Scaling and self-similarity ideas and methods in theoretical physics have coalesced into renormalization-group methods. This book analyzes some of the important applications: the critical-point theory in classical statistical mechanics, the scalar quantum field theories in two and three space-time dimensions, and Tomonaga's theory.

Axiomatic and constructive approaches to quantum field theory first aim to establish it on precise, non-perturbative bases: general axioms and rigorous definition of specific theories respectively. From the viewpoint of particle physics, the goal is then to develop a relativistic scattering theory, including particle analysis and the derivation of

Historians of science have long been intrigued by the impact of disparate cultural styles on the science of a given country and time period. Richard Olson's book is a case study in the interaction between philosophy and science as well as an examination of a particular scientific movement. The author investigates the methodological arguments of th

Presents an account of two pillars of the techniques of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory: stable and chaotic behavior. This title discusses cases in which N-body motions are stable, covering topics such as Hamiltonian systems, the (Moser) twist theorem, and aspects of Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory.

Intended for upper-level undergraduate courses, this book discusses the techniques of statistical and thermal physics. It outlines the relation between the macroscopic and microscopic worlds, and presents thermodynamic reasoning as an independent way of thinking about macroscopic systems. It also introduces probability concepts and techniques.

With the development of nuclear physics the theory of the stellar interior entered a new phase. Many new investigations have been conducted and the results published in a variety of specialized media. This book brings these results together in a single volume and summarizes the present status of the theory of stellar evolution. Originally publishe
