A personal tour through the world of physics--from Newton's laws to quantum mechanics--by one of the most celebrated physicists of the twentieth century

(Paperback)

Presents readers with a coherent branch of nonlinear mathematical analysis that is suited to the study of optimization problems. This volume treats the topics such as: systems of inequalities, the minimum or maximum of a convex function over a convex set, Lagrange multipliers, minimax theorems and duality, and more.

In this book, Robert Israel considers classical and quantum lattice systems in terms of equilibrium statistical mechanics. He is especially concerned with the characterization of translation-invariant equilibrium states by a variational principle and the use of convexity in studying these states. Arthur Wightman's Introduction gives a general and h

What should the average person know about science This volume introduces readers to various aspects that make cosmology such a vibrant and dynamic field, and explains how scientists came to know what they know about the universe.

Do there exist Lorentzian manifolds all of whose light-like geodesics are periodic A surprising fact is that such manifolds exist in abundance in (2 + 1)-dimensions (though in higher dimensions they are quite rare). This book deals with the deformation theory of M2,1 (which furnishes almost all the known examples of these objects).
