World Scientific Europe Ltd Newtonian Mechanics For Undergraduates
Book SynopsisNewtonian mechanics is a cornerstone topic in physics. Regardless of the path an aspiring physicist takes, an intimate and intuitive understanding of how objects behave within Newton's law of motion is essential.Yet the transition from high school physics to university level physics can be — and should be — difficult. The aim of this book is to teach Newtonian mechanics suitable for the first two years of university study. Using carefully chosen and detailed examples to expose areas of frequent misunderstanding, the first two thirds of the book introduces material familiar to high school students from the ground up, with a more mature point of view. The final third of the book contains new material, introducing detailed sections on the rotation of rigid objects and providing an insight into subtleties that can be troubling to the first-time learner. Tabletop physics demonstrations are suggested to assist in understanding the worked examples.As a teacher and lecturer of physics with experience at both high school and university level, Professor Vijay Tymms offers a lucid and sensitive presentation of Newtonian mechanics to help make the step from high school to university as smooth as possible.

World Scientific Europe Ltd Newton And The Great World System
Book SynopsisMathematics is, in many ways, the most generic and abstract of all systems of human thought. Once Newton found he could describe dynamics and planetary motions using purely mathematical laws and deductive processes, he understood that there was no limit to what else could be explained — given time and ingenuity every aspect of Nature would find its mathematical roots. Newton himself repeatedly stated how aspects of chemistry, biology and even human thought could be accessed by his method. He also acknowledged how immense the task would be, involving many contributors over many centuries, however once the system was in place, it could be extended indefinitely. Although not fully understood during his lifetime, the Newtonian method has since been applied to many subjects outside of physics, including chemistry, physiology and philosophy. This book analyses the Newtonian method and demonstrates how it represents the very roots of our understanding of the great world system we live in today.This unique book is published as the second of a three-part set for Newtonian scholars, historians of science, philosophers of science and others interested in Newtonian physics.All Titles: 1.Newton and Modern Physics2.Newton and the Great World System3.Newton — Innovation and Controversy

World Scientific Europe Ltd Emergence Of The Quantum From The Classical:
Book SynopsisThe emergence of quantum mechanics from classical world mechanics is now a well-established theme in mathematical physics. This book demonstrates that quantum mechanics can indeed be viewed as a refinement of Hamiltonian mechanics, and builds on the work of George Mackey in relation to their mathematical foundations. Additionally when looking at the differences with classical mechanics, quantum mechanics crucially depends on the value of Planck's constant h. Recent cosmological observations tend to indicate that not only the fine structure constant α but also h might have varied in both time and space since the Big Bang. We explore the mathematical and physical consequences of a variation of h; surprisingly we see that a decrease of h leads to transitions from the quantum to the classical.Emergence of the Quantum from the Classical provides help to undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics, physics and quantum theory looking to advance into research in the field.

Lexington Books How Scientific Instruments Speak:
Book SynopsisScience is highly dependent on technologies to observe scientific objects. For example, astronomers need telescopes to observe planetary movements, and cognitive neuroscience depends on brain imaging technologies to investigate human cognition. But how do such technologies shape scientific practice, and how do new scientific objects come into being when new technologies are used in science?In How Scientific Instruments Speak, Bas de Boer develops a philosophical account of how technologies shape the reality that scientists study. We should understand scientific instruments as mediating technologies. Rather than mute tools serving pre-existing human goals, scientific instruments play an active role in shaping scientific work. De Boer uses this account to discuss how brain imaging and stimulation technologies mediate the way in which cognitive neuroscientists investigate human cognitive functions. The development of cognitive neuroscience runs parallel with the development of advanced brain imaging technologies, drawing a lot of public attention—sometimes called “neurohype”—because of its alleged capacity to demystify the human mind. By analyzing how the objects that cognitive neuroscientists study are mediated by brain imaging technologies, de Boer explicates the processes by which human cognition is investigated.Table of ContentsTable of ContentsIntroduction: Technological Mediations and (Neuro-)Scientific PracticePart 1: Towards a Theory of Technological Mediations in Scientific PracticeChapter 1: Scientific Instruments as Mediating Technologies and the Collectivity of Scientific PracticeChapter 2: “Technology” and “Human-Technology Relations”Chapter 3: Science and the Theoretical Disclosure of NatureChapter 4: To the Scientific Objects Themselves: Gaston Bachelard’s PhenomenotechniqueChapter 5: Bruno Latour and the Difference Between Technical and Technological MediationsPart 2: A Postphenomenological Ethnomethodology of Neuroscientific PracticeChapter 6: Postphenomenology as Ethnomethodology: Studying How Reality is Accomplished Through the Appropriation of Technological MediationsChapter 7: Constituting “Visual Attention” in the Cognitive NeurosciencesChapter 8: “Braining” Neuropsychiatric ExperimentsConclusion: A Philosophy of Technological Mediation as a Philosophy of Scientific Practice

