By Gerd Baumann

Mathematica in Theoretical Physics illustrates how Mathematica can be used to resolve actual difficulties and take care of theoretical thoughts. A translation of the hugely profitable German language booklet released by way of Springer-Verlag in 1993, this identify contains over 100 new pages containing extra examples in classical mechanics. Non-trivial examples in electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and normal relativity also are supplied. the writer additionally contains the derivation of scaling strategies in non-linear physics and has additional an advent to Mathematica particularly designed for physicists and engineers - increasing and strengthening the unique paintings. The diskette includes application code in Mathematica workstation structure.

Practical applied mathematics: modelling, analysis, approximation

Drawing from an exhaustive number of mathematical topics, together with actual and intricate research, fluid mechanics and asymptotics, this booklet demonstrates how arithmetic might be intelligently utilized in the particular context to a variety of business makes use of. the quantity is directed to undergraduate and graduate scholars.

Kalman filtering with real-time applications

This booklet offers a radical dialogue of the mathematical conception of Kalman filtering. The filtering equations are derived in a sequence of straight forward steps allowing the optimality of the method to be understood. It offers a entire therapy of assorted significant issues in Kalman-filtering conception, together with uncorrelated and correlated noise, coloured noise, steady-state conception, nonlinear structures, platforms identity, numerical algorithms, and real-time functions.

The Annotated Flatland

Flatland is a special, pleasant satire that has charmed readers for over a century. released in 1884 through the English clergyman and headmaster Edwin A. Abbott, it's the fanciful story of A. sq., a two-dimensional being who's whisked away via a mysterious customer to The Land of 3 Dimensions, an event that perpetually alters his worldview.

Fractal-Based Methods in Analysis

The belief of modeling the behaviour of phenomena at a number of scales has turn into a useful gizmo in either natural and utilized arithmetic. Fractal-based innovations lie on the middle of this region, as fractals are inherently multiscale items; they quite often describe nonlinear phenomena larger than conventional mathematical versions.
