Like having a private coach at their elbows, this introduction to algebra-based physics involves readers actively in a guided learn-by-doing process—sensing when they need a very patient exposition and when they need only minimal reinforcement, when they need to focus on concepts and when they need an opportunity to practice their quantitative skills. At the heart of the volume are worked examples in a unique, two-column format that focuses on the basic strategies and step-by-step thought processes involved in problem solving—with an emphasis on the relationship between the physical concepts and their mathematical expression. Color-coded drawings help readers visualize physics problems, and companion photographs show the same principle at work in different physical contexts, or juxtapose situations in which contrasting principles are at work. Real-world physics applications abound. Covers the full spectrum of topics in Mechanics, Thermal Physics, Electromagnetism, Light and Optics, and Modern Physics. For anyone needing an introduction to, or refresher of, algebra-based physics.

From the time when Charles Babbage first started construction of his difference engine through the construction of the Colossus computing machine and into the electronic micro circuit era the computer processing machine has undergone rapid and astounding development. From machines capable of carrying out a few calculations each minute the modern microprocessor is able to perform calculations in less than a second that the early machines would have taken over a thousand years to complete. This book winds back the clock almost 50 years to the dawn of the electronic microprocessor to show how a microprocessor can be built using only transistors. Includes all circuit diagrams and explanations on how they work through to the development of a fully functional unit that is capable of executing programs while displaying the inner workings of this amazing device. The reader can either follow the construction to build their own processor or just read through the process. Either way the information contained in this book should provide a source of interest for those who really want to understand how the processor at the core of almost every electronic system actually works.

Contagious yawning occurs in humans in response to thinking, seeing and hearing another organism yawn. Contagious yawning differs from spontaneous yawning that happens when you are bored, stressed or feeling sleepy. Although contagious yawning begins in early childhood, spontaneous yawning starts when an infant is in the mother’s womb. While it’s not clear why some individuals are more susceptible to contagious yawning, researchers are yet to provide an explanation why we yawn and what our bodies achieve after yawning. The eBook vividly demonstrates why a child yawns when he/she witness her mother or a close relative yawn. Despite the fact that yawning is an irritating behavior, chapter 3 outlines how yawning can help relieve stress.
