Yefremov provides insights into the tight connection between fundamental math and mechanics, demonstrating that quantum, classical, and relativistic mechanics can be regarded as links of a single theoretical chain readily extracted from a simple mathematical medium.
This book provides insights into the tight connection between fundamental math and mechanics, the basic grounding of physics. It demonstrates that quantum, classical, and relativistic mechanics, historically (and separately) formulated upon an experimental basis, can be regarded as links of a single theoretical chain readily extracted from a simple mathematical medium. It uses mathematical tools to endow formerly abstract entities, such as quantum wave-function and classical action function, with original and clear geometric images, strongly simplifying them. The book comprises the author’s lectures, manual texts, typical problems and tests, and many illustrations, and will be of interest to students of all levels majoring in mathematics, physics and advanced engineering programs.
This book explores statistical physics, focusing on subjects from condensed matter to black holes. It discusses gas-liquid transitions, the entropy of earthquakes, the hadronization of the quark-gluon plasma, and the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics.
This book presents physical kinetics from a unique angle, deriving the Boltzmann equation from atomic motion using Landau’s elementary excitations. It details the kinetic theory of classical gas and plasma, the lifetime of phonons, and the features of superconductivity.
This book uses complexity research to overcome the categorizations and opposites that limit our descriptions of existence. It offers innovative philosophical insights to arrive at a unified vision of nature and society, governed by the same laws of non-linearity.
This book presents a theory of nonlinear response in charged media, yielding Burnett transport coefficients to model heat and mass flows. It applies these methods to extreme scenarios, from gas-phase nuclear reactors to a spacecraft landing on Mars. For specialists.
Celebrating Paolo Grigolini’s 50-year legacy in non-equilibrium statistical physics. This collection explores his pioneering work on the quantum-classical connection, anomalous diffusion, and new methods for detecting scaling in time series.
This book unveils a systems theory where fractal fluctuations are signatures of quantum-like chaos. Based on statistical physics, the model predicts a distribution that is near-normal for moderate events but exhibits a fat long tail associated with hazardous extreme events.
