Presenting classic thermodynamics as a concise and discrete whole, "Mere Thermodynamics" is a perfect tool for teaching a notoriously difficult subject.Don S. Lemons introduces the physical theory's concepts and methods and uses them to solve common physics problems, illustrating at a gentle pace advanced concepts, such as the relationship between ...
An accessible introduction to stochastic processes in physics which describes the basic mathematical tools of the trade: probability, random walks, and Wiener and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. It includes end-of-chapter problems and emphasizes applications. The book builds directly upon early-20th-century explanations of the "peculiar character in ...
What does the path taken by a ray of light share with the trajectory of a thrown baseball and the curve of a wheat stalk bending in the breeze? Each is the subject of a different study yet all are optimal shapes; light rays minimize travel time while a thrown baseball minimizes action. All natural curves and shapes, and many artificial ones, ...
