Wavelet Transforms: Introduction to Theory & Applications by Raghuveer M. Rao, Ajit S. Bopardikar
*Written by researchers Raghuveer M. Rao and Ajit S. Bopardikar, Wavelet Transforms provides engineers, scientists, and students with a practical understanding of wavelet transforms and their properties. The authors introduce the underlying theory of the transform by presenting a wide range of applications, such as signal processing, image processing, and communications. *This book identifies problems for which wavelet transform techniques are well-suited, shows how to implement wavelet transforms efficiently, and explains how to choose or design appropriate wavelets for a given application. In Chapter 1, basic linear filtering principles are utilized to introduce the reader to continuous wavelet transform. In Chapter 2, the basics of discrete wavelet transforms and multiresolution analysis are presented. Multiresolution analysis is then further explored in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 contains alternative wavelet representations, such as biorthogonal bases, wavelet packets, and multiresolution analysis of images. Chapter 5 provides a detailed treatment of the use of wavelet transform techniques in signal and image compression.In Chapter 6, applications to areas such as denoising, object isolation, and detection are presented. Chapter 7 addresses several more advanced topics, including: choice or design of wavelets for a given application, projection relations for the continuous wavelet transform, biorthogonal bandlimited wavelets, matched wavelet construction, self-similar signals, and linear scale-invariant systems. The supporting disk contains MATLAB routines that enable the reader to experiment with various algorithms and techniques presented in the book. *Practical in their approach, Rao and Bopardikar present the material in a visual and comprehensive manner, using geometric analogies and filtering concepts. The book is written in a language familiar to readers with a basic undergraduate engineering degree.

Special Functions (Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications) by George E. Andrews, Richard Askey, Ranjan Roy
Special functions, which include the trigonometric functions, have been used for centuries. Their role in the solution of differential equations was exploited by Newton and Leibniz, and the subject of special functions has been in continuous development ever since. In just the past thirty years several new special functions and applications have been discovered. This treatise presents an overview of the area of special functions, focusing primarily on the hypergeometric functions and the associated hypergeometric series. It includes both important historical results and recent developments and shows how these arise from several areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. Particular emphasis is placed on formulas that can be used in computation. The book begins with a thorough treatment of the gamma and beta functions that are essential to understanding hypergeometric functions. Later chapters discuss Bessel functions, orthogonal polynomials and transformations, the Selberg integral and its applications, spherical harmonics, q-series, partitions, and Bailey chains. This clear, authoritative work will be a lasting reference for students and researchers in number theory, algebra, combinatorics, differential equations, applied mathematics, mathematical computing, and mathematical physics.

The Fourth State of Matter: An Introduction to Plasma Science by Shalom Eliezer, Y Eliezer
Plasma physics may hold the key to a virtually inexhaustible future energy source through the control of thermonuclear reactions. The complexity of plasma physics makes it a difficult subject to write about in popular terms, but the authors of The Fourth State of Matter: An Introduction to Plasma Science, Second Edition treat plasma in a comprehensible way.
Combining factual substance with an easy-to-read and lucid presentation, the book describes the characteristics of plasma, its distribution in the universe, and how it is used by man. It explores plasma in industry and presents current and possible future applications. The book also details the history of plasma research and plasma technology. Retained from the first edition, rhyming verses add fun to the explanation of what can be complicated scientific concepts.
Accessible to anyone interested in plasma physics, this non-mathematical book is an excellent addition to a well-rounded science collection.

Introduction to solid state physics Book by Charles Kittel
Since the publication of the first edition over 50 years ago, Introduction to Solid State Physics has been the standard solid state physics text for physics students. The author's goal from the beginning has been to write a book that is accessible to undergraduates and consistently teachable. The emphasis in the book has always been on physics rather than formal mathematics. With each new edition, the author has attempted to add important new developments in the field without sacrificing the book's accessibility and teachability.
A very important chapter on nano-physics has been written by an active worker in the field. This field is the liveliest addition to solid state science during the past ten years
The text uses the simplifications made possible by the wide availability of computer technology. Searches using keywords on a search engine (such as Google) easily generate many fresh and useful references

Fundamentals of Plasma Physics Book by Paul Murray Bellan
This rigorous explanation of plasmas is relevant to diverse plasma applications such as controlled fusion, astrophysical plasmas, solar physics, magnetospheric plasmas, and plasma thrusters. More thorough than previous texts, it exploits new powerful mathematical techniques to develop deeper insights into plasma behavior. After developing the basic plasma equations from first principles, the book explores single particle motion with particular attention to adiabatic invariance. The author then examines types of plasma waves and the issue of Landau damping. Magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium and stability are tackled with emphasis on the topological concepts of magnetic helicity and self-organization. Advanced topics follow, including magnetic reconnection, nonlinear waves, and the Fokker-Planck treatment of collisions. The book concludes by discussing unconventional plasmas such as non-neutral and dusty plasmas. Written for beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates, this text emphasizes the fundamental principles that apply across many different contexts.

The Art of Electronics Book by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill
The book covers many areas of electronics design, from basic DC voltage, current, and resistance, to active filters and oscillators, to digital electronics, including microprocessors and digital bus interfacing. It also includes discussions of such often-neglected areas as high-frequency, high-speed design techniques and low-power applications.
The book includes many example circuits. In addition to having examples of good circuits, it also has examples of bad ideas, with discussions of what makes the good designs good and the bad ones bad. It can be described as a cross between a textbook and reference manual, though without the chapter-end questions and exercises which are often found in textbooks.

Fundamentals of Physics Book by David Halliday, Jearl Walker, and Robert Resnick
Fundamentals of Physics is a calculus-based physics textbook by David Halliday, Robert Resnick, and Jearl Walker. The textbook is currently in its tenth edition (published 2013) and is published in a five-volume set. The current version is a revised version of the original textbook Physics by Halliday and Resnick, first published in 1960. It is widely used in colleges as part of the undergraduate physics courses, and has been well known to science and engineering students for decades as "the gold standard" offreshman-level physics texts. In 2002, the American Physical Society named the work the most outstanding introductory physics text of the 20th century.
The most recent editions of the textbook have been enhanced by Walker to include Checkpoint questions. These are conceptual ranking-task questions that help the student before embarking on numerical calculations.
The textbook covers most of the basic topics in physics:
• Mechanics
• Waves
• Thermodynamics• Electromagnetism• Optics• Special RelativityThe extended edition also contains introductions to topics such as quantum mechanics, atomic theory, solid-state physics, nuclear physics and cosmology. A solutions manual and a study guide are also available.
