Given the problems of the environment in relation to the ever-growing civi- lization activities of man, it is not surprising that in recent years more and more related data have been collected, phenomena have been observed and concerns have been expressed.
The present work is not exactly a "e;course"e;, but rather is presented as a monograph in which the author has set forth what are, for the most part, his own results; this is particularly true of Chaps.
This text on the statistical theory of nonequilibrium phenomena grew out of lecture notes for courses on advanced statistical mechanics that were held more or less regularly at the Physics Department of the Technical University in Munich.
Eine gleichermaßen aktuelle wie zusammenfassende Darstellung der wichtigsten Methoden zur Untersuchung der klassischen Gruppen fehlte bislang in deutschsprachigen Lehrbüchern.
This book is based on the notes of the authors' seminar on algebraic and Lie groups held at the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow University in 1967/68.
In many areas of mechanics the interplay between mathematics and physics is crucial for understanding not only underlying principles but also practical applications.
Real problems concerning vibrations of elastic structures are among the most fascinating topics in mathematical and physical research as well as in applications in the engineering sciences.
One of the principal objects of theoretical research in any department of knowledge is to find the point of view from which the subject appears in its greatest simplicity.
In this book the author discusses the investigation of ion bombardment of solids by computer simulation, with the aim of demonstrating the usefulness of this approach to the problem of interactions of ions with solids.
Rhythms of the heart and of the nervous and endocrine system, breathing, locomotory movements, sleep, circadian rhythms and tissue cell cycles are major elements of the temporal order of man.
Analysis on Symmetric spaces, or more generally, on homogeneous spaces of semisimple Lie groups, is a subject that has undergone a vigorous development in recent years, and has become a central part of contemporary mathematics.
In part I of this book a dynamic migratory model connecting the microlevel of individual migration trends with the macrolevel of interregional migration is developed.
This volume contains the written versions of invited lectures and abstracts of seminars presented at the 26th "e;Universitatswochen fiir Kernphysik"e; (Uni- versity nuclear physics weeks) in Schladming, Austria, in February 1987.
Of the variety of nonlinear dynamical systems that exhibit deterministic chaos optical systems both lasers and passive devices provide nearly ideal systems for quantitative investigation due to their simplicity both in construction and in the mathematics that describes them.
These proceedings contain the papers contributed to the International Work- shop on "e;Dimensions and Entropies in Chaotic Systems"e; at the Pecos River Conference Center on the Pecos River Ranch in Spetember 1985.
The material included in this book was first presented in a series of lectures de- livered at the University of Minnesota in June 1983 in connection with the con- ference "e;Thermodynamics and Phase Transitions"e;.
Investigations in modem nonlinear analysis rely on ideas, methods and prob- lems from various fields of mathematics, mechanics, physics and other applied sciences.
The main aim of these lectures is to tri gger the interest of the restless under- graduate student of physical, mathematical, engineering, or biological sciences in the new and exciting multidisciplinary area of the evolution of "e;large-scale"e; dynamical systems.
Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind.
According to its definition, synergetics is concerned with the cooperation of indi- vidual parts of a system that produces macroscopic temporal, spatial or functional structures.
