The purpose of this sophomore-level textbook is twofold: to introduce the student to classical electrodynamics and, at the same time, explain in simple terms the quantum theory of conducting substances (in particular, the solid ones). The…
This book is a textbook for the course of foundations of geometry. It is addressed to mathematics students in Universities and to High School students for deeper learning the elementary geometry. It can also be used in mathematics coteries…
This is the first of a series of papers that we intend to publish about the epistemology of fundamental physics in its current state. One of the main objectives of these papers is to improve our understanding of fundamental physics (and…
This review presents a survey of, and guide to, New Materials Physics research. It begins with an overview of the goals of New Materials Physics and then presents important ideas and techniques for the design and growth of new materials. An…
The second part of the monograph contains the investigation of the structure of the Sun and planets of the solar system. This monograph is addressed to specialists in the field of theoretical and practical hydrodynamics and adjacent…
Since the subject of noncommutative geometry is now entering maturity, we felt there is need for presentation of the material at an undergraduate course level. Our review is a zero order approximation to this project. Thus, the present…
This paper focuses on state-of-the art of various approaches for the modelling of deformation behavior of soils when subjected to cyclic loading. The various approaches are broadly classified into implicit and explicit. Models within each…
This is a draft of a textbook on differential forms. The primary target audience is sophmore level undergraduates enrolled in what would traditionally be a course in vector calculus. Later chapters will be of interest to advaced…
Course material for mathematical methods of theoretical physics intended for an undergraduate audience.
This monograph, written for educational purposes, serves as an introduction to the concept of integrability as it applies to systems of differential equations (both ordinary and partial) as well as to vector-valued fields. The general cases…
The second part of the monograph considers the application of the theory of ideal fluid to real fluids and gases. It contains eight examples of the practical application of the theory of inertial mass, a design diagram of a device for…
The present text provides a short, non-technical account of some historical and educational background and, based on this, of the rationale of the use of mobile devices in physics education.
In this paper, thermodynamics of a moving medium is considered. Main goal of this paper is to describe thermodynamics state equations and equations of co-existence manifolds of media on two- and three-dimensional manifolds. To this end the…
This monograph (written in 1974) is the last part of the author's study in the field of theoretical and practical mechanics of the inertless mass (or mechanics of continuous medium). The investigation enriches the theory and provides…
This book is a textbook for the basic course of differential geometry. It is recommended as an introductory material for this subject.
What should these lectures be? The subject assigned to us is so broad that many books can be written about it. So, in planning these lectures I had several options. One would be to focus on a narrow subset of topics and to cover them in…
This paper gives a concise but rigorous mathematical description of a material control volume that is separated into two parts by a singular surface at which physical states are discontinuous. The geometrical background material is…
This is an intorduction to some of the basic methods and results of dense matter physics.It is aimed at readers interested in astrophysical and physical applications.
This is a series of short teaching papers dealing with specific topics in a standard first-year undergraduate Physics course. ----- Este texto comp\~oe-se de quatro pequenas notas -- independentes entre si -- em que se discutem alguns…
We present the state-of-the-art theoretical modeling, molecular simulation, and coarse-graining strategies for the transport of gases and liquids in nanoporous materials (pore size 1-100 nm). Special emphasis is placed on the transport of…
