Book Description
Siguiendo el enfoque clásico de Lev Landau y Evgenii Lifshitz, este libro introduce la teoría de la relatividad especial y general desde el formalismo lagrangiano y el principio de mínima acción. Este método, bastante utilizado en la física teórica moderna, permite construir completamente la teoría a partir de un pequeño número de supuestos. El libro comienza revisando la mecánica newtoniana, para luego pasar a la relatividad especial y general. La mayoría de los cálculos se presentan con bastante detalle y paso a paso, como se haría en una pizarra durante una clase magistral. Además, cada capítulo contiene varios ejemplos y problemas. El libro finaliza discutiendo algunos de los avances recientes en la astronomía de ondas gravitacional es y las líneas actuales de investigación en gravedad.

Selecciones de Matematicas Aplicadas
Author: Max H. Lombardi
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662438265
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Selecciones de matemáticas aplicadas es un puente entre las matemáticas básicas y las matemáticas superiores. El libro comienza con una revisión de las matemáticas básicas: la numerología, la aritmética, el álgebra, la geometría euclidiana, la trigonometría, y los logaritmos. En las lecciones intermedias, se estudian las funciones lineales, cuadradas, cubicas, exponenciales e hiperbólicas. En las lecciones finales, se examinan el cálculo diferencial e integral, la teoría de las probabilidades, la teoría cuántica, las teorías de la relatividad, y las teorías de caos y la complejidad. Entre las aplicaciones más destacadas, citamos algunos ejemplos: El crecimiento exponencial de las bacterias en los medios de cultivo, el crecimiento de los capitales en el interés compuesto, el crecimiento exponencial de los números de transistores en los últimos 30 años de la tecnología moderna, la reducción exponencial de los virus del SIDA en los pacientes tratados con cocteles de drogas antivirales, y las probabilidades en los juegos del “craps”, y del póker.

What Is Relativity?
Author: Jeffrey Bennett
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231537034
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
A renowned astrophysicist’s approachable introduction to Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and its application in our daily lives. It is commonly assumed that if the Sun suddenly turned into a black hole, it would suck Earth and the rest of the planets into oblivion. Yet, as prominent author and astrophysicist Jeffrey Bennett points out, black holes don't suck. With that simple idea in mind, Bennett begins an entertaining introduction to Einstein's theories of relativity, describing the amazing phenomena readers would actually experience if they took a trip to a black hole. The theory of relativity reveals the speed of light as the cosmic speed limit, the mind-bending ideas of time dilation and curvature of spacetime, and what may be the most famous equation in history: E = mc2. Indeed, the theory of relativity shapes much of our modern understanding of the universe. It is not “just a theory”―every major prediction of relativity has been tested to exquisite precision, and its practical applications include the Global Positioning System (GPS). Amply illustrated and written in clear, accessible prose, Bennett's book proves anyone can grasp the basics of Einstein's ideas. His intuitive, nonmathematical approach gives a wide audience its first real taste of how relativity works and why it is so important to science and the way we view ourselves as human beings. “Well-written and uniquely readable . . . Bennett carefully avoids bombastic statements and “spectacularization” of the subject.” —Alberto Nicolis, Columbia University “I have read lots of introductions to relativity, but none is as clear and compelling as this one.” —Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer, SETI Institute

Introduction to 3+1 Numerical Relativity
Author: Miguel Alcubierre
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191548294
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
This book introduces the modern field of 3+1 numerical relativity. The book has been written in a way as to be as self-contained as possible, and only assumes a basic knowledge of special relativity. Starting from a brief introduction to general relativity, it discusses the different concepts and tools necessary for the fully consistent numerical simulation of relativistic astrophysical systems, with strong and dynamical gravitational fields. Among the topics discussed in detail are the following: the initial data problem, hyperbolic reductions of the field equations, gauge conditions, the evolution of black hole space-times, relativistic hydrodynamics, gravitational wave extraction and numerical methods. There is also a final chapter with examples of some simple numerical space-times. The book is aimed at both graduate students and researchers in physics and astrophysics, and at those interested in relativistic astrophysics.

A First Course in Loop Quantum Gravity
Author: Rodolfo Gambini
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191003239
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
This book provides an accessible introduction to loop quantum gravity and some of its applications, at a level suitable for undergraduate students and others with only a minimal knowledge of college level physics. In particular it is not assumed that the reader is familiar with general relativity and only minimally familiar with quantum mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics. Most chapters end with problems that elaborate on the text, and aid learning. Applications such as loop quantum cosmology, black hole entropy and spin foams are briefly covered. The text is ideally suited for an undergraduate course in the senior year of a physics major. It can also be used to introduce undergraduates to general relativity and quantum field theory as part of a 'special topics' type of course.
