Mendeley is a program that can easily store your information sources. You can also add notes or the full text if you like. You can put your information sources into folders and share these folders with other people. You can tag each source with keywords so you can easily find your sources in Mendeley. In short, you can create your own digital 'library' with your own structure.

Mendeley is een programma dat eenvoudig jouw informatiebronnen kan opslaan. Je kunt deze eventueel nog aanvullen met opmerkingen of de full text. Je kunt je informatiebronnen in folders zetten en deze folders met andere personen delen. Je kunt aan iedere bron trefwoorden hangen zodat je in Mendeley makkelijk je bronnen terug kunt vinden. Kortom je kunt er je eigen digitale 'bibliotheek' van maken met je eigen structuur.

Het boek Inzicht - academische vaardigheden voor bouwkundigen geeft een verdiepend beeld van bouwkunde als wetenschappelijke discipline, gaat expliciet in op de relatie tussen ontwerp en onderzoek en richt zich met name op praktische vaardigheden die bouwkundestudenten ontwikkelen gedurende hun bacheloropleiding in Delft. Het boek is opgebouwd uit vier delen. Deel A richt zich op de plaats van bouwkunde binnen de wetenschap. Deel B richt zich op basisvaardigheden: algemene academische vaardigheden voor bouwkundigen. Deel C diept specifieke bouwkundige methoden van onderzoek uit. Deel D, het laatste deel, is enerzijds gericht op de praktijk en anderzijds op reflectie. Door deze brede opzet kan het boek niet alleen direct gebruikt worden door studenten en docenten in de leerlijn Wetenschap en Vaardigheden, maar juist ook in de andere leerlijnen en modulen. Tevens is het boek een naslagwerk voor andere Bouwkunde- en Architectuuropleidingen in binnen- en buitenland dat inzicht geeft hoe wij binnen de faculteit Bouwkunde van de TU Delft aankijken tegen het vakgebied en welke academische vaardigheden daar op bachelorniveau bij horen.

Infrastructure forms the backbone of our society – from roads and railways to waterworks and ports – as critical part of vital systems for mobility, water and space. But that backbone is under strain. Ageing systems, climate change and scarce resources force us to rethink fundamentally how we design, use and value infrastructure. This Design Guide starts with one urgent question: how can we make infrastructure future-proof in a world of uncertainty? It introduces integrated approaches in which design, engineering, policy and societal value come together through a wide range of inspiring examples related to urban and regional accessibility and development, spatial quality, flood protection, and ecological restoration. The book demonstrates how infrastructure can be more than merely a functional system. It becomes a driver of societal value and prosperity, and a strategic instrument that connects quality of life, sustainability and economic development. This Design Guide offers a clear conceptual framework to understand and design infrastructure that is not only more efficient, but also more sustainable, inclusive and meaningful. Drawn from thematical insights and lessons, and applicable methods, techniques and strategies by a broad range of scientists and professionals of practice with a background architecture, urban development and design, landscape architecture, civil engineering, economics, governance or policy. A substantial and indispensable guide for designers, engineers and policymakers committed to shaping the infrastructure and the society of tomorrow.

This book, Exercises, contains hundreds of exercises, including answers and worked examples, for studying and practicing the theory. Python scripts illustrate how to perform spectral signal analysis on a computer. The companion book, Theory, is an introductory textbook on the analysis of signals in time and frequency.

Classical mechanics is the starting point of physics. Over the centuries, via Newton’s three fundamental laws formulated around 1687, we have built a solid framework describing the material world around us. This textbook includes animations, demos and exercises for studying introductory classical mechanics. Moreover, we will consider the first steps of Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity published 1905. This book starts from the three laws of Newton and builds up classical mechanics from scratch. Its content carefully constructs the classical mechanics from Newtons laws, providing a rigorous, fundamental framework. Emphasis is placed on working with the basic concepts of momentum, energy and angular momentum. Special attention is paid to oscillations, collisions including non-ideal ones and the Kepler problem. Rigid body dynamics is extensively discussed. The use of polar coordinates is extensively discussed. Non-inertial frames of reference are treated starting from linearly accelerating ones and moving to the rotating frames of reference. The centrifugal and Coriolis forces are introduced and explained. In the second part, the switch to special relativity is made. The problems coming out of Maxwells equations for electro-magnetic waves are used as the step towards modern mechanics. The Lorentz Transformation, where events in 4-dimensional space, time dilation and length contraction are discussed. Furthermore, the book introduces the world of four-vectors, deriving the four-velocity and four-momentum. Velocity transformation, Doppler shift and relativistic collision form the final parts of the book.

Engineering Signal Analysis - Theory, is an introductory textbook on the analysis of signals in time and frequency. It takes an engineer’s perspective and discusses how to characterize, analyze and operate on signals. The basic theoretical concepts, Fourier series and transform, are explained in continuous time. It then introduces discrete-time signals, addressing how sampling and finite signal duration affect spectral analysis. It discusses the discrete Fourier transform and its use in spectral estimation. The book concludes with an introduction to linear systems and signal filtering.

Dit boek is bedoeld als een eerste kennismaking met het vakgebied waterbouwkunde, zonder de pretentie volledig te zijn. Het is gemotiveerd vanuit de ervaring van de auteur dat het heerlijk is om in het vakgebied te grasduinen. Er is gegrasduind in enkele fundamentele aspecten van het vakgebied met verwijzingen naar de huidige praktijk en hier en daar de historie. De nadruk ligt op fysische processen en de mathematische beschrijving daarvan. Daarnaast is er aandacht voor het schetsmatig ontwerpen van enkele waterbouwkundige constructies.

The book provides the scientific basis of geometrical optics, ray tracing, and aberration theory. It applies this knowledge to optical systems and their imaging performance and establishes the link between ray optics and wave optics.

The key ideas of linear algebra are presented from a geometric viewpoint, starting with vectors, lines, and planes. Standard topics such as linear systems, matrices, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and orthogonality are treated clearly, followed by more advanced themes like symmetric matrices and discrete dynamical systems. The book includes many interactive applets that give students hands-on experience, along with numerous embedded exercises offering personalized feedback. Together, these create an engaging environment for learning linear algebra.
