Relativity (Routledge Classics)

Routledge, 2001

How better to learn the Special Theory of Relativity and the General Theory of Relativity than directly from their creator, Albert Einstein himself? In Relativity: The Special and the General Theory, Einstein describes the theories that made him famous, illuminating his case with numerous examples and a smattering of math (nothing more...

Einstein, Physics and Reality

World Scientific Publishing, 1999

Albert Einstein was one of the principal founders of the quantum and relativity theories. Until 1925, when the Bose-Einstein statistics was discovered, he made great contributions to the foundations of quantum theory. However, after the discovery of quantum mechanics by Heisenberg and wave mechanics by Schrodinger, with the consequent...

Windows XP Just the Steps For Dummies

For Dummies, 2004

Windows XP is a very robust piece of software with about as much functionality
as Einstein on a good day. If you own a Windows XP computer (and I
assume you do, or you should rush to the computer store pronto), you
spend a lot of time everyday in the Windows XP environment. Knowing how
to harness the power of...

Quantum Optics (Oxford Graduate Texts)

Oxford University Press, 2008

Quantum optics, i.e. the interaction of individual photons with matter, began with the discoveries of Planck and Einstein, but in recent years, it has expanded beyond pure physics to become an important driving force for technological innovation. This book serves the broader readership growing out of this development by starting with an elementary...

Theory of Relativity

Dover Publications, 1981

THIRTY-FIVE years ago this article on the theory of relativity, written by me at the rather young age of 21 years for the Mathematical Encyclopedia, was first published as a separate monograph together with a preface by Sommerfeld, who as the editor of this volume of the Encyclopedia was responsible for my authorship. It was the aim of the...

Gravitation (Physics Series)

W. H. Freeman, 1973

This is a textbook on gravitation physics (Einstein's "general relativity" or "geometrodynamics"). It supplies two tracks through the subject. The first track is focused on the key physical ideas. It assumes, as mathematical prerequisite, only vector analysis and simple partial-differential equations. It is suitable for a...

Black Hole Physics - Basic Concepts and New Developments (Fundamental Theories of Physics)

Springer, 1998

It is not an exaggeration to say that one of the most exciting predictions of Einstein's theory of gravitation is that there may exist "black holes": putative objects whose gravitational fields are so strong that no physical bodies or signals can break free of their pull and escape. The proof that black holes do exist, and an analysis of...

Exploring Black Holes: Introduction to General Relativity

Benjamin Cummings, 2000

A concise, direct examination of general relativity and black holes, Exploring Black Holes provides tools that motivate tools that motivate readers to become active participants in carrying out their own investigations about curved spacetime near earth and black holes. The authors use calculus and algebra to make general relativity...

Acne For Dummies (Health & Fitness)

For Dummies, 2006

Acne is the most common skin disease in the United States, affecting more than 60 million adults and teenagers each year. Acne For Dummies addresses the causes of acne, and, most importantly, what can safely be done to cover it up, treat it, and minimize scarring. The book covers everything from daily skin care, over-the-counter acne preparations,...

Introduction to Computer Performance Analysis With Mathematica (Computer Science and Scientific Computing)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 1994

This book has been written as a beginner’s guide to computer performance analysis. For those who work in a predominantly IBM environment the typical job titles of those who would benefit from this book are Manager of Performance and Capacity Planning, Performance Specialist, Capacity Planner, or System Programmer. For Hewlett-Packard...

Principles of Solid Mechanics

CRC Press, 2000

There is no area of applied science more diverse and powerful than the mechanics of deformable solids nor one with a broader and richer history. From Galileo and Hooke through Coulomb, Maxwell, and Kelvin to von Neuman and Einstein, the question of how solids behave for structural applications has been a basic theme for physical research exciting...
