Archimedes. Men of Science

Archimedes. Men of Science From Content: If the ordinary person were asked to say off-hand what he knew of Archimedes, he would probably, at the most, be able to quote one or other of the well-known stories about him: how, after discovering the solution of some problem in the bath, he was so overjoyed that [...]

Einstein’s Miraculous Year: Five Papers That Changed the Face of Physics

Einstein’s Miraculous Year: Five Papers That Changed the Face of Physics After 1905, Einstein’s miraculous year, physics would never be the same again. In those twelve months, Einstein shattered many cherished scientific beliefs with five extraordinary papers that would establish him as the world’s leading physicist. This book brings those papers together in an accessible [...]

THE GRAMMAR OF SCIENCE (1900)

THE GRAMMAR OF SCIENCE (1900) THE GRAMMAR OF SCIENCE (1900) 578 pgs, 2nd Edition PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION DURING the eight years which have elapsed since this Grammar was first published, the views expounded in it have undoubtedly met with wider acceptance than the author in the least anticipated. There are many signs that [...]

First Course in Numerical Analysis (International Series in Pure & Applied Mathematics) Reviews

First Course in Numerical Analysis (International Series in Pure & Applied Mathematics) Outstanding text treats numerical analysis with mathematical rigor, but relatively few theorems and proofs. Oriented toward computer solutions of problems, it stresses errors in methods and computational efficiency. Problems — some strictly mathematical, others requiring a computer — appear at the end of [...]

Mathematical Tools for Physics

Mathematical Tools for Physics Having the right answer doesn’t guarantee understanding. Encouraging students’ development of intuition, this original work begins with a review of basic mathematics and advances to infinite series, complex algebra, differential equations, and Fourier series. Succeeding chapters explore multivariable and vector calculus, partial differential equations, numerical and complex analysis, tensors, complex analysis, and [...]

Introduction to Quantum Effects in Gravity

Introduction to Quantum Effects in Gravity This is the first introductory textbook on quantum field theory in gravitational backgrounds intended for undergraduate and beginning graduate students in the fields of theoretical astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, and string theory. The book covers the basic (but essential) material of quantization of fields in an expanding universe and [...]

Stochastic Models, Information Theory, and Lie Groups, Volume 1: Classical Results and Geometric Methods (Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis) Reviews

Stochastic Models, Information Theory, and Lie Groups, Volume 1: Classical Results and Geometric Methods (Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis) This unique two-volume set presents the subjects of stochastic processes, information theory, and Lie groups in a unified setting, thereby building bridges between fields that are rarely studied by the same individuals. Unlike the many excellent formal treatments available [...]

Mathematical Analysis II (Universitext) (v. 2) Reviews

Mathematical Analysis II (Universitext) (v. 2) The second volume expounds classical analysis as it is today, as a part of unified mathematics, and its interactions with modern mathematical courses such as algebra, differential geometry, differential equations, complex and functional analysis. The book provides a firm foundation for advanced work in any of these directions. List [...]
