Students gain hands-on experience through hundreds of worked examples, self-test questions and homework problems. Each chapter includes a summary of the main results, definitions and formulae. Over 270 worked examples show how to put the tools into practice. Around 170 self-test questions in the footnotes and 300 end-of-section exercises give students an instant check of their understanding. More than 450 end-of-chapter problems allow students to put what they have just learned into practice. Hints and outline answers to the odd-numbered problems are given at the end of each chapter. Complete solutions to these problems can be found in the accompanying Student Solutions Manual. Fully-worked solutions to all problems, password-protected for instructors, are available at www.cambridge.org/foundation"-- UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1101/2010041510-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1101/2010041510-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1101/2010041510-t.html ER -
