  • Grassmannian Geometry of Scattering Amplitudes

    by Nima Arkani-Hamed, Jacob Bourjaily, Freddy Cachazo, Alexander Goncharov, Alexander Postnikov, Jaroslav Trnka ...
    Outlining a revolutionary reformulation of the foundations of perturbative quantum field theory, this book is a self-contained and authoritative analysis of the application of this new formulation to the case of planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory. The book begins by deriving connections between scattering amplitudes and Grassmannian geometry from first principles before introducing ... Read more

  • The Physics of Wall Street

    A Brief History of Predicting the Unpredictable

    by James Owen Weatherall ...
    A look inside the world of "quants" and how science can (and can't) predict financial markets: "Entertaining and enlightening" ( The New York Times).After the economic meltdown of 2008, Warren Buffett famously warned, "beware of geeks bearing formulas." But while many of the mathematicians and software engineers on Wall Street failed when their abstractions turned ugly in practice, a special breed ... Read more

  • Classical Mechanics with Maxima

    by Todd Keene Timberlake, J. Wilson Mixon ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book guides undergraduate students in the use of Maxima—a computer algebra system—in solving problems in classical mechanics. It functions well as a supplement to a typical classical mechanics textbook.When it comes to problems that are too difficult to solve by hand, computer algebra systems that can perform symbolic mathematical manipulations are a valuable tool. Maxima is particularly ... Read more

  • Dynamics of the Milky Way

    Tidal Streams and Extended Distribution Functions for the Galactic Disc

    by Jason Sanders ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This work presents a study of methods useful for modeling and understanding dynamical systems in the Galaxy. A natural coordinate system for the study of dynamical systems is the angle-action coordinate system. New methods for the approximation of the action-angle variables in general potentials are presented and discussed. These new tools are applied to the construction of dynamical models for ...

  • There Is No Theory of Everything

    A Physics Perspective on Emergence

    by Lars Q. English ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    The main purpose of this book is to introduce a broader audience to emergence by illustrating how discoveries in the physical sciences have informed the ways we think about it. In a nutshell, emergence asserts that non-reductive behavior arises at higher levels of organization and complexity. As physicist Philip Anderson put it, “more is different.” Along the text's conversational tour through the ... Read more

  • Bounded Noises in Physics, Biology, and Engineering

    Edited by Alberto d'Onofrio ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Since the parameters in dynamical systems of biological interest are inherently positive and bounded, bounded noises are a natural way to model the realistic stochastic fluctuations of a biological system that are caused by its interaction with the external world. Bounded Noises in Physics, Biology, and Engineering is the first contributed volume devoted to the modeling of bounded noises in ... Read more
