Zusammenfassung:A FIRST COURSE IN ATMOSPHERIC THERMODYNAMICS Grant W. Petty, 2008, 337 pp., $48.00 ($36.00 when ordered directly from publisher), paperbound, Sundog Publishing, ISBN 978-0-9729033-2-5 Before being asked to review Grant Petty 's A First Course in Atmospheric Thermodynamics, I had already assigned it as a required text to students in my sophomore-level calculus-based course in atmospheric thermodynamics. An entire 23-page appendix is dedicated to problem solving, including detailed sections on dimensional consistency, basic differentiation and integration, symbolic notation, and numerical precision, as well a sample problem that contrasts good and bad problem-solving techniques.
