Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Course in American History, Vol. 2: The National Period Probably the majority of people, young and old, prefer to study history through the lives of the men who made it. For this reason A first course IN american history has been written in the form of biographies. Book One covers the periods of discovery and colonization, and Book Two gathers up the threads at the time when the colonists first began to band themselves together for common defense, and brings the history down to the present day. The books have been written primarily for use as the class text in intermediate grades, and care has been taken to cover quite thoroughly the more progressive elementary courses of history study. It is hoped that children will also find the stories interesting for supplementary reading, and for general reading at home. One of our best historians has said: In the teaching Of history the pupil's mind Should not be treated as a mere lifeless receptacle for facts; the main thing is to arouse his interest and stimulate his faculties to healthful exercise. If this book helps to inspire enthusiasm for patient effort and noble deeds and awakens interest in a further study of history, it will have served its purpose.

Download or read book A First Course in the Calculus of Variations written by Mark Kot and published by American Mathematical Society. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for a first course in the calculus of variations, at the senior or beginning graduate level. The reader will learn methods for finding functions that maximize or minimize integrals. The text lays out important necessary and sufficient conditions for extrema in historical order, and it illustrates these conditions with numerous worked-out examples from mechanics, optics, geometry, and other fields. The exposition starts with simple integrals containing a single independent variable, a single dependent variable, and a single derivative, subject to weak variations, but steadily moves on to more advanced topics, including multivariate problems, constrained extrema, homogeneous problems, problems with variable endpoints, broken extremals, strong variations, and sufficiency conditions. Numerous line drawings clarify the mathematics. Each chapter ends with recommended readings that introduce the student to the relevant scientific literature and with exercises that consolidate understanding.
