- Calculus-Based Physics is a two-volume introductory physics textbook complete with ancillary materials. It can be used as is or edited/modified by users. Ancillary materials include physics problems with screen-capture video solutions, Physics question slides, and on-line quizzes.
- Fundamentals of Compressible Flow: This book is intended for undergraduate students in Mechanical, Chemical, and Aeronautical Engineering. The book contains chapters on Isentropic Flow (nozzle flow), Isothermal Nozzle, Shock wave and Oblique shocks, and Prandtl-Meyer flow as well chapters on Isothermal Flow, Fanno Flow, and Rayleigh Flow.
- A kinetics of macroscopic particles in open heterogeneous
systems: Classic kinetics (e.g. in chemistry) is based on the assumption that reactions take place in small vessels ... is often not justified. This book formulates a basis for a kinetics where the “mixing condition” is relaxed: the condition is qualitatively deleted – not merely neutralized by use of various approximations. - Nanotechnology: The Revolution An examination of the benefits and potential dangers of the new technology revolution.
- Adaptive Control: Stability, Convergence, and Robustness - The book is out-of-print. A scanned version (PDF format) may be downloaded for personal use.
- Molecular Cell Biology - A really nice book with a weird interface where you're required to type in a keyword search to access the chapters. Apparently there's no way to read it chapter by chapter.
- The Temple of Quantum Computing - In quantum computers we exploit quantum effects to compute in ways that are faster or more efficient than, or even impossible, on conventional computers. Quantum computers use a specific physical implementation to gain a computational advantage over conventional computers. Properties called superposition and entanglement may, in some cases, allow an exponential amount of parallelism. Also, special purpose machines like quantum cryptographic devices use entanglement and other peculiarities like quantum uncertainty.
- Universal algebra for computer science - all the algebra computer scientists will need
- Lessons in Electric Circuits - 6 volumes, the last one published in January 2004, for students in Electrical Engineering. Scroll down for complete downloads of all the books in a single tar.gz file.
- Structure and interpretation of classical mechanics - There has been a remarkable revival of interest in classical mechanics in recent years. We now know that there is much more to classical mechanics than previously suspected. The behavior of classical systems is surprisingly rich; derivation of the equations of motion, the focus of traditional presentations of mechanics, is just the beginning. Classical systems display a complicated array of phenomena such as nonlinear resonances, chaotic behavior, and transitions to chaos.
- How language works: the cognitive science of linguistics - Students studying linguistics for the first time often have misconceptions about what it is about and what it can offer them. They may think that linguists are authorities on what is correct and what is incorrect in a given language. But linguistics is the science of language; it treats language and linguistic behavior as phenomena to be studied scientifically. Linguists want to figure out how language works. They are no more in the business of making value judgments about people's language than geologists are in the business of making value judgments about the behavior of the earth.
- Modern Signal Processing - Signal processing is a ubiquitous part of modern technology. Its mathematical basis and many areas of application are the subject of this book, based on a series of graduate-level lectures held at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. Emphasis is on current challenges, new techniques adapted to new technologies, and certain recent advances in algorithms and theory. The book covers two main areas: computational harmonic analysis, envisioned as a technology for efficiently analyzing real data using inherent symmetries; and the challenges inherent in the acquisition, processing and analysis of images and sensing data in general - ranging from sonar on a submarine to a neuroscientist's fMRI study.
- Model Theory, Algebra, and Geometry - Model theory is a branch of mathematical logic that has found applications in several areas of algebra and geometry. It provides a unifying framework for the understanding of old results and more recently has led to significant new results, such as a proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for function fields in positive characteristic. Perhaps surprisingly, it is sometimes the most abstract aspects of model theory that are relevant to these applications.
- Comparison Geometry - Comparison Geometry asks: What can we say about a Riemannian manifold if we know a (lower or upper) bound for its curvature, and perhaps something about its topology? Powerful results that allow the exploration of this question were first obtained in the 1950s by Rauch, Alexandrov, Toponogov, and Bishop, with some ideas going back to Hopf, Morse, Schoenberg, Myers, and Synge in the 1930s.
