The Fifth Postulate: How Unraveling A Two Thousand Year Old Mystery Unraveled the Universe

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

What do Einstein's theory of relativity, string theory, and lots of other mind-bending—and space-bending—revelations of modern physics have in common? None of them could have been discovered until scientists and mathematicians recognized an uncomfortable truth—that there was a reason the world's greatest mathematical minds had...

Algorithmic Cryptanalysis (Cryptography and Network Security)

CRC Press, 2009

Focusing on both private- and public-key cryptographic algorithms, this book describes algorithmic methods with cryptographically relevant examples. After introducing modern cryptography and elementary number theory and algebra, it covers linear algebra, sieving, brute force, algorithms based on the birthday paradox,...

Mathematics and Physics for Programmers (Game Development Series)

Charles River, 2005

Many programmers frequently have limited backgrounds in the mathematics and physics needed for game development or other complex applications. Sooner or later, all programmers run into coding issues that will require an understanding of mathematics or physics concepts like collision detection, 3D vectors, transformations, game theory, or basic...

The Student's Introduction to MATHEMATICA®: A Handbook for Precalculus, Calculus, and Linear Algebra

Cambridge University Press, 2009

"It's a good book... a book that most students can benefit from."
MAA Reviews

The unique feature of this compact student's introduction is that it presents concepts in an order that closely follows a standard mathematics curriculum, rather than structure the book along features of the software. As a result,...

Atmospheric Thermodynamics: Elementary Physics and Chemistry

Cambridge University Press, 2009

This textbook presents a uniquely integrated approach in linking both physics and chemistry to the study of atmospheric thermodynamics. The book explains the classical laws of thermodynamics, focuses on various fluid systems, and, recognizing the increasing importance of chemistry in the meteorological and climate sciences, devotes a chapter to...

Families of Conformally Covariant Differential Operators, Q-Curvature and Holography (Progress in Mathematics)

Birkhauser, 2009

The central object of the book is Q-curvature. This important and subtle scalar Riemannian curvature quantity was introduced by Tom Branson about 15 year ago in connection with variational formulas for determinants of conformally covariant differential operators. The book studies structural properties of Q-curvature from an extrinsic point of view...

Uses of Infinity (New Mathematical Library)

The Mathematical Association of America, 1978

This intriguing, accessible work leads readers to an excellent grasp of the fundamental notions of infinity used in the calculus and in virtually all other mathematical disciplines. Designed to make minimal demands on readers’ mathematical abilities, this perceptive volume employs an intuitive and descriptive approach that will appeal to...

Recreations in the Theory of Numbers

Dover Publications, 1964

WHILE the author was a student, an enthusiastic mathematics professor recommended to the class a book entitled Mathematical Recreations and Essays, by W. W. R. Ball. The students dutifully made a note of the title and most of them no doubt promptly forgot about it. Many years later when the book was mentioned to several of the author's own classes,...

Essentials of Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

A complete introduction to the multidisciplinary applications of mathematical methods

In order to work with varying levels of engineering and physics research, it is important to have a firm understanding of key mathematical concepts such as advanced calculus, differential equations, complex analysis, and introductory mathematical...

Schaum's Outline of Theory and Problems of Probability (2nd Edition)

McGraw-Hill, 2000

Schaum's Outline of Probability, Second Edition, focuses on non-calculus probability theory, making it ideal for humanities and science majors who study practical statistics for problem solving. This popular Schaum's study guide provides new material on descriptive statistics, hi-square distribution, and more.

Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers (Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics)

Springer, 2009

Dynamics of Ice Sheets and Glaciers presents an introduction to the dynamics and thermodynamics of flowing ice masses on Earth. Based on an outline of general continuum mechanics, the different initial-boundary-value problems for the flow of ice sheets, ice shelves, ice caps and glaciers are systematically derived. Special emphasis is put on...

Planets and Planetary Systems

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

Planetary Science is an exciting, fast-moving, interdisciplinary field with courses taught in a wide range of departments, including astronomy, physics, chemistry, earth sciences and biology. Planets and Planetary Systems is a well-written, concise introductory textbook on the science of planets within our own and other solar systems.
