This fourth edition of Logan’s widely-used textbook provides a clear introduction to the finite element method (FEM), focusing on both the mathematical foundations and real-world engineering applications. Emphasis is placed on structural mechanics, with supporting content for thermal and fluid problems. The book includes problem sets, worked examples, and integration with FEM software tools.
"Roads to Geometry" introduces students to both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries from an axiomatic perspective. The book emphasizes clear reasoning and logical structure, making it ideal for future math educators and undergraduate mathematics majors. Topics include constructions, transformations, and proof writing.
This volume brings together leading researchers in coding theory, algebraic geometry, and communications to explore the common mathematical structures underlying their fields. The contributions stem from the IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute and offer insight into modern applications such as error correction, cryptography, and wireless communication systems.
A gentle and engaging introduction to the fundamental concepts of algebraic geometry. This text uses a blend of concrete examples and theoretical development, making it ideal for students encountering the subject for the first time. Topics include affine and projective varieties, morphisms, and applications to real-world curves and surfaces.
This textbook offers a novel approach to differential geometry via the concept of D-differentiation, aiming to unify and simplify classical differential geometry techniques. It is suitable for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, emphasizing both theoretical foundation and applications.
Femtochemistry explores the ultrafast realm of chemical reactions occurring on femtosecond (10⁻¹⁵ s) timescales. Featuring a compilation of pioneering research—including Ahmed Zewail’s Nobel Lecture—the volume examines how advanced laser spectroscopy enables real-time observation of atomic and molecular dynamics during bond-making and bond-breaking events. With contributions spanni…
