  are engineers good at math: Linear Algebra Done Right Sheldon Axler, 1997-07-18 This text for a second course in linear algebra, aimed at math majors and graduates, adopts a novel approach by banishing determinants to the end of the book and focusing on understanding the structure of linear operators on vector spaces. The author has taken unusual care to motivate concepts and to simplify proofs. For example, the book presents - without having defined determinants - a clean proof that every linear operator on a finite-dimensional complex vector space has an eigenvalue. The book starts by discussing vector spaces, linear independence, span, basics, and dimension. Students are introduced to inner-product spaces in the first half of the book and shortly thereafter to the finite- dimensional spectral theorem. A variety of interesting exercises in each chapter helps students understand and manipulate the objects of linear algebra. This second edition features new chapters on diagonal matrices, on linear functionals and adjoints, and on the spectral theorem; some sections, such as those on self-adjoint and normal operators, have been entirely rewritten; and hundreds of minor improvements have been made throughout the text.

  are engineers good at math: The Math Myth Andrew Hacker, 2010-05-25 A New York Times–bestselling author looks at mathematics education in America—when it’s worthwhile, and when it’s not. Why do we inflict a full menu of mathematics—algebra, geometry, trigonometry, even calculus—on all young Americans, regardless of their interests or aptitudes? While Andrew Hacker has been a professor of mathematics himself, and extols the glories of the subject, he also questions some widely held assumptions in this thought-provoking and practical-minded book. Does advanced math really broaden our minds? Is mastery of azimuths and asymptotes needed for success in most jobs? Should the entire Common Core syllabus be required of every student? Hacker worries that our nation’s current frenzied emphasis on STEM is diverting attention from other pursuits and even subverting the spirit of the country. Here, he shows how mandating math for everyone prevents other talents from being developed and acts as an irrational barrier to graduation and careers. He proposes alternatives, including teaching facility with figures, quantitative reasoning, and understanding statistics. Expanding upon the author’s viral New York Times op-ed, The Math Myth is sure to spark a heated and needed national conversation—not just about mathematics but about the kind of people and society we want to be. “Hacker’s accessible arguments offer plenty to think about and should serve as a clarion call to students, parents, and educators who decry the one-size-fits-all approach to schooling.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

  are engineers good at math: Hardcore Programming for Mechanical Engineers Angel Sola Orbaiceta, 2021-06-22 Hardcore Programming for Mechanical Engineers is for intermediate programmers who want to write good applications that solve tough engineering problems – from scratch. This book will teach you how to solve engineering problems with Python. The “hardcore” approach means that you will learn to get the correct results by coding everything from scratch. Forget relying on third-party software – there are no shortcuts on the path to proficiency. Instead, using familiar concepts from linear algebra, geometry and physics, you’ll write your own libraries, draw your own primitives, and build your own applications. Author Angel Sola covers core programming techniques mechanical engineers need to know, with a focus on high-quality code and automated unit testing for error-free implementations. After basic primers on Python and using the command line, you’ll quickly develop a geometry toolbox, filling it with lines and shapes for diagramming problems. As your understanding grows chapter-by-chapter, you’ll create vector graphics and animations for dynamic simulations; you’ll code algorithms that can do complex numerical computations; and you’ll put all of this knowledge together to build a complete structural analysis application that solves a 2D truss problem – similar to the software projects conducted by real-world mechanical engineers. You'll learn: • How to use geometric primitives, like points and polygons, and implement matrices • Best practices for clean code, including unit testing, encapsulation, and expressive names • Processes for drawing images to the screen and creating animations inside Tkinter’s Canvas widget • How to write programs that read from a file, parse the data, and produce vector images • Numerical methods for solving large systems of linear equations, like the Cholesky decomposition algorithm

The 1984 Grace Commission uncovered that the Department of Defense spent $640 for a toilet seat and $436 for a hammer. Twenty years later things weren't much better. In 2004, Congress spent a record-breaking $22.9 billion dollars of your money on 10,656 of their pork-barrel projects. The war on terror has a lot to do with the record $413 billion in deficit spending, but it's also the result of pork over the last 18 years the likes of: - $50 million for an indoor rain forest in Iowa - $102 million to study screwworms which were long ago eradicated from American soil - $273,000 to combat goth culture in Missouri - $2.2 million to renovate the North Pole (Lucky for Santa!) - $50,000 for a tattoo removal program in California - $1 million for ornamental fish research Funny in some instances and jaw-droppingly stupid and wasteful in others, The Pig Book proves one thing about Capitol Hill: pork is king!
