Stability and Chaos in Celestial Mechanics (Springer Praxis Books / Astronomy and Planetary Sciences)
Stability and Chaos in Celestial Mechanics (Springer Praxis Books / Astronomy and Planetary Sciences)

Alessandra Celletti’s proposed book presents classical celestial mechanics and its interplay with dynamical systems in a way that would be suitable for advance level undergraduate students as well as postgraduate students and researchers. First she uses paradigmatic models, such as the logistic map or the standard map, to introduce the...

Magic Universe: A Grand Tour of Modern Science
Magic Universe: A Grand Tour of Modern Science

As a prolific author, BBC commentator, and magazine editor, Nigel Calder has spent a lifetime spotting and explaining the big discoveries in all branches of science. In Magic Universe, he draws on his vast experience to offer readers a lively, far-reaching look at modern science in all its glory, shedding light on the latest ideas in...

Stellar Polarimetry
Stellar Polarimetry

To many astrophysicists, Stellar P larimetry is a Cinderella subject considered as being so insignificant and, at the same time, being so esoteric as to be ignored and left alone. Others have followed and developed the theme with an enthusiastic passion. There can be no doubt, however, that the study of polarization within Astronomy has a...

Computational Fluid Mechanics
Computational Fluid Mechanics

This volume presents recent advances in computational fluid dynamics. The topics range from fundamentals and computational techniques to a wide variety of applications in astronomy, applied mathematics and meteorology. They describe recent calculations in direct numerical simulation of turbulence, applications of turbulence modelling of...

Starfinder

Combining a concise practical guide to astronomy with card decks, sky maps, and a flashlight, Starfinder explains how to navigate around the night sky, shows you what you can expect to see, and provides all the tools you need to see the constellations for yourself. It also includes a section on observing the Moon, planets, and other...

Astrophysics: A New Approach (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library)
Astrophysics: A New Approach (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library)

For a quantitative understanding of the physics of the universe - from the solar system through the milky way to clusters of galaxies all the way to cosmology - these edited lecture notes are perhaps among the most concise and also among the most critical ones: Astrophysics has not yet stood the redundancy test of laboratory physics, hence...

The Edge of Infinity: Supermassive Black Holes in the Universe
The Edge of Infinity: Supermassive Black Holes in the Universe

This timely book is suitable for the general reader wishing to find answers to some of the intriguing questions now being asked about black holes. Although once recognized as the most destructive force in nature, following a cascade of astonishing discoveries, the opinion of supermassive black holes has undergone a dramatic shift. Astronomers...

In Search of Dark Matter (Springer Praxis Books / Space Exploration)
In Search of Dark Matter (Springer Praxis Books / Space Exploration)

The dark matter problem is one of the most fundamental and profoundly difficult problems in the history of science. Not knowing what makes up most of the mass in the Universe goes to the heart of our understanding of the Universe and our place in it. In Search of Dark Matter is the story of the emergence of the dark matter problem, from the...

Galaxy Formation and Evolution
Galaxy Formation and Evolution

The rapidly expanding field of galaxy formation lies at the interface between astronomy, particle physics, and cosmology. Covering diverse topics from these disciplines, all of which are needed to understand how galaxies form and evolve, this book is ideal for researchers entering the field. Individual chapters explore the evolution of the...

Information Sharing on the Semantic Web
Information Sharing on the Semantic Web

The rapid progress of the “information society” in the past decade has been made possible by the removal of many technical barriers. Producing, storing, and transporting information in large quantities are no longer significant problems.

Producing on-line, digitized information is no longer a problem. Ever more of our...

Scientific Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery: Principles and Foundations

This book suits both graduate students and researchers with a focus on discovering knowledge from scientific data. The use of computational power for data analysis and knowledge discovery in scientific disciplines has found its roots with the revolution of high-performance computing systems. Computational science in physics,...

Testing IT: An Off-the-Shelf Software Testing Process
Testing IT: An Off-the-Shelf Software Testing Process

Why is astronomy considered a science while astrology is considered only a pseudoscience? In other words, how can we prove that a theory faithfully describes reality, and that this theory can then be used to predict unknown facts? Karl Popper, the well-known philosopher, studied these problems and summarized his conclusions in one...
