Well-organized text designed to complement graduate-level physics texts in classical mechanics, electricity, magnetism, and quantum mec hanics. Topics include theory of vector spaces, analytic function theory, Green's function method of solving differential and partial differential equations, theory of groups, more. Many problems, suggestions for further reading. This textbook ...(展开全部)

This book presents in a pedagogical yet complete way correlated systems in one dimension. Recent progress in nanotechnology and material research have made one dimensional systems a crucial part of today's physics. After an introduction to the basic concepts of correlated systems, the book gives a step by step description of the techniques needed to treat one dimension, and dis...(展开全部)

This book is an introduction to a new rapidly developing theory of quantum computing. It begins with the basics of classical theory of computation: Turing machines, Boolean circuits, parallel algorithms, probabilistic computation, NP-complete problems, and the idea of complexity of an algorithm. The second part of the book provides an exposition of quantum computation theory. I...(展开全部)

Quantum theory is so shocking that Einstein could not bring himself to accept it. It is so important that it provides the fundamental underpinning of all modern sciences. Without it, we'd have no nuclear power or nuclear weapons, no TV, no computers, no science of molecular biology, no understanding of DNA, no genetic engineering. In Search of Schrodinger's Cat tells the comp...(展开全部)

Written for advanced undergraduates, physicists, and historians and philosophers of physics, this book tells the story of the development of our understanding of quantum phenomena through the extraordinary years of the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rather than following the standard axiomatic approach, this book adopts a historical perspective, explaining clearl...(展开全部)

约翰·格里宾，剑桥大学天体物理学博士，英国苏塞克斯大学客座研究员，《新科学家》杂志顾问，一位卓有成就的理论天体物理学家。他学识渊博，涉猎广泛，科学研究之余创作了大量的畅销科普书，包括《寻找薛定谔的猫》、《奥米伽点》、《大爆炸探秘》、《宇宙的发端》、《迷人的科学风采——费恩曼传》等。他的书已翻译成多种语言，在英国和美国都获得过奖励。他也撰写科幻作品。约翰·格里宾现与妻子玛丽(也是一位科普作家)和两个儿子住在苏塞克斯。

The search began with Darwin's historic voyage on the Beagle and it continues today in the laboratories of the genetic engineers. How did life on earth begin? What is the key to evolution that insures only the fittest survive? How do we differ from other species? And how might tomorrow's scientists read—and alter—the biological blueprint to eliminate disease, birth defects, and...(展开全部)

Hilary Putnam's unceasing self-criticism has led to the frequent changes of mind he is famous for, but his thinking is also marked by considerable continuity. A simultaneous interest in science and ethics - unusual in the current climate of contention - has long characterized his thought. In "Philosophy in an Age of Science", Putnam collects his papers for publication - his fir...(展开全部)
