Wolfmann and Wood. The aim is to present a survey in fundamental areas and highlight some recent results.
Calculation of Roundabouts: Capacity, Waiting Phenomena and ReliabilityRoundabouts have become one of the most significant traffic control measures because they are generally statistically safer and more efficient than traditional at grade intersections. This book is dedicated to the evaluation of the operating conditions of roundabouts. In five parts, it thoroughly illustrates the calculation of the capacity, including reliability, and waiting phenomena parameters, such as the times spent in the system and queue lengths.
While mankind has developed myriad ways of applying and controlling power to dominate and shape our environment, through the use of — tools, weapons, machines, fuels, vehicles, instruments, clothing, buildings and roads, metals, plastics and drugs, agriculture, and electricity — the handling of information has lagged considerably, perhaps because the human brain is itself so remarkably powerful.
