Attempts to investigate the question of how matter has evolved since its origin in the Big Bang, from the cosmological synthesis of hydrogen and helium to the generation of the complex set of nuclei that comprise our world and our selves. This book also presents an understanding by combining simple analytic models with computer simulations.

(Paperback, Revised Edition)

Suitable for readers familiar with relativistic quantum field theory who wish to learn about the supersymmetry algebra, this volume includes a derivation of the most general coupling of super-symmetric gauge theory to supergravity. It also emphasizes the logical coherence of the subject.

Problems in theoretical physics often lead to paradoxical answers; yet closer reasoning and a more complete analysis invariably lead to the resolution of the paradox. This work is based on the author's lectures at the University of Washington in the spring of 1977 and at the Institut de Physique Nucleaire, University de Paris-Sud, Orsay.

Students will be introduced to the science of physics, and its applications to everyday life, in this volume. The chapter with instructions for experiments in physics will assist students in projects for science fairs, and the chapter on physics as a career will help students to explore the various options for working in this field of science.

Every document in "The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein" appears in the language in which it was written. This title presents the English translations of those non-English materials.

Hugh Aitken describes a critical period in the history of radio, when continuous wave technology first made reliable long-distance wireless communication possible and opened up opportunities for broadcasting voice and music. Originally published in 1985. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make availab

Einstein's theory was accepted as the true theory in 1915, but soon took a back seat to quantum mechanics. Not until the existence of black holes by Stephen Hawking in the 1960s, was the theory revived. This book tells the story of both events and the techniques employed by Einstein and relativists to construct, develop, and understand his theory.

(Paperback)

Illustrates how gravitational theory and quantum mechanics played crucial roles in the reassessment of gauge theory as a geometric principle and as a framework for describing both electromagnetism and gravitation. This book also describes how the abelian electromagnetic gauge-theory was generalized to its non-abelian form.

Depicts an Earth whose interior is as active as its surface, and whose processes in the deep interior often control surface dynamics. This book discusses the importance of the hydrogen in water in determining the structure of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary. It is intended for students of Earth sciences, materials sciences, and physics.

(Paperback)

Offers a treatment of interpretation (in nonrelativistic physics). This book enables readers to check every step, apply techniques to problems, and make sure that no paradox or obscurity arises in the theory. It discusses various philosophical implications pertinent to the study of quantum mechanics. It is intended for physicists and students.

Because of the high symmetry involved, the Jahn-Teller effect is the natural starting point for considering electron-phonon (or vibronic) interactions in icosahedral molecules. This work presents a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the Jahn-Teller interaction in C60 and other icosahedral complexes.

A novel interpretation of quantum mechanics, first proposed in brief form by Hugh Everett in 1957, forms the nucleus around which this book has developed. In his interpretation, Dr. Everett denies the existence of a separate classical realm and asserts the propriety of considering a state vector for the whole universe. Because this state vector nev

A complete treatise on the subject of the neutrino includes interpretation of experimental results in terms of existing theories on this nuclear particle. It incorporates material on post-parity experiments which appeared following the Lee and Yang discoveries in 1956 concerning parity non-conservation in weak interactions. Originally published in

Synthesizing the theoretical and experimental advances in pion-nucleon interactions over approximately the last twelve years, the authors offer here a timely account of the hadronic interactions of pions and nucleons and of the structure of nucleons. Because of the hadronic SU3 symmetry, the book also treats the structure of baryons in general, and

This volume in the Greenwood Guides to Great Ideas in Science series provides a history of quantum mechanics from the early breakthroughs of Planck and Einstein, at the beginning of the 20th century, to the present frontiers of quantum computing and quantum gravity.

A state-of-the-art survey of both classical and quantum lattice gas models, this two-volume work will cover the rigorous mathematical studies of such models as the Ising and Heisenberg, an area in which scientists have made enormous strides during the past twenty-five years. This first volume addresses, among many topics, the mathematical backgroun
