Ninety-nine percent of ordinary matter in the Universe is in the form of ionized fluids, or plasmas. The study of the magnetic properties of such electrically conducting fluids, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), has become a central theory in astrophysics, as well as in areas such as engineering and geophysics. This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to MHD and its recent applications, in nature and in laboratory plasmas; from the machinery of the Sun and galaxies, to the cooling of nuclear reactors and the geodynamo. It exposes advanced undergraduate and graduate students to both classical and modern concepts, making them aware of current research and the ever-widening scope of MHD. Rigorous derivations within the text, supplemented by over 100 illustrations and followed by exercises and worked solutions at the end of each chapter, provide an engaging and practical introduction to the subject and an accessible route into this wide-ranging field.

This extensively classroom-tested text takes an innovative approach to explaining software testing that defines it as the process of applying a few precise, general-purpose criteria to a structure or model of the software. The book incorporates cutting-edge developments, including techniques to test modern types of software such as OO, web applications, and embedded software. This revised second edition significantly expands coverage of the basics, thoroughly discussing test automaton frameworks, and it adds new, improved examples and numerous exercises. The theory of coverage criteria is carefully and cleanly explained to help students understand concepts before delving into practical applications, while extensive use of the JUnit test framework gives students practical experience in a test framework popular in the industry. Exercises, meanwhile, feature specifically tailored tools that allow students to check their own work. The book's website also offers an instructor's manual, Powe

Originally published in 1950 and written by the renowned mathematician, university professor, author and World War II codebreaker W. Gordon Welchman (1906–85), this textbook contains a treatment of projective geometry and provides a solid introduction to similar studies in space of more than two dimensions. The first three chapters analyse and establish the necessary foundations of the subject, whilst the remaining chapters are primarily concerned with the theory of conics, engaging with more complex topics such as metrical geometry, the application of matrix algebra, and invariants and covariants. The book also places much emphasis on the application of techniques rather than on the elementary principles of the subject and this is made easier by using algebraic foundations rather than purely geometrical axioms. This informative and insightful book will be of considerable value to scholars of mathematics as well as to anyone with an interest in the history of education.
