High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics
Pages: 272,
Specialty: Physics,
Publisher: Springer,
Publication Year: 2005,
Cover: Paperback,
Dimensions: 126x196x20mm
Was there a beginning of time? Could time run backwards? Is the universe infinite or does it have boundaries? These are just some of the questions considered in an internationally acclaimed masterpiece by one of the world's greatest thinkers. It begins by reviewing the great theories of the cosmos from Newton to Einstein, before delving into the secrets which still lie at the heart of space and time, from the Big Bang to black holes, via spiral galaxies and strong theory. To this day A Brief History of Time remains a staple of the scientific canon, and its succinct and clear language continues to introduce millions to the universe and its wonders. This new edition includes updates from Stephen Hawking with his latest thoughts about the No Boundary Proposal and offers new information about dark energy, the information paradox, eternal inflation, the microwave background radiation observations, and the discovery of gravitational waves. It is published to accompany the launch of a new app, Stephen Hawking's Pocket Universe.show more

Hyperbolic Conservation Laws in Continuum Physics
Pages: 645,
Specialty: Physics,
Publisher: Springer,
Publication Year: 2005,
Cover: Hardback,
Dimensions: 164x238x40mm
This masterly exposition of the mathematical theory of hyperbolic system laws brings out the intimate connection with continuum thermodynamics, emphasizing issues in which the analysis may reveal something about the physics and, in return, the underlying physical structure may direct and drive the analysis. The reader should have a certain mathematical sophistication and be familiar with the rudiments of the qualitative theory of partial differential equations, whereas the required notions from continuum physics are introduced from scratch. The 2nd edition contains a new chapter recounting the exciting recent developments on the vanishing viscosity method; numerous new sections have been incorporated in preexisting chapters, to introduce newly derived results or present older material, omitted in the 1st edition. In addition, a substantial portion of the original text has been reorganized so as to streamline the exposition, enrich the collection of examples and improve the notation. The bibliography has been updated and expanded, now comprising over one thousand titles.show more

Introduction to Vibrations and Waves
Pages: 368,
Specialty: Physics,
Publisher: Wiley,
Publication Year: 2015,
Cover: Paperback,
Dimensions: 187.96x243.84x20.32mm
Based on the successful multi-edition book The Physics of Vibrations and Waves by John Pain, the authors carry over the simplicity and logic of the approach taken in the original first edition with its focus on the patterns underlying and connecting so many aspects of physical behavior, whilst bringing the subject up-to-date so it is relevant to teaching in the 21st century. The transmission of energy by wave propagation is a key concept that has applications in almost every branch of physics with transmitting mediums essentially acting as a continuum of coupled oscillators. The characterization of these simple oscillators in terms of three parameters related to the storage, exchange, and dissipation of energy forms the basis of this book. The text moves naturally on from a discussion of basic concepts such as damped oscillations, diffraction and interference to more advanced topics such as transmission lines and attenuation, wave guides, diffusion, Fourier series, and electromagnetic waves in dielectrics and conductors. Throughout the text the emphasis on the underlying principles helps readers to develop their physics insight as an aid to problem solving. This book provides undergraduate students of physics and engineering with the mathematical tools required for full mastery of the concepts. With worked examples presented throughout the text, as well as the Problem sets concluding each chapter, this textbook will enable students to develop their skills and measure their understanding of each topic step-by-step. A companion website is also available, which includes solutions to chapter problems and PowerPoint slides. Review of The Physics of Vibrations and Waves 6e This is an excellent textbook, full of interesting material clearly explained and fully worthy of being studied by future contributors ..."
