Basics Of Statistical Physics - Harald J W Muller Kirsten - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Basics Of Statistical Physics - Harald J W Muller Kirsten - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Statistics links microscopic and macroscopic phenomena, and requires for this reason a large number of microscopic elements like atoms. The results are values of maximum probability or of averaging. This introduction to statistical physics concentrates on the basic principles, and attempts to explain these in simple terms supplemented by numerous examples. These basic principles include the difference between classical and quantum statistics, a priori probabilities as related to degeneracies, the vital aspect of indistinguishability as compared with distinguishability in classical physics, the differences between conserved and non-conserved elements, the different ways of counting arrangements in the three statistics (Maxwell-Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac, Bose-Einstein), the difference between maximization of the number of arrangements of elements, and averaging in the Darwin-Fowler method. Significant applications to solids, radiation and electrons in metals are treated in separate chapters, as well as Bose-Einstein condensation. This revised second edition contains an additional chapter on the Boltzmann transport equation along with appropriate applications. Also, more examples have been added throughout, as well as further references to literature.

Classical Mechanics And Relativity - Harald J W Muller Kirsten - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Classical Mechanics And Relativity - Harald J W Muller Kirsten - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This text provides a pedagogical tour through mechanics from Newton to Einstein with detailed explanations and a large number of worked examples. From the very beginning relativity is kept in mind, along with its relation to concepts of basic mechanics, such as inertia, escape velocity, Newton''s potential, Kepler motion and curvature. The Lagrange and Hamilton formalisms are treated in detail, and extensive applications to central forces and rigid bodies are presented. After consideration of the motivation of relativity, the essential tensor calculus is developed, and thereafter Einstein''s equation is solved for special cases with explicit presentation of calculational steps. The combined treatment of classical mechanics and relativity thus enables the reader to see the connection between Newton''s gravitational potential, Kepler motion and Einstein''s corrections, as well as diverse aspects of mechanics. The text addresses students and others pursuing a course in classical mechanics, as well as those interested in a detailed course on relativity.

Introduction To Quantum Mechanics: Schrodinger Equation And Path Integral - Harald J W Muller Kirsten - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd -

Introduction To Quantum Mechanics: Schrodinger Equation And Path Integral - Harald J W Muller Kirsten - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd -

After a consideration of basic quantum mechanics, this introduction aims at a side by side treatment of fundamental applications of the Schrödinger equation on the one hand and the applications of the path integral on the other. Different from traditional texts and using a systematic perturbation method, the solution of Schrödinger equations includes also those with anharmonic oscillator potentials, periodic potentials, screened Coulomb potentials and a typical singular potential, as well as the investigation of the large order behavior of the perturbation series. On the path integral side, after introduction of the basic ideas, the expansion around classical configurations in Euclidean time, such as instantons, is considered, and the method is applied in particular to anharmonic oscillator and periodic potentials. Numerous other aspects are treated on the way, thus providing the reader an instructive overview over diverse quantum mechanical phenomena, e.g. many other potentials, Green''s functions, comparison with WKB, calculation of lifetimes and sojourn times, derivation of generating functions, the Coulomb problem in various coordinates, etc. All calculations are given in detail, so that the reader can follow every step.

Never Lose Your Nerve! - Alan J Heeger - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Never Lose Your Nerve! - Alan J Heeger - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

