Fourier Transforms
Fourier transform theory is of central importance in a vast range of applications in physical science, engineering and applied mathematics. Providing a concise introduction to the theory and practice of Fourier transforms, this book is invaluable to students of physics, electrical and electronic engineering and computer science. After a brief description of the basic ideas and theorems, the power of the technique is illustrated through applications in optics, spectroscopy, electronics and telecommunications. The rarely discussed but important field of multi-dimensional Fourier theory is covered, including a description of Computer Axial Tomography (CAT) scanning. The book concludes by discussing digital methods, with particular attention to the Fast Fourier Transform and its implementation. This new edition has been revised to include new and interesting material, such as convolution with a sinusoid, coherence, the Michelson stellar interferometer and the van Cittert–Zernike theorem, Babinet’s principle and dipole arrays.

WILLIAM LOWRIE
A Student’s Guide to Vectors and Tensors
The advent of accessible student computing packages has meant that geophysics students can now easily manipulate datasets and gain first-hand modeling experience – essential in developing an intuitive understanding of the physics of the Earth. Yet to gain a more in-depth understanding of the physical theory, and to be able to develop new models and solutions, it is necessary to be able to derive the relevant equations from first principles. This compact, handy book fills a gap left by most modern geophysics textbooks, which generally do not have space to derive all of the important formulas, showing the intermediate steps. This guide presents full derivations for the classical equations of gravitation, gravity, tides, earth rotation, heat, geomagnetism, and foundational seismology, illustrated with simple schematic diagrams. It supports students through the successive steps and explains the logical sequence of a derivation – facilitating self-study and helping students to tackle homework exercises and prepare for examinations.

Geophysical Equations
Adopting the same approach used in his highly popular A Student’s Guide to Maxwell’s Equations, Fleisch explains vectors and tensors in plain language. Written for undergraduate and beginning graduate students, the book provides a thorough grounding in vectors and vector calculus before transitioning through contra and covariant components to tensors and their applications. Matrices and their algebra are reviewed on the book’s supporting website, which also features interactive solutions to every problem in the text, where students can work through a series of hints or choose to see the entire solution at once. Audio podcasts give students the opportunity to hear important concepts in the book explained by the author.
FLEISCH
Vectors and tensors are among the most powerful problem-solving tools available, with applications ranging from mechanics and electromagnetics to general relativity. Understanding the nature and application of vectors and tensors is critically important to students of physics and engineering.

Weather 2e is a concise, affordable introductory textbook ideal for curious undergraduate students with no prerequisite knowledge of math or science. Over the course of 15 carefully structured chapters, it provides students with a foundational understanding of how the atmosphere works. Main concepts are illustrated through a running case study of a single mid-latitude cyclone, providing students with an opportunity to progressively develop their understanding of weather phenomena with a familiar example approached from multiple perspectives.
EARTH MATERIALS SECOND EDITION
Carefully organized around the actual tasks and workflows scientists and engineers undertake day to day, this textbook:
“The text has a highly logical topical layout, beginning with basic weather variables then extending into more complex processes to facilitate student comprehension. All pertinent topics are included relative to an introductory weather text, but the topics extend from the basic. I especially like the chapter on forecasting as most textbooks peripherally address the topic. The language, detail, explanations, level of information, figures, pictures, and end-of-chapter materials are all of high quality. Overall, a great textbook!”
Professor Richard W. Dixon, Texas State University
KLEIN AND PHILPOTTS
Python is one of the most popular programming languages, widely used for data analysis and modeling, and is fast becoming the leading choice for scientists and engineers. This new textbook introduces science and engineering students to programming with Python, written at a beginner’s pace, and using relevant examples from biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, and engineering.
“This textbook on atmospheric sciences is a great introduction for students without strong backgrounds in mathematics and physics. It explains a wealth of weather phenomena in concise, simple, easy-to-follow steps starting from first principles.”

“This second edition is a valuable refresh of an excellent introductory undergraduate text on atmospheric science. The book manages to explain complex topics in an engaging and accessible manner, including equations (with clear worked examples) where appropriate. The extensive real-world examples, including new visual analysis exercises, are a real strength. I am sure this will remain a popular text with students and instructors alike.”

This text is an excellent choice for a non-science majors class or even a first meteorology class for Earth System Science majors. The expanded Appendices and Advanced Topics Boxes allow the instructor to tailor the presentation to the class and provide the curious student with additional enrichment. Clear end-of-chapter summaries and the new review questions provide a level of engagement for students of many levels. The chapter-spanning case study is an excellent pedagogical tool that ties together many of the concepts presented in the text.”
