(Hardback, Second Edition)

Offers an introduction to gauge theories and their applications to high-energy particle physics, and takes a look at two new laws of nature-quantum chromodynamics and the electroweak theory. This title examines the logic and structure behind gauge theories and the experimental underpinnings of theories.

In the "Introduction to the Phenomena", Geminos provided a clear view of Greek astronomy in the period between Hipparchos and Ptolemy. This book, an English translation of Geminos' work, is accompanied by an introduction and commentary that set Geminos' work in its historical, scientific, and philosophical context.

Presents the author's approach to solving systems of polynomial equations in several variables. This book introduces the revolutionary notion of the "polynomial multiplier," which simplifies the problem of variable elimination by reducing it to a system of linear equations.

From Dolly the sheep to Frankenfood, life-saving medicines, and beyond, this insightful work describes the technology and controversy behind genetic engineering.

(Paperback)

Various approaches have been developed to evaluate the consequences of spatial structure on evolution in subdivided populations. This book is both a review and new synthesis of several of these approaches, based on the theory of spatial genetic structure.

Explores the origins and development of geographic variation, divergence, and speciation. This work shows how geographic differentiation and speciation may develop in spite of continuous gene flow. It discusses the relationships among gene flow, dispersal, and migration.

(Paperback)

Examines the processes that determine geographic patterns of genetic variation, providing a comprehensive guide to their study and interpretation. This book focuses on the mathematical relationships of spatial statistical measures of patterns to stochastic processes.

A complete theory of integration as it appears in geometric and physical problems must include integration over oriented r-dimensional domains in n-space; both the integrand and the domain may be variable. This is the primary subject matter of the present book, designed to bring out the underlying geometric and analytic ideas and to give clear and

Inverse theory concerns the mathematical techniques that enable researchers to use the available information to build a model of the unknown system or to determine its essential properties. This book aims to provide a systematic development of inverse theory at the graduate and professional level. It is illustrated with examples from geophysics.

One of the greatest revolutions in mathematics occurred when Georg Cantor promulgated his theory of transfinite sets. His religious beliefs led him to expect paradoxes in any concept of the infinite. This work shows that these played an integral part in his understanding and defense of set theory.
