  • From Financial Crisis to Stagnation

    The Destruction of Shared Prosperity and the Role of Economics

    by Thomas I. Palley ...
    The US economy today is confronted with the prospect of extended stagnation. This book explores why. Thomas I. Palley argues that the Great Recession and destruction of shared prosperity is due to flawed economic policy over the past thirty years. One flaw was the growth model adopted after 1980 that relied on debt and asset price inflation to fuel growth instead of wages. A second flaw was the ... Read more

  • Thermodynamics

    A Dynamical Systems Approach

    by Wassim M. Haddad, VijaySekhar Chellaboina, Sergey G. Nersesov ...
    Series series Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics
    This book places thermodynamics on a system-theoretic foundation so as to harmonize it with classical mechanics. Using the highest standards of exposition and rigor, the authors develop a novel formulation of thermodynamics that can be viewed as a moderate-sized system theory as compared to statistical thermodynamics. This middle-ground theory involves deterministic large-scale dynamical system ... Read more

  • What Are Tensors Exactly?

    by Hongyu Guo ...
    Tensors have numerous applications in physics and engineering. There is often a fuzzy haze surrounding the concept of tensor that puzzles many students. The old-fashioned definition is difficult to understand because it is not rigorous; the modern definitions are difficult to understand because they are rigorous but at a cost of being more abstract and less intuitive.The goal of this book is to ...

  • Canonical Quantum Gravity: Fundamentals And Recent Developments

    by Francesco Cianfrani, Orchidea Maria Lecian, Matteo Lulli, Giovanni Montani ...
    This book aims to present a pedagogical and self-consistent treatment of the canonical approach to Quantum Gravity, starting from its original formulation to the most recent developments in the field.We start with an innovative and enlightening introduction to the formalism and concepts on which General Relativity has been built, giving all the information necessary in the later analysis. A brief ... Read more

  • Quantum Gravity

    by Claus Kiefer ...
    The search for a quantum theory of the gravitational field is one of the great open problems in theoretical physics. This book presents a self-contained discussion of the concepts, methods and applications that can be expected in such a theory. The two main approaches to its construction -- the direct quantisation of Einstein's general theory of relativity and string theory -- are covered. Whereas ... Read more

  • Mathematical Analysis of Deterministic and Stochastic Problems in Complex Media Electromagnetics

    by G. F. Roach, Ioannis G. Stratis, A. N. Yannacopoulos ...
    Series series Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics
    Electromagnetic complex media are artificial materials that affect the propagation of electromagnetic waves in surprising ways not usually seen in nature. Because of their wide range of important applications, these materials have been intensely studied over the past twenty-five years, mainly from the perspectives of physics and engineering. But a body of rigorous mathematical theory has also ... Read more

  • Micromechanics of Fracture and Damage

    by Luc Dormieux, Djimedo Kondo ...
    This book deals with the mechanics and physics of fractures at various scales. Based on advanced continuum mechanics of heterogeneous media, it develops a rigorous mathematical framework for single macrocrack problems as well as for the effective properties of microcracked materials. In both cases, two geometrical models of cracks are examined and discussed: the idealized representation of the ... Read more
