Milwaukee Waterways Milwaukee Waterways illustrates the role Lake Michigan and Milwaukee's rivers have played in the history of Milwaukee. Pictures of the harbor and ships from around the world loading and unloading materials show the variety of materials that have passed through the Port over time. Other pictures illustrate the role the rivers played in the commercial development of the city. Aerial views of the harbor and rivers and lakefront show the changing uses of the water and land. Milwaukee was founded at the site where three rivers -- the Milwaukee, Menomonee and Kinnickinnic -- flow into Lake Michigan. Milwaukee began as a Great Lakes port in 1835, when the first commercial cargo vessel arrived, and is still a busy port today. The photographs are from three collections. The Port of Milwaukee has an extensive collection of historic photos of the Port and the vessels and people connected with it, illustrating the role the Port has played in the economic and social history of Milwaukee. The majority of the photos in this database are from that collection. Milwaukee Public Library has a Historic Photo Collection of over 50,000 photographs of Milwaukee dating from the late 19th century to the present. A number of photos relating to the lake, the port, and the rivers are included. Other photos are from the Great Lakes Marine Collection of Milwaukee Public Library and the Wisconsin Marine Historical Society. In addition to the photos included here, the Marine Collection has files on over 10,000 Great Lakes vessels, books, and journals as well as subject files containing data on Great Lakes shipping companies, shipyards, ports, lighthouses, and other topics.

Milwaukee Mayors The Milwaukee Mayors digital collection is an adaptation of a volume of images and information collected by Library staff to form the Biographical Sketches of the Mayors of the City of Milwaukee.

In addition to the images and information from Biographical Sketches, other photos were selected from the Historic Portrait Collection (a part of the Historic Photo Archives) in the Humanities Department. In the case of some mayors, there were far too many photos to be digitized for this collection, so a variety was selected in an attempt to represent various activities or periods of life for the mayors.

Mathematical methods, models and applications for engineers, mathematicians and scientists The purpose of this work is to give the college upper class (or graduate) student a glimpse into some important areas of applicable mathematics along with some experience in traditional and contemporary applications. The approach is firmly grounded in mathematics; proofs and models of real-world phenomena are both done carefully. Mathematicians in particular, should feel comfortable using this book in service courses for engineers and physicists, as well as in courses for mathematics majors. The physics or engineering instructor will find in the book more of the mathematical foundations of applied analysis and related areas than in most books of similar scope at this level.
