Geometric Computing: for Wavelet Transforms, Robot Vision, Learning, Control and Action

Springer, 2010

Geometric algebra (GA) is a powerful new mathematical system for computational geometry. Although its origins can be traced back to Hermann Grassmann (1844), its development as a language for space–time geometry with applications to all of physics did not begin until 1966. Suddenly, in the year 2000 it was recognized that a specialized...

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...

Schrodinger's Rabbits: The Many Worlds of Quantum

Joseph Henry Press, 2004

"Usually quantum fuzziness appears only in ultratiny arenas, on a scale smaller than a golf ball to the degree that the golf ball is smaller than Texas. But nowadays, in labs around the world, scientists are plotting to release quantum weirdness from its subatomic prison. Before too long, quantum news won't be just for the science section...

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...

Introduction to Numerical Geodynamic Modelling

Cambridge University Press, 2010

Numerical modelling of geodynamic processes was predominantly the domain of high-level mathematicians experienced in numerical and computational techniques. Now, for the first time, students and new researchers in the Earth Sciences can learn the basic theory and applications from a single, accessible reference text. Assuming only minimal...

The Mechanics of Piezoelectric Structures

World Scientific Publishing, 2006

This book is a natural continuation of the author's previous book, "v4w Introduction to the Theory of Piezoelectricity" (Springer, New York, 2005), which discusses the three-dimensional theory of piezoelectricity. Three-dimensional theory presents complicated mathematical problems due to the anisotropy of...

Create Your Own Digital Photography

Sams Publishing, 2005

You purchased a digital camera to join the digital revolution. Yet you find yourself still using disposables because your digital camera is too complicated and you don't even know where to start to figure out how to use it. That's where Create Your Own Digital Photography comes in. From...

The Mac Hacker's Handbook

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

As more and more vulnerabilities are found in the Mac OS X (Leopard) operating system, security researchers are realizing the importance of developing proof-of-concept exploits for those vulnerabilities. This unique tome is the first book to uncover the flaws in the Mac OS X operating system—and how to deal with them. Written by two white hat...

Head First Physics: A learner's companion to mechanics and practical physics

O'Reilly, 2008

Wouldn't it be great if there were a physics book that showed you how things work instead of telling you how? Finally, with Head First Physics, there is. This comprehensive book takes the stress out of learning mechanics and practical physics by providing a fun and engaging experience, especially for students who "just...

Statistical Approach to Quantum Field Theory: An Introduction (Lecture Notes in Physics)

Springer, 2012

Over the past few decades the powerful methods of statistical physics and Euclidean quantum field theory have moved closer together, with common tools based on the use of path integrals. The interpretation of Euclidean field theories as particular systems of statistical physics has opened up new avenues for understanding strongly coupled...
