From Newton to Mandelbrot : A Primer in Theoretical Physics with Fractals for the Personal Computer Paperback / softback
by Dietrich Stauffer, H.Eugene Stanley
Paperback / softback
Description
From Newton to Mandelbrot takes the student on a tour of the most important landmarks of theoretical physics: classical, quantum, and statistical mechanics, relativity, electrodynamics, and, the most modern and exciting of all, the physics of fractals.
The treatment is confined to the essentials of each area, and short computer programs, numerous problems, and beautiful color illustrations round off this unusual textbook.
Ideally suited for a one-year course in theoretical physics it will also prove useful in preparing and revising for exams.
This edition is corrected and includes a new appendix on elementary particle physics, answers to all short questions, and a diskette where a selection of executable programs exploring the fractal concept can be found.
