Essentials for Deeper Understanding of Quantum Computing
by Ryo MaezonoThis textbook provides a self-contained basic tutorial to help readers confidently understand and comprehend the fundamental element of quantum computing, that is, the "quantum state (spin) represented by the Bloch sphere." The primary target audience includes readers from information technology or business fields who are entering the quantum computing domain without prior experience in physics courses. Additionally, the content is designed to be a valuable refresher for those already familiar with physics or those teaching quantum physics. This volume overcomes the difficulties of existing quantum computing tutorials by providing a solution that demonstrates how, given a semester's worth of time, readers with a high school level of mathematics can be introduced to the concept of spinors without any top-down explanations. Avoiding top-down explanations entirely, the book explains the necessary minimum mathematics and physics in a logically natural progression to help readers understand why we think in such ways. The focus is on understanding the interrelationships between theories—what knowledge is needed to understand what concepts. Everything extraneous to understanding the logical flow has been meticulously removed. The goal is to efficiently bring readers to a level where they can approach quantum computing without any background knowledge anxieties.

Essentials of Control Techniques and Theory
by John BillingsleyCarefully separating the essential from the ornamental, Essentials of Control Techniques and Theory presents the nuts and bolts for designing a successful controller. It discusses the theory required to support the art of designing a working controller as well as the various aspects to convince a client, employer, or examiner of your expertise.A Compelling Account of the Basics of Control TheoryControl solutions for practicing engineersUsing the author’s own Javascript On-Line Learning Interactive Environment for Simulation (Jollies), the text relies on computer-based graphical analysis methods, such as Nyquist, Nichols, root locus, and phase-plane, to illustrate how useful computer simulation can be for analyzing both linear and nonlinear systems. It explains step-by-step the design and modeling of various control systems, including discrete time systems and an inverted pendulum. Along with offering many web-based simulations, the book shows how mathematics, such as vectors, matrices, and the differential equations that govern state variables, can help us understand the concepts that underpin the controller’s effects. From frequency domain analysis to time-domain state-space representation, this book covers many aspects of classical and modern control theory. It presents important methods for designing and analyzing linear systems and controllers.
Essentials of Dynamics and Vibrations
by John BillingsleyDynamic objects move in mysterious ways. Their analysis is a difficult subject involving matrices, differential equations and the complex algebra of oscillatory systems. However, in this textbook, the author draws on his long experience of designing autopilots, robots for nuclear inspection and agricultural machine guidance to present the essentials with a light touch. The emphasis is on a deep understanding of the fundamentals rather than rote-learning of techniques. The inertia tensor is presented as a key to understanding motion ranging from boomerangs to gyroscopes. Chains of transformations unravel the motion of a robot arm. To help the reader visualise motion, ranging from unbalanced rotors to vibrating systems with multiple modes and damping, there are abundant simulation examples on a linked website. These will run in any web browser, while their simple code is on open view for modification and experimentation. They show that nonlinear systems present no problems, so that friction damping can be modelled with ease. A particular problem for mechanical engineers is that the vibration topics encroach on the territory of the electrical engineer. State variables open up control theory while the solution of differential equations with sinusoidal inputs is simplified by an understanding of sine-waves as complex exponentials. The linked web site has several areas of mathematics revision to help. A final chapter pokes fun at the misrepresentation of dynamics in cinema productions.
Essentials of Dynamics and Vibrations

Essentials of Excel, Excel VBA, SAS and Minitab for Statistical and Financial Analyses
by John Lee Cheng-Few Lee Jow-Ran Chang Tzu TaiThis introductory textbook for business statistics teaches statistical analysis and research methods via business case studies and financial data using Excel, MINITAB, and SAS. Every chapter in this textbook engages the reader with data of individual stock, stock indices, options, and futures. One studies and uses statistics to learn how to study, analyze, and understand a data set of particular interest. Some of the more popular statistical programs that have been developed to use statistical and computational methods to analyze data sets are SAS, SPSS, and MINITAB. Of those, we look at MINITAB and SAS in this textbook. One of the main reasons to use MINITAB is that it is the easiest to use among the popular statistical programs. We look at SAS because it is the leading statistical package used in industry. We also utilize the much less costly and ubiquitous Microsoft Excel to do statistical analysis, as the benefits of Excel have become widely recognized in the academic world and its analytical capabilities extend to about 90 percent of statistical analysis done in the business world. We demonstrate much of our statistical analysis using Excel and double check the analysis and outcomes using MINITAB and SAS - also helpful in some analytical methods not possible or practical to do in Excel.
