The express purpose of these lecture notes is to go through some aspects of the simplicial quantum gravity model known as the dynamical triangula- tions approach.
Mechanics of Advanced Functional Materials emphasizes the coupling effect between the electric and mechanical field in the piezoelectric, ferroelectric and other functional materials.
A graduate-level text that examines the semiclassical approach to quantum mechanicsPhysical systems have been traditionally described in terms of either classical or quantum mechanics.
Published here in the original German and French, along with an English translation, the correspondence between Albert Einstein and Elie Cartan includes letters written between 1929 and 1932, after which time Einstein abandoned his unified field theory based on absolute parallelism.
Kinematical problems of both classical and quantum mechanics are considered in these lecture notes ranging from differential calculus to the application of one of Chernoff's theorems.
Hugh Aitken describes a critical period in the history of radio, when continuous wave technology first made reliable long-distance wireless communication possible and opened up opportunities for broadcasting voice and music.
A classic introduction to non-linear mechanics from the acclaimed Annals of Mathematics Studies seriesPrinceton University Press is proud to have published the Annals of Mathematics Studies since 1940.
An in-depth exploration of how biomechanics and ecology work togetherPlants and animals interact with each other and their surroundings, and these interactions-with all their complexity and contingency-control where species can survive and reproduce.
Barry Simon's book both summarizes and introduces the remarkable progress in constructive quantum field theory that can be attributed directly to the exploitation of Euclidean methods.
Quantum mechanics was still in its infancy in 1932 when the young John von Neumann, who would go on to become one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century, published Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics--a revolutionary book that for the first time provided a rigorous mathematical framework for the new science.
A short, graduate-level synthesis of recent developments in theoretical physics, from a pioneer in the fieldLectures on the Infrared Structure of Gravity and Gauge Theory presents an accessible, graduate-level synthesis of a frontier research area in theoretical physics.
Mechanical Design of Structural Materials in Animals explores the principles underlying how molecules interact to produce the functional attributes of biological materials: their strength and stiffness, ability to absorb and store energy, and ability to resist the fatigue that accrues through a lifetime of physical insults.
New mathematical research in arithmetic dynamicsIn The Arithmetic of Polynomial Dynamical Pairs, Charles Favre and Thomas Gauthier present new mathematical research in the field of arithmetic dynamics.
New adaptive and event-triggered control designs with concrete applications in undersea construction, offshore drilling, and cable elevatorsControl applications in undersea construction, cable elevators, and offshore drilling present major methodological challenges because they involve PDE systems (cables and drillstrings) of time-varying length, coupled with ODE systems (the attached loads or tools) that usually have unknown parameters and unmeasured states.
The first complete proof of Arnold diffusion-one of the most important problems in dynamical systems and mathematical physicsArnold diffusion, which concerns the appearance of chaos in classical mechanics, is one of the most important problems in the fields of dynamical systems and mathematical physics.
SSQG SCALER SONIC QUANTUM GEOMETRY AND THE UNIFIED PHYSICS OF FREQUENCY UNVEILS A REVOLUTIONARY FRAMEWORK THAT SHATTERS CONVENTIONAL UNDERSTANDING, UNIFYING THE FUNDAMENTAL FORCES OF PHYSICS WITH THE PRIMORDIAL POWER OF FREQUENCY.
For decades, we've been promised that a hydrogen economy is just around the corner: a high-tech Eden in which our cars, homes, and industries would be powered not by fossil fuels but by hydrogen from pollution-free sources.

After the huge national and international success of 'Longitude' and 'Gallileo's Daughter', Dava Sobel tells the human story of the nine planets of our solar system.
Electrolytes for Electrochemical Supercapacitors provides a state-of-the-art overview of the research and development of novel electrolytes and electrolyte configurations and systems to increase the energy density of electrochemical supercapacitors.
With mounting pressure to extract petroleum from oil sands and other unconventional sources, oil refineries must adapt their processing methods to handle increasingly heavy crude oils.
