Physics

A concise introduction to the methods and algorithms used in computational physics, clear in its presentation, useful for those beginning more advanced work in the field. It's also for graduate students of physical and mathematical faculties as well as for specialists in the field of numerical mathematics and mathematical modeling.

While much has been written on the ramifications of Newton's dynamics, until now the details of Newton's solution were available only to the physics expert. The Key to Newton's Dynamics clearly explains the surprisingly simple analytical structure that underlies the determination of the force necessary to maintain ideal planetary motion. J. Bruce Brackenridge sets the problem in historical and conceptual perspective, showing the physicist's debt to the works of both Descartes and Galileo.

From the age of Galileo until the early years of the 20th century, scientists grappled with seemingly insurmountable paradoxes inherent in the theories of classical physics. With the publication of Albert Einstein's "special" and "general" theories of relativity, however, traditional approaches to solving the riddles of space and time crumbled. In their place stood a radically new view of the physical world, providing answers to many of the unsolved mysteries of pre-Einsteinian physics.

Develop Intuitive Ability to Identify and Avoid Physically Meaningless Predictions. Modern computer simulations make stress analysis easy. This book is a powerful tool for understanding how to take advantage of these revolutionary computer advances in the field of solid mechanics.

This open access textbook takes the reader step-by-step through the concepts of mechanics in a clear and detailed manner. Mechanics is considered to be the core of physics, where a deep understanding of the concepts is essential in understanding all branches of physics.

The development and operation of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) have resulted in many rich legacies, most particularly in science and technology-but in culture as well. It is also the first telescope in space that has been utilized as effectively as if it were situated on a mountaintop here on earth, accessible for repair and improvement when needed.

This open access textbook focuses on the various aspects of radiobiology. The goal of radiobiological research is to better understand the effects of radiation exposure at the cellular and molecular levels in order to determine the impact on health.

This book presents the deterministic view of quantum mechanics developed by Nobel Laureate Gerard 't Hooft. The author gives examples of models that are classical in essence, but can be analysed by the use of quantum techniques. Quantum mechanics is viewed as a tool rather than a theory.

This book provides readers with a concise introduction to current studies on operator-algebras and their generalizations, operator spaces and operator systems, with a special focus on their application in Quantum Information Science.

Marie Curie discovered radium and went on to lead the scientific community in studying the theory behind and the uses of radioactivity. She left a vast legacy to future scientists through her research, her teaching, and her contributions to the welfare of humankind.
