ASIN: 3540660992 |
Book Description
The advent of high-speed computers has made it possible for the first time to calculate values from models accurately and rapidly. Researchers and engineers thus have a crucial means of using numerical results to modify and adapt arguments and experiments along the way. Every facet of technical and industrial activity has been affected by these developments. The objective of the present work is to compile the mathematical knowledge required by researchers in mechanics, physics, engineering, chemistry and other branches of application of mathematics for the theoretical and numerical resolution of physical models on computers. Since the publication in 1924 of the "Methoden der mathematischen Physik" by Courant and Hilbert, there has been no other comprehensive and up-to-date publication presenting the mathematical tools needed in applications of mathematics in directly implementable form.Customer Reviews:

The Truth About Vietnam By Birdwell & Nolan.......2003-02-14
Birdwell At The .50.......2002-05-29
One of my most vivid memories of the war had been Birdwell on a burning tank firing a .50 caliber machine gun until it glowed in the night, and his silhouette carrying out the badly wounded. That memory is in the book (Chapter 19) and accurate to the number of RPG's fired.
The lifers, loafers, heros, and base camp warriors are there also, warts and all. Read Tennyson for the glory of the cavalry, read Birdwell for the real thing.
One Hundred Miles of Bad Road.......2001-04-24
A compelling account of Vietnam combat.......2000-07-01
A Cherokee warrior fought in Vietnam as a tank commander.......2000-05-10
For many of us who served in Vietnam,micro-managed by McNamara and similar desk commanders far from the action, Dwight Birdwell exposes the pre and post Tet Offensive for the crushing defeat the U.S. inflicted upon the North Vietnamese Army and their southern battering rams,the Viet Cong. Once the treacherous and fellow traveller U.S. media painted a false picture of American will and losses, "Bird" ( as he was known as by his fellow C Troop Armored Cavalrymen) leads you through the mire of leadership decline and enemy growth in III Corps, Cu Chi District,where he and his warrior band slugged it out night and day.
Cu Chi and its vast underground network "city" was the launch pad for the VC and NVA attack upon Saigon. Especially Tan Son Nhut Airport,where Dwight Birdwell won his first Silver Star atop his M48 tank,blazing away with the .50 cal. until out of ammunition,and then continuing while wounded with an M16. This Oklahoma Cherokee has the fighting blood of many generations of Cherokee warriors,but with incredible compassion and caring for the Vietnamese country people. They looked like and reminded him of some of the home folks around Bell,Oklahoma deep in the "Okie Ozarks" , his home.
Co-writer Keith W. Nolan with Mr. Birdwell is an accomplished Vietnam War author. Yet he failed to emphasize the impact of the Cu Chi District tunnel systems and warfare which allowed the VC and NVA to attack and disappear at will. Dwight Birdwell tried his own hand as a "tunnel rat" in one exercise only to return to his "Trac" or his tank while running the gauntlet of the MSR(Main Supply Route). Constant ambushes,mines and command detonated ordinance was a daily fact of life and death,while the enemy was always reported to "melt into the jungle". Not so. They went underground while our tanks and troops were treading or clanking away on top of them. Just as the Japanese were not on Iwo Jima,they were in it...the VC and NVA used primitive but spectacularly effective underground warfare tactics against "Bird's" 25th Division armored cav unit.
A Hundred Miles of Bad Road is a unique book by a good soldier who did his duty when America called. It went unspoken by Birdwell (or Nolan) but the reader is left to assume that the Vietnamese peddlars,whores with poncho ground "cloths" and dope dealers who would clamor around laagered tanks or APC's(armored personnel carriers) with their "wares" was just business as usual for people wracked by war,just trying to make a living. In fact, most of the locals "selling" the Yanks were spies,while prostitution and dope dealing were all part of the NVA and VC "quiet" assault against us. But we still traded with them,because SRTW (Sex Rules the World!)
Dwight Birdwell has high praise for his then Lt. Col.. Glenn K.Otis,later to retire as a 4 Star General Officer, as a great warrior leader who lead from the front and would not ask his men to do anything he wouldn't do. Real life fighting men are extolled by Birdwell: "Fighting" Frank Cuff, Gary D. Brewer, Jack Donelly, Bob Wolford,Mike Christie and many others. Normal American men molded together in battle,whose DNA held the strains of warriors reaching back in time through American and European history. How else can men do what they do to fight,defend and survive in battle? The intense training and American firepower (or technology) helps...but it comes down to "unit integrity" which Dwight Birdwell's team possessed. Until, of course, the KIA's, the WIA's, the rotations home,the replacements and the loss of will by the American people and our malingering politicians came to erode all aspects of the Vietnam War.
Mr. Birdwell really proves that America, never lost the war militarily. He exposes the rot which began during his extended tour,fomented by U.S. and South Vietnamese politicians and the Socialist/Communist intelligencia holding sway then,and now, on America's campuses. It was they who "lost" the War.
No Vietnam War library ,or class studying the War, should be without One Hundred Miles of Bad Road. Today Dwight Birdwell is an Oklahoma City sole practitioning attorney at law. His office is three blocks South of the new, national memorial to the 168 dead from the Murrah Building bombing. Dwight had seen this all before in 'Nam...an event which, sub rosa, still eats at most Vietnam veterans who saw combat action as Dwight Birdwell did. Read his book and let him tell it to you straight about our land -based war in Southeast Asia...from the view of a Tank Commander who survived a rolling coffin. Also, if you believe in premonitions or ESP...just count the number of life saving survival events "Bird" experienced...by mere seconds or millimeters !

Danger and Romance in Cooper's Corner.......2004-01-18
HER STOLEN PAST by Amanda Stevens is part of the COOPER'S CORNER line of books published by Harlequin books. This was my first taste of the series, and so far I am impressed.
In this novel, we are introduced to the town of Cooper's Corner and Clint Cooper, the co-owner of the bed and breakfast called Twin Oaks. He and his young son Keegan moved to this little town from the big city of New York after Clint's wife and Keegan's mother Kristin had passed away. They would have stayed in New York, except for the fact that Clint noticed Keegan was starting to get involved with gangs. Clint's sister Maureen convinced them to move from New York to the small town of Cooper's Corner, and now she and Clint co-owned the bed and breakfast.
Beth Young is the local librarian in town, as well as the pianist on certain nights at the Inn. Clint has always felt an attraction for her and Keegan figures this out. The young pre-teen decides to play matchmaker, and somehow sets up a scam to get his father to meet Beth for dinner, and soon the two of them are embarking on something that almost looks like the start of a relationship.
In the mean time, unbeknownst to the rest of the town, Beth was in a horrific car accident two years ago and was an amnesia victim. She never regained the memories of who she used to be. Beth doesn't even remember her own name. The name "Beth Young" was given to her by a cancer patient named Addie who shared Beth's room at the hospital during her recovery period. To honor her friend, Beth moved to Cooper's Corner and took over the name of Addie's deceased granddaughter Beth. Beth's memories go no further than that. The only part of her that she knows is from her past is her ability to play the piano, playing music that she had written in her past.
There is a mystery behind Beth's past, a mystery that is tied to the music she plays on the piano. She believes that someone is out there looking for her, wanting her dead, and that her car accident was no accident. She fears that it really was a murder attempt. Because of this belief, Beth is afraid to get close to Clint and Keegan, afraid to endanger their lives. But it's too late. Clint has fallen in love with Beth, and soon they both find that they are involved in something that may endanger their lives.
I recommend HER STOLEN PAST. It was well written, highly enjoyable, and I found the plot interesting. It was one of those books that I couldn't put down. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the COOPER'S CORNER series.
