  • Summary

    Everyday life gives us ample opportunity to pay attention to ethical questions, particularly those related to exploitation and suffering. For example, consider the issues related to the sourcing, selling, and preparation of our food. When I go to the grocery store, how aware am I of the living conditions of the chickens whose flesh I buy and the working conditions of those who processed the meat? How conscious should I be of the terms and conditions given to the farmer who owns the chicken plant by the conglomerate that buys the chicken and sells it on to the supermarket? Are they so burdened with debt that they harbor suicidal thoughts? Should I ask whether those who stack the shelves or work at the checkout lane are paid a living wage? Can I recycle the packaging the chicken comes in?

Joy with Java
  • Fundamentals of Object Oriented Programming

  • The Java programming language has been one of the most powerful tools available to computer programmers since its inception in 1995. It has also consistently changed since then, making it a vast and powerful resource for object-oriented programming today. This lucid textbook introduces the student not only to the nuances of object-oriented programming, but also to the many syntaxes and semantics of the modern Java language. Each concept of programming is explained, and then illustrated with small but effective ready-to-run programs. Important points to be noted have been emphasized and hints have been given at the end of each discussion so that programmers are careful to avoid common pitfalls. Finally, a number of practice problems taken from real world scenarios encourage the student to think in terms of problem solving, consolidating the knowledge gained.

Economics of Healthcare
  • A Brief Introduction

  • An approachable beginner's guide to health economics that brings the economist's way of viewing the world to bear on the fundamentals of the US healthcare system. The conversational writing style, with occasional doses of humour, allows students to see how applicable economic reasoning can be to unpacking some of the sector's thorniest issues, while accessible real-world examples teach the institutional details of healthcare and health insurance, as well as the economics that underpin the behaviour of key players in these markets. Many chapters are enhanced by 'Supplements' that offer how-to guides to tools commonly used by health economists, and economists more generally. They help form the basic 'economist's toolbox' for readers with no prior training in economics, and offer deeper dives into interesting related material. A test bank and lectures slides are available online for instructors, alongside additional resources and readings for students, taken from popular media and health care and policy journals.

    Introduction to Electrodynamics
    Published online:

    Print publication:
    02 November 2023, pp 57-112

  • Summary

    The fundamental problem electrodynamics hopes to solve is this (Fig. 2.1): We have some electric charges, q1,q2,q3,… (call them source charges); what force do they exert on another charge, Q (call it the test charge)? The positions of the source charges are given (as functions of time); the trajectory of the test particle is to be calculated.
