Ebook Free Download | How to Prove It: A Structured Approach, 2 edition | This How to Prove It: A Structured Approach, 2 edition book wasn’t assigned and instead we used Analysis by Lay. I didn’t get essential proof tactics/strategies out of Lay’s so I plunged myself into Library and after looking up one after another, I finally found this book. It is about as title says and not about Analysis. The book does not cover as much as one expects from Analysis books. But many of them I’ve seen seem to fail on teaching “how to prove” to study Analysis.
Velleman uses structured style as a technique. Two columns are prepared. The left column is Givens and right Goal. By restructuring Givens and Goal using relationships and definitions, some parts of Goal statement is moved to Givens, like peeling skins of onion. This process iterates until one finds the proving obvious. The whole process is a “scratch work” and a reader is able to see how the author structures the proof step by step, both from Goal and Givens viewpoints.
In past, there was only a Macintosh proofing program, but now Java version called Proof Designer is out. So Windows and Linux users alike can now enjoy this little program in conjunction with the book. Two disappointments with Proof Designer are that the output is only in the form of a traditional proof style which does not expose “the scratch work” and that the program does not use the two column style used in the book.
There are additional materials such as supplementary exercises, documentation, and a list of proof strategies (which is also available at the end of the book as a good reminder and reference), all available from author’s site for free

Ebook Free Download | Microsoft Excel 2010: Data Analysis and Business Modeling | This Microsoft Excel 2010: Data Analysis and Business Modeling book covers almost everything in Excel starting from the most basic thing such as putting together a arithmetic expression and end with some advanced modelling examples.
Written by a professor, the book format is like a university course starting with a bit of of theory, some examples and then followed by many exercises to refine your skills. By having many exercises and scenarios you actually have to think about the problem you face, works out your solutions before actually using excel to implement your solutions. This is to me great because so many books taught people only which buttons to press.
As a business analyst this is a very helpful book covering a lot of grounds teaching you a lot of business knowledge and business analysis skills, the excel bit of it is just the implementation which is the right way to go about it.
The downside is the poor editing, while the content and organisation is top class, the presenting bit is simple pathetic and it makes you think of a boring lecture with white chalks on a black board. And yes, the course did not cover as much on themes and design features of Excel 2010.

Ebook Free Download | Electromagnetics, Second Edition | The second edition of “Electromagnetics” by Edward J. Rothwell and Michael J. Cloud could very well serve an excellent advanced text for physicists and chemists who wish to advance their knowledge in the fundamentals and application of electricity, magnetism and electrodynamics. The general content matter is at a slightly greater level than the famous text, “Classical Electrodynamics (3rd ed. )” by John David Jackson, though it leaves out aspects of relativity and relativistic electrodynamics of charges and currents. The first five chapters of the text lays exhaustively and systematically the foundations and fundamentals of electricity and magnetism in well defined symbols and notations and in a succinct and lucid manner.
Its greatest strengths are displayed in chapters six and seven dealing with integral equations in electromagnetics in general, with applications to many standard electrical devices in the latter part of chapter seven.
Every chapter is followed by an abundant set of problems, which furthers the understanding of the contents of the chapters. The text further carries an excellent set of appendices which includes topics like dyadic analysis, six pages of useful mathematical identities, and a discussion of various coordinate systems.
Properties and identities of three of the most common special functions (Bessel, Legendre, and Spherical Harmonics) are tabulated in detail, followed by a comprehensive bibliography of other published works on electromagnetism. All in all the book should serve an excellent text for doctoral students in electrical engineering and physics. Congratulations to the CRC Press for publishing such an excellent text.

Ebook Free Download | Final Fantasy VII (7) Official Strategy Guide | I can’t think of 1 thing this Final Fantasy VII (7) Official Strategy guide doesn’t have except a list of Enemy Skills, which enemy you get them from, and what they do. However, they do list them in the Enemy List in the back. Other than that, this guide has everything, including all the Ultimate Weapons and Limit Breaks, every kind of Materia and useful combinations, a list of all the enemies, weapons, armors, and accessories, complete strategies to beating enemies, bosses, and mini-games, and anything else I might have missed…oh, yeah, and don’t forget how to raise Chocobos and how to get the 4 special kinds. It really couldn’t get better than this, and as far as the Enemy Skills go, if you don’t like to keep looking in the back of the book, just go online and print a nice list out from a site. Even those skilled and experienced in the “Final Fantasy” series NEED to get a guide, preferably this one or the one by Versus (they make excellent guides, especially for the “Zelda” series), otherwise they’ll miss all the secrets and things you would not be able to figure out by yourself.

