  • Physics and the Nature of Reality

    Essays in Memory of Detlef Dürr

    Edited by Angelo Bassi, Sheldon Goldstein, Roderich Tumulka, Nino Zanghì ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This volume commemorates the scientific contributions of Detlef Dürr (1951–2021) to foundational questions of physics. It presents new contributions from his former students, collaborators, and colleagues about their current research on topics inspired or influenced by Dürr. These topics are drawn from physics, mathematics, and philosophy of nature, and concern interpretations of quantum theory, ... Read more

  • Quantum Reality

    The Quest for the Real Meaning of Quantum Mechanics - a Game of Theories

    by Jim Baggott ...
    Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory. It is also completely mad. Although the theory quite obviously works, it leaves us chasing ghosts and phantoms; particles that are waves and waves that are particles; cats that are at once both alive and dead; and lots of seemingly spooky goings-on. But if we're prepared to be a little more specific about what we mean when we ... Read more

  • From Financial Crisis to Stagnation

    The Destruction of Shared Prosperity and the Role of Economics

    by Thomas I. Palley ...
    The US economy today is confronted with the prospect of extended stagnation. This book explores why. Thomas I. Palley argues that the Great Recession and destruction of shared prosperity is due to flawed economic policy over the past thirty years. One flaw was the growth model adopted after 1980 that relied on debt and asset price inflation to fuel growth instead of wages. A second flaw was the ... Read more

  • What Are Tensors Exactly?

    by Hongyu Guo ...
    Tensors have numerous applications in physics and engineering. There is often a fuzzy haze surrounding the concept of tensor that puzzles many students. The old-fashioned definition is difficult to understand because it is not rigorous; the modern definitions are difficult to understand because they are rigorous but at a cost of being more abstract and less intuitive.The goal of this book is to ...

  • Thermodynamics

    A Dynamical Systems Approach

    by Wassim M. Haddad, VijaySekhar Chellaboina, Sergey G. Nersesov ...
    Series series Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics
    This book places thermodynamics on a system-theoretic foundation so as to harmonize it with classical mechanics. Using the highest standards of exposition and rigor, the authors develop a novel formulation of thermodynamics that can be viewed as a moderate-sized system theory as compared to statistical thermodynamics. This middle-ground theory involves deterministic large-scale dynamical system ... Read more

  • Ordinary Differential Equations With Applications (2nd Edition)

    by Sze-bi Hsu ...
    Series Book 21 - Series On Applied Mathematics
    During the past three decades, the development of nonlinear analysis, dynamical systems and their applications to science and engineering has stimulated renewed enthusiasm for the theory of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE).This useful book, which is based on the lecture notes of a well-received graduate course, emphasizes both theory and applications, taking numerous examples from physics and ...

  • Einstein, Relativity and Absolute Simultaneity

    Edited by William Lane Craig, Quentin Smith ...
    Series series Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy
    Einstein, Relativity and Absolute Simultaneity is an anthology of original essays by an international team of leading philosophers and physicists who have come together to reassess the contemporary paradigm of the relativistic concept of time. A great deal has changed since 1905 when Einstein proposed his Special Theory of Relativity, and this book offers a fresh reassessment of Special Relativity ... Read more

  • Discrete or Continuous?

    The Quest for Fundamental Length in Modern Physics

    by Amit Hagar ...
    The idea of infinity plays a crucial role in our understanding of the universe, with the infinite spacetime continuum perhaps the best-known example - but is spacetime really continuous? Throughout the history of science, many have felt that the continuum model is an unphysical idealization, and that spacetime should be thought of as 'quantized' at the smallest of scales. Combining novel ... Read more

  • Making Sense of Quantum Mechanics

    by Jean Bricmont ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book explains, in simple terms, with a minimum of mathematics, why things can appear to be in two places at the same time, why correlations between simultaneous events occurring far apart cannot be explained by local mechanisms, and why, nevertheless, the quantum theory can be understood in terms of matter in motion. No need to worry, as some people do, whether a cat can be both dead and ... Read more

  • Noncommutative Geometry and Particle Physics

    by Walter D. van Suijlekom ...
    Series series Mathematical Physics Studies
    This book provides an introduction to noncommutative geometry and presents a number of its recent applications to particle physics. In the first part, we introduce the main concepts and techniques by studying finite noncommutative spaces, providing a “light” approach to noncommutative geometry. We then proceed with the general framework by defining and analyzing noncommutative spin manifolds and ... Read more

  • Topics in Physical Mathematics

    by Kishore Marathe ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    As many readers will know, the 20th century was a time when the fields of mathematics and the sciences were seen as two separate entities. Caused by the rapid growth of the physical sciences and an increasing abstraction in mathematical research, each party, physicists and mathematicians alike, suffered a misconception; not only of the opposition’s theoretical underpinning, but of how the two ...
