From Integers to the Big Bang: The Historical Development of Mathematical Physics (1版)

類似書籍推薦給您

【簡介】 This book offers a concise catalogue of the mathematical subjects underpinning modern theoretical physics. It traces the logical progression of ideas from the primitive beginnings of our earliest number systems to the calculation of the transcendental numbers e and π and their uses in complex analysis. What took the human race thousands of years to accomplish is here presented in a coherent, intuitive sequence. Along the way, the book introduces core topics in mathematical physics, including electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, relativity, and nuclear fission and fusion, breakthroughs that have been foundational to the sophisticated scientific landscape in which we find ourselves.Topics that are often taught in isolation, at scattered intervals, are here woven into a unified narrative that prioritises the logical development of ideas, offering an approach grounded in intuitive reasoning. Whether encountering these subjects for the first time or seeking to consolidate earlier learning, readers will benefit from the book’s unique perspective on the underlying structure of mathematics and physics, and how these disciplines have guided humanity from its early agrarian roots to the intricate, technologically advanced world of today.

Statistics for Chemical Engineers: From Data to Models to Decisions (1版)

類似書籍推薦給您

【簡介】 Build a firm foundation for studying statistical modelling, data science, and machine learning with this practical introduction to statistics, written with chemical engineers in mind. It introduces a data-model-decision approach to applying statistical methods to real-world chemical engineering challenges, establishes links between statistics, probability, linear algebra, calculus, and optimization, and covers classical and modern topics such as uncertainty quantification, risk modelling, and decision-making under uncertainty. Over 100 worked examples using Matlab and Python demonstrate how to apply theory to practice, with over 70 end-of-chapter problems to reinforce student learning, and key topics are introduced using a modular structure, which supports learning at a range of paces and levels. Requiring only a basic understanding of calculus and linear algebra, this textbook is the ideal introduction for undergraduate students in chemical engineering, and a valuable preparatory text for advanced courses in data science and machine learning with chemical engineering applications.

From Five Practical Approaches to One Stem-Asterful Paper 五法歸一 (1版)

類似書籍推薦給您

【簡介】 From Five Practical Approaches to One STEM-asterful Paper sets sail with the conviction that to foster impactful science, we must treat scientific thinking as a form of reflection; to cultivate a reflective mind, we must use writing as a medium for thought; to grow thinking-through writing, we must offer concrete resources as a facilitator of learning. Built on the success of a writing course offered by the Academic Writing Education Center, National Taiwan University, this book blends thinking-through writing with actionable guidance to foster confidence and competence in navigating the complexities of STEM research paper writing. The first ever of its kind in Taiwan, From Five Practical Approaches to One STEM-asterful Paper is a proven resource for both STEM students striving to sharpen their writing skills and writing instructors seeking to strengthen their STEM-related instruction. Highlights: • A conventional structuring model — The model provides novice STEM research paper writers with a reliable foundation for understanding disciplinary norms and making meaningful alterations. • A five-approach framework — The framework ensures that the five paper sections are each conceptually grounded as a meaningful unit and together functionally integrated as a conceptual totality. • Authentic material — Carefully chosen excerpts from STEM research papers illustrate how writers perform communicative tasks. • Full-text analyses — End-of-unit paper analyses test the five approaches and promote critical reading and strategic thinking. • Contextualized language instruction — Short language lessons are closely tied to communicative tasks to demonstrate how writers make purposeful linguistic choices. 科學的影響力從來不是理論自帶光芒，而是源自研究者不斷探索、不斷質疑、不斷修正的思維習慣。當研究者願意於書寫中傾聽自己，讓思緒得以流動與回望，科學才得以沉澱出深度，散發出溫度。書寫能梳理繁複，也能映照盲點，但若缺乏紮實的養分，終究難以滋養更長遠的科學求知之道。《五法歸一：理工論文卓越之道》因此而生，期待以豐富的學習資源，讓寫作成為思維生長的沃土。 本書承襲臺灣大學寫作教學中心的成功課程經驗，結合以寫促思的理念與可落實的寫作指引，引領讀者在STEM論文寫作的曲折林道上，紮根自信之土壤，吸納技巧之養分。作為台灣STEM寫作教學的先驅之作，《五法歸一：理工論文卓越之道》是學生精進寫作技巧的絕佳資源，也是寫作教師強化教學的重要參考。 五大亮點  慣用結構 — 奠定論文骨架，鼓勵個人化微調。  五法框架 — 兼容獨立與連貫，成就完整概念體系。  真實素材 — 精選論文語料，示範研究者的溝通實踐。  文本剖析 — 驗證五法框架，強化批判閱讀與策略思考能力。  情境語言 — 結合溝通任務，展現目標導向的語用選擇。