World Scientific Europe Ltd Integrable Many-particle Systems
Book SynopsisIt is commonly known that three or more particles interacting via a two-body potential is an intractable problem. However, similar systems confined to one dimension yield exactly solvable equations, which have seeded widely pursued studies of one-dimensional n-body problems. The interest in these investigations is justified by their rich and quantitative insights into real-world classical and quantum problems, birthing a field that is the subject of this book. Spanning four bulk chapters, this book is written with the hope that readers come to appreciate the beauty of the mathematical results concerning the models of many-particle systems, such as the interaction between light particles and infinitely massive particles, as well as interacting quasiparticles. As the book discusses several unsolved problems in the subject, it functions as an insightful resource for researchers working in this branch of mathematical physics.In Chapter 1, the author first introduces readers to interesting problems in mathematical physics, with the prime objective of finding integrals of motion for classical many-particle systems as well as the exact solutions of the corresponding equations of motions. For these studied systems, their quantum mechanical analogue is then developed in Chapter 2. In Chapter 3, the book focuses on a quintessential problem in the quantum theory of magnetism: namely, to find all integrable one-dimensional systems involving quasiparticles of interacting one-half spins. Readers will study the integrable periodic chains of interacting one-half spins and discover the integrals of motion for such systems, as well as the eigenvectors of their corresponding Hamiltonians. In the last chapter, readers will study about integrable systems of quantum particles, with spin and mutual interactions involving rational, trigonometric, or elliptic potentials.

Imperial College Press Classical Mechanics Illustrated By Modern
Book SynopsisIn many fields of modern physics, classical mechanics plays a key role. However, the teaching of mechanics at the undergraduate level often confines the applications to old-fashioned devices such as combinations of springs and masses, pendulums, or rolling cylinders.This book provides an illustration of classical mechanics in the form of problems (at undergraduate level) inspired — for the most part — by contemporary research in physics, and resulting from the teaching and research experience of the authors. A noticeable feature of this book is that it emphasizes the experimental aspects of a large majority of problems. All problems are accompanied by detailed solutions: the calculations are clarified and their physical significance commented on in-depth. Within the solutions, the basic concepts from undergraduate lectures in classical mechanics, necessary to solve the problems, are recalled when needed. The authors systematically mention recent bibliographical references (most of them freely accessible via the Internet) allowing the reader to deepen their understanding of the subject, and thus contributing to the building of a general culture in physics.Table of ContentsOrders of Magnitude and Dimensional Analysis; Motion in the Gravity Field; Friction; Rotating Frames; Oscillators; A Few Theorems of Mechanics; Collisions; Manipulation of Charged Particles; Cold Atoms; Celestial Mechanics; Relativistic Mechanics.

Imperial College Press Universe, The: A Challenge To The Mind
Book SynopsisIn this book the author gives a comprehensive picture of the physical laws that appear to regulate the functioning of the Universe from the atomic to the cosmic world. The book offers a description of the main fields of physics — classical physics, relativity, quantum mechanics and particle physics — as they are applied to the atomic world and the cosmos to describe how the whole Universe has evolved to the present state. The description concentrates on the essentials, describing our present knowledge of those physical laws and outlining our limitations in understanding the whole picture. This is done essentially without equations, except for a few important ones. The text includes a short Annex for mathematically inclined readers who wish to see how the physical principles and laws expressed in words can be visualized in the language of mathematics, but the book can be read without referring to that Annex. Also, The Universe explains in depth those laws and outlines their limitations. The author, however, does this in an accessible language that should be understandable to non-specialists. In particular, he occasionally uses two young characters placed in various situations to explain the physics involved in those situations by means of their observations. The author uses also numerous clear pictures and graphics that make the text more easily comprehensible.

