During the second quarter of the nineteenth century, Londoners were enthralled by a strange fluid called electricity. In examining this period, Iwan Morus moves beyond the conventional focus on the celebrated Michael Faraday to discuss other electrical experimenters, who aspired to spectacular public displays of their discoveries. Revealing connect

Focuses on the difficult question of existence of Frchet derivatives of Lipschitz maps of Banach spaces into higher dimensional spaces. This book provides a bridge between descriptive set theory and the classical topic of existence of derivatives of vector-valued Lipschitz functions.

Each of us is, to a certain extent, dangerous to his or her own health, but how far do we want the government to curb our freedom to be "foolish" In a look at such highly charged health issues as smoking, alcohol, road safety, and AIDS, Howard Leichter analyzes the efforts of the United States and Great Britain to confront the seemingly constant t

Probes central theoretical questions about physiological rhythms. Topics discussed include: how are rhythms generated How do they start and stop What are the effects of perturbation of the rhythms How are oscillations organized in space This book is useful for biological scientists, physicians, physical scientists, and mathematicians.

The last decade has seen striking progress in the subject of renormalization in quantum field theory. The old subject of perturbative renormalization has been revived by the use of powerful methods such as multiscale decompositions; precise estimates have been added to the initial theorems on finiteness of renormalized perturbation theory, with new

Explaining how the principles of population dynamics and ecosystem functioning can be merged, this title addresses key issues in the study of biodiversity and ecosystems, such as functional complementarity, food webs, stability and complexity, material cycling, and metacommunities.

Traces the development of the calculus from the early seventeenth century through its expansion into mathematical analysis to the developments in set theory and the foundations of mathematics in the early twentieth century. This book chronicles the work of mathematicians from Descartes and Newton to Russell and Hilbert and many others.

An investigation of finite Riemann surfaces from the point of view of functional analysis, that is, the study of the various Abelian differentials of the surface in their dependence on the surface itself. Many new results are presented. Originally published in 1954. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again

Traces the prehistory and initial development of wavelet theory, a discipline that has had a profound impact on mathematics, physics, and engineering. This book contains the seminal papers that presented the ideas from which wavelet theory evolved, as well as those major papers that developed the theory into its current form.
