本书从物理学而不是数学概念的角度介绍了目前动力系统中均匀双曲吸引子研究的进展小结构稳定的吸引子表现出强烈的*性,但是对于动力系统中函数和参数的变化不敏感。基于双曲混沌的特征,本书将展示如何找到物理系统中的双曲混沌吸引子,以及怎样设计具有双曲混沌的物理系统。 本书可以作为研究生和高年级本科生教材,也可以供大学教授以及物理学、机械学和工程学相关研究人员参考。
It's hard to talk about The Origin of Species without making statements that seem overwrought and fulsome. But it's true: this is indeed one of the most important and influential books ever written, and it is one of the very few groundbreaking works of science that is truly readable. To a certain extent it suffers from the Hamlet problem--it's full of clichés! Or what are now clichés, but which Darwin was the first to pen. Natural selection, variation, the struggle for existence, survival of the fittest: it's all in here. Darwin's friend and "bulldog" T.H. Huxley said upon reading the Origin, "How extremely stupid of me not to have thought of that." Alfred Russel Wallace had thought of the same theory of evolution Darwin did, but it was Darwin who gathered the mass of supporting evidence--on domestic animals and plants, on variability, on sexual selection, on dispersal--that swept most scientists before it. It's hardly necessary to mention that the book is still controversial: Darwin's remark in
'Spiegelman has turned the exuberant fantasy of comics insideout by giving us the most incredible fantasy in comics' history:something that actually occurred. MAUS is terrifying not for itsbrutality, but for its tenderness and guilt' New Yorker MAUS iswidely renowned as one of the greatest pieces of art and literatureever written about the Holocaust. It is adored by readers andstudied in colleges and universities all over the world. But whatled Art Spiegelman to tell his father's story in the first place?Why did he choose to depict the Jews as mice? How could a comicbook confront the terror and brutality of the worst atrocity of thetwentieth century? To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the book'sfirst publication, MetaMAUS, prepared by the author, is a vitalcompanion to the classic text and includes never-before-seensketches, rough and alternate drafts, family and reference photos,notebook and diary entries and the tran* of his interviewswith his father Vladek as well as a long interview with Art, inw
Programming Legend Charles Petzold unlocks the secrets of theextraordinary and prescient 1936 paper by Alan M. Turing Mathematician Alan Turing invented an imaginary computer knownas the Turing Machine; in an age before computers, he explored theconcept of what it meant to be computable, creating the field ofcomputability theory in the process, a foundation of present-daycomputer programming. The book expands Turing’s original 36-page paper withadditional background chapters and extensive annotations; theauthor elaborates on and clarifies many of Turing’s statements,making the original difficult-to-read document accessible topresent day programmers, computer science majors, math geeks, andothers. Interwoven into the narrative are the highlights of Turing’sown life: his years at Cambridge and Princeton, his secret work incryptanalysis during World War II, his involvement in seminalcomputer projects, his speculations about artificial intelligence,his arrest and prosecution for the cr
David Carroll has dedicated his life to art and to wetlands.He is as passionate about swamps, bogs, and vernal ponds and thecreatures who live in them as most of us are about our families andclosest friends. He knows frogs and snakes, muskrats and minks,dragonflies, water lilies, cattails, sedges--everything that swims,flies, trudges, slithers, or sinks its roots in wet places. In this"intimate and wise book" (Sue Hubbell), Carroll takes us on alively, unforgettable yearlong journey, illustrated with his ownelegant drawings, through the wetlands and reveals why they are soimportant to his life and ours -- and to all life on Earth.
The publication of Darwin’s The Origin of Species in 1859marked a dramatic turning point in scientific thought. The volumehad taken Darwin more than twenty years to publish, in part becausehe envisioned the storm of controversy it was certain to unleash.Indeed, selling out its first edition on its first day, The Originof Species revolutionized science, philosophy, and theology. Darwin’s reasoned, documented arguments carefully advance histheory of natural selection and his assertion that species were notcreated all at once by a divine hand but started with a few simpleforms that mutated and adapted over time. Whether commenting on hisown poor health, discussing his experiments to test instinct inbees, or relating a conversation about a South American burrowingrodent, Darwin’s monumental achievement is surprisingly personaland delightfully readable. Its profound ideas remain controversialeven today, making it the most influential book in the naturalsciences ever written—an important work n
An exciting new edition of a classic text. Howard Georgi isthe co-inventor (with Sheldon Glashow) of the SU(5) theory. Thisextensively revised and updated edition of his classic text makesthe theory of Lie groups accessible to graduate students, whileoffering a perspective on the way in which knowledge of such groupscan provide an insight into the development of unified theories ofstrong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions.
Six lectures, all regarding the most revolutionary discoveryin twentieth-century physics: Einsteins Theory of Relativity. Noonenot even Einstein himselfexplained these difficult,anti-intuitive concepts more clearly, or with more verve and gusto,than Feynman.
Timeless andcollectible, The Feynman Lectures on Physics are essential reading,not just for students of physics, but for anyone seeking aninsightful introduction to the field from the inimitable Richard P.Feynman. “When I look atThe Feynman Lectures on Physics, I feel a very personal sense ofcloseness to them,” said Feynman, looking back on the origins ofthese books. Ranging from basic Newtonian dynamics through suchformidable theories as Einstein’s relativity, Maxwell’selectrodynamics, and Dirac’s forumulation of quantum mechanics,these collected lectures stand as a monument to clear expositionand deep insight—and to Feynman’s deep connection with thefield. Originally deliveredto students at Caltech and later fashioned by co-authors Robert B.Leighton and Matthew Sands into a unique te xtbook, thecelebrated Feynman Lectures on Physics allows us to experience oneof the twentieth century’s greatest minds. This new editionfeatures improved typography, figures, and inde
What does E=mc2 actually mean? Dr. Brian Cox and ProfessorJeff Forshaw go on a journey to the frontier of twenty-firstcentury science to unpack Einstein’s famous equation. Explainingand simplifying notions of energy, mass, and light—while explodingcommonly held misconceptions—they demonstrate how the structure ofnature itself is contained within this equation. Along the way, wevisit the site of one of the largest scientific experiments everconducted: the now-famous Large Hadron Collider, a giganticparticle accelerator capable of re-creating conditions that existedfractions of a second after the Big Bang. A collaboration between one of the youngest professors in theUnited Kingdom and a distinguished popular physicist, Why DoesE=mc2? is one of the most exciting and accessible explanations ofthe theory of relativity.
