CLIWOC (Climatological Database of the World’s Oceans) - Provides information to better knowledge of climate variability during the study period from sources that have not been exploited until now will be obtained.

 

College physics for students of biology and chemistry - Algebra-based physics courses always present a serious problem for the instructor. Physicists live and die by calculus and vectors. They provide the structure which physics need to be a logically organized body of knowledge. In constructing an algebra-based course, we deny ourselves the use derivatives and integrals, and typically we greatly restrict our use of vectors.
