Peter I. Kattan Libri

Focusing on finite element analysis, this book utilizes MATLAB as a powerful matrix calculator to solve complex problems. It emphasizes the step-by-step process of the finite element method rather than providing pre-made MATLAB programs. Readers can expect detailed solutions to problems, with a complete solutions manual included on the accompanying CD-ROM. For those preferring quick references, a brief list of answers is also provided at the book's end. The author expresses gratitude to family and colleagues for their support in the book's development.

Focusing on accessibility, this concise guide compiles 350 essential mathematical formulas and equations in just 50 pages, catering specifically to students and researchers. By distilling key concepts from extensive sources, the author presents only the most fundamental topics, including geometric shapes, various functions, the quadratic equation, and series. This resource serves as a practical reference for those in mathematics, physics, engineering, and related fields, streamlining the study of crucial mathematical principles.

The handwritten notes provide a comprehensive overview of the Design Sessions for the Concrete Design I course, focusing on key principles and techniques essential for understanding concrete structures. They cover various design methodologies, material properties, and practical applications, serving as a valuable resource for students and professionals alike. The notes aim to enhance learning and facilitate a deeper grasp of concrete design concepts through detailed explanations and examples.

Handwritten notes from Dr. Peter Kattan's Structural Analysis II course at Applied Science University (1996-1998) provide a comprehensive resource for students studying indeterminate structures. Based on Alexander Chajes' out-of-print textbook, these notes compile essential concepts and insights in one volume, making them a valuable tool for learners. The author aims to make this material accessible globally while also seeking to revive the Chajes book. A separate volume exists for the first course on structural analysis, complementing this resource.

The collection features seven original articles that explore diverse topics in science and mathematics. Each article addresses significant concepts, including the ratio of surface area to volume in nanotechnology, chaos theory, and various mathematical applications using MATLAB, such as solving equations, differential equations, Fibonacci numbers, the golden ratio, and regression analysis. Compiling these works into a single volume aims to provide readers with valuable insights and a comprehensive understanding of these subjects.

Geared towards high school students, this book introduces MATLAB alongside Fibonacci numbers in a clear and accessible manner. It is divided into two parts: the first reviews MATLAB basics, while the second explores Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Ratio. Key topics include symbolic computing, equation solving, and graphing in MATLAB, as well as various Fibonacci sequences and properties of the Golden Ratio. The author, an experienced MATLAB user, provides practical M-files to compute different Fibonacci sequences, enhancing the learning experience.

Exploring the nature of time, this children's book presents a unique blend of facts and musings tailored for young readers. Covering a wide range of topics, it introduces concepts such as hours, psychological time, and even time travel, while also addressing more complex ideas like parallel timelines and the nature of reality. Although some sections may challenge young minds, the book aims to inspire curiosity and hope about the mysteries of time, encouraging children to think deeply about their existence and the universe.

Designed for beginners, this guide introduces high school students to MATLAB through clear and accessible explanations. It covers essential topics such as arithmetic operations, variables, functions, complex numbers, vectors, matrices, programming, graphing, equation solving, and an introduction to calculus. The book emphasizes the MATLAB Symbolic Math Toolbox and includes over 230 practice exercises with detailed solutions. The author's extensive experience with MATLAB enhances the learning experience, making it an ideal resource for students.

Exploring the essence of time, this anthology features 168 mesmerizing poems that capture fleeting moments in the eternal dance of existence. Each piece reflects on the profound impact of time, revealing its elusive nature and how it shapes our reality. "Corridors of Time" invites readers to contemplate the mysteries of life through the lens of verse, making it a captivating journey into the depths of human experience.

Handwritten notes from the Structural Analysis I course, taught by Dr. Peter Kattan at Applied Science University from 1996 to 1998, compile essential information for students studying determinate structures. Based on Alexander Chajes' out-of-print textbook, these notes provide a valuable resource in a single volume, aiming to assist students globally. The author also expresses a desire to revive the Chajes book, with a follow-up available for indeterminate structures, creating a comprehensive learning experience in structural analysis.
