Applied Sociology of Health and Illness A Problem-Based Learning Approach

Applied Sociology of Health and Illness A Problem-Based Learning Approach

Praise for the First Edition: A real combined approach of behavioural social biomedical and clinical sciences is paramount. [This book] is one pioneering example of such integration bridging core sociology with medical education. – Dikomitis L Wenning B Ghobrial A and Adams K. M. (2022). Embedding behavioural and social sciences across the medical curriculum: (Auto) ethnographic insights from medical schools in the United Kingdom. Societies 12 101. Constantinou’s book not only contributes to bridging the gap between theoretical sociology and medical education it also contributes to the way we teach a new generation of students – how to understand patients in context how to treat them with respect and ultimately how to be a better medical doctor. – Andrea Stockl from her Foreword to the First Edition Comments from Medical Students: ‘Ignorance is not just lack of knowledge but lack of implementing knowledge gained’. I encourage everybody going into a clinical and general work setting to read this book and implement. I believe this book is the key to unlocking the minds of medical students in viewing illness as not only physical and emotional also as social experience. I believe everyone should read this book especially medical students and practitioners who wish to become all-round competent and understanding doctors. The better you understand your patient’s illness and his/her suffering the healthier you can make him/her – this book teaches this important skill. This popular and accessible text continues to cover the basic principles of the sociology of health and illness in an eminently readable way. This fully revised second edition has been inspired informed and reviewed by medical students. By creatively employing a problem-based learning approach the book examines commonly covered topics integrating underlying principles and research findings through real-life stories. The book investigates the relevance of sociology and considers a new direction – one that places sociology in the context of healthcare settings making the topic more realistic useful and memorable. The book will be an invaluable companion for medical students throughout undergraduate studies and is also a useful reference for students in nursing social work psychology and sociology as well as qualified doctors and healthcare practitioners. | Applied Sociology of Health and Illness A Problem-Based Learning Approach

Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes

Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes

Fads are as common in mathematics as in any other human activity and it is always difficult to separate the enduring from the ephemeral in the achievements of one’s own time. An unfortunate effect of the predominance of fads is that if a student doesn’t learn about such worthwhile topics as the wave equation Gauss’s hypergeometric function the gamma function and the basic problems of the calculus of variations—among others—as an undergraduate then he/she is unlikely to do so later. The natural place for an informal acquaintance with such ideas is a leisurely introductory course on differential equations. Specially designed for just such a course Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes takes great pleasure in the journey into the world of differential equations and their wide range of applications. The author—a highly respected educator—advocates a careful approach using explicit explanation to ensure students fully comprehend the subject matter. With an emphasis on modeling and applications the long-awaited Third Edition of this classic textbook presents a substantial new section on Gauss’s bell curve and improves coverage of Fourier analysis numerical methods and linear algebra. Relating the development of mathematics to human activity—i. e. identifying why and how mathematics is used—the text includes a wealth of unique examples and exercises as well as the author’s distinctive historical notes throughout. Provides an ideal text for a one- or two-semester introductory course on differential equationsEmphasizes modeling and applicationsPresents a substantial new section on Gauss’s bell curveImproves coverage of Fourier analysis numerical methods and linear algebraRelates the development of mathematics to human activity—i. e. identifying why and how mathematics is usedIncludes a wealth of unique examples and exercises as well as the author’s distinctive historical notes throughoutUses explicit explanation to ensure students fully comprehend the subject matter Outstanding Academic Title of the Year Choice magazine American Library Association.

Combinatorics

Combinatorics

Combinatorics Second Edition is a well-rounded general introduction to the subjects of enumerative bijective and algebraic combinatorics. The textbook emphasizes bijective proofs which provide elegant solutions to counting problems by setting up one-to-one correspondences between two sets of combinatorial objects. The author has written the textbook to be accessible to readers without any prior background in abstract algebra or combinatorics. Part I of the second edition develops an array of mathematical tools to solve counting problems: basic counting rules recursions inclusion-exclusion techniques generating functions bijective proofs and linear algebraic methods. These tools are used to analyze combinatorial structures such as words permutations subsets functions graphs trees lattice paths and much more. Part II cover topics in algebraic combinatorics including group actions permutation statistics symmetric functions and tableau combinatorics. This edition provides greater coverage of the use of ordinary and exponential generating functions as a problem-solving tool. Along with two new chapters several new sections and improved exposition throughout the textbook is brimming with many examples and exercises of various levels of difficulty.
