Culture, in fact, also plays an important role in science which is, per se, a multitude of different cultures. The book attempts to build a bridge across three cultures: mathematical statistics, quantum theory and chemometrical methods. Of course, these three domains should not be taken as equals in any sense. But the book holds the important claim that it is possible to develop a common language which, at least to a certain extent, can create direct links and build bridges. From this point of departure, the book will be of interest to the following three types of scientists OCo statisticians, quantum physicists and chemometricians OCo and in particular, statisticians and physicists who are ...
This book describes the history of Jordan algebras and describes in full mathematical detail the recent structure theory for Jordan algebras of arbitrary dimension due to Efim Zel'manov. Jordan algebras crop up in many surprising settings, and find application to a variety of mathematical areas. No knowledge is required beyond standard first-year graduate algebra courses.
Walter Thirring is the last offspring of an Austrian family of scientists. In this moving narrative, he describes how he survived the Nazi occupation and became instrumental in reconstructing European science. Thirring is one of the last living physicists who worked on the greatest discoveries and with the greatest scientists of the 20th century. He recollects encounters with the old masters like Einstein, Schrdinger, Heisenberg, Pauli and others as well as his collaborations with the present stars like Murray Gell-Mann and Elliott Lieb. The book presents the challenges faced when one of the major paradigm shifts took place, namely, the shift away from atomistic theory and Newtonian physic...
This volume records the proceedings of an international conference that explored recent developments and the interaction between mathematical theory and physical phenomena.
'This is a book to be read and worked with. For a beginning graduate student, this can be a valuable experience which at some points in fact leads up to recent research. For such a reader there is also historical information included and many comments aiming at an overview. It is inspiring and original how old material is combined and mixed with new material. There is always something unexpected included in each chapter, which one is thankful to see explained in this context and not only in research papers which are more difficult to access.'Mathematical Reviews ClippingsThe book features new directions in analysis, with an emphasis on Hilbert space, mathematical physics, and stochastic proc...
