A First Course in Computational Physics

Computers and computation are extremely important components of physics and should be integral parts of a physicist’s education. Furthermore, computational physics is reshaping the way calculations are made in all areas of physics. Intended for the physics and engineering students who have completed the introductory physics course, A First Course in Computational Physics, Second Edition covers the different types of computational problems using MATLAB with exercises developed around problems of physical interest. Topics such as root finding, Newton-Cotes integration, and ordinary differential equations are included and presented in the context of physics problems. A few topics rarely seen ...

Remembering Santayana

During the prologue to the Iraq War of 2003, George W. Bush repeatedly employed the example of Japan to advocate why Iraq could be remade as a democratic state within the Western alliance. If a nation as divergent and unique as Japan could be agreeably transformed, he reasoned, any nation could. The bulk of the pre-war assumptions of George W. Bush have long since been derided but this particular premise remains broadly held. Even today, when failure is plain to see, there is still a general sense that Iraq will ultimately emerge as another 'Japan'. Remembering Santayana, inspired in its title by the adage of the Spanish-born philosopher, George Santayana, that "those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it", sets out why this assumption by George W. Bush was, and remains, fundamentally wrong. It revisits the history of interaction between the West and Japan, identifies the problems which misconceptions have spawned and sets out a course for a future in which lessons are learnt rather than mistakes remade.

"A master of composition and technique, De Vries was relatively unknown until the J. Paul Getty Museum's groundbreaking 1999 exhibition, Adriaen de Vries: Imperial Sculptor, which firmly established the artist's reputation and afforded a rare opportunity to study in depth a large group of bronzes. This heavily illustrated volume presents the results of the technical study of twenty-five bronzes from the exhibition. Introductory chapters provide background on the artist and technical methodologies. Subsequent chapters present case studies of individual statues, revealing the methods and materials used in their creation"--Publisher's website.

Discrimination and Privacy in the Information Society

Vast amounts of data are nowadays collected, stored and processed, in an effort to assist in making a variety of administrative and governmental decisions. These innovative steps considerably improve the speed, effectiveness and quality of decisions. Analyses are increasingly performed by data mining and profiling technologies that statistically and automatically determine patterns and trends. However, when such practices lead to unwanted or unjustified selections, they may result in unacceptable forms of discrimination. Processing vast amounts of data may lead to situations in which data controllers know many of the characteristics, behaviors and whereabouts of people. In some cases, analys...

Now, a new case for the unpredictable Colonel Vaughn de Vries casts a light on the original enquiry; for him, a personal failure which has haunted him for those seven years and has cost him his marriage and peace of mind. A former British government agent, friend to De Vries, provides intelligence on this new case, but is any of it admissible? Struggling in a mire of departmental and racial rivalry, De Vries seeks the whole truth and unravels a complex history of abuse, deception and murder. Challenging friends, colleagues and enem...
