  • Topology and Geometry for Physicists

    • 1st Edition
    • Charles Nash + 1 more
    • English
    Applications from condensed matter physics, statistical mechanics and elementary particle theory appear in the book. An obvious omission here is general relativity--we apologize for this. We originally intended to discuss general relativity. However, both the need to keep the size of the book within the reasonable limits and the fact that accounts of the topology and geometry of relativity are already available, for example, in The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time by S. Hawking and G. Ellis, made us reluctantly decide to omit this topic.
  • Synergetics and Dynamic Instabilities

    • 1st Edition
    • G. Caglioti + 2 more
    • English
    This collection of papers presented at the Enrico Fermi School considers the subject of synergetics as a firmly established field of interdisciplinary research, ranging from physics, chemistry and biology, to subjects like economy and sociology. These proceedings focus on the natural sciences.
  • Neutron Scattering

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 23B
    • English
  • Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 19
    • English
  • Fluid Film Lubrication - Osborne Reynolds Centenary

    FLUID FILM LUBRICATION - OSBORNE REY
    • 1st Edition
    • D. Berthe + 3 more
    • English
    The thirteenth Leeds-Lyon Tribology Symposium was devoted to the topic of Fluid Film Lubrication in celebration of the centenary of the publication of the classical paper by Professor Osborne Reynolds in which he identified the mechanism of hydrodynamic lubrication.These proceedings contain more than seventy papers, written by authors from all over the world, covering the entire spectrum of fluid film lubrication. Of particular interest is the detailed consideration of a wide range of machine elements - bearings, seals, cams, rolling elements, as well as the in-depth, state-of-the-art, analytical contributions.
  • Geophysics Field Measurements

  • Progress in Optics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 24
    • English
    Progress in Optics is a well-established series of volumes of review articles dealing with theoretical and applied optics and related subjects. Widely acclaimed by numerous reviewers as representing an authoritative and up-to-date source of information in all branches of optics, the series continues to fulfil a genuine need within the scientific community. Articles are contributed by leading scientists (including two Nobel Prize winners) chosen by the Editor, with the advice of an international panel of experts constituting the Editorial Advisory Board. Many of the articles appearing in these volumes have since been established as basic references in their respective fields.
  • Geophysics Laboratory Measurements

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 24A
    • English
  • Difference Schemes

    An Introduction to the Underlying Theory
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 19
    • S.K. Godunov + 1 more
    • English
    Much applied and theoretical research in natural sciences leads to boundary-value problems stated in terms of differential equations. When solving these problems with computers, the differential problems are replaced approximately by difference schemes.This book is an introduction to the theory of difference schemes, and was written as a textbook for university mathematics and physics departments and for technical universities. Some sections of the book will be of interest to computations specialists.While stressing a mathematically rigorous treatment of model problems, the book also demonstrates the relation between theory and computer experiments, using difference schemes created for practical computations.
