  • Lenses and wavesby Fokko Jan Dijksterhuis

    Springer 2004; US$ 159.00

    In 1690, Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695) published Traité de la Lumière, containing his renowned wave theory of light. It is considered a landmark in seventeenth-century science, for the way Huygens mathematized the corpuscular nature of light and his probabilistic conception of natural knowledge. This book discusses the development of Huygens' wave... more...

  • Numerical Models For Printing And Coating Flowsby D.T. Gethin

    Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2002; US$ 199.00

    This issue brings together a number of papers under the theme of thin film flows that are generic to printing and a wide range of coating applications. These processes require the deposition of a thin layer of fluid (or polymer) onto a substrate. The simulation of these processes presents a number of numerical challenges. more...

  • Selected Papers From His-01 Conference On Heating By Internal Sources, Padova, Italyby Fabrizio Dughiero; Sergio Lupi

    Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2003; US$ 199.00

    Over the last 10 years the attention of the scientific and industrial research has been focused, with increasing interest, on the Applied MHD Technologies (Albano et al., 2000; Garnier, 2000; Li et al., 1996; Tani et al., 2000). Several applications, such as Electromagnetic Stirring, Braking and Shaping, have been studied in order to improve the steel... more...

  • The Role of Mathematics in Physical Sciencesby Giovanni Boniolo; Paolo Budinich; Majda Trobok

    Springer 2005; US$ 89.99

    Even though mathematics and physics have been related for centuries and this relation appears to be unproblematic, there are many questions still open: Is mathematics really necessary for physics, or could physics exist without mathematics? Should we think physically and then add the mathematics apt to formalise our physical intuition, or should we... more...

  • An Introduction to Experimental Physicsby Colin Cooke

    Taylor & Francis 1996; US$ 29.95

    Understanding, designing and conducting experiments is at the heart of science. This text introduces the fundamental principles on which physicists should build a thorough experimental approach to their discipline. more...

  • Interferogram Analysis For Optical Testingby Daniel Malacara

    CRC Press 2005; US$ 199.95

    Updating their work to account for recent trends in the field, the authors (all of the Centro de Investigaciones de Optica, Mexico) present an introduction to and overview of optical testing interferometers, which are use for measuring wavefront deformations on small scales. They provide comparison of the main interferometric systems and review the more...

  • Laser-Induced Damage of Optical Materialsby Roger M. Wood

    CRC Press 2003; US$ 107.95

    Understanding damage mechanisms is fundamental to good design of laser products operating at high power. This work describes how the physical and chemical properties of laser materials combine to affect the power and energy handling capabilities of these materials and the systems they are used for. more...

  • Light and Darkby David Greene

    CRC Press 2002; US$ 41.95

    The wide range of topics in this book are linked by the theme of the title. It looks at many familiar phenomena, such as the variations in the duration of twighlight through the year and the ability of human vision to misinterpret patterns of lines under certain conditions. more...

  • On the Metaphysics of Experimental Physicsby Professor Karl Rogers

    Palgrave Macmillan 2005; US$ 109.00

    This provocative and critical work addresses the question of why scientific realists and positivists consider experimental physics to be a natural and empirical science. Taking insights from contemporary science studies, continental philosophy, and the history of physics, this book describes and analyses the metaphysical presuppositions that underwrite... more...

  • Thin Film Optical Filtersby H. Angus Macleod

    CRC Press 2001; US$ 173.95

    This work is an introduction to thin-film optical filters. It provides a unified treatment of the design, manufacture, performance and application of optical thin films, and includes the mathematics necessary for thin-film calculations. more...
