This is a new type of calculus book: Students who master this text will be well versed in calculus and, in addition, possess a useful working knowledge of how to use modern symbolic mathematics software systems for solving problems in calculus. This will equip them with the mathematical competence they need for science and engineering and the competitive workplace. MACSYMA is used as the software in which the example programs and calculations are given. However, by the experience gained in this book, the student will also be able to use any of the other major mathematical software systems, like for example AXIOM, MATHEMATICA, MAPLE, DERIVE or REDUCE, for "doing calculus on computers".

Homogenization is a fairly new, yet deep field of mathematics which
is used as a powerful tool for analysis of applied problems which
involve multiple scales. Generally, homogenization is utilized as a
modeling procedure to describe processes in complex structures.
Applications of Homogenization Theory to the Study of Mineralized
Tissue functions as an introduction to the theory of
homogenization. At the same time, the book explains how to apply
the theory to various application problems in biology, physics and
engineering. The authors are experts in the field and collaborated
to create this book which is a useful research monograph for
applied mathematicians, engineers and geophysicists. As for
students and instructors, this book is a well-rounded and
comprehensive text on the topic of homogenization for graduate
level courses or special mathematics classes. Features: Covers
applications in both geophysics and biology. Includes recent
results not found in classical books on the topic Focuses on
evolutionary kinds of problems; there is little overlap with books
dealing with variational methods and T-convergence Includes new
results where the G-limits have different structures from the
initial operators
Multivariable Calculus with Mathematica is a textbook addressing
the calculus of several variables. Instead of just using
Mathematica to directly solve problems, the students are encouraged
to learn the syntax and to write their own code to solve problems.
This not only encourages scientific computing skills but at the
same time stresses the complete understanding of the mathematics.
Questions are provided at the end of the chapters to test the
student's theoretical understanding of the mathematics, and there
are also computer algebra questions which test the student's
ability to apply their knowledge in non-trivial ways. Features
Ensures that students are not just using the package to directly
solve problems, but learning the syntax to write their own code to
solve problems Suitable as a main textbook for a Calculus III
course, and as a supplementary text for topics scientific
computing, engineering, and mathematical physics Written in a style
that engages the students' interest and encourages the
understanding of the mathematical ideas
This book illustrates how MAPLE can be used to supplement a
standard, elementary text in ordinary and partial differential
equation. MAPLE is used with several purposes in mind. The authors
are firm believers in the teaching of mathematics as an
experimental science where the student does numerous calculations
and then synthesizes these experiments into a general theory.
Projects based on the concept of writing generic programs test a
student's understanding of the theoretical material of the course.
A student who can solve a general problem certainly can solve a
specialized problem. The authors show MAPLE has a built-in program
for doing these problems. While it is important for the student to
learn MAPLES in built programs, using these alone removes the
student from the conceptual nature of differential equations. The
goal of the book is to teach the students enough about the computer
algebra system MAPLE so that it can be used in an investigative
way. The investigative materials which are present in the book are
done in desk calculator mode DCM, that is the calculations are in
the order command line followed by output line. Frequently, this
approach eventually leads to a program or procedure in MAPLE
designated by proc and completed by end proc. This book was
developed through ten years of instruction in the differential
equations course. Table of Contents 1. Introduction to the Maple

Djupe and Gilbert investigate the political influence of church and
how membership in organized religious bodies shapes the political
life of members. Djupe and Gilbert's goal in this inquiry is to
re-center scholarly attention on the voluntary association as an
essential element of American civic and political life. They
develop a theoretical framework that captures the multifaceted
elements of church life that affect individual political attitudes
and actions. Political information from clergy, small groups, and
social networks flows plentifully in churches, but individuals
process that information differently depending on their motivations
related to their status in the church. Articulating a more fully
specified model of how associations expose individuals to political
information and norms will help us understand the political
opinions and behavior of citizens and the contribution of that
pattern to sustaining democracy.

This volume applies well-known and highly regarded data in a new
way and analyzes the impact of churches today on American political
attitudes and behavior. These important findings measure how
churches serve as political and social contexts and affect voting
behavior; party identification; and the positions that local
congregations and their membership take on abortion, public prayer,
the economy, defense, support for minorities, and other issues.
Political scientists, sociologists, and religious scholars will
find these new interpretations of survey data clear,
well-supported, and carefully qualified.
This study of the role of religion in political decision making
uses National Election study data, county-level data and the South
Bend Community Study. Chapter 1 provides a general overview and
introduction. Chapter 2 fills out the discussion about the nature
of religious and social contexts and their relationship to churches
and their members. These early chapters also define the design and
research methodology and describe earlier research on the subject.
Chapter 3 considers county-level data and changes relation to
religious environments and individual behavior. In chapter 4,
findings relating to voting and party identification are covered.
Chapter 5 considers voter turnout, attitudes on public policy
issues, economic expectations, views on issues relevant to the
church. Chapter 6 evaluates church contexts and individual
self-evaluations and perceptions about the impact of social
contexts. The political influence of church discussion partners is
the focus of chapter 7. The final chapter points to the political
relevance of churches as contexts and summarizes some of the
theoretical conclusions derived from the empirical study.
Appendices provide the methodological material about variables and
coding schemes needed for understanding the design of the work. A
bibliography points to related studies of note.
This volume discusses crucial issues in the overlap between
industrial organization and strategic management.
Gilbert et al. examine the impact of churches and church
membership patterns on third parties and independent candidates in
20th-century U.S. politics. Candidates who choose not to run for
office under the rubric of a major party face a well-known set of
obstacles, yet the absence of discussion about the interconnections
between religious institutions and minor parties is striking. The
book presents a theoretical framework for understanding how
religious institutions create, support, and sustain the political
culture of local communities; by playing this role religious
institutions support major parties and impede the electoral chances
of political outsiders.
The book's central finding is that third candidates are not
privy to the ties that bind Democratic and Republican voters to
their parties; one of the factors that creates and strengthens such
ties is religion. Therefore, third candidates do best where church
and party loyalties are weakest, or where third candidates have
existing bases of support. The rare third candidate or minor party
that possesses a base of support centered around a denomination or
religious group can overcome such barriers. These conclusions are
supported by analysis of census data, election returns, and voter
surveys spanning the 20th century. Special attention is given to
the 1992 and 1996 presidential candidacies of H. Ross Perot. This
is an important analysis for scholars and other researchers dealing
with American third parties and independent candidates and the
impact of religion on politics.

Intellectual property rights (IPR) are legal rights granted by
governments to encourage innovation and creative output by ensuring
that creators reap the benefits of their inventions or works. They
may take forms such as patents, trade secrets, copyrights,
trademarks, or geographical indications. Congress has
constitutional responsibility for legislating and overseeing IPR
and international trade policy. Responsibility for developing IPR
policy, engaging in IPR-related international negotiations, and
enforcing IPR laws cuts across multiple U.S. government agencies.
This book provides background on IPR and discusses the role of U.S.
international trade policy in enhancing IPR protection and
enforcement abroad. This book also describes Customs and Border
Protection's (CBP) processes for enforcing exclusion orders; and
assesses CBP's management of its enforcement process at ports of
entry.