Imperial College Press Classical Mechanics (5th Edition)
Book SynopsisThis is the fifth edition of a well-established textbook. It is intended to provide a thorough coverage of the fundamental principles and techniques of classical mechanics, an old subject that is at the base of all of physics, but in which there has also in recent years been rapid development. The book is aimed at undergraduate students of physics and applied mathematics. It emphasizes the basic principles, and aims to progress rapidly to the point of being able to handle physically and mathematically interesting problems, without getting bogged down in excessive formalism. Lagrangian methods are introduced at a relatively early stage, to get students to appreciate their use in simple contexts. Later chapters use Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods extensively, but in a way that aims to be accessible to undergraduates, while including modern developments at the appropriate level of detail. The subject has been developed considerably recently while retaining a truly central role for all students of physics and applied mathematics.This edition retains all the main features of the fourth edition, including the two chapters on geometry of dynamical systems and on order and chaos, and the new appendices on conics and on dynamical systems near a critical point. The material has been somewhat expanded, in particular to contrast continuous and discrete behaviours. A further appendix has been added on routes to chaos (period-doubling) and related discrete maps. The new edition has also been revised to give more emphasis to specific examples worked out in detail.Classical Mechanics is written for undergraduate students of physics or applied mathematics. It assumes some basic prior knowledge of the fundamental concepts and reasonable familiarity with elementary differential and integral calculus.Trade Review"Classical Mechanics by T Kibble and F Berkshire is tailor-made for budding theoreticians. It lays the groundwork for relativity and quantum theory, quickly progressing beyond Newtonian mechanics to the alternative formulations of Joseph Lagrange and William Hamilton." New Scientist "... the student who requires a good book on the older aspects of Classical Mechanics together with a brief introduction to newer ideas will find the third edition useful." Contemporary Physics "This volume, by Kibble and Berkshire, has proved to be a successful book ... the written content and presentation are all excellent." European Journal of Physics

Imperial College Press Topics In Statistical Mechanics
Book SynopsisBuilding on the material learned by students in their first few years of study, this book presents an advanced level course on statistical and thermal physics. It begins with a review of the formal structure of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics considered from a unified viewpoint. After a brief revision of non-interacting systems, emphasis is laid on interacting systems. First, weakly interacting systems are considered, where the interest is in seeing how such interactions cause small deviations from the non-interacting case. Second, systems are examined where interactions lead to drastic changes, namely phase transitions. A number of specific examples are given, and these are unified within the Landau theory of phase transitions. The final chapter of the book looks at non-equilibrium systems and the way these evolve towards equilibrium. Here, fluctuations play a vital role, as is formalized in the Fluctuation-Dissipation theorem.Trade Review"This is an excellent graduate-level textbook that grew out of a largely online intercollegiate course given by the author to fourth-year students in the United Kingdom. The text is concise but provides an accurate and well-balanced introduction to a remarkable breadth of topics, with an emphasis even on modern aspects such as the statistical mechanics of phase transitions and non-equilibrium dynamics ... Cowan has managed to capture the rich field of statistical mechanics in a concise and truly excellent exposition. His text should be accessible to good advanced undergraduates, and certainly to first- or second-year graduate students in physics, mathematics, or engineering."

