This text is a self-contained, comprehensive treatment of the tensor and spinor calculus of space-time manifolds with as few technicalities as correct treatment allows. Both the physical and geometrical motivation of all concepts are discussed, helping the reader to go through the technical details in a confident manner. Several physical theories are discussed and developed beyond standard treatment using results in the book. Both the traditional "index" and modern "coordinate-free" notations are used side-by-side in the book, making it accessible to beginner graduate students in mathematics...

D-differentiation is a unified operation that enables aspects of differential geometry to be developed and presented from a new perspective. This book is the first comprehensive and self-contained treatment of this new method. It demonstrates, concisely but without sacrificing rigour or intelligibility, how even elementary concepts in differential geometry can be reformulated to obtain new and valuable insights. In addition, D-differentiation has applications in several areas of physics, such as classical mechanics, solid-state physics and general relativity.

Pseudorandom sequences have widespread applications, for instance, in spread spectrum, code division multiple access, optical and ultrawide band communication systems, as well as in ranging systems global positioning systems, circuit testing and stream ciphers. Such sequences also have strong ties to error-correcting codes.
This volume contains survey and research papers on sequences and their applications. It brings together leading experts from discrete mathematics, computer science and communications engineering, and helps to bridge advances in these different areas. Papers in this...
