Modern Aerodynamic Methods for Direct and Inverse Applications

John Wiley & Sons, 2019

Just when classic subject areas seem understood, the author, a Caltech, M.I.T. and Boeing trained aerodynamicist, raises profound questions over traditional formulations. Can shear flows be rigorously modeled using simpler “potential-like” methods versus Euler equation approaches? Why not solve aerodynamic...

Temporal Type Theory: A Topos-Theoretic Approach to Systems and Behavior (Progress in Computer Science and Applied Logic)

Birkhauser, 2019

This innovative monograph explores a new mathematical formalism in higher-order temporal logic for proving properties about the behavior of systems. Developed by the authors, the goal of this novel approach is to explain what occurs when multiple, distinct system components interact by using a category-theoretic description of behavior...
