The Field Viewpoint in Classical Physicsthe smallest portions of a material to exhibit certain of its distinguishing properties, and much of the behavior of individual molecules is predicted satisfactorily by known physical laws. Molecules in their turn are regarded as composed of atoms; these, of nuclei and electrons; and nuclei themselv

Statistical Mechanics and Continuum Mechanics (1973, 1979) quantitative, mathematical science of the West developed, the debate continued but became more and more definite and detailed. The great theorists proposed specific mathematical theories, restricted to certain specific kinds and circumstances of bodies, for example, to “aeriform fluids” subject to

Our Debt to the French Tradition: “Catastrophes” and Our Search for Structure Today (1978, 1981)s a civilized, regular denizen of that best of all possible worlds, mathematics, demesne of reason and order? Of course, without some assumed or required smoothness of motion, catastrophes become so common as to be altogether stochastic—dull, random events that make up no more than a statistic—but w
