Mastering linear algebra [videorecording] : an introduction with applications / by Su, Francis Edward,lecturer.; Teaching Company,production company.(CARDINAL)349444;
Course guidebook includes bibliographical references.Lecturer: Professor Francis Su, Harvey Mudd College.Linear algebra may be the most accessible of all routes into higher mathematics. It requires little more than a foundation in algebra and geometry, yet it supplies powerful tools for solving problems in subjects as diverse as computer science and chemistry, business and biology, engineering and education, and physics and psychology, to name just a few. It is also the gateway to almost any advanced math course, such as calculus, abstract algebra, and number theory. Mastering Linear Algebra: An Introduction with Applications is the ideal starting point, surveying the traditional topics of a first-semester college course in linear algebra in 24 half-hour lectures taught by award-winning Professor Francis Su of Harvey Mudd College. Focusing on a wide range of interesting applications, Professor Su works through problems step by step, covering vectors and vector spaces, dot products and cross products, matrix operations, linear transformations, systems of linear equations, bases, determinants, eigenvectors, and much more. He illustrates how problems can be envisioned in both geometric and algebraic terms, with the geometric picture feeding intuition and the algebraic tools showing the way to a solution. Applications covered include computer graphics, image compression, speech recognition, recommender systems, error detection, satellite navigation, and even quantum mechanics. A background in algebra and analytic geometry is recommended. Previous exposure to calculus is useful, but not required.

Building Charleston : town and society in the eighteenth-century British Atlantic world / by Hart, Emma,1972-(CARDINAL)841327;
Includes bibliographical references and index."To plant in towns" : Charles Towne at the Founding of Carolina -- "A "oating market" : Commercial Growth, Urban Growth -- "Stupendous works" : Building Urban Dynamism into the Low Country -- Urban Households, Economic Opportunity, and Social Structure -- Criminal Pleasures and Charitable Deeds : Town and Culture -- "A very essential service to this community" : the Politics of the Town -- Tabular Appendix."Charleston, South Carolina, was the largest city in the American South in the colonial era. From 1700 to 1775 its growth rate was exceeded in the New World only by that of Philadelphia. The first comprehensive study of this crucial colonial center, Building Charleston charts the rise of one of early America's great cities, revealing its importance to the evolution of both South Carolina and the British Atlantic world during the eighteenth century. In many of the Southern colonies, plantation agriculture was the sole source of prosperity, shaping the destiny of nearly all inhabitants, both free and enslaved. The insistence of South Carolina's founders on the creation of towns, however, meant that this colony, unlike its counterparts, was also shaped by the imperatives of urban society. In this respect South Carolina followed developments in the rest of the eighteenth-century British Atlantic world, where towns were growing rapidly in size and influence. At the vanguard of change, burgeoning urban spaces across the British Atlantic ushered in industrial development, consumerism, social restructuring, and a new era in political life. Charleston proved no less an engine of change for the colonial lowcountry, promoting early industrialization and forging an ambitious middle class, a consumer society, and a vigorous political scene. Bringing these previously neglected aspects of early South Carolinian society to our attention, Emma Hart challenges the popular image of the prerevolutionary South as a society completely shaped by staple agriculture. Moreover, Building Charleston places the colonial American town, for the first time, at the very heart of a transatlantic process of urban development"--
