Written by a teacher with over 25 years' experience of teaching Advanced Higher physics, the Advanced Higher Physics Investigations Companion offers comprehensive support for students tackling the Investigation component of the SQA's Advanced Higher Physics course. It contains descriptions of 20 projects, together with all those little bits and pieces that the experts seem to know about but were never written down. There are sections on: choosing and carrying out a project, the daybook, writing up the report and drawing graphs as well as how to handle errors and uncertainties. And advice on what to do if you crack-up. The Investigations Companion complements the Advanced Higher Physics Theory and the Advanced Higher Physics Questions & Solutions books by the same author.

The Advanced Higher Physics Theory Book provides comprehensive coverage of the SQA syllabus for the Advanced Higher course in Physics. Written by an author with over 25 years' experience of teaching Advanced Higher Physics, the material will engage students with a range of abilities. The book, however, is not intended as a last minute stop gap for students who wish to scrape through the course with the minimum of work. Other publishers have that covered. It will appeal more to the student who likes a joke, has an interest in science, and wants to know how the world works!The book presents a comprehensive guide to the subject, not just for students requiring a 'pass' at the subject, but also for those preparing to take the next step towards university. The book covers:Rotational Motion and Astrophysics Quanta and Waves ElectromagnetismIt is ideal for use with its companion books:Advanced Higher Physics - Questions and Solutions, which provides over 450 questions along with detailed solutionsAdvanced Higher Physics - Investigations Companion, which includes detailed descriptions of 20 projects.

Containing over 450 questions, most of them multi-part, the Advanced Higher Physics Questions & Solutions book offers comprehensive coverage of the SQA's course in Advanced Higher Physics.All types of question are covered including: familiarising yourself with a new equation, multipart questions leading you to a solution in easy steps, applying concepts in unfamiliar situations, and 'fill in the blanks'. With over 25 years' experience of teaching Advanced Higher Physics, the author is able to provide questions covering every level of difficulty. Detailed solutions, some of which are very detailed, guide the student through each step towards the answers. The Advanced Higher Questions and Solutions book is ideal for use with its companion books:Advanced Higher Physics Theory, which covers, in depth, the SQA's Advanced Higher courseAdvanced Higher Physics Investigations Companion, which includes detailed descriptions of 20 projects.

This book takes a fresh look at programs for advanced studies for high school students in the United States, with a particular focus on the Advanced Placement and the International Baccalaureate programs, and asks how advanced studies can be significantly improved in general. It also examines two of the core issues surrounding these programs: they can have a profound impact on other components of the education system and participation in the programs has become key to admission at selective institutions of higher education. By looking at what could enhance the quality of high school advanced study programs as well as what precedes and comes after these programs, this report provides teachers, parents, curriculum developers, administrators, college science and mathematics faculty, and the educational research community with a detailed assessment that can be used to guide change within advanced study programs.

The devices described in “Advanced MOS-Gated Thyristor Concepts” are utilized in microelectronics production equipment, in power transmission equipment, and for very high power motor control in electric trains, steel-mills, etc. Advanced concepts that enable improving the performance of power thyristors are discussed here, along with devices with blocking voltage capabilities of 5,000-V, 10,000-V and 15,000-V. Throughout the book, analytical models are generated to allow a simple analysis of the structures and to obtain insight into the underlying physics. The results of two-dimensional simulations are provided to corroborate the analytical models and give greater insight into the device operation.
