A Career in Theoretical Physicsby P W Anderson
World Scientific 1994; US$ 124.80Theoretical physicist and Nobel Laureate Philip Anderson has been described as one of the most imaginative of condensed matter physicists working today. His achievements have not merely constituted significant discoveries in their own right, but have also frequently set the agenda for the work of others. His pioneering contributions include the Anderson model of magnetic impurities and the concept of localisation, both of which were mentioned in his Nobel Prize citation. He also worked on the study of spin glasses, the fluctuating valence problem and superexchange. He predicted the existence of superfluidity in He-3 and provided a microscopic explanation, and was involved in the discovery of the Josephson effect. more...
Knots And Physics (Third Edition)by L H Kauffman
World Scientific 2001; US$ 162.50This invaluable book is an introduction to knot and link invariants as generalised amplitudes for a quasi-physical process. The demands of knot theory, coupled with a quantum-statistical framework, create a context that naturally and powerfully includes an extraordinary range of interrelated topics in topology and mathematical physics. The author takes a primarily combinatorial stance toward knot theory and its relations with these subjects. This stance has the advantage of providing direct access to the algebra and to the combinatorial topology, as well as physical ideas. more...
Fundamentals of the Finite Element Method for Heat and Fluid Flowby R. W. Lewis; Perumal Nithiarasu; Kankanhalli Seetharamu
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 155.00Heat transfer is the area of engineering science which describes the energy transport between material bodies due to a difference in temperature. The three different modes of heat transport are conduction, convection and radiation. In most problems, these three modes exist simultaneously. However, the significance of these modes depends on the problems studied and often, insignificant modes are neglected. Very often books published on Computational Fluid Dynamics using the Finite Element Method give very little or no significance to thermal or heat transfer problems. From the research point of view, it is important to explain the handling of various types of heat transfer problems with different types of complex boundary conditions. Problems... more...
Nonlinear Physics For Beginnersby L Lam
World Scientific 1998; US$ 110.50Almost all real systems are nonlinear. For a nonlinear system the superposition principle breaks down: The system's response is not proportional to the stimulus it receives; the whole is more than the sum of its parts. The three parts of this book contains the basics of nonlinear science, with applications in physics. Part I contains an overview of fractals, chaos, solitons, pattern formation, cellular automata and complex systems. In Part II, 14 reviews and essays by pioneers, as well as 10 research articles are reprinted. Part III collects 17 students projects, with computer algorithms for simulation models included. more...
Quantum Groups and Lie Theoryby Andrew Pressley; J. W. S. Cassels
Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 70.00This book comprises an overview of the material presented at the 1999 Durham Symposium on Quantum Groups and includes contributions from many of the world's leading figures in this area. It will be of interest to researchers and will also be useful as a reference text for graduate courses. more...
Soliton Equations and their Algebro-Geometric Solutions: Volume 1, (1+1)-Dimensional Continuous Modelsby Fritz Gesztesy; Helge Holden; B. Bollobas; W. Fulton; A. Katok; F. Kirwan; P. Sarnak
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 131.00The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV), the AKNS, the nonlinear Schrödinger, the sine-Gordon and the Camassa-Holm equations, and the Thirring system, are all completely integrable nonlinear PDEs permitting special classes of solutions. This is a detailed treatment of the class of algebro-geometric solutions and their representations in terms of Riemann theta functions. more...
