This book gives an up-to-date exposition on the theory of oblique derivative problems for elliptic equations. The modern analysis of shock reflection was made possible by the theory of oblique derivative problems developed by the author. Such problems also arise in many other physical situations such...

This book intends to arouse the reader’s interest in geometry especially teens who see it as a cold abstract area of mathematics. Through simple problems, illustrative examples, and interesting stories, the author uses geometric notions to address situations one may face in the open air. This includes...
Waves and Rays in Seismology
Answers to Unasked Questions
Language: English
Release Date: July 28, 2016
The author dedicates this book to readers who are concerned with finding out the status of concepts, statements and hypotheses, and with clarifying and rearranging them in a logical order. It is thus not intended to teach tools and techniques of the trade, but to discuss the foundations on which seismology...

Release Date: November 10, 2016
This book develops the theory of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), starting from an introductory level (with no prior experience in ODEs assumed) through to a graduate-level treatment of the qualitative theory, including bifurcation theory (but not chaos). While proofs are rigorous, the exposition...

Numerical Methods for Reliability and Safety Assessment
Multiscale and Multiphysics Systems
Language: English
Release Date: September 30, 2014
This book offers unique insight on structural safety and reliability by combining computational methods that address multiphysics problems, involving multiple equations describing different physical phenomena and multiscale problems, involving discrete sub-problems that together describe important...
Applied Group Theory
For Physicists and Chemists
Language: English
Release Date: January 5, 2014
This text introduces advanced undergraduates and graduate students to symmetry relations by means of group theory. Key relationships are derived in detail from first principles. Rather than matrix theory, the treatment employs algebraic theory in deriving the properties of characters and projection...
Dynamics of the Milky Way
Tidal Streams and Extended Distribution Functions for the Galactic Disc
Language: English
Release Date: June 15, 2015
This work presents a study of methods useful for modeling and understanding dynamical systems in the Galaxy. A natural coordinate system for the study of dynamical systems is the angle-action coordinate system. New methods for the approximation of the action-angle variables in general potentials...
Applied Inverse Problems
Select Contributions from the First Annual Workshop on Inverse Problems
Language: English
Release Date: August 15, 2013
This proceedings volume is based on papers presented at the First Annual Workshop on Inverse Problems which was held in June 2011 at the Department of Mathematics, Chalmers University of Technology. The purpose of the workshop was to present new analytical developments and numerical methods for...
BioInformation Processing
A Primer on Computational Cognitive Science
Language: English
Release Date: February 10, 2016
This book shows how mathematics, computer science and science can be usefully and seamlessly intertwined. It begins with a general model of cognitive processes in a network of computational nodes, such as neurons, using a variety of tools from mathematics, computational science and neurobiology. It...

For Dr. Basti, the explanation is straightforward though not simple: “Just as cells have dna, so mathematics has DNA in its structure.” After years of research, he decided that his work had to contain a strong philosophical justification in order to stand the test of time. Part memoir and part manifesto,...

Quantum mechanics was developed during the first few decades of the twentieth century via a series of inspired guesses made by various physicists, including Planck, Einstein, Bohr, Schroedinger, Heisenberg, Pauli, and Dirac. All these scientists were trying to construct a self-consistent theory of...

This book is a pedagogical introduction to supergravity, a gravitational field theory that includes supersymmetry (symmetry between bosons and fermions) and is a generalization of Einstein's general relativity. Supergravity provides a low-energy effective theory of superstring theory, which has attracted...
