| An introduction to mathematical techniques used in engineering with an emphasis on applications in linear circuits and systemsThis book provides an integrated approach to learning the necessary mathematical tools specifically used for linear circuits and systems. The text introduces and examines several mathematical models consisting of one or more equations used in engineering to represent various physical systems. The techniques are discussed in depth so that the reader has a better understanding of how and why these methods work. Specific topics covered include matrices and complex numbers, signals, differential equations, and the widely used integral transforms: Laplace and Fourier transforms. The book also presents a discussion of mechanical systems that mathematically exhibit the same dynamic properties as electrical circuits. Extensive summaries are provided in the appendices, as well as in tables in each chapter.Mathematical Foundations for Linear Circuits and Systems in Engineering:Discusses circuit elements and how various mathematical models are derived Presents coverage of circuits, matrices and complex numbers, signals, differential equations and transformsIncludes extensive coverage of complex numbers, an overview of generalized functions, and detailed solutions of ordinary differential equations for first- and second-order systemsContains MATLAB code for end-of-chapter problems and a Solutions manual written in LaTeXMathematical Foundations for Linear Circuits and Systems in Engineering is written for upper undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of electrical and mechanical engineering. This book is also a reference for electrical, mechanical and computer engineers as well as applied mathematicians.

| With this one-sentence journal, couples can create a three-year time capsule of their relationship in the easiest way possible.Our Q&A a Day provides a question for every day of the year, with enough space for two people to jot down a one- or two-sentence response. The journal offers a variety of questions; some may address the relationship ("Where would you like to travel with your partner?"); others suggest writing something about each other ("What does your partner's laugh sound like?"); many are simply questions that each person answers individually ("What is your top priority today?"). Over a three-year period, both writers can see how their answers compare, contrast, and change as they create a lasting keepsake of their relationship.

| The Magazine of Photography and Ideas. This edition of Aperture presents a mix of new photographic work exploring questions of queer identity, as well as past figures and projects that are the subject of new research and curatorial work. In the Words section, Critic Vince Aletti, art historian Richard Meyer, and photographer Catherine Opie reflect on the term queer and its relationship with photography; Hal Fischer discusses his project Gay Semiotics with Julia Bryan-Wilson; Sophie Hackett revisits Joan E. Biren?s seminal ?Dyke Show?; Shannon Michael Cane on queer independent publishing and zine culture; Philip Gefter on his discovery of Sam Wagstaff?s never-before-seen photography and what it reveals about his storied relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe; and South African photographer Zanele Muholi speaks with Deborah Willis about her ongoing project to make her country?s LGBTQ community visible. The Pictures section features William J. Simmons on Jimmy DeSana?s work from the late 1970s; Senam Okudzeto on Lyle Ashton Harris?s projects addressing colonial history and homophobia in Ghana; Stephanie H. Tung on Ren Hang, a rising star of contemporary Chinese photography who creates provocative imagery; Kevin Moore on the queer dimension of David Benjamin Sherry?s colorful images of the American landscape, which reference icons of modernist photography; Andy Campbell on K8 Hardy?s performance-based photography; Sophie M?rner on trans photographer Nitzan Krimsky?s poignant self-documentation; Ana Finel Honigman on Dean Sameshima?s images created with appropriated vintage pornographic imagery; Dean Daderko on A.L. Steiner?s antic and political photo-collages and installations; and Eva Respini considers Mark Morrisroe?s fervent self-portraiture made during the 1980s.

| Bestselling author and business icon Sir Richard Branson shares his leadership secrets. While building the Virgin Group over forty years, Richard Branson has never shied away from seemingly outlandish challenges that others (including his own colleagues on several occasions) considered sheer lunacy. He has taken on giants like British Airways and won, and monsters like Coca-Cola and lost. Now Branson gives an inside look at his strikingly different swashbuckling style of leadership. Learn how fun, family, passion, and the dying art of listening are key components to what his extended family of employees around the world have always dubbed (with a wink) the ?Virgin Way.? This unique perspective comes from a man who dropped out of school at sixteen, suffers from dyslexia, and has never worked for anyone but himself. He may be famous for thinking outside the box?an expression he despises?but Branson asserts that ?you?ll never have to think outside the box if you refuse to let anyone build one around you.? This is a unique book on leadership from someone who readily admits he has never read a book on leadership in his life. So expect the unexpected.
