Mathematische Methoden anhand von Problemlösungen: Die Werkzeuge des Physikers
by Paul WenkDie mathematischen Sätze gelernt? Die Formeln auch? Nun fehlt noch das Wichtigste: die Anwendung des Gelernten auf Probleme, die über ein einfaches Beispiel hinausgehen. Die mathematischen Werkzeuge, die man sich in jedem naturwissenschaftlichen Studium aneignet, lernt man schließlich erst bei der Bearbeitung von Problemen wirklich kennen. Jedoch kann das Lernen oft frustrierend werden, wenn man die Lösung nicht findet, die Lektüre diese als trivial abtut oder nur schlicht durch eine nackte Zahl ohne erläuternden Kommentar angibt.Das vorliegende Lehrbuch macht die Lesenden mit zentralen mathematischen Werkzeugen für den Physiker vertraut. Dabei werden wichtige Standardaufgaben sowie physikalische Problemstellungen ausführlich gelöst und parallel dazu die Lösungswege diskutiert. Der Schwerpunkt liegt insbesondere auf der Verknüpfung der verschiedenen Aufgaben, und zwar unabhängig vom Schwierigkeitsgrad, so dass das Lösen immer komplexerer Aufgaben schrittweise erleichtert wird. Infolgedessen sind die Lösungen keine bloße Ergänzung, sondern ein zentraler Bestandteil dieses Lehrbuchs.
Mathematische Methoden der Theoretischen Physik | 1: Gewöhnliche Differentialgleichungen – Fourieranalysis - Vektoranalysis
by Gebhard GrüblDas vorliegende Buch behandelt die wichtigsten mathematischen Themen der Vorlesungen über Theoretische Physik. Es ergänzt damit die mathematischen Grundlagen, die Studierende der Physik im Rahmen der Vorlesungen über Analysis und Lineare Algebra vermittelt bekommen. Der Autor verzichtet dabei zwar vielfach auf ausführliche Beweise, nicht aber auf eine präzise Formulierung der Sachverhalte. Zahlreiche physikalische Beispiele sollen ein gründliches Verständnis der mathematischen Zusammenhänge befördern und deren Bedeutung für unser Naturverständnis erschließen. Eine Sammlung von Aufgaben am Ende des jeweiligen Kapitels bietet den Leserinnen und Lesern Gelegenheit zur Übung. Der Inhalt dieses Teils deckt die gewöhnlichen Differentialgleichungen, Fourieranalysis und koordinatenfreie Differentialrechnung in Vektorräumen ab und begleitet mathematisch so die Theorievorlesungen zur Mechanik und Elektrodynamik. Das Buch bietet dabei nicht nur die notwendigen Grundlagen, sondern auch vertiefende Themen, die über den regulären Kanon hinausgehen oder eine konkrete Anwendung des Behandelten aufzeigen. Für eine effiziente Verwendung sind diese Kapitel klar mit einem Stern gekennzeichnet und können damit beim ersten Lesen übersprungen werden. Somit kann dieses Werk begleitend zu den Vorlesungen eingesetzt werden, aber auch darüber hinaus zur eigenständigen Verfestigung quer über verschiedene Themenbereiche hinweg anleiten.
Mathematische Modellierung: Wie funktioniert sie und was kann sie? (essentials)
by Martin JanßenMathematische Modellierung (MM) dient als Planungswerkzeug für Entscheidungen, von denen wir alle zunehmend betroffen sind. Über das Vorgehen und die Aussagekraft von MM ist daher ein grundlegendes Verständnis auch ohne akademische Vorbildung wünschenswert. MM benötigt zwei wesentliche Elemente: Das Auffinden relevanter Einflussgrößen und das Auffinden einer kleinschrittigen Regel, die den Ablauf von Szenarien schrittweise erfasst. Im Text werden prototypische Modelle vorgestellt, die weite Anwendungsbereiche haben. Die Grenzen vom MM ergeben sich aus unvermeidbaren Beschränkungen in der Genauigkeit und sie führen zu einer Verzweigung von Modellen in vernetzte Modellsysteme.
Mathematischer Einführungskurs für die Physik
by Siegfried GroßmannStudierende, die ein Physikstudium aufnehmen, brauchen zu Beginn vor allem eines: mathematische Grundkenntnisse. Da es sich hierbei zunächst um einen relativ beschränkten und charakteristischen Ausschnitt aus der Mathematik handelt, werden die benötigten Kompetenzen vor allem im Rahmen von Tutorien oder Arbeitsgruppen vermittelt. Dieser Einführungskurs soll Studierenden im ersten Semester helfen, die Inhalte dieser Veranstaltungen zu vertiefen und möglichst rechtzeitig die Fähigkeiten zu erwerben, die ein erfolgreiches Physikstudium garantieren.
