Discrete Mathematics

As an introduction to discrete mathematics, this text provides a straightforward overview of the range of mathematical techniques available to students. Assuming very little prior knowledge, and with the minimum of technical complication, it gives an account of the foundations of modern mathematics: logic; sets; relations and functions. It then develops these ideas in the context of three particular topics: combinatorics (the mathematics of counting); probability (the mathematics of chance) and graph theory (the mathematics of connections in networks). Worked examples and graded exercises are used throughout to develop ideas and concepts. The format of this book is such that it can be easily used as the basis for a complete modular course in discrete mathematics.

2) demonstrates subtle hypodensity involving the right insular cortex (arrow) and
the lentiform nucleus (oval), suggestive of an underlying acute nonhemorrhagic
infarction. CT perfusion study, MTT map (Fig. 3) demonstrates markedly elevated
mean transit time involving the right insular cortex and the adjacent frontal and
temporal lobes. Corresponding CBF map (Fig. 4) demonstrates significantly
reduced blood flow corresponding to the area demonstrating elevated mean
transit time.

Physical Diagnosis Secrets

The 'Secrets' approach has been extraordinarily popular and has given birth to a whole series of books in question and answer format. Lists, mnemonics, tables, short answers, and an informal tone are employed tomake these books enjoyable as well as useful to practitioners, residents, or students. A wealth of high quality illustrations guide you through the first and most important of challenges facing medical students: performing the history and physical exam. Diagnostic skills are highlighted and weighted based on their clinical importance. This is a detailed, highly focused and practical guide that will reassure students faced with contact will real patients on the wards for the first time.

An Approach to Teaching Autistic Children

Pergamon International Library of Science, Technology, Engineering and Social Studies

An Approach to Teaching Autistic Children provides guide in methods of instructing autistic children. The title does not only cover teaching methods, but also discusses behavioral management, which is a critical skill in dealing with autism. The text first deals with the problems of diagnosis and classification, and then proceeds to talking about the role of teacher and psychologists in the education of autistic children. Next, the selection details the management of behavioral problems. The text also tackles the aims and methods of teaching, along with language problems and a method of assessment and teaching. The seventh chapter discusses organization of a school for autistic children, and the last chapter reviews some books about individual children. The book will be of great interest to psychologists, and practitioners of special education. Parents and legal guardians of autistic children will also benefit from the text.

Several factors have influenced the growth of the home care industry. One major
influence originated in 1965 when the U.S. Congress passed the Medicare laws
that allowed funds for home health services for older adults. These new laws
caused the number of home care agencies to increase rapidly. Today, it is
estimated that the number of home care aides needed by these agencies will
also increase. In fact, it will grow faster than average for all occupations through
2018. Another ...

Relativity: The Theory and Its Philosophy

Foundations & Philosophy of Science & Technology

Relativity: The Theory and its Philosophy provides a completely self-contained treatment of the philosophical foundations of the theory of relativity. It also surveys the most essential mathematical techniques and concepts that are indispensable to an understanding of the foundations of both the special and general theories of relativity. In short, the book includes a crash course in applied mathematics, ranging from elementary trigonometry to the classical tensor calculus. Comprised of 11 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to fundamental mathematical concepts such as sets, relations, and functions; N-tuples, vectors, and matrices; and vector algebra and calculus. The discussion then turns to the concept of relativity and elementary foundations of Newtonian mechanics, as well as the principle of special relativity and its interpretation by means of empiricism and rationalism. Subsequent chapters focus on the status of the doctrine of conventionalism in the theory of special relativity; the commensurability of classical and relativistic mechanics; mathematical foundations of special relativistic physics; and the classical or Newtonian theory of gravitation. The principle of general covariance and its relation to the principle of general relativity are also examined. The final chapter addresses the fundamental question as to the actual information concerning the structure of spacetime that is conveyed to us through the theory of general relativity. This monograph will be of interest to students, teachers, practitioners, and researchers in physics, mathematics, and philosophy.

The aim of Hilbert and his followers was to establish various metamathematical
properties of mathematical theories, such as consistency and completeness, on
the basis of purely formal, syntactical features of such theories. This programme
may be carried out by first disinterpreting the various primitive, descriptive
predicates and terms of the theory of interest. That is to say, that they are
replaced by purely symbolic placeholders and variables. Thus, after
disinterpretation a relation such ...
