We have a limited number of copies of the award winning educational tool Materials Science on CD-ROM. These are residual stocks from Chapman and Hall, who have not been involved in the project since they were taken over by CRC.
Developed by the MATTER project in the United Kingdom, the package includes a CD-ROM and a textbook. It contains 18 separate interactive learning/teaching modules, including:
- electrons in crystals
- introduction to crystallography
- atomic diffusion in metals and alloys
- introduction to point defects
- dislocations
- introduction to phase diagrams
- thermodynamics of phase diagrams
- nucleation in metals and alloys
- aluminum alloys - systems
- aluminum alloys - strengthening
- aluminum alloys - proocessing
- deformation of polymers
- elasticity of rubbers
- mechanics of composite materials
- introduction to electron microscopes
- using the SEM
- image fundamentals
- beam-specimen interactions
Widely acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic, these modules can be used as lecture material or for self-study. Each module includes a self-test at the end.
These used to sell for $74.50. Now $50 as long as supplies last.
Testimonials
"I strongly recommend this excellent software. We use it extensively inour courses and it is very popular with our students."
Prof. Colin Humphreys, Dept. of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge
"The MATTER software puts the student in control of many of the important parameters of each simulation. It is this which puts the package ahead of others in the field."
Prof. John Pilling, Dept. of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Michigan Technological University
"The MATTER software is very nicely done. The interface is clean and intuitive. I feel that this kind of approach will enable students to better visualize important concepts in materials science. The interactive portions are very effective in engaging the user in active learning"
Professor Kristen Constant, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Iowa State Univ.
