Hermann von Helmholtzs Mechanism: The Loss of Certainty: A Study on the Transition from Classical to Modern Philosophy of Nature (Archimedes)

Springer, 2008

Two seemingly contradictory tendencies have accompanied the development of the natural sciences in the past 150 years. On the one hand, the natural sciences have been instrumental in effecting a thoroughgoing transformation of social structures and have made a permanent impact on the conceptual world of human beings. This historical period has, on...

Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Introduction (Von Karman Institute Book)

Springer, 2008

Computational Fluid Dynamics: An Introduction grew out of a von Karman Institute (VKI) Lecture Series by the same title first presented in 1985 and repeated with modifications every year since that time.

The objective, then and now, was to present the subject of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to an audience unfamiliar with all but...

Generalized Convexity and Optimization: Theory and Applications (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems)

Springer, 2008

The authors have written a rigorous yet elementary and self-contained book to present, in a unified framework, generalized convex functions, which are the many non-convex functions that share at least one of the valuable properties of convex functions and which are often more suitable for describing real-world problems. The book will be a useful...

How Spacecraft Fly: Spaceflight Without Formulae

Springer, 2008
