Einstein's general theory of relativity -- currently our best theory of gravity -- is important not only to specialists, but to a much wider group of physicists. This short textbook on general relativity and gravitation offers students glimpses of the vast landscape of science connected to general relativity. It incorporates some of the latest research in the field. The book is aimed at readers with a broad range of interests in physics, from cosmology, to gravitational radiation, to high energy physics, to condensed matter theory. The pedagogical approach is "physics first": readers move very quickly to the calculation of observational predictions, and only return to the mathematical founda...
The first comprehensive survey of (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity - for graduate students and researchers.
Leading theorists share their important insights into the ongoing quest of theoretical physics to find a quantum theory of gravity.
This is a short textbook on general relativity and gravitation aimed at readers with a broad range of interests in physics, from cosmology to high energy physics to condensed matter. The approach is "physics first": readers move quickly to the calculation of observational predictions and only then return to mathematical foundations.--
In this text, Cartier and DeWitt-Morette, using their complementary interests and expertise, successfully condense and apply the essentials of Functional Integration to a great variety of systems, showing this mathematically elusive technique to be a robust, user friendly and multipurpose tool.
Understanding soul, spirit, and god through quantum physics and music. The author describes the quantum fields that constitute soul, spirit, and god, how they are accessible to us through music, and what that means for our everyday life.
Was the first book to examine the exciting area of overlap between philosophy and quantum mechanics with chapters by leading experts from around the world.
This accessible volume provides a modern treatment of the cosmological and string-theoretic background necessary to understand inflation in string theory.
This book addresses the cognitive, social, and psychological dimensions that shape students’ mathematics experience to help students become more capable, cooperative, and confident in the process of engaging mathematics. In these ways they can have a more valuable and enjoyable mathematics experience, and become more valued participants in society. The book focuses on the mathematics classroom for students grades six to twelve and how students can become more successful mathematical thinkers, in addition to how the curriculum could be presented so as to provide a more engaging mathematics experience.
Encapsulates the latest debates on this topic, giving researchers and graduate students an up-to-date view of the field.
