Pattern Recognition From Classical to Modern Approaches

World Scientific Publishing, 2002

Recognizing patterns is at the core of man's attempts to understand the universe that we inhabit. Through the development of sensors and instruments, we have extended our ability to gather data far beyond the range and scale of man's natural senses. As a result we are now able to gather data on phenomena occurring in the far reaches...

Gauge Field Theories: An Introduction with Applications

John Wiley & Sons, 1991

Over the last two decades a revolution has taken place concerning the way physicists view the fundamental processes taking place in our universe. This revolution has its basis in the belief that all fundamental interactions are associated with a particularly beautiful and powerful kind of quantum field theory-a theory of local gauge fields. This...
