Download or read book Accounting and Science written by Michael Power and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-06-28 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years policy makers and scientists have become increasingly interested in the economics of science, and in particular in the relationship between accounting and science. This book, originally published as a special issue of the journal Science in Context , provides a truly interdisciplinary approach to this subject. The contributors explore, in a number of different ways, the constitutive role that practices of economic calculation play in the conduct of science and the forms of economic life within which science is embedded. Challenging conventional views, they suggest that if scientific and accounting practices are to be properly understood, they must be studied in relation to a complex background of specialist communities, funding institutions and demands for public accountability. This book will be invaluable for scholars and policy makers working in the field.
Download or read book Invitation to Contemporary Physics written by Q Ho-Kim and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1991-10-18 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the exhilarating sense of discovery in the realm of physics has almost become the exclusive right of the specialist in the field. Books on contemporary physics tend to be oversimplified or too technical for the general reader to gain a proper appreciation of the appeal that this scientific quest holds for the modern-day physicist. Invitation To Contemporary Physics, however, offers a unique opportunity for the layman or new student to share in the fascination and excitement of seven of the most enthralling areas at the research frontiers of modern day physics: lasers, superconductivity, symmetries, chaos, the evolution of stars, elementary particles and cosmology. Organized into independent chapters, the book allows the reader to delve into each topic separately. Each chapter is also designed to commence at an elementary level, thus requiring little prior background knowledge from the reader. It is then developed in stages of increasing difficulty, but in such a way that any keen and determined reader will be able to comprehend. Emphasis is placed on understanding the basic principles behind the facts and ideas. The excitement and fascination in the intellectual pursuit of present-day physics is far too compelling to be left solely to the experts. The authors in this Invitation To Contemporary Physics have therefore answered the challenge of bringing it all home to the general reader. This book serves as a captivating introduction to modern-day physics for the layman, and is also an ideal reference text for a university course aiming at a general survey of contemporary physics. Contents:Lasers and Physics:Applications of LasersQuantum OpticsSuperconductivity:Zero Electrical ResistanceInfinite Magnetic ReluctanceSome Macroscopic Quantum EffectsSymmetry of Nature and Nature of Symmetry:Space-time, Reflection, and Gauge SymmetriesSpontaneous Symmetry BreakingChaos: Chance Out of Necessity:Fractal and Strange AttractorsBright Stars and Black Holes:The Birth of StarsThe Final States of StarsThe Innermost Secrets of the Universe:Quantum Numbers, Conservation Laws, and SymmetryGauge TheoriesCosmology:The Big BangThe Fate of the UniverseInflationary UniverseCosmology and Particle PhysicsAppendices, Glossary, Indexand others Readership: Scientists, engineers, science writers and journalists, and university students. keywords: “This book will appeal to a variety of readers-students and practitioners in one branch of physics interested in others, those in the other sciences wishing to acquaint themselves with recent advances in physics, and also nonscientists provided they are willing to put in a little effort. As a whole the book is imaginatively conceived and excellently executed.” N Mukunda IIS, Bangalore “This book covers a wide range of topics, from elementary particles through lasers and superconductivity to astrophysics and cosmology, with even a chapter on chaos thrown in. Between them, the authors are able to give an inside and up to date view of all fields. The basic principles as well as the various applications of the phenomena are addressed. I can strongly recommend this book to all with an inquisitive mind and an urge to better understand the secrets of Nature.” Paul Hoyer University of Helsinki “… the general reader will surely find it a splendid guide to the marvellous adventure that is physics, the mature physicist will find true pleasure in retracing well-loved paths that you set out in attractive ways, knitting the various paradigms and theories into a compelling whole.” Larkin Kerwin, CC, FRS (Can) Université Laval
Download or read book Higher Mathematics for Physics and Engineering written by Hiroyuki Shima and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-04-12 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the rapid expansion of the frontiers of physics and engineering, the demand for higher-level mathematics is increasing yearly. This book is designed to provide accessible knowledge of higher-level mathematics demanded in contemporary physics and engineering. Rigorous mathematical structures of important subjects in these fields are fully covered, which will be helpful for readers to become acquainted with certain abstract mathematical concepts. The selected topics are: - Real analysis, Complex analysis, Functional analysis, Lebesgue integration theory, Fourier analysis, Laplace analysis, Wavelet analysis, Differential equations, and Tensor analysis. This book is essentially self-contained, and assumes only standard undergraduate preparation such as elementary calculus and linear algebra. It is thus well suited for graduate students in physics and engineering who are interested in theoretical backgrounds of their own fields. Further, it will also be useful for mathematics students who want to understand how certain abstract concepts in mathematics are applied in a practical situation. The readers will not only acquire basic knowledge toward higher-level mathematics, but also imbibe mathematical skills necessary for contemporary studies of their own fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics is the study of matter and energy. Interactions of matter and energy create everything, from the thunderous roar of a waterfall to the crackling sizzle of an egg frying in a pan. Physicists understand those complex events by studying simpler ones. Supporting the Next Generation Science Standards, this book, which features lively text enhanced by full-color images and straightforward activities, illustrates how the study of simple events can improve comprehension of the complex physical world. Readers will hone their observational skills and begin to understand the common threads that link distinct observations.

Download or read book Symposia on Theoretical Physics written by Alladi Ramakrishnan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of this series is devoted to the Proceedings of the Second Anniversary Symposium under the chairmanship of the Niels Bohr Visiting Professor of the year - Professor L. Rosenfeld, Deputy Director of NORDIT A, Copenhagen, and the Editor of Nuclear Physics. With particular appropriateness, the Symposium was inaugu rated by the Honorable C. Subramaniam, Union Cabinet Minister, the founding father of the Institute. The meeting was characterized by two features: (1) the enlargement of the scope of the discussions in theoretical physics, with the inclusion of many-body problems and statistical mechanics! (2) Seminars on pure mathematics, stimulated by the prdence and participation of Professor Marshall H. Stone of Chicago as the First Ramanujan Visit ing Professor at the Institute. The year 1963 marked a new stage in the development of high energy physics - the first successes of SU (3) symmetry and the eight fold way had such an impact on the scientific world that the hard, unyielding domain of strong interactions was now again open to ex ploration. The volume opens with two significant lectures by Sudarshan and O'Raifeartaigh on fundamental problems relating to internal sym metries. The theory of Regge poles, after its initial triumph, met with rough weather, the nature and intensity of which can be realized from the series of discussions in this volume.
