Synopsis

Mathematica is a mathematical software system for researchers, students and anyone seeking an effective tool for mathematical analysis. This text aims to help readers learn the software in the context of solving physics problems. The graphical capabilities of Mathematica are emphasized and the readers are encouraged to use their intuition for the physics behind the problem. Each chapter has a short overview of the major physics and mathematics topics that are emphasized in the chapter. Examples in the form of solved problems cover a broad range of topics and mathematics procedures.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Fredrick Olness received his B.S. from Duke University (1980), his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin (1982,1985). Continuing his work-across-America tour, he took postdocs at Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago (1985-88) and the University of Oregon in Eugene (1988-91), before joining Southern Methodist University in 1991 where he is now an Associate Professor of Physics. He is spending the 1997-98 academic year on sabbatical with the Theoretical Physics Group at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

His research is in theoretical elementary particle physics phenomenology, at the interface between theory and experiment. Specifically, he studies Quantum Chromodynamics (the fundamental force that binds nuclei) to help answer the questions: What are the fundamental building blocks of nature, and what holds them together?

Fredrick initiated the DOE theory grant at SMU in 1992, was awarded an SSC Fellowship in 1993, and is an active member CTEQ collaboration―a novel collaboration of theorists and experimentalists.

He has written over 50 research articles, served as a moderator for international workshops and conferences, and has been an invited speaker for international conferences and summer schools.

Présentation de l'éditeur

An appropriate supplement for any undergraduate or graduate course in physics, Mathematica¨ for Physics uses the power of Mathematica¨ to visualize and display physics concepts and generate numerical and graphical solutions to physics problems. Throughout the book, the complexity of both physics and Mathematica¨ is systematically extended to broaden the range of problems that can be solved.