Matrix Discrete Element Analysis of Geological and Geotechnical Engineering
by Chun LiuThis book introduces the basic structure, modeling methods, numerical calculation processes, post-processing, and system functions of MatDEM, which applies the basic principles and algorithm of the discrete element method. The discrete element method can effectively simulate the discontinuity, inhomogeneity, and large deformation damage of rock and soil. It is widely used in both research and industry. Based on the innovative matrix discrete element computing method, the author developed the high-performance discrete element software MatDEM from scratch, which can handle millions of elements in discrete element numerical simulations. This book also presents several examples of applications in geological and geotechnical engineering, including basic geotechnical engineering problems, discrete element tests, three dimensional landslides, and dynamic and multi-field coupling functions. Teaching videos and the relevant software can be accessed on the MATDEM website (http://matdem.com). The book serves as a useful reference for research and engineering staff, undergraduates, and postgraduates who work in the fields of geology, geotechnical, water conservancy, civil engineering, mining, and physics.
Matrix Operations for Engineers and Scientists
by Alan JeffreyEngineers and scientists need to have an introduction to the basics of linear algebra in a context they understand. Computer algebra systems make the manipulation of matrices and the determination of their properties a simple matter, and in practical applications such software is often essential. However, using this tool when learning about matrices, without first gaining a proper understanding of the underlying theory, limits the ability to use matrices and to apply them to new problems. This book explains matrices in the detail required by engineering or science students, and it discusses linear systems of ordinary differential equations. These students require a straightforward introduction to linear algebra illustrated by applications to which they can relate. It caters of the needs of undergraduate engineers in all disciplines, and provides considerable detail where it is likely to be helpful. According to the author the best way to understand the theory of matrices is by working simple exercises designed to emphasize the theory, that at the same time avoid distractions caused by unnecessary numerical calculations. Hence, examples and exercises in this book have been constructed in such a way that wherever calculations are necessary they are straightforward. For example, when a characteristic equation occurs, its roots (the eigenvalues of a matrix) can be found by inspection. The author of this book is Alan Jeffrey, Emeritus Professor of mathematics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. He has given courses on engineering mathematics at UK and US Universities.
Mawson's Will: The Greatest Survival Story Ever Written
by Sir Edmund Hillary Lennard BickelMAWSON'S WILL is the dramatic story of what Sir Edmund Hillary calls "the most outstanding solo journey ever recorded in Antarctic history." For weeks in Antarctica, Douglas Mawson faced some of the most daunting conditions ever known to man: blistering wind, snow, and cold; loss of his companion, his dogs and supplies, the skin on his hands and the soles of his feet; thirst, starvation, disease, snowblindness - and he survived. Sir Douglas Mawson is remembered as the young Australian who would not go to the South Pole with Robert Scott in 1911, choosing instead to lead his own expedition on the less glamorous mission of charting nearly 1,500 miles of Antarctic coastline and claiming its resources for the British Crown. His party of three set out through the mountains across glaciers in 60-mile-per-hour winds. Six weeks and 320 miles out, one man fell into a crevasse, along with the tent, most of the equipment, all of the dogs' food, and all except a week's supply of the men's provisions.Mawson's Will is the unforgettable story of one man's ingenious practicality and unbreakable spirit and how he continued his meticulous scientific observations even in the face of death. When the expedition was over, Mawson had added more territory to the Antarctic map than anyone else of his time. Thanks to Bickel's moving account, Mawson can be remembered for the vision and dedication that make him one of the world's great explorers."A riveting account . . . makes Mawson's achievement a symbol of the desire to live." -- The New York Times Book Review"A powerful reading experience." -- Publishers WeeklyFrom the Trade Paperback edition.
Maxwell´s Equations: From Current Density Distribution to the Radiation Field of the Hertzian Dipole
by Jürgen DonnevertThis book focuses on the derivation and solution of Maxwell’s equations. The stations along the way include the laws of potential and current density distribution, as well as the laws of electrostatics and stationary magnetic fields. The book is chiefly intended for students of electrical engineering, information technology, and physics; the goal is to prepare them for courses on Electromagnetic Field Theory (EFT). Building on what they have learned in advanced physics and mathematics courses at secondary school or technical college, it is intended to accompany university-level EFT courses. Particular importance is attached to detailed explanations in text form, combined with a wealth of illustrations. All formulas are derived step by step.
Maybe One
by Bill MckibbenFrom the groundbreaking, bestselling author of The End of Nature, a controversial and provocative book arguing that to help the planet we should begin to voluntarily limit our numbers. Bill McKibben's books and essays on our environment -- physical and spiritual -- have shaped and spurred debate since The End of Nature was published in 1989. Then, he sounded one of the earliest alarms about global warming; the decade of science since has proved his prescience. Now, in Maybe One, he takes on the most controversial of environmental problems -- population. We live in a unique and dangerous time, he asserts, when the planet's limits are being tested and voluntary reductions in American childbearing could make a crucial difference. The father of a single child himself, McKibben maintains that bringing one, and no more than one, child into this world will hurt neither your family nor our nation -- indeed, it can be an optimistic step toward the future. Maybe One is not just an environmental argument but a highly personal and philosophical one. McKibben cites new and extensive research about the developmental strengths of only children; he finds that single kids are not spoiled, weird, selfish, or asocial, but pretty much the same as everyone else. McKibben recognizes that the transition to a stable population size won't be easy or pain-free but ultimately is inevitable. Maybe One provides the basis for provocative, powerful thought and discussion that will influence our thinking for decades to come.
