Einstein did not believe that "God plays dice". He laid the foundations for today's thinking that the universe is governed by the immutable laws of physics - there is no room for chance. But these foundations may be built on sand. The new science of chaos is forcing scientists to rethink even the most fundamental ideas about the way in which the universe behaves. Chaos theory has already shown that systems obeying precise laws can nevertheless act in a random manner. "Does God Play Dice?" explai...
Like Douglas Hofstadter’s Gödel, Escher, Bach, and David Berlinski’s A Tour of the Calculus, Euclid in the Rainforest combines the literary with the mathematical to explore logic—the one indispensable tool in man’s quest to understand the world. Underpinning both math and science, it is the foundation of every major advancement in knowledge since the time of the ancient Greeks. Through adventure stories and historical narratives populated with a rich and quirky cast of characters, Mazur artfully...
Geometry and Representation Theory of Real and P-Adic Groups (Progress in Mathematics, #158)
The representation theory of Lie groups plays a central role in both clas sical and recent developments in many parts of mathematics and physics. In August, 1995, the Fifth Workshop on Representation Theory of Lie Groups and its Applications took place at the Universidad Nacional de Cordoba in Argentina. Organized by Joseph Wolf, Nolan Wallach, Roberto Miatello, Juan Tirao, and Jorge Vargas, the workshop offered expository courses on current research, and individual lectures on more specialized...

An Introduction to Functional Analysis in Computational Mathematics
by V.I. Lebedev
The book contains the methods and bases of functional analysis that are directly adjacent to the problems of numerical mathematics and its applications; they are what one needs for the understand ing from a general viewpoint of ideas and methods of computational mathematics and of optimization problems for numerical algorithms. Functional analysis in mathematics is now just the small visible part of the iceberg. Its relief and summit were formed under the influence of this author's personal exp...

The ideal portable companion, the world-renowned Collins Gem series returns with a fresh new look and updated material. This is the perfect pocket guide for keen birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts to identify the most commonly seen species in Britain and Europe. Authoritative text and beautiful photographs show the distinguishing features of each bird, including notes on appearance, colour and distinctive features, and information on juveniles, range and habitat, nests, call and breeding site...
This introductory book is organized around a collection of simple experiments which the reader can perform at home or in a classroom setting. Methods for physically exploring the intrinsic geometry of commonplace curved objects (such as bowls, balls and watermelons) are described. The concepts of Gaussian curvature, parallel transport, and geodesics are treated.

Discrete Iterations (Springer Series in Computational Mathematics, #6) (Biomathematics, #6)
by Francois Robert
a c 9 h In presenting this monograph, I would like to indicate both its orientation as well as my personal reasons for being interested in discrete iterations (that is, iterations on a generally very large,jinite set). While working in numerical analysis I have been interested in two main aspects: - the algorithmic aspect: an iterative algorithm is a mathematical entity which behaves in a dynamic fashion. Even if it is started far from a solution, it will often tend to get closer and closer. - t...

Electron Spectrum of Gapless Semiconductors (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences, #116)
by J. Tsidilkovski
A presentation of the peculiarities of the physical properties of a comparatively new class of solids. GSs are of practical interest since they are very sensitive to impurities, and to the influence of light, magnetic and electric fields, and to pressure.
The Collected Mathematical Papers of Arthur Cayley, Volume 2
by Arthur Cayley
Dies ist das dritte Buch der Autoren über Faserverbundbauweisen. Das erste befaßte sich mit den grundlegenderen Fasern und Matrices, das zweite beschreibt genauso detailliert und aktuell die im Fertigungsprozeß eine Stufe weiter stehenden Halbzeuge und Bauweisen. Dieser Band behandelt die speziellen Fertigungsverfahren für Faserverbundbauweisen mit Duroplastmatrix. Besonders angesprochen ist die chemische Industrie, Fahrzeug- und Flugzeugbauer sowie andere Industrien, die Leichtbaumaterialien ei...
