Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (6th, Sixth Edition) - By J.M. Smith, H.C Van Ness, M.M. Abbott

Science & Math

Physics

This unique book complements traditional textbooks by providing a visual yet rigorous survey of the mathematics used in theoretical physics beyond that typically covered in undergraduate math and physics courses. The exposition is pedagogical but compact, and the emphasis is on defining and visualizing concepts and relationships between them, as well as listing common confusions, alternative notations and jargon, and relevant facts and theorems. Special attention is given to detailed figures and geometric viewpoints. Certain topics which are well covered in textbooks, such as historical motivations, proofs and derivations, and tools for practical calculations, are avoided. The primary physical models targeted are general relativity, spinors, and gauge theories, with notable chapters on Riemannian geometry, Clifford algebras, and fiber bundles. Contents: Mathematical Structures Abstract Algebra Vector Algebras Topological Spaces Algebraic Topology Manifolds Lie Groups Clifford Groups Riemannian Manifolds Fiber Bundles Categories and Functors Readership: Students in mathematics and physics who want to explore a level deeper into actual mathematical content.

From seers to scientists, mystics to meteorologists, there have always been peoplewho claim to know what will happen in the future. The Oracle at Delphi, Pythagoras, Newton and the stock analyst on a business report have all endeavoured to look forward in time. But even with recent technological advances and the help of computers and satellites, are we any better at predicting the future now than we were in the distant past? How can scientists claim to foresee future climate events when even three-day forecasts prove a serious challenge?In Apollo’s Arrow, David Orrell looks at the history of prognostication to show how scientists (and charlatans) have tried to forecast the future. He then breaks down the mathematics of what really goes into apredictive model. Orrell has created a compelling, elegantly written history of our future that addresses some of the most important issues of our time.

What warps when you're traveling at warp speed? 
 What's the difference between a holodeck and a hologram? 
 What happens when you get beamed up? 
 What's the difference between a wormhole and a black hole? 
 What is antimatter, and why does the Enterprise need it? 
 Are time loops really possible, and can I kill my grandmother before I am born? 
 Discover the answers to these and many other fascinating questions from a renowned physicist and dedicated Trekker. 
 Featuring a section on the top ten physics bloopers and blunders in Star Trek as selected by Nobel-Prize winning physicists and other devout Trekkers! 
 "Today's science fiction is often tomorrow's science fact. The physics that underlines Star Trek is surely worth investigating. To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit." --From the foreword by Stephen Hawking