"A wonderful tale of a brilliant man's journey from a small town in northwest Iowa to Stockholm and the King of Sweden. This book is also a love story covering with great joy and humor Alan and Ruth's multifaceted life together. Never Lose Your Nerve! tells us how to appreciate good fortune and handle adversity. A must read for its insights into a scientific mind and a world view reflecting the power of intellect and optimism. This man of grace with a sense of the ridiculous teaches us how scientific genius soars and how love keeps it grounded" Ambassador Shirin Tahir-Kheli "A deeply insightful book by and about the man who created the field of conducting polymers and who won a Nobel Prize for it. But more than that it captures his way of life, his uncanny willingness to take thoughtful risks, his exquisite taste in choosing problems, his artist's bent and his deep desire to have impact on the world. I wholeheartedly recommend this inspiring book to a wide set of readers, scientists and non-scientists alike." John Seely BrownFormer Chief Scientist, Xerox Corp andformer director of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) "'Never Lose Your Nerve!' tells the story of an unusual man's journey from 'Nebraska-to-Nobel'. Alan is unusual amongst Nobel Laureates — he is amongst the few who drove their idea from scientific discovery to products. Idea to Nobel Prize to products — how hard could it be? It is hard enough that most reasonable people would view the process as an impossible struggle fraught with risk at every turn. But Alan sees it differently. He is a bold man who leads his life with courage and conviction. Fortune favors him. Through his book, Alan inspires readers to understand and embrace risk. He also reveals the price of risk, the emotional and personal toll it takes on the risk-taker. By telling his story with candor, grace and humor, Alan coaxes the reader to appreciate and realize how a risk-taker's life might unfold were she or he to do things 'one at a time'." Anshuman RoyFounder & CEO, Rhombus Power Inc. Never Lose Your Nerve! chronicles the ups and downs of a Nobel Laureate's life. Professor Alan J Heeger was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000 together with Professor Alan G MacDiarmid and Professor Hideki Shirakawa. Filled with humor, this book tells Professor Heeger's story — his love for his family, especially how his wife's love has always been his guiding light, his progress from a young student to an eminent scientist, his passion for the theatre and its impact on his science, his adventures as a successful entrepreneur, and his personal losses. Many think of scientists as risk-adverse individuals but Professor Heeger shows the absolute necessity of risk in research and that scientists are, in fact, risk-addicted, as taking the first, risky step into unfamiliar territory is a step in the right direction towards creativity and great discoveries. Never lose your nerve and you will be rewarded. Life is an exciting adventure and this book clearly demonstrates it, and is for those who are looking to impact others. "Perhaps the greatest pleasure of being a scientist is to have an abstract idea, then to do an experiment (more often a series of experiments is required) that demonstrates the idea was correct; that is, Nature actually behaves as conceived in the mind of the scientist. This process is the essence of creativity in science. I have been fortunate to have experienced this intense pleasure many times in my life." Alan J Heeger

Bayesian A/b Decision Models - J Christopher Westland - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Bayesian A/b Decision Models - J Christopher Westland - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Bayesian A/B Decision Models encapsulates J Christopher Westland's deep expertise in algorithmic decision-making, honed through years of experience in specialized fields like auditing and serving as an expert witness in computing damages for corporate and industrial legal cases. While traditional statistical methods provide valuable insights, they often fall short of capturing the complexities of real-world scenarios that require sophisticated decision-making. Enter the Bayesian A/B decision model — a powerful alternative that offers the flexibility and adaptability essential for navigating the intricate demands of consultancy and legal expert roles.Westland has found the versatility of Bayesian A/B models to be particularly transformative, enabling him to respond effectively to diverse and dynamic requests for detailed analytical reports. This approach allows for the delivery of precise financial analyses and outcomes that are highly tailored and often beyond the reach of traditional methods. In the high-stakes arenas of legal and corporate deliberations, where the accuracy and adaptability of statistical analysis can be the tipping point, this advantage has proven invaluable.In Bayesian A/B Decision Models, Westland extends the application of Bayesian A/B testing across a wide array of fields, including healthcare, marketing, and finance, as well as in more specialized sectors where traditional A/B testing and Frequentist approaches may be insufficient due to their limitations. The book features a comprehensive technical appendix with complete computer code for all examples discussed, offering readers practical tools that can be customized and implemented in their work.Whether you're an experienced statistician, an emerging analyst, or a professional exploring the potential of Bayesian A/B testing, this book provides a thorough overview and detailed applications that highlight the unique benefits of this innovative statistical approach.

Physics And Our World: Reissue Of The Proceedings Of A Symposium In Honor Of Victor F Weisskopf - - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd -

As the proceedings of a symposium in honor of Victor Weisskopf at MIT, this volume contains papers by leaders of physics at the time, including M Delbrück, M Gell-Mann, H Bethe, T D Lee, B R Mottelson, W K H Panofsky, E Purcell, J Schwinger, S M Ulam, and others. Some papers address problems in the philosophy of physics, and physics and society, that are timeless in nature. But the symposium had a historical significance, in that it took place at a historic juncture of particle physics — the emergence of the Standard Model owing to experiments that point to the existence of quarks. Some of the papers reflect both the pre-quark and post-quark points of view. For these reasons, these proceedings merit reissue and reexamination.

Evolving Patterns In Global Trade And Finance - Sven W Arndt - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Evolving Patterns In Global Trade And Finance - Sven W Arndt - Bog - World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In Evolving Patterns in Global Trade and Finance , Professor Sven W Arndt offers succinct and rigorous explanations of important developments in trade, finance and international monetary relations. Topics include economic and monetary integration, cross-border production networks, and stabilization policy in orthodox and mixed exchange-rate regimes. The theoretical framework developed in this volume provides critical assessments of existing policies and practices, develops theoretical foundations for new and emerging patterns in trade and finance, and evaluates how well economists and policy makers are dealing (or have dealt) with the challenges they face. Readers will find the most in-depth and comprehensive discussion of international production networks (“off-shoring”), a detailed analysis of the implications for US economic stability and policy autonomy of its unorthodox exchange rate regime of fixed and floating rates, and insights into the causes of recent economic and financial turmoil in the global economy.