Imperial College Press Strain And Dislocation Gradients From
Book SynopsisThis book highlights emerging diffraction studies of strain and dislocation gradients with mesoscale resolution, which is currently a focus of research at laboratories around the world. While ensemble-average diffraction techniques are mature, grain and subgrain level measurements needed to understand real materials are just emerging. In order to understand the diffraction signature of different defects, it is necessary to understand the distortions created by the defects and the corresponding changes in the reciprocal space of the non-ideal crystals.Starting with a review of defect classifications based on their displacement fields, this book then provides connections between different dislocation arrangements, including geometrically necessary and statistically stored dislocations, and other common defects and the corresponding changes in the reciprocal space and diffraction patterns. Subsequent chapters provide an overview of microdiffraction techniques developed during the last decade to extract information about strain and dislocation gradients. X-ray microdiffraction is a particularly exciting application compared with alternative probes of local crystalline structure, orientation and defect density, because it is inherently non-destructive and penetrating.Table of ContentsDiffraction Analysis of Defects - State of the Art; X-Ray Laue Diffraction Microscopy in 3D at the Advanced Photon Source; High Energy Transmission Laue Micro-Beam Diffraction; XMAS: A Versatile Tool for Analyzing Synchrotron X-Ray Microdiffraction Data; Laue Microdiffraction at ESRF; 3D X-Ray Diffraction Microscopy; Grain Centre Mapping - 3DXRD Measurements of Average Grain Characteristics; Three Dimensional X-Ray Diffraction Imaging Techniques; High Resolution Reciprocal Space Mapping for Characterizing Deformation Structures; Reconstructing 2D & 3D Orientation Maps from White Beam Laue; Energy-Variable X-Ray Diffraction for Studying Polycrystalline Materials with High Depth Resolution; Microstructure Detail Extraction via EBSD: An Overview; High Pressure Studies with Microdiffraction.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Lectures in Classical Mechanics: With Solved
Book SynopsisThis exceptionally well-organized book uses solved problems and exercises to help readers understand the underlying concepts of classical mechanics; accordingly, many of the exercises included are of a conceptual rather than practical nature. A minimum of necessary background theory is presented, before readers are asked to solve the theoretical exercises. In this way, readers are effectively invited to discover concepts on their own. While more practical exercises are also included, they are always designed to introduce readers to something conceptually new. Special emphasis is placed on important but often-neglected concepts such as symmetries and invariance, especially when introducing vector analysis in Cartesian and curvilinear coordinates. More difficult concepts, including non-inertial reference frames, rigid body motion, variable mass systems, basic tensorial algebra, and calculus, are covered in detail. The equations of motion in non-inertial reference systems are derived in two independent ways, and alternative deductions of the equations of motion for variable mass problems are presented. Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of mechanics are studied for non-relativistic cases, and further concepts such as inertial reference frames and the equivalence principle are introduced and elaborated on.Table of ContentsVector Analysis in Cartesian Coordinates.- Vector Analysis in Curvilinear Coordinates.- Kinematics.- Newton's Laws, Dynamics and Galilean Relativity.- Systems of Particles and Variable Mass.- One-Dimensional Potentials and Two-Dimensional Central Potentials.- Non Relativistic Collisions.- Continuous Mass Distributions.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Basic Theoretical Physics: A Concise Overview
Book SynopsisThis concise treatment embraces, in four parts, all the main aspects of theoretical physics. Recent topics such as holography and quantum cryptography are included. The book summarizes what a graduate student, physicist working in industry, or a physics teacher should master during his or her degree course. It will also be useful for deepening one’s insight and it adds new dimensions to understanding of these elemental concepts.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "A comprehensive work covering the material that graduate students in physics typically would study in preparing for doctoral candidacy examinations. … This book would be very useful for self-study by motivated students, or for preparation for candidacy exams. … Practicing physicists may find that the brief, accessible treatments of many topics will earn this book a place on a convenient bookshelf. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (M. C. Ogilvie, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (7), 2008) "The book, written by two … ‘working physicists’, contains what the authors regard as being ‘basic knowledge’ in the standard courses of theoretical physics (yet) held at German Universities. … is primarily intended to cover the ‘Basic Theoretical Physics’ in a single and handy volume. … Hence, the book should be considered as being a kind of ‘compendium’ of … formulas used in theoretical physics where the formulas are filled in between with some remarks."

