Integrable models in statistical mechanics and quantum field theory constitute a rich research field at the crossroads of modern mathematics and theoretical physics. An important issue to understand is the space of local operators in the system and, ultimately, their correlation functions and form factors. This book is the first published ......
This book will greatly benefit professionals and researchers involved in lake management, remediation, or investigation of lake systems, and can be used as is or integrated within graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in limnology.
The Extraordinary Story of the Higgs Boson and Other Stuff That Will Blow Your Mind
Since 2008 scientists have conducted experiments in a hyperenergized, 17-mile supercollider beneath the border of France and Switzerland. The Large Hadron Collider (or what scientists call ""the LHC"") is one of the wonders of the modern world'a highly sophisticated scientific instrument designed to re-create in miniature the conditions of the ......
"In the judgment of the most competent living mathematicians, Fräulein Noether was the most significant creative mathematical genius thus far produced since the higher education of women began." Albert Einstein
The year was 1915, and the young mathematician Emmy Noether had just settled into Göttingen ......
This book is about having ideas anda much longer haulmaking them work. David Jones, best known for his Daedalus column, tells many stories about creators and their creations, including his own fantastical-seeming contributions to mainstream sciencesuch as unrideable bicycles and chemical gardens in space. His theory of creativity endows each of ......
Presents Newton's mathematical principles relating to natural philosophy and his system of the world. This book includes chapters relative to the motion of bodies; motion of bodies in resisting mediums; and system of the world in mathematical treatment; a section on axioms or laws of motion, and definitions.
Understanding tensors is essential for any physics student dealing with phenomena where causes and effects have different directions. A horizontal electric field producing vertical polarisation in dielectrics; an unbalanced car wheel wobbling in the vertical plane while spinning about a horizontal axis; an electrostatic field on Earth observed to ......
How do students learn about physics without picking up a 1,000-page textbook chock-full of complicated equations? The Physicist's World is the answer. Here, Thomas Grissom explains clearly and succinctly what physics really is: the science of understanding how everything in the universe moves.From the earliest efforts by Presocratic philosophers ......
