Ab initio learning Quantum Many Body Systems
Good introductory read on MBQM
Green's functions vs. Many-body physics
solid text
Still a Standard Text Plus, the Dyson equation! At last, you can find out what made Freeman Dyson famous amongst physicists. You can decide whether this ranks in importance to Feynman's and Schwinger's discoveries. The problem sets are nontrivial. Which will be appreciated by you, AFTER you have attempted them. (Whilst you are in an allnighter, trying to finish a problem set, your opinion may differ!) The book does not cover superstrings, because those came after its publication. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description With adaptive, complex networks, the evolution of the network topology and the dynamical processes on the network are equally important and often fundamentally entangled. Recent research has shown that such networks can exhibit a plethora of new phenomena which are ultimately required to describe many real-world networks. Some of those phenomena include robust self-organization towards dynamical criticality, formation of complex global topologies based on simple, local rules, and the spontaneous division of "labor" in which an initially homogenous population of network nodes self-organizes into functionally distinct classes. These are just a few. This book is a state-of-the-art survey of those unique networks. In it, leading researchers set out to define the future scope and direction of some of the most advanced developments in the vast field of complex network science and its applications. |

OK book
one of the best control Books out there
Terse.
Review of Astrom and Wittenmark What it needs is some details at certain places so that thingswill be easy to comprehend. What I mean is that its not the best book tohave as a first text towards the subject. We used the book as a course textfor advanced controls class. With little control background, I felt it verytough to read the book. But now that I am well versed with the field, Ifind this book handy to keep. ... Read more |
49. Darboux Transformations in Integrable Systems: Theory and their Applications to Geometry (Mathematical Physics Studies) by Chaohao Gu, H. Hu, Zixiang Zhou | |

list price: US$179.00 -- used & new: US$179.00 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 9048167884 Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description The Darboux transformation approach is one of the most effective methods for constructing explicit solutions of partial differential equations which are called integrable systems and play important roles in mechanics, physics and differential geometry. This book presents the Darboux transformations in matrix form and provides purely algebraic algorithms for constructing the explicit solutions. A basis for using symbolic computations to obtain the explicit exact solutions for many integrable systems is established. Moreover, the behavior of simple and multi-solutions, even in multi-dimensional cases, can be elucidated clearly. The method covers a series of important equations such as various kinds of AKNS systems in R1+n, harmonic maps from 2-dimensional manifolds, self-dual Yang-Mills fields and the generalizations to higher dimensional case, theory of line congruences in three dimensions or higher dimensional space etc. All these cases are explained in detail. This book contains many results that were obtained by the authors in the past few years. |

Great!
Great, Useful and Enjoyable Not much background in math/control is required, but some basic knowledge in matrix is helpful. For those who have completely forgotten their freshman-year algebra course, appendices are provided with concise content and useful conclusions. So it does not take long to refresh. ... Read more |

Poorly written
A good book for career theorists and counsellors The first part of the book deals with existing career theories, and provides a well-written and comprehensive review of the major approaches of the past century, from the trait and factor theories of Parsons and Holland to the more recent social-cognitive, contextual and "post-modern" approaches to career development.The features of each theory are described briefly (but without too much oversimplification), and are compared and contrasted with those of other theories. Highlighting the absence of plausible influences on career development in existing theories sets the stage for the second part of the book, which describes how the Systems Theory was developed from the authors' earlier work on adolescent decision-making.The book then goes on to describe the actual framework, which conceives the individual as the central system, encompassing many subordinate systems (including differential factors such as interests, skills, values, age, etc.), and surrounded by systems representing contextual influences (e.g. the family, educational institutions, the employment market, etc.).The inclusion of each career influence and its assignment to a particular system is justified in light of previous theories and the authors' speculation about its probable importance. In the third part of the book, the changing work environment and the implications of systems theory for career counselling and education are discussed.Particularly interesting is its challenge to career counsellors' traditional approach of assessing clients and decreeing what kind of job would be most suitable for them.Instead, Systems Theory emphasises a partnership between the counsellor and client.Counsellors (or career development facilitators as they are termed in the book) are encouraged to help their clients see themselves as active lifelong learners, to become prepared for workplace change, to view their entire life from a systems perspective, and to use this understanding to prompt a creative and dynamic exchange with counsellors to facilitate their career development. One problem I had with the book was that, although it provides a very extensive taxonomy of possible influences on career development, it does not really show how these are connected; it simply conceptualises them as open systems that may, or may not, be permeated and influenced by other systems.I would also question the placement of certain elements in particular systems.For example, gender and values are placed in the individual's system, but it could be argued they should be also represented in the external systems given that both can also be regarded as socially constructed and ascribed. In spite of these criticisms, I still regard Career Development and Systems Theory to be an extremely stimulating, informative, and significant text, in bringing together existing career formulations and discussing how career practice might be improved.It seems to be targeted primarily towards an academic audience (and will no doubt stimulate a great deal of thinking and subsequent research), but would probably also be of interest to career advisors, teaching professionals and students of this field. ...
