Case Studies and Applications

The seven Case Studies below concern topics introduced at the beginning of each chapter. The Application Projects either extend topics in the text or introduce new applications that students have found interesting. Please note that the "References to Applications" page on this website also has links to these Case Studies and Applications. Case studies and Applications are available in the technology formats listed below. You can download the case studies and applications for that format by clicking on the appropriate link.
