At the date of this writing, there is no question that the boundary element method has emerged as one of the major revolutions on the engineering science of computational mechanics.
In three dimensional boundary element analysis, computation of integrals is an important aspect since it governs the accuracy of the analysis and also because it usually takes the major part of the CPU time.
It was mainly during the last two decades that the theory of homogenization or averaging of partial differential equations took shape as a distinct mathe- matical discipline.
This book deals with one of the fundamental problems of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics: the explanation of large-scale dynamics (evolution differential equations) from models of a very large number of interacting particles.
This fourth volume of Advances in Computer Graphics gathers together a selection of the tutorials presented at the EUROGRAPHICS annual conference in Nice, France, Septem- ber 1988.
In order to provide meaningful information for evaluating environmental consequences of alternative control strategies of air pollutant emissions, scientists have recently initiated numerous studies aiming at collecting and making use of regional data.
The normal business of physicists may be schematically thought of as predic- ting the motions of particles on the basis of known forces, or the propagation of radiation on the basis of a known constitution of matter.
Die Untersuchung des möglichen Zusammenhanges zwischen Passivrauchen und Lungenkrebs ist ein Beispiel für aktuelle epidemiologische Fragestellungen, bei denen es um die Erforschung der Krankheitsverursachung durch niedrige Risiken geht.
Class field theory, which is so immediately compelling in its main assertions, has, ever since its invention, suffered from the fact that its proofs have required a complicated and, by comparison with the results, rather imper- spicuous system of arguments which have tended to jump around all over the place.
In the first edition of this book, we covered in Chapter 6 and 7 the applications to multidimensional convolutions and DFT's of the transforms which we have introduced, back in 1977, and called polynomial transforms.
The first five chapters of this book form an introductory course in piece- wise-linear topology in which no assumptions are made other than basic topological notions.
