Infinite series, and their analogues-integral representations, became funda-mental tools in mathematical analysis, starting in the second half of the seven-teenth century.
The French chemist Marcelin Berthelot put forward a classical and by now an often cited sentence revealing the quintessence of the chemical science: "e;La Chimie cree son objet"e;.
Discrete and computational geometry are two fields which in recent years have benefitted from the interaction between mathematics and computer science.
This book provides an introduction to the use of algebraic methods and sym- bolic computation for simple quantum systems with applications to large order perturbation theory.
Dynamics of multibody systems is of great importance in the fields of robotics, biomechanics, spacecraft control, road and rail vehicle design, and dynamics of machinery.
The presence of freely moving charges gives peculiar properties to electrolyte solutions, such as electric conductance, charge transfer, and junction potentials in electrochemical systems.
Radiation is the one agent among all environmental factors which may damage biological systems that is not only easily quantifiable but can also be measured with unsurpassed resolution.
Reinvigorated by advances and insights, in particular from the active fields of quantum information and computing, the quantum theory of irreversible processes has recently attracted growing attention.
The Augmented Spherical Wave (ASW) method is one of the most powerful approaches for handling the requirements of finite basis sets in DFT calculations.
Quantum Chemistry of Solids delivers a comprehensive account of the main features and possibilities of LCAO methods for the first principles calculations of electronic structure of periodic systems.
The problem of designing a cost-efficient network thatsurvives the failure of one or more nodes or edges of thenetwork is critical to modern telecommunicationsengineering.
A workshop on Singularities, Bifuraction and Dynamics was held at Warwick in July 1989, as part of a year-long symposium on Singularity Theory and its applications.
This book surveys the recent theory of wavelet transforms and its applications in various fields both within mathematics (singular integrals, localization of singularities) and beyond it, in computer vision, the physics of fractals, time-frequency analysis.
The behaviour of many complex materials extends over time- and lengthscales well beyond those that can normally be described using standard molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulation techniques.
Spontaneous pattern formation in nonlinear dissipative systems far from equilibrium is a paradigmatic case of emergent behaviour associated with complex systems.
This collection - the second of a three-volume study - examines the roots of the artistic, literary and cultural renaissance of Sufism from the 12th to the 15th centuries.
This comprehensive study is unique in its chronological breadth, intellectual diversity and historical scope and which demonstrates the central role played by Sufism in Persianate culture in Iran, Central Asia and India
Written by leading experts in this field, this proceedings volume originates from a workshop held in Toulouse on March 1-2, 2023, organized by the ESIM European project (Energy Storage Inside Molecule(s)).
