Access Project BookJulitta Korol

This is a project book that guides you through the process of building a traditional Access desktop database that uses one Access database as the front-end (queries, reports, and forms) and another Access database to contain the tables and data. By separating the data from the rest of the database, the Access database can be easily shared by multiple users over a network. When you build a database correctly at the outset, later this database can be migrated to another system with fewer issues and fewer objects that need to be redone.

Structural Steel Design, 3/e Abi O. Aghayere and Jason Vigil

Structural Steel Design, Third Edition is a simple, practical, and concise guide to structural steel design – using the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and the Allowable Strength Design (ASD) methods - that equips the reader with the necessary skills for designing real-world structures. Civil, structural and architectural engineering students intending to pursue careers in structural design and consulting engineering, and practicing structural engineers will find the text useful because of the holistic, project-based learning approach that bridges the gap between engineering education and professional practice. The design of each building component is presented in a way such that the reader can see how each element fits into the bigger picture of an entire building design and the construction process. Structural details and practical example problems that realistically mirror what one obtains in professional design practice are presented.

F E A T U R E S

• Updated content/example problems for the current codes (ASCE 7, AISC 15th edition, and IBC)

• Adds coverage to ASD and examples with ASD to parallel those that are done LRFD

• Follows a holistic approach to structural steel design that considers the design of individual steel framing members in the context of a complete structure.

Abi O. Aghayere, PhD, is a licensed professional engineer and a professor of structural engineering at Drexel University.

Jason Vigil, PE, SE is a consultant in Rochester, New York with more than 15 years of experience as a structural engineer, specializing in buildings of varying complexity and is an adjunct professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Linear Algebra Lisa Shen, Haohao Wang, J. WojdyloLinear algebra is one of the most widely used mathematical theories around, and has applications in virtually every area of mathematics, including multivariate calculus, differential equations, and probability theory. The purpose of this book is to bridge the gap between the abstract theoretical aspects and the computational applications of linear algebra. The aim of this book is two-fold: to introduce the fundamental concepts of linear algebra and to apply the theorems in computation-oriented applications.

F E A T U R E S

• Covers theory and applications emphasizing topics useful in other disciplines

• Presents a brief introduction of some aspects of abstract algebra that relate directly to linear algebra, such as groups, rings, modules, fields and polynomials over fields.

Lisa Shen is a professor of Mathematics at the University of the Chinese Academy of Science.

Haohao Wang is a professor of Mathematics at Southeast Missouri State University.

J. Wojdylo is a professor of Mathematics at the Southeast Missouri State University.

Essentials of Modern AlgebraSEcond EdiTion

Cheryl Chute MillerThis new edition is intended for the undergraduate one or two semester course in modern algebra, also called abstract algebra. It follows that basic plan, using the axioms or rules to understand structures such as groups, rings, and fields, and giving the reader examples to help, but leaving many theorems and examples for them to try. The unique feature of the text is the list of “projects” at the end of each chapter that can be used in the classroom (with students solving them), alone, or in groups with the aid of an instructor. Because of their interactive nature, the projects are designed to understand concepts or to lead the student to new ideas they will encounter later.

F E A T U R E S

• Features a logic-based presentation, with the structures of groups, rings, and fields presented in similar ways through objects, sub-objects, mappings between objects, and quotients of objects

• Follows a fairly straight path without many of the side areas, such as modules, in order to introduce Galois Theory and solvability of polynomials

• Provides numerous examples, additional exercises and the inclusion of “projects” in each chapter

• Instructor’s resources available upon adoption

Cheryl Chute Miller holds a PhD in mathematics from Wesleyan University and is currently a professor of mathematics at SUNY Potsdam. She has over 20 years of teaching experience, has written numerous articles, and has received several awards and grants during her career.
