Overview: Summarizes the basics of electricity and magnetism prior to covariant formulation of Maxwell‘s equations.Works out the basics of special relativity and applies the covariant formalism.Contains many pr.This book summarizes the basics of electricity and magnetism prior to covariant formulation of Maxwell‘s equations. The book works out the basics of special relativity and then applies the covariant formalism to understand radiation, both in vacuum and in material medium. The emphasis is on cleaner mathematical formalism based on experimental facts. The book contains many problems/exerc

Overview: Since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, academics have been called on for possible contributions to research relating to national (and possibly internat- nal) security. As one of the original founding mandates of the National Science Foundation, mid- to long-term national security research in the areas of inf- mation technologies, organizational studies, and security-related public policy is critically needed. In a way similar to how medical and biological research has faced signi?cant information overload and yet also tremendous opportunities for new inno- tion, law enforceme

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid and Spain.Presents a multi-model analysis based on state-of-the-art general circulation models (GCMs).ProvidesIn this book the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) patterns of decadal-to-multidecadal variability observed and simulated by 17 general circulation models (GCMs) are analyzed.
