In theoretical physics, theoretical chemistry and engineering, one often wishes to solve partial differential equations subject to a set of boundary conditions. This book describes an easier method for generating symmetry-adapted basis sets automatically with computer techniques.

Discusses the phenomenon of life, including its origin and evolution, against the background of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and information theory. This title presents the distinction between thermodynamic information and cybernetic information, developments in information technology, and the relationship between entropy and economics.
