Calculus For Dummies

For Dummies, 2003

The mere thought of having to take a required calculus course is enough to make legions of students break out in a cold sweat. Others who have no intention of ever studying the subject have this notion that calculus is impossibly difficult unless you happen to be a direct descendant of Einstein.

Well, the good news is that you...

Gender Issues and Sexuality: Essential Primary Sources

Gale, 2006

Gender Issues and Sexuality: Essential Primary Sources provides insight into the personal, social, and political issues of gender and sexuality—issues that range from what many hold as intimate matters of personal belief to matters that stir, shake, and thus profoundly shape modern society.

The women’s rights and gay...

No Shadow of a Doubt: The 1919 Eclipse That Confirmed Einstein's Theory of Relativity

Princeton Press, 2019

On their 100th anniversary, the story of the extraordinary scientific expeditions that ushered in the era of relativity

In 1919, British scientists led extraordinary expeditions to Brazil and Africa to test Albert Einstein’s revolutionary new theory of general relativity in what became the...

Gravity from the Ground Up: An Introductory Guide to Gravity and General Relativity

Cambridge University Press, 2003

"...the text is...inviting, with exercises that have real-world application, such as exploring the energy of photons that cause sunburn." Stuart J. Goldman, Sky & Telescope

"Delightfully throrough yet easy to read." American Scientist

This book provides an accessible introduction to...

The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)

Cambridge University Press, 1975

"...an excellent set of reviews of some of the most exciting areas of research in gravitational physics...I have not found a comparable compilation of valuable information on the current status of general relativity." American Scientist

Einstein's General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions:...

Mmurtl V1.0

Sams Publishing, 2000

Computer programmers and software engineers work with computer operating systems
every day. They use them, they work with them, and they even work "around" them to
get their jobs done. If you’re an experienced programmer, I’m willing to bet you’ve
pondered changes you would make to operating systems you...

Media Diversity: Economics, Ownership, and the FCC (LEA's Communication Series)

Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2003

Media Diversity: Economics, Ownership, and the FCC provides a detailed analysis of the regulation of diversity and its impact on the structure and practices within the broadcast television industry. As deregulation is quickly changing the media landscape, this volume puts the changing structure of the industry into perspective through the use of an...

3+1 Formalism in General Relativity: Bases of Numerical Relativity (Lecture Notes in Physics, Vol. 846)

Springer, 2012

This graduate-level, course-based text is devoted to the 3+1 formalism of general relativity, which also constitutes the theoretical foundations of numerical relativity. The book starts by establishing the mathematical background (differential geometry, hypersurfaces embedded in space-time, foliation of space-time by a family of space-like...

Bose-Einstein Condensation (The International Series of Monographs on Physics)

Oxford University Press, 2003

This book is an introductory text to the physics of Bose-Einstein condensation. This phenomenon, first predicted by Einstein in 1925 has been realized experimentally in 1995 in a remarkable series of experiments whose importance has been recognized by the award of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics. The condensate is actually a new state of...

Spacetime, Geometry and Gravitation (Progress in Mathematical Physics)

Birkhauser, 2009

Teaching Einstein’s general relativity at introductory level poses problems because students cannot begin to appreciate the basics of the theory unless they learn a sufficient amount of Riemannian geometry. Most elementary books take the easy course of telling the students a few working rules stripping the mathematical details to a minimum...

The Legacy of Albert Einstein: A Collection of Essays in Celebration of the Year of Physics

World Scientific Publishing, 2006

"In this slender volume, about a dozen experts reflect succinctly on a variety of currently interesting topics, from black hole entropy in string theory to the challenge of dark energy. The book should interest primarily graduate students in physics and also some undergraduates ... is a fine reflection of the internationalism of modern science...

The Physical Tourist: A Science Guide for the Traveler

Birkhauser, 2008

Typical travel guides have sections on architecture, art, literature, music and cinema. Rarely are any science-related sites identified. For example, a current travel guide for Germany contains one tidbit on science: Einstein is identified as the most famous citizen of Ulm. By contrast, this travel guide walks a tourist through Berlin and...
