Discrete Mathematics for New Technology, Second Edition

Taylor & Francis, 2001

Discrete Mathematics for New Technology provides a sympathetic and accessible introduction to discrete mathematics, including the core mathematics requirements for undergraduate computer science students. The approach is comprehensive whilst maintaining an easy to follow progression from the basic mathematical ideas to the more sophisticated...

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...

Path Integrals in Physics Volume 1: Stochastic Process & Quantum Mechanics

Taylor & Francis, 2001

The importance of path-integral methods in theoretical physics can hardly be disputed. Their applications in most branches of modern physics have proved to be extremely fruitful not only for solving already existing problems but also as a guide for the formulation and development of essentially new ideas and approaches in the description 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...

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,...

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.

Computer Modelling of Concrete Mixtures

Taylor & Francis, 1999

While the traditional procedure of making trial mixes is now unnecessary, expensive and time consuming, the data generated can be incorporated into the development of computer-based systems and combined with knowledge from research and practice. The author has developed systems by which a small amount of materials data can be used to predict the...

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...

Evolutionary Computation 1: Basic Algorithms and Operators

Taylor & Francis, 2000

The original Handbook of Evolutionary Computation (Back et a1 1997) was designed to fulfil1 the need for a broad-based reference book reflecting the important role that evolutionary computation plays in a variety of disciplinesranging from the natural sciences and engineering to evolutionary biology and computer...

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:
