Materials Science: A Multimedia Approach to Windows
Materials Science A Multimedia Approach to Windows Author:Russ This CD-ROM sets a new standard in the application of multimedia and scientific mathematics programs to the study of materials science concepts. The CD disk features three powerful components which make it ideally suited for lab study or in-class demonstration/presentation: * Hypertext-driven, textbook-referenced presentations of important conc... more »epts. The CD-ROM contains a set of interactive tutorials that enable students to explore challenging concepts with an easy-to-use, point-and-click interface. Each concept presentation is referenced to six leading materials science texts, including The Science and Engineering of Materials, Third Edition, by Donald Askeland. * A rich collection of QuickTime animated visualizations that can be launched from within the hypertext environment, or played as stand-alone dynamic illustrations.These visualizations include animated views of molecular structures, animated 2D and 3D illustrations, digital film clips of lab experiments, simulations of physical principles, and live, narrated demonstrations. * An extensive library of materials science problems (many enhanced with illustrations) that can be launched from within the hypertext environment using either the Student Edition of Theorist 1.5 (for Macintosh) or the MathCAD Engine 5.0 (for Windows). These live, interactive sample problems can be quickly modified, recalculated, and annotated to create what-if, design-driven solutions to materials science problems. These programs train users to take a step-by-step approach to problem-solving by building a visual audit trail that they can annotate (to explain their approach to the problem) and then print out with professional-quality mathematical notation.« less
