Book Description

This unique and comprehensive text considers all aspects of heat exchanger fouling from the basic science of how surfaces become fouled to very practical ways of mitigating the problem and from mathematical modelling of different fouling mechanisms to practical methods of heat exchanger cleaning. The problems that restrict the efficient operation of equipment are described and the costs, some of them hidden costs, that are associated with the fouling of heat exchangers are discussed. Some simple concepts and models of the fouling processes are presented as part of the introduction to the subject.

Description:
A technique was developed to non-destructively measure the three-dimensional soot deposition thickness profiles in diesel engine exhaust components using a digital neutron imaging technique. In this technique, the test component positioned on a rotating platform is exposed to a thermal neutron beam from a nuclear reactor and the flux transmitted through the test object is measured using a digital neutron imaging system. The thickness of the diesel soot is then determined by analyzing the attenuation of this neutron flux. The technique was applied here to an aluminum pipe that was fouled for approximately 12h by diesel exhaust from a diesel generator. The analysis of the neutron images indicated that the average soot thickness in the fouled pipe decreased nonlinearly along the pipe. It was also found that the measurements using this technique were within 16% of the direct destructive measurements of the thickness determined after sectioning the pipe.

Book Description

Among the myriad of constants that appear in mathematics, p, e, and i are the most familiar. Following closely behind is g, or gamma, a constant that arises in many mathematical areas yet maintains a profound sense of mystery.

In a tantalizing blend of history and mathematics, Julian Havil takes the reader on a journey through logarithms and the harmonic series, the two defining elements of gamma, toward the first account of gamma's place in mathematics.

Introduced by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707-1783), who figures prominently in this book, gamma is defined as the limit of the sum of 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + . . . up to 1/n, minus the natural logarithm of n--the numerical value being 0.5772156. . .. But unlike its more celebrated colleagues p and e, the exact nature of gamma remains a mystery--we don't even know if gamma can be expressed as a fraction.

Among the numerous topics that arise during this historical odyssey into fundamental mathematical ideas are the Prime Number Theorem and the most important open problem in mathematics today--the Riemann Hypothesis (though no proof of either is offered!).

Sure to be popular with not only students and instructors but all math aficionados, Gamma takes us through countries, centuries, lives, and works, unfolding along the way the stories of some remarkable mathematics from some remarkable mathematicians.

Good but demanding.......2007-06-19

Target:

Despite what the author says in the introduction, the book is addressing people with a firm grip on high-school (=real) calculus; not only does Havil go into difficult topics, his proofs are rather succinct and often require some thinking on the reader's part. However, a good high-school student should be able to follow most of the book, even the last chapter that deals with complex analysis as Havil does a great job explaining it.

Pluses:

I think this book is ideal for high-school students and undergrads who want to know more mathematics in general and gamma and real analysis in particular.
It's one of the best popular books i've read. Havil presents difficult issues with great ease, leaving tiny bits of proofs for the reader to fill in, but which shouldn't be a problem for anyone who was able to understand what he did up to that point (as i have said, high-school calculus should be enough).
Something i appreciated is Havil states and proves a LOT of exciting results like the probability that two numbers should be co-prime is 6/pi*2, Euler's product formula, etc. The writing is good, clear and direct, Havil delivers on every promise he makes and doesn't do a lot of hand-waving like most other popular math books do; however, in chapter 12, he writes 12 formulas that link gamma with pi, e, log(2), pi*2, the floor function, etc. and leaves 10 of them for the reader to prove.
The are cases when the author deliberately chose a longer proof to illustrate how incredibly close some mathematical expressions are (for ex. he shows that 1+1/2+...+1/n -log(n+1) is bounded by zeta(2)=pi*2/6).
Havil makes use of a lot of historical information on the mathematical concepts involved, as well as the people who developed them, and he does it in the same thorough manner in which he wrote the book. Great info here as well.

Minuses:

I have found about 20 typos throughout the book, including 4 in formulas used in proofs, although nothing that can not be corrected by simply checking the next line for continuity.
The book is not all about gamma; as Havil says, gamma is deeply connected to the harmonic series and to the logarithms so a closer look at these and their other functions is necessary; however, in some cases, i felt the author had strayed a bit too much.

An excellent read!.......2007-03-08

Evidently some "reviewers" should be reviewing books involving simpler mathematics; they clearly didn't get what this book is about!!

Havil's book is not really for the person in the street despite his introductory comments. You must have sufficient background to stand up to some lengthy derivations and the willingness to work through them in detail. If you lack these, I don't think you'll get much out of the book.

All in all, a very nice piece of mathematical writing!

Though I've found only a few errors in the entire book, a complete errata list would be nice.

Needs to read Bill Dunham.......2006-10-25

This had such promise...but never materialized. Havil is obviously enchanted with Euler--who wouldn't be?--but he fails to explain the material, and seems to have failed to proofread his book.

In Dunham's Journey Through Genius, the explanations are clear and step-wise. I read it with a thick pad of paper and a pen--I don't really trust anyone--but it was all workable. Havil states things unclearly, so it's far from obvious just what he's trying to show. The discussions are unfollowable, at least to me.

