Download or read book Explorations in Mathematical Physics written by Don Koks and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-09-15 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered why the language of modern physics centres on geometry? Or how quantum operators and Dirac brackets work? What a convolution really is? What tensors are all about? Or what field theory and lagrangians are, and why gravity is described as curvature? This book takes you on a tour of the main ideas forming the language of modern mathematical physics. Here you will meet novel approaches to concepts such as determinants and geometry, wave function evolution, statistics, signal processing, and three-dimensional rotations. You will see how the accelerated frames of special relativity tell us about gravity. On the journey, you will discover how tensor notation relates to vector calculus, how differential geometry is built on intuitive concepts, and how variational calculus leads to field theory. You will meet quantum measurement theory, along with Green functions and the art of complex integration, and finally general relativity and cosmology. The book takes a fresh approach to tensor analysis built solely on the metric and vectors, with no need for one-forms. This gives a much more geometrical and intuitive insight into vector and tensor calculus, together with general relativity, than do traditional, more abstract methods. Don Koks is a physicist at the Defence Science and Technology Organisation in Adelaide, Australia. His doctorate in quantum cosmology was obtained from the Department of Physics and Mathematical Physics at Adelaide University. Prior work at the University of Auckland specialised in applied accelerator physics, along with pure and applied mathematics.

Download or read book Symmetry written by Kristopher Tapp and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-28 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook is perfect for a math course for non-math majors, with the goal of encouraging effective analytical thinking and exposing students to elegant mathematical ideas. It includes many topics commonly found in sampler courses, like Platonic solids, Euler’s formula, irrational numbers, countable sets, permutations, and a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. All of these topics serve a single compelling goal: understanding the mathematical patterns underlying the symmetry that we observe in the physical world around us. The exposition is engaging, precise and rigorous. The theorems are visually motivated with intuitive proofs appropriate for the intended audience. Students from all majors will enjoy the many beautiful topics herein, and will come to better appreciate the powerful cumulative nature of mathematics as these topics are woven together into a single fascinating story about the ways in which objects can be symmetric.
Download or read book Explorations in Algebra written by and published by CRDG. This book was released on 2003 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compatible instructional component to any algebra textbook and was developed by University of Hawaii under the Dwight D. Eisenhower Mathematics and Science Education Improvement Act. The tasks align with the content and instructional approach used in daily classes that emphasize standards-based teaching and learning. The tasks include problem solving, manipulatives, and open-ended questions that let students demonstrate their understanding in different ways. Each topic has multiple labs that can be used at points throughout related chapters giving students the opportunity to enhance their understanding of the concepts or to bridge concepts to skills. Some labs use manipulatives such as algebra tiles or graphing calculators. Each lab includes a problem solving experience. Chapters include: (1) "Problem Solving"; (2) "Real Numbers"; (3) "Algebraic Expressions"; (4) "Equations and Inequalities"; (5) "Graphing"; (6) "Systems of Equations and Inequalities"; (7) "Polynomials"; (8) "Products and Factors"; (9) "Quadratic Equations"; and (10) "Rational Expressions and Equations".

Download or read book Exporations in College Algebra written by Linda Almgren Kime and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1996-08-16 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed in the spirit of the calculus reform movement this innovative textbook changes college algebra from an instructor-centered lecture format to a student-centered learning experience. The first half explores algebra applied to social sciences and the latter half to physical and life sciences. Throughout, students collect data, organize data sets, and share their observations in both written and verbal form. An anthology of readings in the back of the book deepens the understanding of special topics and demonstrates how mathematics relates to everyday life.
Download or read book The Shape of Algebra in the Mirrors of Mathematics written by Gabriel Katz and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2012 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shape of Algebra is the authors' attempt to share their mathematical experiences with readers who have more than a passing interest in mathematics, but have only a traditional exposure to elementary algebra. Secondary school and college teachers and students who want to expand their horizons in the field will find a fresh presentation of familiar concepts and some unexpected results. This book serves as a text for an "appreciation" course in modern mathematics designed for non-mathematics majors or for first-year students who are considering the possibility of studying mathematics or related disciplines. It can also serve as a source of computer-supported activities that could supplement traditional courses in algebra, multivariable calculus, and complex variable. This book gives the reader a sense of the visual nature of mathematics. Mathematical experiments with universal mapping software VisuMatica, designed by Vladimir Nodel'man, form the very core of the book. Readers are encouraged to reproduce, play with, and expand on these experiments. Numerous problems are interspersed throughout the text to guide the reader. Our treatment of standard algebra is visual and computational. By introducing visual computational environments like VisuMatica, our book promotes this geometric approach to algebra and makes it accessible to readers a great deal earlier. The book will enable our readers to approach its content on three levels: the first one which requires only some fluency with elementary algebraic manipulations; the second one which also presumes familiarity with the notions of derivatives and tangent lines to plane curves, and the third one which uses some basic concepts of multivariable calculus. All three levels are clearly marked in the text, and will allow for a smooth reading and virtual experiments, regardless of the level that our readers will find comfortable.