- Mathematical Tools for Physics - This text is in PDF format, and is my attempt to provide a less expensive alternative to some of the printed texts currently available for this course. If you find any mistakes or any parts that are unclear or any topics that you think I should not have omitted, please tell me. I intend this for the undergraduate level, providing a one-semester bridge between some of the introductory math courses and the physics courses in which we expect to use the mathematics. This is the course typically called Mathematical Methods in Physics at many universities.
- The Chaos Hypertextbook - Mathematics in the age of computers
- Immunology Overview - bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology, infectious diseases and lots of fun stuff if you're a biology or medical major
- A Radically Modern Approach to Introductory Physics - This text has developed out of an alternate beginning physics course at New Mexico Tech designed for those students with a strong interest in physics. The course includes students intending to major in physics, but is not limited to them. The idea for a "radically modern" course arose out of frustration with the standard two-semester treatment. It is basically impossible to incorporate a significant amount of "modern physics" (meaning post-19th century!) in that format. Furthermore, the standard course would seem to be specifically designed to discourage any but the most intrepid students from continuing their studies in this area - students don't go into physics to learn about balls rolling down inclined planes - they are (rightly) interested in quarks and black holes and quantum computing, and at this stage they are largely unable to make the connection between such mundane topics and the exciting things that they have read about in popular books and magazines. It would, of course, be easy to pander to students - teach them superficially about the things they find interesting, while skipping the "hard stuff". However, I am convinced that they would ultimately find such an approach as unsatisfying as would the educated physicist.
- The Unknowable - Having published four books on this subject, why a fifth?! Because there's something new: I compare and contrast Godel's, Turing's and my work in a very simple and straight-forward manner using LISP.
- Exploring randomness - I really want you to follow my example and hike off into the wilderness and explore AIT on your own! You can stay on the trails that I've blazed and explore the well-known part of AIT, or you can go off on your own and become a fellow researcher, a colleague of mine! One way or another, the goal of this book is to make you into a participant, not a passive observer of AIT. In other words, it's too easy to just listen to a recording of AIT, that's not the way to learn music. I'd like you to learn to play it on an instrument yourself, or, better still, to even become a composer!
- Introduction to packet radio - This series of eighteen articles was originally written in 1988 to appear in Nuts & Volts, the newsletter of the San Francisco Amateur Radio Club. The series has been widely distributed since then, with revisions issued in 1991, 1993, and 1995. Occasional revisions were made to this version on the web thereafter, in the late 1990s. The author is no longer active in packet radio and is unable to provide up to date information on packet radio; however he has left this material on the Internet for access by those who might find it helpful.
- Newtonian Physics - not a programming or computer science book, but considering how many computer science majors have to take physics sooner or later in their life, this is a good place to start. A free Physics textbook suitable for introductory college Physics course.
- Fundamentals of Die Casting - pdf file:Technologies for die casting professionals: Technologies developed in recent years are described in this book. Errors of the old models and the violations of physical laws are shown. Examples: The ``common'' \pQtwo{} diagram violates many physical laws, such as the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The ``common'' \pQtwo{} diagram produces trends that don't reflect reality.
- A problem course in Mathematical Logic - A Problem Course in Mathematical Logic is intended to serve as the text for an introduction to mathematical logic for undergraduates with some mathematical sophistication. It supplies definitions, statements of results, and problems, along with some explanations, examples, and hints. The idea is for the students, individually or in groups, to learn the material by solving the problems and proving the results for themselves. The book should do as the text for a course taught using the modified Moore-method. The material and its presentation are pretty stripped-down and it will probably be desirable for the instructor to supply further hints from time to time or to let the students consult other sources. Various concepts and and topics that are often covered in introductory mathematical logic or computability courses are given very short shrift or omitted entirely, among them normal forms, definability, and model theory.
