Hypernumbers and Extrafunctions: Extending the Classical Calculus (SpringerBriefs in Mathematics)

Springer, 2012

“Hypernumbers and Extrafunctions” presents a rigorous mathematical approach to operate with infinite values. First, concepts of real and complex numbers are expanded to include a new universe of numbers called hypernumbers which includes infinite quantities. This brief extends classical calculus based on real functions by...

Holy Sci-Fi!: Where Science Fiction and Religion Intersect (Science and Fiction)

Springer, 2014

Can a computer have a soul? Are religion and science mutually exclusive? Is there really such a thing as free will? If you could time travel to visit Jesus, would you (and should you)? For hundreds of years, philosophers, scientists and science fiction writers have pondered these questions and many more.

In Holy Sci-Fi!,...

Quantum Gravitation: The Feynman Path Integral Approach

Springer, 2008

The book covers the theory of Quantum Gravitation from the point of view of Feynman path integrals. These provide a manifestly covariant approach in which fundamental quantum aspects of the theory such as radiative corrections and the renormalization group can be systematically and consistently addressed. The path integral method is suitable for...

Path Integrals in Physics Volume 2: Quantum Field Theory, Statistical Physics & Other Modern Applications

Taylor & Francis, 2001

This book covers the fundamentals of path integrals, both the Wiener and Feynman types, and their many applications in physics. It deals with systems that have an infinite number of degrees of freedom. The book discusses the general physical background and concepts of the path integral approach used, followed by the most typical and important...

Path Integrals in Physics Volume 1: Stochastic Process & Quantum Mechanics

Taylor & Francis, 2001

The importance of path-integral methods in theoretical physics can hardly be disputed. Their applications in most branches of modern physics have proved to be extremely fruitful not only for solving already existing problems but also as a guide for the formulation and development of essentially new ideas and approaches in the description of...

Selected Papers of Richard Feynman: With Commentary (World Scientific Series in 20th Century Physics)

World Scientific Publishing, 2000

These scientific papers of Richard Feynman are renowned for their brilliant content and the author s striking original style. They are grouped by topic: path integral approach to the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, renormalized quantum electrodynamics, theory of superfluid liquid helium, theory of the Fermi...

Imagining the Tenth Dimension: A New Way of Thinking About Time and Space

Trafford Publishing, 2006

Reality, today's physicists tell us, is created by the vibrations of exquisitely tiny superstrings in ten spatial dimensions. Ten dimensions? Most of us have barely gotten used to the idea that there are four.

Using simple geometry and an easygoing writing style, author Rob Bryanton starts with the lower dimensions that we are...

Quantum Leap: From Dirac and Feynman, Across the Universe, to Human Body and Mind

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

This is a unique 21st-century monograph that reveals a basic, yet deep understanding of the universe, as well as the human mind and body all from the perspective of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.

This book starts with both non-mathematical and mathematical preliminaries. It presents the basics of both non-relativistic and...

Path Integrals and Quantum Anomalies (The International Series of Monographs on Physics)

Oxford University Press, 2004

`Definitely a book that will fill a need at the graduate and research level. ' Ian Aitchison, University of Oxford

`An excellent addition to the literature by one of the pioneers in understanding anomalies. ' Roman Jackiw, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The Feynman path integrals are becoming...

Great Physicists: The Life and Times of Leading Physicists from Galileo to Hawking

Oxford University Press, 2001

Here is a lively history of modern physics, as seen through the lives of thirty men and women from the pantheon of physics.

William H. Cropper vividly portrays the life and accomplishments of such giants as Galileo and Isaac Newton, Marie Curie and Ernest Rutherford, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, right up to contemporary figures...

The Character of Physical Law (Messenger Lectures, 1964)

MIT Press, 2001

In these Messenger Lectures, originally delivered at Cornell University and recorded for television by the BBC, Richard Feynman offers an overview of selected physical laws and gathers their common features into one broad principle of invariance. He maintains at the outset that the importance of a physical law is not "how clever...

Minds, Machines, and the Multiverse: The Quest for the Quantum Computer

Simon & Schuster, 2000

Just how smart can computers get? Science journalist Julian Brown takes a hard look at the spooky world of quantum computation in Minds, Machines, and the Multiverse--and his report is optimistic. Based in large part on the groundbreaking work of David Deutsch, the book mostly sidesteps the shouting matches of the AI debate and...
