  • This student friendly and self-explanatory textbook attempts to help readers, engineering students in India, grasp the basic concepts of engineering drawing clearly and easily. Care has been taken to include topics that mesh well with the syllabi of most universities, colleges and polytechnic institutes in India. Important topics, such as projection of solids, auxiliary projections, section of solids, isometric projections, orthographic projections and projection of planes, have been discussed comprehensively. Heavy emphasis has also been put on the actual figures described in the text, both from the first angle and third angle projection methods. A chapter on computer graphics further integrates these concepts with modern manual computer aided design. Finally, hundreds of solved examples, practice problems and objective-type questions with answers have been added to ensure the learning objectives of each chapter have been achieved.

  • Galois Theory, the theory of polynomial equations and their solutions, is one of the most fascinating and beautiful subjects of pure mathematics. Using group theory and field theory, it provides a complete answer to the problem of the solubility of polynomial equations by radicals: that is, determining when and how a polynomial equation can be solved by repeatedly extracting roots using elementary algebraic operations. This textbook contains a fully detailed account of Galois Theory and the algebra that it needs and is suitable both for those following a course of lectures and the independent reader (who is assumed to have no previous knowledge of Galois Theory). The second edition has been significantly revised and re-ordered; the first part develops the basic algebra that is needed, and the second a comprehensive account of Galois Theory. There are applications to ruler-and- compass constructions, and to the solution of classical mathematical problems of ancient times. There are new exercises throughout, and carefully-selected examples will help the reader develop a clear understanding of the mathematical theory.

The Cambridge Greek Lexicon

  • The Cambridge Greek Lexicon is based upon principles differing from those of existing Greek lexica. Entries are organised according to meaning, with a view to showing the developing senses of words and the relationships between those senses. Other contextual and explanatory information, all expressed in contemporary English, is included, such as the typical circumstances in which a word may be used, thus giving fresh insights into aspects of Greek language and culture. The editors have systematically re-examined the source material (including that which has been discovered since the end of the nineteenth century) and have made use of the most recent textual and philological scholarship. The Lexicon, which has been twenty years in the making, is written by an editorial team based in the Faculty of Classics in Cambridge, consisting of Professor James Diggle (Editor-in-Chief), Dr Bruce Fraser, Dr Patrick James, Dr Oliver Simkin, Dr Anne Thompson, and Mr Simon Westripp.

Singularities, Bifurcations and Catastrophes

  • Suitable for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers, this self-contained textbook provides an introduction to the mathematics lying at the foundations of bifurcation theory. The theory is built up gradually, beginning with the well-developed approach to singularity theory through right-equivalence. The text proceeds with contact equivalence of map-germs and finally presents the path formulation of bifurcation theory. This formulation, developed partly by the author, is more general and more flexible than the original one dating from the 1980s. A series of appendices discuss standard background material, such as calculus of several variables, existence and uniqueness theorems for ODEs, and some basic material on rings and modules. Based on the author's own teaching experience, the book contains numerous examples and illustrations. The wealth of end-of-chapter problems develop and reinforce understanding of the key ideas and techniques: solutions to a selection are provided.

Early Medieval Britain, c. 500–1000

  • Early medieval Britain saw the birth of England, Scotland and of the Welsh kingdoms. Naismith's introductory textbook explores the period between the end of Roman rule and the eve of the Norman Conquest, blending an engaging narrative with clear explanations of key themes and sources. Using extensive illustrations, maps and selections from primary sources, students will examine the island as a collective entity, comparing political histories and institutions as well as societies, beliefs and economies. Each chapter foregrounds questions of identity and the meaning of 'Britain' in this period, encouraging interrogation and contextualisation of sources within the framework of the latest debates and problems. Featuring online resources including timelines, a glossary, end-of-chapter questions and suggestions for further reading, students can drive their own understanding of how the polities and societies of early medieval Britain fitted together and into the wider world, and firmly grasp the formative stages of British history.

  • Summary

    This first chapter begins with the reader, the early childhood educator/teacher. It poses the questions: Why have you chosen early childhood education? What do you bring to the profession? In considering these questions, you will reflect upon your current beliefs about teaching as inquiry and teaching as relationship, and consider diverse ideas, knowledge and ways of teaching and learning that shape your current and continuously evolving identity as an early childhood teacher. Research has demonstrated that reflecting upon and changing one’s beliefs and ways of teaching is a challenging and complex process of ongoing self-improvement. It is a critical requirement of the profession to be engaged in continuing reflection and improvement of the self.

  • Summary

    This chapter introduces the reader to learning environments in early childhood settings. It explores different aspects of learning environments, including the physical environment, design considerations, risky play, resources and materials, and fostering responsibility for the environment. In doing so, it explores the notion that what an early childhood teacher does in the environment is a mode of scholarship. The scholarship of teaching in early childhood education and care involves systematic inquiry into children’s learning to inform educational practice. The teacher makes decisions about the construction of the learning environment – that is, the enactment of curriculum grounded in children’s learning interests – within the context of a socially just early learning environment. Reflective practice encourages us to inquire why the learning environment is constructed in the way it is, and what the environment’s construction says about what is expected to happen in that space and place. Your own identity – your values, motivations, roles and definitions – will influence your actions or the ways in which you inhabit places, and is an important starting point for inquiring about the early learning environment you intend to co-create with young children.

  • Summary

    This chapter positions the early childhood teacher as learning alongside and with children in an early learning environment. The reader will be guided to examine their own perspectives about plural childhoods and potential implications for practice. Contemporary understandings of children as inquirers will be illuminated, providing the reader with strong theoretical underpinnings of how children learn. The reader will explore how their images of childhood and the children they teach enable possibilities for understanding children more fully and encourage the active co-construction of their own learning inquiries with their peers and teachers.
