The subject of turbulence, the most forbidding in fluid dynamics, has usually proved treacherous to the beginner, caught in the whirls and eddies of its nonlinearities and statistical imponderables. This is the first book specifically designed to offer the student a smooth transitionary course between elementary fluid dynamics (which gives only last-minute attention to turbulen...(展开全部)

This book contains about 500 exercises consisting mostly of special cases and examples, second thoughts and alternative arguments, natural extensions, and some novel departures. With a few obvious exceptions they are neither profound nor trivial, and hints and comments are appended to many of them. If they tend to be somewhat inbred, at least they are relevant to the text and s...(展开全部)

An accessible introduction to string theory, this book provides a detailed and self-contained demonstration of the main concepts involved. The first part deals with basic ideas, reviewing special relativity and electromagnetism while introducing the concept of extra dimensions. D-branes and the classical dynamics of relativistic strings are discussed next, and the quantization ...(展开全部)

This book introduces the theory of modular forms with an eye toward the Modularity Theorem. All rational elliptic curves arise from modular forms. The topics covered include: elliptic curves as complex tori and as algebraic curves, modular curves as Riemann surfaces and as algebraic curves, Hecke operators and Atkin-Lehner theory, Hecke eigenforms and their arithmetic propert...(展开全部)
