The principal purpose of this book is to provide an account of the circle of ideas, results and techniques, which emerged roughly over the last ten years in the study of Brownian motion and random obstacles.
Ever since the invention of the laser itself, the spectroscopist has dreamed of lasers that could be tuned continuously over whatever set of resonances he wished to study.
It has been almost thirty years since Yang and Mills (1954) performed their pioneering work on gauge theories, and it is probably safe to say that we have in our hands a good candidate for a theory of the strong interactions, based precisely on a non-Abelian gauge theory.
Minimal Surfaces I is an introduction to the field of minimal surfaces and a presentation of the classical theory as well as of parts of the modern development centered around boundary value problems.
Mathematical biology - the use of mathematical ideas andmodels in the biosciences - is a fast growing, very excitingand increasingly important inderdisciplinary field.
Complex systems are ubiquitous, and practically all branches of science ranging from physics through chemistry and biology to economics and sociology have to deal with them.
As man turns his attention from the overcrowded continents of this planet and explores the spaciousness of the ocean, the applications of ocean acoustics become increasingly numerous and important.
Following the concept of the EMS series this volume sets out to familiarize the reader to the fundamental ideas and results of modern ergodic theory and to its applications to dynamical systems and statistical mechanics.
Die vorliegende Sammlung technischer Daten soll Konstrukteuren, Verarbeitern und Anwendern von Kunststoffen den Überblick über das Werkstoffangebot erleichtern.
Light observed from distant objects is found to be deflected by the gravitational field of massive objects near the line of sight - an effect predicted by Einstein in his first paper setting forth the general theory of relativity, and confirmed by Eddington soon afterwards.
The problems being solved by invariant theory are far-reaching generalizations and extensions of problems on the "e;reduction to canonical form"e; of various is almost the same thing, projective geometry.
In this corrected and enlarged edition of Borner's well respected textbook, you will find an up-to-date account of the interplay between particle physics and astrophysics upon which modern cosmology is founded.
Simple random walks - or equivalently, sums of independent random vari- ables - have long been a standard topic of probability theory and mathemat- ical physics.
The purpose of this book is the development of the principles and experimental techniques underlying near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy and the demonstration of the power of the technique for the study of the electronic and crystallographic structure of low-Z molecules bonded to surfaces.
In these days of specialization it is important to bring together physicists working in diverse areas to exchange and share their ideas and excitement.
Minimal surfaces I is an introduction to the field ofminimal surfaces and apresentation of the classical theoryas well as of parts of the modern development centeredaround boundary value problems.
