The Nine Numbers of the Cosmos

Oxford University Press, 1999

"Drawing upon Descartes's saying, 'What do I know?' Rowan-Robinson asks what we know about the universe. In answer, he has come up with nine numbers that summarize our current understanding of the cosmos. . . . The numbers Rowan-Robinson presents are grounded in scientific research, although more than a little speculation was used in deriving...

Advanced Dynamic-system Simulation: Model-replication Techniques and Monte Carlo Simulation

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Simulation is experimentation with models. This book describes new computer programs for interactive modeling and simulation of dynamic systems, such as aerospace vehicles, control systems, and biological systems.
