This unique textbook combines traditional geometry presents a
contemporary approach that is grounded in real-world applications.
It balances the deductive approach with discovery learning,
introduces axiomatic, Euclidean and non-Euclidean, and
transformational geometry. The text integrates applications and
examples throughout. The Third Edition offers many updates,
including expaning on historical notes, Geometry and Its
Applications is a significant text for any college or university
that focuses on geometry's usefulness in other disciplines. It is
especially appropriate for engineering and science majors, as well
as future mathematics teachers. The Third Edition streamlines the
treatment from the previous two editions Treatment of axiomatic
geometry has been expanded Nearly 300 applications from all fields
are included An emphasis on computer science-related applications
appeals to student interest Many new excercises keep the
presentation fresh
Direct coal liquefaction, a synthetic liquid fuel process, is
one of the major developmental alternatives for meeting the
anticipated fuel demands for the twenty-first century. This work
provides a retrospective assessment of past attempts in this
century to develop synthetic liquid fuel and applies the findings
to produce reliable and pertinent data for the future.
Retrospective technology assessment, a recent methodological
invention, is used by the authors to analyze the past synthetic
liquid fuel programs and the reasons for their failures. Bringing
to bear four different perspectives--economic, technological,
policy, and historical--the authors draw broad conclusions that
will help guide the next development effort in the United
States.
