Picturing Machines 1400-1700 (Transformations: Studies in the History of Science and Technology)

MIT Press, 2004

Technical drawings by the architects and engineers of the Renaissance made use of a range of new methods of graphic representation. These drawingsÐ²Ð”among them Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawings of mechanical devicesÐ²Ð”have long been studied for their aesthetic qualities and technological ingenuity, but their significance...

Introduction to the Perturbation Theory of Hamiltonian Systems (Springer Monographs in Mathematics)

Springer, 2009

This book presents the basic methods of regular perturbation theory of Hamiltonian systems, including KAM-theory, splitting of asymptotic manifolds, the separatrix map, averaging, anti-integrable limit, etc. in a readable way. Despite its small size, it discusses all main aspects of the basic modern theory of perturbed Hamiltonian systems and...

Real Analysis and Applications: Theory in Practice (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

Springer, 2009

This new approach to real analysis stresses the use of the subject in applications, by showing how the principles and theory of real analysis can be applied in a variety of settings in subjects ranging from Fourier series and polynomial approximation to discrete dynamical systems and nonlinear optimization. Users will be prepared for more...

Mechanical Behaviour of Engineering Materials: Metals, Ceramics, Polymers, and Composites

Springer, 2007

Components used in mechanical engineering usually have to bear high mechanical loads. It is, thus, of considerable importance for students of mechanical engineering and materials science to thoroughly study the mechanical behaviour of materials. There are different approaches to this subject: The engineer is mainly interested in design rules to...

Principles of Turbomachinery - Second Edition

Springer, 1994

Pumps, fans, compressors and turbines are essential components in all engineering complexes. This book explains the basic fluid mechanics and thermodynamics underlying their design in a clear and uncomplicated way, with many examples and worked exercises. A wealth of problems and solutions are also included in the book to assist students....

Origins and Foundations of Computing: In Cooperation with Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum

Springer, 2009

The book examines how intellectual developments in logic and mathematics were gradually matched by technical solutions in first mechanics and then electronics, and how the resulting machines found application in engineering, science and business.

The author was among the pioneers of computing science, and he offers a personal and...

Theoretical Foundations of Quantum Information Processing and Communication: Selected Topics (Lecture Notes in Physics)

Springer, 2009

Based on eight extensive lectures selected from those given at the renowned Chris Engelbrecht Summer School in Theoretical Physics in South Africa, this text on the theoretical foundations of quantum information processing and communication covers an array of topics, including quantum probabilities, open systems, and non-Markovian dynamics and...

Foundations of Quantum Physics (Frontiers in Physics)

W. A. Benjamin, 1976

The content of this book has been used for courses on the foundations of quantum physics in Geneva and other places. It is designed to serve as a textbook for graduate students.

Descartes on Forms and Mechanisms

Cambridge University Press, 2009

The modern view of causation can be traced back to the mechanistic science of Descartes, whose rejection of Aristotelian physics, with its concept of substantial forms, in favor of mechanical explanations was a turning-point in the history of philosophy. However the reasoning which led Descartes and other early moderns in this direction is not well...
