Fourier's discovery that almost any signal could be built out of basic sine waves, was years ahead of its time. The Fourier Series, and its later developments: the Fourier Transform and the Fast Fourier Transform, lie at the heart of so many of our electronic devices today. From the mobile phone sitting in your pocket, to early warning systems that keep aircraft engines running safely, Fourier is there, telling you which sine waves are present in your signal.The standard approach to teaching complicated mathematical concepts in schools and universities relies more on mathematical analysis and the student's capability to manipulate equations, than on his or her intuition. A good diagram and a clear analogy are often worth a thousand words.This book will guide you systematically, visually, and intuitively through each of the core concepts making up the Fourier Series; granting you the knowledge you need to confidently use one of the cornerstones of signal analysis.

The book explains how and why visual literacy can help improve learning for all students. It defines visual literacy and discusses how it works. It shows how the subjective, incomplete nature of visuals can be used to advantage in the classroom. Visual Literacy provides an array of classroom strategies and activities.

Although much has been written about the golden days of radio, Entrepreneurs of Profit and Pride is the first book to examine the black radio industry.

This analytical introduction assesses contrasting definitions of black nationalism in America, thereby providing an overview of its development and varied manifestations across two centuries.

Geography as Inquiry invites teachers and learners to explore geography in exciting ways, across key concepts, connected to history and the social sciences, reestablishing its place in the social studies and history curriculum.

A history and tour of this exceptionally beautiful designed landscape in North Yorkshire.

The strong push to use primary sources in teaching history and social studies creates a need among teachers for more information on what they are and how they can be used effectively in the classroom. Vital Witnesses meets this need by providing teachers with a comprehensive guide to primary sources and their use in the classroom.
