A meticulous account by a man who was there This wonderful book lays out the thought process by which Dirac’s formulation of quantum mechanics, with its much-handwaved-about “bra” and “ket” notation, came to be. Dirac makes minimal assumptions about the reader’s prior education (appropriate, since the first edition was published in an age when a [...]
Modern robotics dates from the late 1960s, when progress in the development of microprocessors made possible the computer control of a multiaxial manipulator. Since then, robotics has evolved to connect with many branches of science and engineering, and to encompass such diverse fields as computer vision, artificial intelligence, and speech recognition. This book deals with [...]
However, the landscape of networking has changed so that network services have now become one of the most important factors to the success of many expert designers along with case studies and end-of-chapter exercises However, the landscape of networking has had little or no basis in analysis or architectural development, with designers relying on [...]
This systematic study includes accounts of the first-order (discontinuous) phase transition, as well as a chapter devoted to applications of the random-cluster method to other models of statistical physics. It may be viewed as an extension of percolation to include Ising and Potts models, and its analysis is a mix of arguments from probability and [...]