- A Heat Transfer Textbook - We are placing a mechanical engineering textbook into an electronic format for worldwide, no-charge distribution. The aim of this effort is to explore the possibilities of placing textbooks online -- effectively giving them away. Two potential benefits should accrue from doing this. First, in electronic format, textbooks can be continually corrected and updated, without the delays inherent in printed books (second and later editions are typically published on a five-year cycle). Second, free textbooks hold the potential for fundamentally altering the economics of higher education, particularly in those environments where money is scarce.
- Stephen Wolfram - New Kind of Science - When Stephen Wolfram of Mathematica fame self-published A New Kind of Science in 2002, he raised the suspicions of many in scientific communities that he was taking advantage of a lot of other people's work for his sole financial gain and that he was going against the open nature of academia by using restrictive copyright. Yesterday, Wolfram and company released the entire contents of NKS for free on the Web (short registration required). Perhaps Wolfram is giving back to the scientific community; perhaps it is simply clever marketing for a framework that is beginning to gain momentum. For any matter, the entire encyclopedic volume is online, and this appears to be a positive step for scientific writing.
- Cheap Complex Devices - Computers can play chess as well as any grandmaster. They can diagnose cancer as well as any oncologist, find oil as well as any seismologist. But can they do that most human of all activities: can they tell a story? Read Cheap Complex Devices and find out. This volume, edited by John Compton Sundman, (an erstwhile technical writer whose out-of-print manuals command large sums at online auctions, now a recluse), contains the two winning entries of the novel-writing contest sponsored by the Society for Analytical Engines (SAE). The introduction to Cheap Complex Devices, written by the SAE Contest Committee, contains the history of the contest and explains the criteria by which the entries were judged.
- The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing - available in PDF format. Excellent book to start with digital signal processing, by the way.
- Computer Aids for VLSI Design - HTML book with nice table of contents.
- Neural Nets: A Neural Network is an interconnected assembly of simple processing elements, units or nodes, whose functionality is loosely based on the animal neuron. The processing ability of the network is stored in the inter-unit connection strengths, or weights, obtained by a process of adaptation to, or learning from, a set of training patterns. In order to see how very different this is from the processing done by conventional computers it is worth examining the underlying principles that lie at the heart of all such machines.
- Other Maths books for free download Most college mathematics textbooks attempt to be all things to all people and, as a result, are much too big and expensive. This perhaps made some sense when these books were rather expensive to produce and distribute--but this time has passed.

High Performance Healthcare: Using the Power of Relationships to Achieve Quality, Efficiency and Resilience
Jody Hoffer Gittell "High Performance Healthcare: Using the Power of Relationships to Achieve Quality, Efficiency and Resilience"
McGraw-Hill | English | 2009-06-22 | ISBN: 0071621768 | 288 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB
In her groundbreaking book The Southwest Airlines Way, Jody Hoffer Gittell revealed the management secrets of the company Fortune magazine called “the most successful airline in history.” Now, the bestselling business author explains how to apply those same principles in one of our nation’s largest, most important, and increasingly complex industries.
High Performance Healthcare explains the critical concept of “relational coordination”—coordinating work through shared goals, shared knowledge, and mutual respect. Because of the way healthcare is organized, weak links exist throughout the chain of communication. Gittell clearly demonstrates that relational coordination strengthens those weak links, enabling providers to deliver high quality, efficient care to their patients. Using Gittell’s innovative management methods, you will improve quality, maximize efficiency, and compete more effectively.
High Performance Healthcare walks you step by step through the process of:
• Identifying weak areas of relational coordination within your organization
• Transforming work practices that are creating barriers to relational coordination
• Building a high performance work system to foster consistent relational coordination across all disciplines
The book includes case studies illustrating how some healthcare organizations are already transforming themselves using Gittell’s proven tools. It concludes by identifying industry-level obstacles to high performance healthcare and showing how individual organizations and their leaders can support sweeping change at the highest levels.
Policy changes and increased access to care will not alone answer the healthcare industry’s problems. Timely, accurate, problem-solving communication that crosses all organizational boundaries is a powerful response to business as usual. High Performance Healthcare explains exactly how to achieve this crucial dynamic, providing a long-awaited cure to an industry in crisis.
