Collider: The Search for the World’s Smallest Particles

Posted by on Wednesday, 23 February, 2011

Paul Halpern is a gifted writer who brings science and scientists alive. This is a wonderful introduction to the world of high-energy physics, where gigantic machines and tiny particles meet.—Kenneth Ford, retired director of the American Institute of Physics and author of The Quantum World: Quantum Physics for EveryoneProfessor Paul Halpern takes the reader on a stimulating odyssey on topics ranging from particle physics and dark matter to unexplored dimensions of space. The masterful Halpern likens the physicist’s quest to the excavation of archaeologists who seek to uncover ‘new treasures’ as they unearth wondrous gems that lay hidden all around us. Buy this book and feed your mind!—Dr. Cliff Pickover, author of Archimedes to Hawking and The Math BookWith clarity and a Sagan-esque gift for explanation, Paul Halpern traces the story of how physicists use immensely powerful machines to probe the deepest mysteries of existence. Halpern also conclusively debunks the ludicrous claims that the Large Hadron Collider and other high-energy physics experiments threaten to destroy anything—except our residual ignorance about the nature and workings of our wondrous universe.—Mark Wolverton, author of The Science of Superman and A Life in Twilight: The Final Years of J. Robert OppenheimerA gem. The prose sparkles, the descriptions are exquisitely understandable, and the narrative is just plain fun. This book will charm experts, students, and anyone interested in scientific exploration.—Catherine Westfall, Visiting Associate Professor of the History of Science at Lyman Briggs College, Michigan State University, and coauthor of Fermilab: Physics, the Frontier, and MegasciencePaul Halpern has written a masterful account of particle accelerators and the theories they are constructed to investigate in a very accessible and engaging style.

Introduction to Technical Mathematics

Al decided to write a book that specifically aligned itself with the technical programs these students were taking. He wanted his text to be flexible, allowing instructors to teach in ways that would most benefit their students. Through his vision and determination, Allyn Washington created theiTechnical Mathematics/iseries./pp style=margin: 0px; /phr style=width: 100%; height: 2px;p style=margin: 0px; /pp style=margin: 0px;bMario F.

Algorithms

Posted by on Thursday, 17 February, 2011

An alternative to the comprehensive algorithm texts in the market. One of the strengths of DasGupta is the math follows the algorithms. In addition to the text, DasGupta also offers a Solutions Manual, which is available on the Online Learning Center. This text, extensively class-tested over a decade at UC Berkeley and UC San Diego, explains the fundamentals of algorithms in a story line that makes the material enjoyable and easy to digest. Emphasis is placed on understanding the crisp mathematical idea behind each algorithm, in a manner that is intuitive and rigorous without being unduly formal. Features include: The use of boxes to strengthen the narrative: pieces that provide historical context, descriptions of how the algorithms are used in practice, and excursions for the mathematically sophisticated. Carefully chosen advanced topics that can be skipped in a standard one-semester course, but can be covered in an advanced algorithms course or in a more leisurely two-semester sequence. An accessible treatment of linear programming introduces students to one of the greatest achievements in algorithms. An optional chapter on the quantum algorithm for factoring provides a unique peephole into this exciting topic. Algorithms is an outstanding undergraduate text, equally informed by the historical roots and contemporary applications of its subject. Like a captivating novel, it is a joy to read.
