 English | 2021 | ISBN: 1478010592 | 433 pages | pdf | 44.88 MB What role should universities have in revitalizing rust-belt motor cities left to decay by economic and political transformation? InCity of Broken Dreams, author Leslie J Bank addresses this question through a detailed case study of East London, a city in South Africa's Eastern Cape. Here, as in American motor cities like Detroit and Flint, the car's cultural power and association with the endless possibilities of modernity lie at the heart of the refusal to seek alternative development paths leading away from racially inscribed automotive capitalism. Rooting the university in a history of industrialisation, placemaking and city-building, this book examines contemporary debates about the role that urban universities should have in building economies, creating jobs and reshaping the politics and identities of their communities. In South Africa as in many other nations, institutions of higher education represent potentially powerful cultural and socioeconomic agents, but the 2015 #FeesMustFall student protests against rising tuition costs highlighted the limits of their power. Firmly grounded in the particulars of East London, this thoughtful study illuminates questions common to rust-belt cities and universities around the world.

English | 2022 | ISBN: 1284206246 , 978-1284206241 | 1064 pages | True EPUB | 113.62 MB This package includes the printed hardcover book and access to the Navigate Companion Website. The seventh edition of Advanced Engineering Mathematics provides learners with a modern and comprehensive compendium of topics that are most often covered in courses in engineering mathematics, and is extremely flexible to meet the unique needs of courses ranging from ordinary differential equations, to vector calculus, to partial differential equations. Acclaimed author, Dennis G. Zill's accessible writing style and strong pedagogical aids, guide students through difficult concepts with thoughtful explanations, clear examples, interesting applications, and contributed project problems.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 0367624052 | 616 pages | True PDF | 16.71 MB In the four previous editions the author presented a text firmly grounded in the mathematics that engineers and scientists must understand and know how to use. Tapping into decades of teaching at the US Navy Academy and the US Military Academy and serving for twenty-five years at (NASA) Goddard Space Flight, he combines a teaching and practical experience that is rare among authors of advanced engineering mathematics books.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1032113707| 719 pages | pdf | 69.86 MB This textbook provides a solid foundation into many approaches that are used in the analysis of advanced electromagnetic wave propagation problems. The techniques discussed are essential to obtain closed-form solutions or asymptotic solutions and meet an existing need for instructors and students in electromagnetic theory. The book covers various advanced mathematical methods used in the evaluation of the electromagnetic fields in rectangular, cylindrical and spherical geometries. The mathematics of special functions (i.e., Bessel, Hankel, Airy, Legendre, Error, etc.) are covered in depth, including appropriate Appendices. The author takes particular care to provide detailed explanations of auxiliary potentials, Hertz's vectors, Debye potentials, as well as the use of Green functions, the Watson transformation and the method of steepest descent in the solution of electromagnetic problems. Overall, this book is a good source for the many skills required in obtaining closed form and asymptotic solution, which in many instances cannot be obtained using computer codes of Maxwell's equations. Thus, it provides an excellent training for preparing graduate students in their research work. This book is intended for a graduate course in electromagnetic theory for students in electrical engineering. Students in physics and professionals will also find it appropriate and useful.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 8770226059 , 978-3036514529 | 274 pages | True PDF | 60.71 MB Advanced Applications of Computational Mathematics covers multidisciplinary studies containing advanced research in the field of computational and applied mathematics. The book includes research methodology, techniques, applications, and algorithms. The book will be very useful to advanced students, researchers and practitioners who are involved in the areas of computational and applied mathematics and engineering. |
