Engineering Noise Control: Theory and Practice

Taylor & Francis, 2009

Although this fourth edition follows the same basic style and format as the first, second and third editions, the content has been considerably updated and expanded, yet again. This is partly in response to significant advances in the practice of acoustics and in the associated technology during the six years since the third edition and partly in...

Geometry, Topology and Physics, Second Edition (Graduate Student Series in Physics)

Taylor & Francis, 2003

This book provides an introduction to the ideas and techniques of differential geometry and topology. It starts with a brief survey of quantum field theory, gauge theory, general relativity, vector spaces, and topology. Using many illustrations, exercises, and problems, the author demonstrates more elaborate concepts of topology and geometry,...

Underwater Acoustic Modeling: Principles, techniques and applications

Taylor & Francis, 1995

The subject of underwater acoustic modeling deals with the translation of our physical understanding of sound in the sea into mathematical formulas solvable by computers. This book divides the subject of underwater acoustic modeling into three fundamental aspects: the physical principles used to formulate underwater acoustic models; the...

Room Acoustics

Taylor & Francis, 2009

We all know that a concert hall, theatre, lecture room or a church may have good or poor ‘acoustics’. As far as speech in these rooms is concerned, it is relatively simple to make some sort of judgement on their quality by rating the ease with which the spoken word is understood. However, judging the acoustics of a concert hall or an...

Acoustic Diffusers and Absorbers: Theory, Design and Application

Taylor & Francis, 2004

Every book tells a story and there is a story behind every book. This story begins in 1980, in the conference room of the laboratory for the structure of matter at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, where Peter D’Antonio was employed as a diffraction physicist. Knowing Peter’s interest in music, a colleague handed...

Path Integrals in Physics Volume 2: Quantum Field Theory, Statistical Physics & Other Modern Applications

Taylor & Francis, 2001

This book covers the fundamentals of path integrals, both the Wiener and Feynman types, and their many applications in physics. It deals with systems that have an infinite number of degrees of freedom. The book discusses the general physical background and concepts of the path integral approach used, followed by the most typical and important...

Restorative Techniques in Paediatric Dentistry

Taylor & Francis, 2002

The third edition of this comprehensive text is supplemented by over 350 high-quality colour illustrations ensuring that "Paediatric Dentistry" is an essential textbook for both theoretical knowledge and the practice of clinical paediatric dentistry. This user-friendly, accessible new edition includes contributions from a number of...

The Origin and Evolution of the Solar System

Taylor & Francis, 2000

The Origin and Evolution of the Solar System begins by describing historical, i.e. pre-1950, theories and illustrating why they became unacceptable. The main part then critically examines five extant theories, including the current paradigm, the Solar Nebula Theory, to determine how well they fit with accepted scientific principles and...

Applied Structural and Mechanical Vibrations

Taylor & Francis, 1999

This book deals primarily with fundamental aspects of engineering vibrations within the framework of the linear theory. Although it is true that in practical cases it is sometimes not easy to distinguish between linear and nonlinear phenomena, the basic assumption throughout this text is that the principle of superposition holds.

Without...

Computational River Dynamics

Taylor & Francis, 2007

This comprehensive text on the fundamentals of modeling flow and sediment transport in rivers treats both the physical principles and numerical methods for various degrees of complexity. It covers 1-D, 2-D (both depth- and width-averaged), and 3-D models, as well as the integration and coupling of these models. The volume includes a broad selection...

Black Holes, Wormholes & Time Machines

Taylor & Francis, 1999

Do you know: · What might happen if you fall into a black hole? · That the Universe does not have an edge? · That the reason it gets dark at night is proof of the Big Bang? · That cosmic particles time-travel through the atmosphere defying death? · That our past, present and future might all coexist...

The Physics Companion

Taylor & Francis, 2003

The Physics Companion is a revision aid and study guide for undergraduates in physics. It covers the core topics, deriving key concepts and equations in clear one-page figure-rich descriptions. Each subsection contains a summary of the main equations, together with a set of worked examples.

The topics covered include:
