  • Local Mathematics for Local Physics

    From Number Scaling to Gauge Theory and Cosmology

    by Paul Benioff, Marek Czachor, Seth Lloyd ...
    The language of the universe is mathematics, but how exactly do you know that all parts of the universe 'speak' the same language? Benioff builds on the idea that the entity that gives substance to both mathematics and physics is the fundamental field, called the 'value field'. While exploring this idea, he notices the similarities that the value field shares with several mysterious phenomena in ... Read more

  • A Student's Guide to Entropy

    by Don S. Lemons ...
    Series series Student's Guides
    Striving to explore the subject in as simple a manner as possible, this book helps readers understand the elusive concept of entropy. Innovative aspects of the book include the construction of statistical entropy from desired properties, the derivation of the entropy of classical systems from purely classical assumptions, and a statistical thermodynamics approach to the ideal Fermi and ideal Bose ...

  • The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time

    by S. W. Hawking, G. F. R. Ellis ...
    Series series Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics
    Einstein's General Theory of Relativity leads to two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse and to disappear from view, leaving behind a 'black hole' in space; and secondly, that there will exist singularities in space-time itself. These singularities are places where space-time begins or ends, and the presently known ... Read more

  • Path Integrals In Quantum Mechanics, Statistics, Polymer Physics, And Financial Markets (5th Edition)

    by Hagen Kleinert ...
    This is the fifth, expanded edition of the comprehensive textbook published in 1990 on the theory and applications of path integrals. It is the first book to explicitly solve path integrals of a wide variety of nontrivial quantum-mechanical systems, in particular the hydrogen atom. The solutions have been made possible by two major advances. The first is a new euclidean path integral formula which ... Read more

  • An Introduction to Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics

    by Robert H. Swendsen ...
    Series series Oxford Graduate Texts
    This text presents the two complementary aspects of thermal physics as an integrated theory of the properties of matter. Conceptual understanding is promoted by thorough development of basic concepts. In contrast to many texts, statistical mechanics, including discussion of the required probability theory, is presented first. This provides a statistical foundation for the concept of entropy, which ... Read more

  • Statistical Mechanics

    An Elementary Outline (Revised Edition)

    by Avijith Lahiri ...
    Compared to the previous edition where the quantum theoretic development of the subject was chosen from the very beginning, the present edition chooses the classical theory as the launching pad by introducing a number of key concepts so as to make the subject accessible to a wider section of readers. At the same time, the technical soundness of presentation has been raised to a higher level by way ... Read more
