Selected Papers of Richard Feynman: With Commentary

World Scientific Publishing, 2000

As its title indicates, this volume contains a selection of Feynman's important scientific papers together with short comments. Most of the papers contain pure research, but among them are scattered some articles that are largely pedagogical, such as published lectures that Feynman gave at advanced physics workshops and summer schools. As the...

Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves, Numerical Simulations

John Wiley & Sons, 2001

Electromagnetic wave scattering is an active, interdisciplinary area of research with myriad practical applications in fields ranging from atomic physics to medical imaging to geoscience and remote sensing. In particular, the subject of wave scattering by random discrete scatterers and rough surfaces presents great theoretical challenges due to the...

The Constants of Nature: From Alpha to Omega--the Numbers That Encode the Deepest Secrets of the Universe

Pantheon, 2003

A major contribution to our understanding of the basic laws of the universe -- from the author of The Book of Nothing.

The constants of nature are the fundamental laws of physics that apply throughout the universe: gravity, velocity of light, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. They encode the deepest secrets of the...

Neutrino Oscillations: Present Status and Future Plans

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

This book reviews the status of a very exciting field -- neutrino oscillations -- at a very important time. The fact that neutrinos have mass has only been proved in the last few years and the acceptance of that fact has opened up a whole new area of study to understand the fundamental parameters of the mixing matrix.

The book summarizes the...

Complexity Theory And The Management Of Networks: Proceedings Of The Workshop On Organisational Networks as Distributed Systems of Knowledge University of Lecce, Italy, 2001

Imperial College Press, 2004

This proceedings volume presents a multidisciplinary analysis of modern businesses as complex systems and some managerial implications of managing complex networks in the knowledge economy. It discusses the impact of major forces that are altering today's business landscape, such as sweeping technological changes, unbundling of integrated...

The SIAM 100-Digit Challenge: A Study in High-Accuracy Numerical Computing

SIAM, 2004

"Destined to be a classic of modern computational science... a gourmet feast in ten courses." from the foreword by David H. Bailey, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory."

The authors, members of teams that solved all 10 problems, show in detail multiple approaches for solving each problem,...

The Philosophy of Mathematical Practice

Oxford University Press, 2008

Contemporary philosophy of mathematics offers us an embarrassment of riches. Among the major areas of work one could list developments of the classical foundational programs, analytic approaches to epistemology and ontology of mathematics, and developments at the intersection of history and philosophy of mathematics. But anyone familiar with...

When Least Is Best: How Mathematicians Discovered Many Clever Ways to Make Things as Small (or as Large) as Possible

Princeton Press, 2007

This book was terrific fun to read! I thought I would skim the chapters to write my review, but I was hooked by the preface, and read through the first 100 pages in one sitting... [Nahin shows] obvious delight and enjoyment--he is having fun and it is contagious. -- Bonnie Shulman MAA Online When Least is Best is clearly the result of immense...

The Great Beyond: Higher Dimensions, Parallel Universes and the Extraordinary Search for a Theory of Everything

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

It is among the most elegant, radical, and tantalizing theories ever to be fashioned by the keen lathe of mathematical insight. For the better part of two centuries, the notion of higher dimensions beyond space and time has fueled the imaginations of scientists, writers, occultists, and more than a few con artists.

By turns...

100 Greatest Science Discoveries of All Time

Libraries Unlimited, 2007

Throughout history, science has changed lives and dramatically altered the way in which the universe is perceived. Focusing on the 100 most significant scientific events of all time--from Archimedes' discovery of the two fundamental principles underlying physics and engineering (levers and buoyancy) in 260 B.C.E. to human anatomy, Jupiter's moons,...