Ebook Free Download | Switching to Microsoft Windows 7: The Painless Way to Upgrade from Windows XP or Vista | This Switching to Microsoft Windows 7: The Painless Way to Upgrade from Windows XP or Vista book gives an excellent outline of the procedures by which one can upgrade to Windows 7 from either Windows XP or Windows Vista (the latter of which I never installed). It describes the process of upgrading “from scratch,” aka a “clean installation,” which normally is best for moving up from Windows XP. It also describes the process of moving up from Windows Vista (which didn’t apply to me), which does not require a “clean installation,” also the latter often is the best when changing operating systems, generally speaking.
In separate sections, the book also gives a very good overview of preparing for an upgrade to Windows 7, as well as the new features (including the stricter security protections) found in Windows 7. I will add that at first, the increased security protections took some getting used to in Windows 7. It was quite a nuisance at first when exchanging and zipping up game files between pbem (play by email) opponents, for example.
In short, this is a great book for anyone planning to move from Windows XP or Vista to Windows 7. In my case, the new installation was relatively painless and efficient, even considering that I had to reinstall all of my programs.

Ebook Free Download | CCNP Security Firewall 642-617 Official Cert Guide | The author of this CCNP Security Firewall 642-617 Official Cert Guide book have done an outstanding job of writing book that introduces the Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) security products, explains how each product is applied, and how it can be leveraged to increase the security of your network.
Hucaby, Garneau and Sequeira, begin by discussing basic network security and traffic filtering strategies. Then, the authors review the basic methods that are used to interact with an ASA, and to control its basic operation. The authors also explain how to configure ASA interfaces with the parameters they need to operate on a network. They continue by covering the ASA features related to providing IP addressing through DHCP and to exchanging IP routing information through several different dynamic routing protocols. Next, the authors review the configuration commands and tools that can be used to manage and control an ASA, both locally and remotely. Then, they describe how to configure an ASA to generate logging information that can be collected and analyzed.
The authors also describe how IP addresses can be altered or translated as packets move through an ASA. They continue by reviewing access control lists and host shunning, and how these features can be configured to control traffic movement through an ASA. Next, the authors cover the Modular Policy Framework, a method used to define and implement many types of traffic inspection policies. Then, they discuss the features that can be leveraged to control the authentication, authorization, and accounting of users as they pass through an ASA. The authors also cover the methods and features that can be used to handle fragmented traffic, to prioritize traffic for QoS to police traffic rates, and to shape traffic bandwidth. They continue by reviewing the transparent firewall mode, and how it can be used to make an ASA more stealthy, when introduced into a network. Next, the authors discuss the multiple context mode that can be used to allow a single physical ASA device to provide multiple virtual firewalls or security contexts. Then, they cover two strategies that can be used to implement high availability between a pair of ASAs. The authors also explain the basic steps needed to configure an ASA to work with the AIP and CSC Security Services Modules, which can be used to offload in-depth intrusion protection and content handling. Finally, they list the exam preparation tools useful in the study process and provide a suggested study plan.
The goal of this most excellent book is to provide the most comprehensive coverage to ensure that you are well prepared for the exam.

Ebook Free Download | MATLAB Programming for Engineers | The information in this MATLAB Programming for Engineers is presented in a logical sequence and fully explained and illustrated. As the title suggests, this book is for engineers who need answers for their own use and is not intended to show you how to make fancy illustrations for presentations.
There are two shortcomings that bothered me. One is the lack of a table at the end of each chapter listing the other commands and functions that do almost the same thing as the ones covered in the chapter. This would increase this book’s usefulness as a reference. The other problem is the end of each chapter having an illustration of some interesting engineering project or concept. One claimed that Matlab could be used to drastically improve the fuel efficiency of motor vehicles. The other was a half baked political statement to the effect that you would be better off giving irrevocable control of your life over to a group of people who have a history of looking after their own interests first and others second.

Ebook Free Download | Electric Water: The Emerging Revolution in Water and Energy | Electric water is for investors and survivalists alike. Using building- block and off-the shelf approaches, Christopher Swan steps briskly thru, in an upbeat way, ways & means to make our way thru the Deadly Twin Challenges, Peaking Oil & Climate Change. Better than futile efforts to hedge one’s way thru societal collapse with gold & guns, ELECTRIC WATER uses Civil Engineering, not fear.
Villages work here, independent & localized economies; a workable continuum of life with mobility is presented. Using renewable electric generation at a residential and local scale, with unwieldy grid-based large power generation phased out over time, Swan shows the numbers to support his thesis. His book will grow on us, on our body politic, as we seek better solutions than food production traded for auto fuel, and complcated technofix that is too expensive & too long in coming. The Peaking Oil impacts on financial markets and food supply are upon us.
Electric water is must reading for political staffers charged with producing briefing papers, political parties putting planks on platforms, and political wannabes looking for affordable solutions that work without Big Brother’s supervision.