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Dimensionshomogenität: Erkenntnis ohne Wissen?
Book SynopsisDieses Buch leistet übergeordnet einen besonderen Beitrag zur dauerhaften innovativen Weiterentwicklung und Kompetenzerhaltung. Es enthält Hinweise zur Beurteilung der Sinnhaftigkeit von Computerprogrammen und Entscheidungen, die allein auf die Vergleichsgröße Geld mit dem damit zwangsweise verknüpften technischen Informationsverlust reduziert sind, um den industriellen Prozesses zum Wohl aller Menschen unbeirrt erfolgreich fortsetzen zu können. Gesichertes Wissen kann nur aus der Natur abgeleitetes Wissen sein. Die Denk- und Arbeitsweisen der Ingenieure und Physiker als treibende Hauptakteure müssen naturwissenschaftlich geprägt sein. Der heute zu beobachtenden geradezu explosionsartigen Vermehrung an Faktenwissen steht eine ebenso schnelle Entwertung des technischen Details gegenüber, die man mit dem Einsatz von Computerprogrammen zu beherrschen glaubt. Um unter diesen Bedingungen wirklich Herr der Dinge bleiben zu können, sind grundlegende, allein durch die Naturgesetze und die Mathematik legitimierte, Denk- und Arbeitsmethoden zu nutzen und weiterzuentwickeln, die in der Zeit des Faktenwissens und Computergebrauchs sonst verloren gehen. Das naturwissenschaftlich/mathematische Werkzeug hierzu ist die ¶-Theorem Methodik, die universell auf alle technologischen Probleme (Mechanik, Elektrotechnik, Biologie, Populationen, …) angewendet werden kann. Da jedes spezielle technologische Problem ein ganz extremer Sonderfall ist, kann stets durch Verschärfen und Ausschöpfen mit a priori bekannten problemspezifischen Details und Nutzung von Reihenentwicklungen immer eine extrem einfache natur-wissenschaftlich gesicherte Lösung gefunden werden, die zugleich auch ökonomisch hinsichtlich Zeit- und Kostenaufwand optimal ist.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd One-dimensional Introduction To Continuum
Book SynopsisMany textbooks on continuum mechanics plunge students in at the ‘deep end’ of three-dimensional analysis and applications. However a striking number of commonplace models of our physical environment are based entirely within the dynamics of a one-dimensional continuum. This introductory text therefore approaches the subject entirely within such a one-dimensional framework.The principles of the mathematical modeling of one-dimensional media constitute the book's backbone. These concepts are elucidated with a diverse selection of applications, ranging from tidal dynamics and dispersion in channels to beam bending, algal blooms, blood flow, and the greenhouse effect.The book is ideally suited to elementary undergraduate courses as it makes no use of multivariable calculus. A number of graded problems are included at the end of each section.Table of ContentsDescribing the motion of a continuum; conservation of material; balance of momentum; stress and strain; quasi-one-dimensional continua; applications of 1-D continuum mechanics.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Finite Elasticity And Viscoelasticity: A Course
Book SynopsisThis book provides a systematic and self-consistent introduction to the nonlinear continuum mechanics of solids, from the main axioms to comprehensive aspects of the theory. The objective is to expose the most intriguing aspects of elasticity and viscoelasticity with finite strains in such a way as to ensure mathematical correctness, on the one hand, and to demonstrate a wide spectrum of physical phenomena typical only of nonlinear mechanics, on the other.A novel aspect of the book is that it contains a number of examples illustrating surprising behaviour in materials with finite strains, as well as comparisons between theoretical predictions and experimental data for rubber-like polymers and elastomers.The book aims to fill a gap between mathematicians specializing in nonlinear continuum mechanics, and physicists and engineers who apply the methods of solid mechanics to a wide range of problems in civil and mechanical engineering, materials science, and polymer physics. The book has been developed from a graduate course in applied mathematics which the author has given for a number of years.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Nanoscience: Friction And Rheology On The
Book SynopsisFriction force microscopy is an important analytical tool in the field of tribology on the nanometer-scale. The contact area between the probing tip and the sample is reduced to some square nanometers, corresponding to the ideal of a single asperity contact. Traditional concepts, such as friction coefficients, adhesion and elasticity and stick-slip are re-examined with this novel technique. New concepts based upon classical and quantum mechanics are investigated.Table of ContentsPart 1 Instrumental aspects: deflection sensors; force sensors and probing tips; implementation into different environments; calibration procedures; force vs. distance curves; elasticity and adhesion measurements; determination of friction coefficients; 2-d histogram technique. Part 2 Theoretical concepts: forces, elasticity and adhesion; viscosity; Amontons laws; adhesion model; atomic-scale stick-slip. Part 3 Tribological experiments on the nanometer-scale: contrast mechanisms of friction force microscopy; lubrication studies by friction force microscopy; nanometer-scale modifications; wear mechanisms; conclusions and outlook.
