Sommario/riassunto

"A Guide to Elementary Number Theory is a 140-page exposition of the topics considered in a first course in number theory. It is intended for those who may have seen the material before but have half-forgotten it, and also for those who may have misspent their youth by not having a course in number theory and who want to see what it is about without having to wade through traditional texts, some of which approach 500



pages in length. It will be especially useful to graduate students preparing for qualifying exams. Though Plato did not quite say, "He is unworthy of the name of man who does not know which integers are the sums of two squares," he came close. This guide can make everyone more worthy"--P. [4] of cover.

Sommario/riassunto

"Shale Gas: Exploration and Economic and Environmental Impacts is a guide to shale gas exploration for geoscientists, the oil and gas



industry, and others with a vested interest in unconventional oil and gas development. Provides wide-ranging coverage of both the environmental and economic impacts of shale gas exploration; Includes case studies that describe the prolific and potential shale gas systems from both producing and prospective countries; Appeals to both those in academia and those in the unconventional gas exploration industry"--Back cover.
