The Grip of Gravity: The Quest to Understand the Laws of Motion and Gravitation
ISBN: 9780521803168 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Gravity is one of the most inexplicable forces of nature, controlling everything, from the expansion of the Universe to the ebb and flow of ocean tides. The search for the laws of motion and gravitation began more than two thousand years ago, a quest that Prabhakar Gondhalekar recounts in The Grip of Gravity. Beginning with Aristotle and concluding with Planck, Gondhalekar outlines a 'genealogy' of gravity and lucidly explains how previous explanations have shaped the most recent development in the field, string theory. In this work, physicist and astronomer Gondhalekar describes experiments,...

Large-Scale Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics: Volume 1: Analytical Methods and Numerical Models
ISBN: 9780521806817 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The complex flows in the atmosphere and oceans are believed to be accurately modelled by the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid mechanics together with classical thermodynamics. However, due to the enormous complexity of these equations, meteorologists and oceanographers have constructed approximate models of the dominant, large-scale flows that control the evolution of weather systems. The simplifications often result in models that are amenable to solution both analytically and numerically. This volume and its companion explain why such simplifications to Newton's second law produce accurate,...