Reading as much of this as I was able to stand is a lot like finding out that there's no Santa Claus.

woah!.......2006-05-05

I'm an aspiring theoretical math major entering college in the fall, and I must say that this is one of the most fasinating books I've ever laid hands on. If you've had a fair deal of calculus and you're willing to dig through a couple of hefty proofs, this book will take you to some really wild places. In short... buy it!!

A tough (but rewarding) read for an inconsistent audience.......2005-10-13

Per the foreword, this book is "aimed at students of mathematics, be they eager high school students or undergraduates". As a summa cum laude graduate math major (of some years ago) I expected to enjoy an romp thru some beautiful mathematical ideas. Well, the ideas are there, and Havil is to be commended for gathering some unusual and interesting topics. And much of the extensive mathematical notation is supported with nice numeric examples. However, much of it is not. All too often there are pages of integrals, sums, and products that go happily on without a clue to some of the beautiful things that are happening. The most frustrating example is the "proof" of Euler's zeta function formula, one of the prettiest pieces of mathematics. I still cannot understand Havil's presentation. (It was thrilling to read the same proof in "Prime Obsession" by Derbyshire so I know it can be explained with simple algebra.) Also, "Gamma" appears to be intended to be read in one sitting since it is rarely possible to begin at an advanced chapter. It is assumed that you remember definitions and notations which have appeared long before. To the author's credit, there are occasional backward references by page number, but then, about half of these are frustratingly wrong. Finally, it would be nice to see a copy of the errata for this book. I hope this book appears in a 2nd edition where the level of its presentation is made much more consistent.

Book Description

In 1896, at the age of forty-seven, Sarah Orne Jewett published this classic novel of a female writer looking for seclusion and inspiration in the coastal town of Dunnet Landing, Maine. Returning to the women and men of small New England towns for the accompanying collection of short fiction, this remarkable volume weaves a colorful and moving tapestry of the grand complexities, joys, and beauties of life.

"The young student of American Literature in far distant years to come will take up this book and say 'a masterpiece.'"-- Willa Cather

Download Description

Sarah Orne Jewett's place in American letters was assured when this acclaimed collection of stories about her native state of Maine was first published in 1896. Her crisp style and skillful observation of people and places gives her work lasting appeal.

Customer Reviews:

Jewett is a jewel.......2007-07-05

I enjoyed this book because of Jewett's turn-of-the-century language and simply accurate descriptions of the people living in a fishing town. Although some may wish for a more detailed plot (or any plot at all), "Pointed Firs" is an escape to a seemingly more innocent time. The characters struggle with many of the same issues we do: relationships, war, disease, and death. However, their sense of community, faith, and attitudes toward the sea form and strengthen their relationships with each other. Jewett is worth a read, merely for the beautiful way she creates a picture with the English language.

could not get through . . . will try again later.......2007-06-20

The problem with this book is that because it was
written during a certain time period and because
it is considered "liteaand I could
not get through it. There was no plot, no action,
no point. Reading some of the other reviews on
here, maybe I'm wrong but for me, I need a book
that is engaging and paints a pictured that stirs
the imagination. The author goes on and on and on
and on with very descriptive details that add
wonderful surroundings but make it hard for readers
such as myself to fully invest themselves into the
story. I will try this book again in a few years time
but not right now.

Wonderful little book.......2007-05-25

This book is full of timeless short stories that can either be read as a whole story or separately.

Visit Coastal Maine 100 Years Ago.......2006-08-03

Jewett's Country of the Pointed Firs seemed like a good choice for reading while summering in Maine. Indeed her character who narrates the book is a woman author spending the summer in a small seaside Maine town.
Sara Orne Jewett gets a mention in American literature classes as a local color writer. This book demonstates her style with its descriptions of the Maine countryside, village life in the 1890s, and insight into the lives of island dwellers and retired fishermen and sea captains.
There's not much that would be considered a plot, just casual meetings with interesting characters in the area. To glimpse life in coastal Maine more than a centruy ago, this is the book for you.
I look forward to visiting the author's home in South Berwick. It's a national historic site.

A wonderful read..........2005-08-20

This is a beautifully written story. The author provides the reader with words that one can sink his teeth into. The characters are so well described that I would know them if they walked in my door. A beautiful escape from everyday life !!

Book Description

The Country of the Pointed Firs combines Jewett's classic novella and its four short sequels with nine of her best stories, including five unavailable in any other paperback edition. They illustrate the range of her literary style and exemplify her interest in the position of women in
nineteenth-century America. Terry Heller's introduction examines the work within the mainstream of American literature, and detailed annotation, as well as a list of the plant and herb lore to which Jewett makes reference, further illuminate these tales.

Life in Coastal Maine 100 Years Ago.......2006-08-03

They don't get much better than this.......2000-04-15

Jewett's relatively unacknowledged novel "The Country of the Pointed Firs" is a masterpiece. Tightly constructed, beautifully written, thematically rich; top-of-the-line in every category. It's slow going at first, but grows on you once you see what Jewett is examining -- the interconnectedness of all people, even those who live far apart and have seemingly nothing in common. The bookshelf of any bona fide literature fan -- esp. fans of American lit. -- should not be without this little masterpiece.
