Updated for OS X 10.9 Mavericks, iOS 7, and Xcode 5Programming in Objective-C is a concise, carefully written tutorial on the basics of Objective-C and object-oriented programming for Apple's iOS and OS X platforms. The book makes no assumptions about prior experience with object-oriented programming languages or with the C language (which Objective-C is based upon). Because of this, both beginners and experienced programmers alike can use this book to quickly and effectively learn the fundamentals of Objective-C. Readers can also learn the concepts of object-oriented programming without having to first learn all of the intricacies of the underlying C programming language. This unique approach to learning, combined with many small program examples and exercises at the end of each chapter, makes Programming in Objective-C ideally suited for either classroom use or self-study. This edition has been fully updated to incorporate new Objective-C features and technologies introduced with Xcode 5, iOS 7, and Mac OS X Mavericks.“The best book on any programming language that I’ve ever read. If you want to learn Objective-C, buy it.”—Calvin Wolcott “An excellent resource for a new programmer who wants to learn Objective-C as their first programming language—a woefully underserved market.”—Pat Hughes

For courses in Unix Systems Programming, Unix System Administration, and as a supplemental text for courses in Advanced Networks and Systems Programming.This readable and comprehensive text clearly explains Unix programming and structure by addressing the solid fundamentals of Unix and providing different solutions to problems. All ideas and principles are introduced in the context of a practical problem, and excellent use is made of illustrations and listings in the text. Projects are solved by the development of complete programs, which are clearly commented on and integrated with explanations in the text.

For a one-year, graduate-level course in Partial Differential Equations. Designed to bridge the gap between introductory texts in partial differential equations and the current literature in research journals, this text introduces students to the basics of classical PDEs and to a wide variety of more modern methods-especially the use of functional analysis-which has characterized much of the recent development of PDEs. Throughout, the results are almost completely self-contained.

For a one-quarter/semester, sophomore-level transitional ("bridge") course that supplies background for students going from calculus to the more abstract, upper-division mathematics courses. Also appropriate as a supplement for junior-level courses such as abstract algebra or real analysis. Focused on "What Every Mathematician Needs to Know," this text provides material necessary for students to succeed in upper-division mathematics courses, and more importantly, the analytical tools necessary for thinking like a mathematician. It begins with a natural progression from elementary logic, methods of proof, and set theory, to relations and functions; then provides application examples, theorems, and student projects.

Intended for courses in Production, Planning and Control, or Inventory Management/Control. This exciting new text takes a concise, practical, survey approach. It surveys the fundamental principles of planning and control to give students the breadth of knowledge they need without excessive depth and detail. This excellent resource is written by an established authority on supply chain management and production and inventory control.

For arithmetic-based courses in Business Mathematics. Designed as a true teaching text, this book guides students through clear, detailed explanations of the principles and practices of business mathematics. Its flexible organization and presentation make it suitable for a variety of teaching situations-from a traditional classroom lecture to individually paced instruction. The Fifth Edition has been updated and improved presenting the latest business situations and techniques. Students are given the opportunity to participate more actively in their learning.

For courses in Political Ideologies, Comparative Politics, Survey of Political Theory, and Introduction to Political Science.A time-honored classic, this text provides thorough coverage of both theoretical and practical aspects of the major political and economic ideologies and value systems that shaped the twentieth century.

For any undergraduate/graduate-level course in Music Education. Unique in both content and approach, this text offers a single-volume authoritative comparison of the four most popular music education methods used in North America-Jacques-Dalcroze, Kodaly, Orff, and Comprehensive Musicianship. Its in-depth examination of the methods and underlying philosophies of each method-and its suggested lessons for each method at each grade level-will help students make educated curricular choices among methods.

For introductory and upper-level courses in Operational Amplifiers and Linear Integrated Circuits.Focusing on applications, this text develops students' ability to analyze, model, and predict the performance of operational amplifiers and related linear circuits, as well as design the various circuit functions to perform specified operations. It studies a few widely used and time-tested devices in detail, and builds upon basic principles to establish a foundation for understanding and adapting to new technology and developments.

Designed for one-semester undergraduate level courses in multivariable calculus. This text combines traditional mainstream calculus with the most flexible approach to new ideas and calculator/computer technology. It contains problem sets and a fresh conceptual emphasis flavoured by new technological possibilities. The work includes around 3000 conceptual problems and interesting applications, a lead for writing assignments or class discussion, and extensive computer-generated visuals.

For sophomore/junior level courses in Advanced C++ Programming offered in Computer Science departments. This text fills the need for a practical C++ topics book beyond the introductory level. No other text covers the topics needed to prepare students for production C++ programming. It streamlines the process of learning the C++ language, presenting material a simple step at a time, which allows the reader to digest each concept before moving on, and provides them with a solid foundation in C++.

For algebra-based courses in Business Math at the technical school, community college, or college level.This established worktext remains the most current, well-organized, and well-written business math book available. Incorporating computer spreadsheet exercises throughout, it emphasizes a logical and careful approach to solving the types of problems encountered in today's business world.
