Digital Photographic Capture

Focal Press, 2005

The major function of photography is to capture a picture from what is in front of you. Whether a picture of the family pet or advertising spread, the acquisition of the scene is the first step in the digital image process. Digital Photographic Capture takes that first step and it breaks it down in detail so you can understand and better manipulate...

The Light Fantastic: A Modern Introduction to Classical and Quantum Optics

Oxford University Press, 2008

"Provides a nice mix of elementary physical optics with practical and exciting applications."--Stephen Barnett, University of Strathclyde

This book presents a thorough and self-contained introduction to modern optics, covering in full the three components ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. The text covers all...

The Dragonfly Effect: Quick, Effective, and Powerful Ways To Use Social Media to Drive Social Change

Jossey-Bass, 2010

Proven strategies for harnessing the power of social media to drive social change

Many books teach the mechanics of using Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to compete in business. But no book addresses how to harness the incredible power of social media to make a difference. The Dragonfly Effect shows you how to tap...

Partial Differential Equations in Fluid Dynamics

Cambridge University Press, 2008

This book is concerned with partial differential equations applied to fluids problems in science and engineering. This work is designed for two potential audiences. First, this book can function as a text for a course in mathematical methods in fluid mechanics in non-mathematics departments or in mathematics service courses. The authors have taught...

Relativistic Quantum Chemistry: The Fundamental Theory of Molecular Science

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

A relativistic consistent quantum-theoretical description of electronic bound states in atoms was first introduced in atomic physics as early as the late 1920s and has been pushed forward since that time. It was believed, however, that effects stemming from Einstein’s theory of relativity were of little or even no importance to chemistry....

Elements of Quantum Computing: History, Theories and Engineering Applications

Springer, 2014

A quantum computer is a computer based on a computational model which uses quantum mechanics, which is a subfield of physics to study phenomena at the micro level. There has been a growing interest on quantum computing in the 1990's and some quantum computers at the experimental level were recently implemented. Quantum computers enable...

Strength and Stiffness of Engineering Systems (Mechanical Engineering Series)

Springer, 2009

This book is a modern version of classical Strength of Materials adapted to meet the needs of developing technology with its emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches. Subjects such as plasticity, fracture, composite materials, energy approaches and mechanics of microdevices (MEMs) are integrated into a unified text. In this way, the slow build up...

Processes and mechanisms of welding residual stress and distortion

CRC Press, 2005

As a fabrication technology, welding presents a number of technical challenges to the designer, manufacturer, and end-user of the welded structures. Both weld residual stress and distortion can significantly impair the performance and reliability of the welded structures. They must be properly dealt with during design, fabrication, and...

Advanced Vibrations: A Modern Approach

Springer, 2012

This book is for designers, partition engineers, and student of engineering. It introduces the fundamental knowledge used in mechanical vibrations. This knowledge can be utilized to develop computer programs for analyzing, designing, and optimization of vibration problems in industrial systems.

Vibrations have been...

Digraphs: Theory, Algorithms and Applications (Springer Monographs in Mathematics)

Springer, 2010

Substantially revised, reorganised and updated, the second edition now comprises eighteen chapters, carefully arranged in a straightforward and logical manner, with many new results and open problems.

As well as covering the theoretical aspects of the subject, with detailed proofs of many important results, the authors present...

Euler as Physicist

Springer, 2008

The subject of the book is the development of physics in the 18th century centred upon the fundamental contributions of Leonhard Euler to physics and mathematics.Classical mechanics will be reconstructed in terms of the program initiated by Euler in 1736 and its completion over the following decades until 1760.

It is of particular interest to...

Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations with Applications (International Series of Numerical Mathematics)

Birkhauser, 2013

This book primarily concerns quasilinear and semilinear elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations, inequalities, and systems. The exposition leads the reader through the general theory based on abstract (pseudo-) monotone or accretive operators as fast as possible towards the analysis of concrete differential equations, which have...
