A comprehensive textbook covering classical electromagnetics, including electrostatics, magnetostatics, electromagnetic waves, and transmission lines. Widely used in engineering and physics programs, known for its practical applications and clear explanations.
A classic advanced undergraduate/graduate-level text presenting the theory of electromagnetism within the framework of special relativity. Emphasizes physical insight into relativistic particle dynamics, Lorentz transformations, and covariant formulations of Maxwell’s equations.
This textbook, part of the Universitext series, is designed to bridge the gap between classical geometry and modern undergraduate mathematics. It treats the foundational topics of Euclidean, projective, and hyperbolic geometry using tools familiar to university students, such as linear algebra, group theory, and metric spaces. Based on a course at the University of Edinburgh, the text aims to d…
This textbook is designed to expand geometric knowledge beyond the standard secondary school curriculum. It introduces advanced topics such as concurrency, collinearity, and properties of circles and quadrilaterals (including the nine-point circle and Simson line) through a series of "excursions" that build upon familiar Euclidean principles. By focusing on problem-solving and proofs, the book …
This textbook serves as a rigorous introduction to differential geometry, specifically designed for independent study or as a comprehensive reference work. Walter Poor defines geometric structures by specifying the parallel transport within an appropriate fiber bundle, focusing on linear parallel transport in its simplest forms. The text moves from an introductory overview of fiber bundles into…
Originally published during World War II, this textbook was designed to provide a concise and practical introduction to three-dimensional geometry. It focuses on the fundamental properties of lines, planes, and solids in space, such as prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres. The text is notable for its clear, logical progression and its emphasis on computational problems and applicatio…
This classic undergraduate text provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts and methods that underpin modern mathematics. Part One explores essential tools such as the axiomatic method, set theory, the linear continuum, and the role of groups. Part Two shifts toward the philosophy and history of the field, examining major viewpoints like the Frege-Russell thesis, intuition…
A classic and authoritative reference work on the anatomy of dicotyledonous plants, widely used for taxonomic and anatomical studies in botany.
A detailed taxonomic revision of the tribe Antirrhineae, providing morphological descriptions, classification updates, and identification keys for species within the group.
