Download or read book The Visual Guide to Extra Dimensions written by Chris McMullen and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2009-03-05 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AUTHOR: Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in particle physics from Oklahoma State University. Dr. McMullen currently teaches physics at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. His background on the geometry and physics of a possible fourth dimension of space includes a half-dozen research papers on the prospects of discovering large extra dimensions at the Large Hadron Collider. DESCRIPTION: While Volume 1 covered the geometry of extra dimensions in detail, Volume 2 focuses on the physics of extra string-inspired dimensions. Consider the problem and solution of expressing the cross product in higher dimensions. See the effect that the extra flux of field lines has on Gauss's law in higher dimensions. Explore how extra dimensions may be hidden via compactification. Discover the recent motivation for the case of extra dimensions that are much larger than originally predicted by string theory. Read about current and upcoming experiments with the potential to detect the presence of large extra dimensions in our universe. Learn the fundamentals of special and general relativity, quantum mechanics, and string theory, and how these relate to extra dimensions... All on this visual introduction to the fourth and higher dimensions. This guide is conceptually and visually detailed, intended for mathematically-minded readers who may have not yet been exposed to calculus. PUZZLES: Several puzzles are included to challenge the reader to contemplate the fourth dimension. Answers are included at the back of the book.

Download or read book Spaceland written by Rudy Rucker and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2003-07-04 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joe Cube is a Silicon Valley hotshot--well, a would-be hotshot anyway--hoping that the 3-D TV project he's managing will lead to the big money IPO he's always dreamed of. On New Year's Eve, hoping to impress his wife, he sneaks home the prototype. It brings no new warmth to their cooling relationship, but it does attract someone else's attention. When Joe sees a set of lips talking to him (floating in midair) and feels the poke of a disembodied finger (inside him), it's not because of the champagne he's drunk. He has just met Momo, a woman from the All, a world of four spatial dimensions for whom our narrow world, which she calls Spaceland, is something like a rug, but one filled with motion and life. Momo has a business proposition for Joe, an offer she won't let him refuse. The upside potential becomes much clearer to him once she helps him grow a new eye (on a stalk) that can see in the fourth-dimensional directions, and he agrees. After that it's a wild ride through a million-dollar night in Las Vegas, a budding addiction to tasty purple 4-D food, a failing marriage, eye-popping excursions into the All, and encounters with Momo's foes, rubbery red critters who steal money, offer sage advice and sometimes messily explode. Joe is having the time of his life, until Momo's scheme turns out to have angles he couldn't have imagined. Suddenly the fate of all life here in Spaceland is at stake. Rudy Rucker is a past master at turning mathematical concepts into rollicking science fiction adventure, from Spacetime Donuts and White Light to The Hacker and the Ants. In the tradition of Edwin A. Abbott's classic novel, Flatland, Rucker gives us a tour of higher mathematics and visionary realities. Spaceland is Flatland on hyperdrive! At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Download or read book Visual Complex Analysis written by Tristan Needham and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This radical first course on complex analysis brings a beautiful and powerful subject to life by consistently using geometry (not calculation) as the means of explanation. Aimed at undergraduate students in mathematics, physics, and engineering, the book's intuitive explanations, lack of advanced prerequisites, and consciously user-friendly prose style will help students to master the subject more readily than was previously possible. The key to this is the book's use of new geometric arguments in place of the standard calculational ones. These geometric arguments are communicated with the aid of hundreds of diagrams of a standard seldom encountered in mathematical works. A new approach to a classical topic, this work will be of interest to students in mathematics, physics, and engineering, as well as to professionals in these fields.
