An Introduction to Modeling and Simulation of Particulate Flows (Computational Science and Engineering)

SIAM, 2007

The relatively recent increase in computational power available for mathematical modeling and simulation raises the possibility that modern numerical methods can play a significant role in the analysis of complex particulate flows. This introductory monograph focuses on basic models and physically based computational solution strategies for the...

Under the Radar: The First Woman in Radio Astronomy: Ruby Payne-Scott (Astrophysics and Space Science Library)

Springer, 2009

This is the biography of Ruby Payne-Scott (1912 to 1981). As the first female radio astronomer (and one of the first people in the world to consider radio astronomy), she made classic contributions to solar radio physics.

She also played a major role in the design of the Australian government's Council for Scientific and...

An Introduction to Modern Cosmology

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

An Introduction to Modern Cosmology Second Edition is an accessible account of modern cosmological ideas. The Big Bang Cosmology is explored, looking at its observational successes in explaining the expansion and age of the universe, the existence and properties of the cosmic microwave background, and the origin of the light elements...

For Better or for Worse

Columbia University Press, 2001

The development of an American science establishment -- today an amalgam of scientists, engineers, universities, industrial laboratories, and federal science agencies -- began early in the twentieth century when the federal government began to invest in a national scientific infrastructure. During World War II this investment swelled to colossal...
