  • The Mid-Oceanic Ridges
    Adolphe Nicolas / T. Reimer
    Over the past 20 years, geologists have come to realize that the real object of their studies is the Earth, and that their favorite subjects, whether basalts, earthquakes, or the Tibetan plateau (for example) are only the means to understanding the Earth itself as a complete entity. Geology has thus acquired aglobai perspective. The study of any particular regional problem is o...

  • Galaxy Formation
    Malcolm S. Longair
    For Deborah, Mark and Sarah ’Not another book on cosmology!’, I hear the reader exclaim. ’Surely there are quite enough books on cosmology to satisfy everyone’s needs?’ I was asked by Springer-Verlag to expand into a full-length book the set of lecture notes that I prepared in 1988 for the First Astrophysics School organised by the European Astrophysics Doctoral Network. The se...

  • Astronomy on the Personal Computer
    Oliver Montenbruck / Thomas Pfleger / S. Dunlop
    It is said that a typical astronomer of the 19th century spent seven hours working at a desk for every hour spent at the telescope. That’s how long the routine analysis of data took with pencil, paper, and logarithmic tables. Thus when Wilhelm Olbers discovered the minor planet Vesta in 1807 and gathered the necessary observations, his friend Gauss needed almost 10 hours to han...

  • Foundations of Nanomechanics
    Andrew N. Cleland
    Why write another book on mechanics? There are, after all, a number of excellent texts that describe in great detail the way classical solids behave when acted upon by static and time-varying forces; many of these are cited in this monograph. These texts treat solids as continuous objects, and quantum mechanics does not enter the discussion. Furthermore, the atomic nature of th...

    At the end of 1960s and the beginning of 1970s, when the Russian version of this book was written, the ’general theory of random processes’ did not operate widely with such notions as semimartingale, stochastic integral with respect to semimartingale, the ItO formula for semimartingales, etc. At that time in stochastic calculus (theory of martingales), the main object was the s...
