This reference provides a comprehensive treatment of all aspects
of the community college in America. The volume contains broad
sections on the historical development of community colleges, their
mission and functions, curriculum and instruction, managerial
concerns, financial issues, human resources, faculty, students, and
the context in which they operate. Roughly 50 chapters, prepared by
expert contributors, summarize and synthesize available research on
particular topics and discuss those issues critical to the future
of the community college in America. Each chapter provides
detailed, bibliographic references and the volume concludes with an
informative, bibliographical essay. A massive synthesis of research
on theory and practice, this reference will be valued by everyone
interested in the past, present, and future of the community
college in America.
The first edition of this book was reviewed in 1982 as the most
extensive treatment of Pade approximants actually available. The
revised version aims to maintain this status. It has been updated,
with several new sections added, including a new chapter on
multiseries approximants. The book is a comprehensive treatment of
all straightforward aspects of Pade approximation, and some themes
are developed to the level of current research. Applications to
statistical mechanics and critical phenomena are extensively
covered, and there are newly extended sections devoted to circuit
design, matrix Pade approximation, computational methods, and
integral and algebraic approximants. The book also contains an
extensive bibliography of recent monographs on other specialized
material. This straightforward treatment should appeal to
scientists, engineers and mathematicians.
