Electric Machinery Fundamentals

Stephen J. Chapman

Electric Machinery Fundamentals presents the material in a topical format to reflect today's emerging technology. Following introductory chapters 1-3, AC material is presented first. However, because the book follows a modular approach, either AC or DC material can be studied first.

Fortran 90/95 for Scientists and Engineers

Stephen J. Chapman

This new text on Fortran programming is intended for both first year Engineering students and practicing engineers. A controlled math level ensures that freshmen can handle almost all of the examples. Good programming practice summaries and Fortran statement summaries are found at the end of each chapter and are designed to make the book a handy reference for people actually working in the field.

MATLAB Programming for Engineers

Stephen J. Chapman

The first text of its kind, Stephen Chapman's best selling book on MATLAB has now been updated to reflect MATLAB 6.0. The first edition has been highly successful in engineering schools where introductory programming is taught using MATLAB rather than a traditional programming language. Although C, C++, and Java suit the needs of computer science students well, most engineering students will not be programmers by trade. Engineering students use computer tools to perform complex tasks such as scientific calculations, data analysis, simulations, and visualization: all skills students will use again in upper level classes. MATLAB provides several built in toolkits to help students accomplish these tasks, as well as an integrated devlopment environment. This book is distinctly unique from other MATLAB books in two ways. First, it is an introduction to MATLAB as a technical programming language rather than an introduction to the MATLAB environment. The author includes numerous pedagogical tools such as special boxes that highlight good programming practices, boxes that detail common pitfalls in MATLAB programming, and numerous programming exercises and examples. The book also makes wide use of MATLAB's predefined functions that provide tested solutions and time saved in writing subroutines or functions. Second, the book teaches students how to write clean, efficient, and documented programs using sound problem solving techniques. Top-down programming methodology is introduced to the students in Ch. 3 and is used consistently thoughout the rest of the book. This encourages students to think about the proper design of a program before beginning to code.

Java for Engineers and Scientists

Stephen J. Chapman

Emphasizes the importance of going through a detailed design process before any code is written, using a top-down design technique to break the program up into logical portions. Reviews Java applications to illustrate all of the basic principles introduced in the book. Offers several packages containing classes of special importance to scientists and engineers.

Electric Machinery and Power System Fundamentals

Stephen J. Chapman

Stephen J. Chapman is a well-known electric machinery author. In "Introduction to Electric Machinery and Power Systems" Chapman has combined his vast knowledge of electrical machinery with the subject of power systems.

This textbook has been written to teach machinery and power system principles at a level suitable to the one-semester or two-quarter junior-level survey course found in many Electrical Engineering programs. In these types of courses, the insufficient time designated makes it difficult to cover all necessary material in these fields. With this in mind, an effort has been made to simplify the material as much as possible to allow the teaching of the these principles without getting weighed down by detail. The textbook's structure is consistent with the way engineers work in the field. One example of that is it stresses using necessary calculations to solve problems rather than spending an extended amount of time explaining how to actually perform the calculations. References are then supplied for students who wish to learn to do the calculations.
