This book is about computer simulation, experiments, and theoretical approaches to unify various strategies in black jack. The computer simulation uses the simple strategy that a player must stay when the number of low cards is two or more. Otherwise, when the number is exactly one then the player must hit. Contrary to the author's expectations, the simple strategy did give consistent positive results for the player.
Experimenting further, the author found other observations that are important in winning such as when to start playing, busting condition of the dealer, and the shifting...

Relays and instrument transformers are the building blocks of protection systems for generators, busses, transformers, motors, and power lines. Yet, it appears that the subject is a mystery to most. The author greatly simplified the approach in presenting the fundamental ideas of protection systems. After showing the basics of a fault, the author presented the inverse-time characteristics of overcurrent relays, their pick-up currents, and their operating times. When possible, Boolean algebra was used in simplifying relay logic. Several chapters describe the basics of relays and instrument...

High-voltage transmission lines link power plants to cities or population centers. Its analysis and design control how electricity can be delivered reliably and efficiently.
This book provides the basic tools for analyzing high-voltage transmission lines. They include power fl ow analysis, power factor improvement, calculating inductance and capacitance, and the iterative approach in solving any transmission line problems. Chapter 10 of the book is about financing a power system. From financial point of view, it is the most important chapter in the book. The last chapter, or Chapter 11, is...
