This book provides a set of theoretical and numerical tools useful for the study of wave propagation in metamaterials and photonic crystals. While concentrating on electromagnetic waves, most of the material can be used for acoustic (or quantum) waves. For each presented numerical method, numerical...
Relativity, Symmetry, and the Structure of Quantum Theory, Volume 2
Point Form Relativistic Quantum Mechanics
Language: English
Release Date: March 23, 2018
The first version of quantum theory, developed in the mid 1920's, is what is called nonrelativistic quantum theory; it is based on a form of relativity which, in a previous volume, was called Newton relativity. But quickly after this first development, it was realized that, in order to account for...

From Complex to Simple
Interdisciplinary Stochastic Models
Language: English
Release Date: August 24, 2018
This book presents simple interdisciplinary stochastic models meant as a gentle introduction to the field of non-equilibrium statistical physics. It focuses on the analysis of two-state models with cooperative effects, which are versatile enough to be applied to many physical and social systems. The...

Monte Carlo methods have been very prominent in computer simulation of various systems in physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science. This book focuses on the discussion and path-integral quantum Monte Carlo methods in many-body physics and provides a concise but complete introduction to the...
Beyond Curie
Four Women in Physics and Their Remarkable Discoveries, 1903 to 1963
Language: English
Release Date: July 31, 2017
In the 116 year history of the Nobel Prize in Physics, only two women have won the award; Marie Curie (1903) and Maria Mayer (1963). During the 60 years between those awards, several women did work of similar calibre. This book focuses on those women, providing biographies for each that discuss both...

Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, published in 1915, made a remarkable prediction: gravitational radiation.
Just like light (electromagnetic radiation), gravity could travel through space as a wave and affect any objects it encounters by alternately compressing and expanding them....
Essential Mathematics for the Physical Sciences, Volume 1
Homogenous Boundary Value Problems, Fourier Methods, and Special Functions
Language: English
Release Date: October 31, 2017
Physics is expressed in the language of mathematics; it is deeply ingrained in how physics is taught and how it's practiced. A study of the mathematics used in science is thus asound intellectual investment for training as scientists and engineers. This first volume of two is centered on methods of...
Causality Rules
A Light Treatise on Dispersion Relations and Sum Rules
Language: English
Release Date: July 6, 2018
Scattering of light by light is a fundamental process arising at the quantum level through vacuum fluctuations. This short book will explain how, remarkably enough, this quantum process can entirely be described in terms classical quantities. This description is derived from general principles, such...
