Book Description

George Articulo covers all the material found in traditional partial differentiation equations and boundary value courses in this textbook. Its unique approach allows students to learn the mathematics first, then use Maple graphics capabilities to visualize both static and animated behavior of the solution. The book provides many example problems using commands that render two- or three-dimensional animated graphics. The author focuses on the natural union between partial differential equations and a powerful computational language such as Maple.

* Assumes no previous experience with Maple V; provides a quick review of the language with some simple commands needed to get started and a quick review of linear algebra
* Includes a review material in linear algebra and ordinary differential equations, and their contribution in solving partial differential equations
* Includes an early introduction to Sturm-Liouille boundary problems and generalized eigenfuction expansions
* Numerous example problems in both one and two spatial dimensions, in both the rectangular and cylindrical coordinate systems; an abundant array of exercises problems at the end of each chapter
* CD-ROM enclosed allows for rapid reader involvement, through interaction with real-time animation's of solutions of partial differential equations.

Book Description

One of the most memorable books to come out of the Vietnam War. General Risner's plane was shot down in 1965 on a bombing mission over North Vietnam. Interned in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton", Risner was subjected to brutal tortures and privations. The tactics that he used to survive were not those of a superman, but rather those of a man who knew his own limits and had the courage to face up to them.

What emerges is a story of faith in God and country, of heroism and humanity. This is a vital document for anyone seeking to come to grips with the actuality and legacy of this painful conflict.

Colonel Risner and his seven year imprisonment........2006-06-13

This book was originally written in 1973 and details the violations of the Geneva Convention by the North Vietnamese. Colonel Risner details how he first resisted the North Vietnamese and later signed statements after extreme torture. The North Vietnamese were very cruel to their captured POWs. It is a wonder why we didn't have protesters telling the world of the inhumane practices of the North Vietnamese government.

This is a nice read on how these American patriots resisted the efforts of the North Vietnamese to break their spirit. As Colonel Risner would say, you found God in prison and faith in the American system. It is amazing this man spent 7 and a half years with little food, lots of torture, and still maintained his faith in the American system. This is an inspirational read.

A Man of Great Dignity Who Never Lost the Common Touch.......2006-02-28

I had the privilege and honor of meeting and getting to know General Risner shortly after he was appointed as commander of
the 832nd Air Division at Cannon AFB, New Mexico, in 1973.
He was a humble and gracious gentleman of great dignity. I was
blessed to get to know him personally and to jointly procure a copy of the movie: In The Presence of Mine Enemies, for showing at the base chapel. On the day of my release from active duty I purchased his book and, it being a Saturday, visited him in his office, entering with his permission through his private entrance and he graciously signed the book for me with a personal message for future success. The book is a must read for anyone who considers themself an American, as all Americans should become aware of the sacrifices of people like General Risner in keeping us free. Sadly, I loaned the book to a friend
and never had it returned. But I will never forget General Risner's story, not the man himself. Knowing him was truly one of the best blessing I have experienced in my 54 years of life.
You must read this book!

"The real battlefronts were the capitals of the world and the streets of America.".......2006-02-25

I don't know how I missed this book when it came out in 1973.I lived in the United States from 1963 to 1974 and witnessed first hand the anti war movement that worked so hard to undermine America's efforts in Vietnam.It's often been said that America did not lose the war in Vietnam ,in fact they never even lost a major battle.The only loss that occurred was in the media and on the streets and demonstrations.The real result of the war was that the worldwide march of Communism was halted with Vietnam.
The story of the courage of these prisoners ,their love and loyalty to their country,their refusal to give in to their torturers combined with their faith in God and undying belief of liberty ,freedom and justice are proof that America is not only the world's greatest superpower but deserves to be.As long as people of the character we see in this book continue to come forward ,America ,and all it stands for,will continue to be challenged but will never be defeated or brought to submission.
This book may well be one of the greatest books to come out of the Vietnam War.I remember a movie that came out of WW11 called "The Purple Heart",I believed it starred Dana Andrews. It reminded me of the similar evil that took place and the way Japan treated their prisoners of war.
This book is particularly worth reading now because we see many of the same things at work in The War on Terror.
On page 163 where the "Delegations" were to interview the prisoners.The prisoners were told they would be asked,"How do you think the war should be settled?".They were told to reply,"The United States should should withdraw all troops from South Vietnam,dismantle all bases,and cease all aid to the puppet government of Thieu".
Sounds a lot familiar to what you hear the left wing saying about the War on Terror,doesn't it? Those immortal words,"Lest We Forget" should be kept in mind.
Throughout history,it the courage we have seen in men such as these prisoners of war,that gives us the freedoms we enjoy today,and hopefully in the future.
May God Bless America and the people who love and serve her.

Travis.......2006-01-13

As a member of the United States Air Force, I can say that this book is truly a story of honor and courage. I had the opportunity to meet General Risner before he passed away and he is a true hero. This book talks in great detail of the horrible things that many of the POWs went through in this awful conflict. After reading this book I realized how blessed I am. It is a honor to follow in the footsteps of such brave men. We need more heros and role models like General Risner. I would recommend this book to everyone.

An Unforgettable Memoir!!!.......2004-07-13

I couldn't put this excellent book down. From the first page I was hooked! The author is humble, courageous, and maintained his dignity through some gruesome torture and confinement in a North Vietnamese prison. Exciting and inspiring was his faith in God also which kept his spirit uplifted during his imprisonment. A must read for anyone interested in Vietnam and the harrowing aspects of that awful war.

Customer Reviews:

Moral Example.......2001-03-03

What Two Can Do is a pageturner. The author succeeds in making a biography read like a novel. This book deserves to be bought and read by hordes of people, even those who have never heard of Sam and Mandy Stellman, on the basis of the morality they exemplify and on the writing model in which their story is couched.

A Remarkable Story.......2000-12-29

To imagine that two pro-active people who effectively spent their lives championing social justice causes should be relatively unknown to the general population. Thank goodness this book has been written so we can all know how taking action can pay off in changes in laws, in habits and in the general climate for equality. A true inspiration. The book reads like a biography of two extraordinary people who could in fact be any one of us, and as a handbook for making change, for being responsible and accountable. It is an important document and I am going to see to it that several of my friends and family receive copies.

You CAN fight city hall after all!.......2000-06-13

So you CAN fight city hall after all. And win! How encouraging to read about two ordinary people who get extraordinary results by simply writing letters (to the right people), by creatively directing their anger, by using humor and persuasion--and by occasionally employing humiliation and the threat of a lawsuit--to convince those in power to clean up their act. Inspiring, empowering, and so interesting to read. There's hope for all of us.
