Schaum's Outlines: Complex Variables (With an Introduction to Conformal Mapping and Its Applications)
One of the most diverse branch of mathematics, complex variables proves enormously valuable for solving problems of heat flow, potential theory, fluid mechanics, electromagnetic theory, aerodynamics and moany others that arise in science and engineering. As taught in this exceptional study guide, which progresses from the algebra and geometry of complex numbers to conformal mapping and its diverse applications, students learn theories, applications and first-rate problem-solving skills..

The Mobius Strip: Dr. August Mobius's Marvelous Band in Mathematics, Games, Literature, Art, Technology, and Cosmology
The road that leads from the Möbius strip—a common-sense-defying continuous loop with only one side and one edge, made famous by the illustrations of M.C. Escher—goes to some of the strangest spots imaginable It takes us to a place where the purely intellectual enters our daily world: where our outraged senses, overloaded with grocery bills, the price of gas, and what to eat for lunch, are expected to absorb really bizarre ideas. And no better guide to this weird universe exists than the brilliant thinker Clifford A. Pickover, the 21st century's answer to Buckminster Fuller. Come along as Pickover traces the origins of the Möbius strip from the mid-1800s, when the visionary scientist Dr. August Möbius became the first to describe the properties of one-sided surfaces, to the present, where it is an integral part of mathematics, magic, science, art, engineering, literature, and music. It has become a metaphor for change, strangeness, looping, and rejuvenation. Touching on everything from molecules and metal sculptures to postage stamps, architectural structures, and models of our entire universe, The Möbius Strip is lavishly illustrated and gives readers a glimpse into other worlds and new ways of thinking as Pickover reaches across cultures and dimensions. .

Conformal Field Theory (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics)
Filing an important gap in the literature, this comprehensive text develops conformal field theory from first principles The treatment is self-contained, pedagogical, and exhaustive, and includes a great deal of background material on quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, Lie algebras and affine Lie algebras. The many exercises, with a wide spectrum of difficulty and subjects, complement and in many cases extend the text. The text is thus not only an excellent tool for classroom teaching but also for individual study. Intended primarily for graduate students and researchers in theoretical high-energy physics, mathematical physics, condensed matter theory, statistical physics, the book will also be of interest in other areas of theoretical physics and mathematics. It will prepare the reader for original research in this very active field of theoretical and mathematical Physics..

Quantum Non-linear Sigma-Models: From Quantum Field Theory to Supersymmetry, Conformal Field Theory, Black Holes and Strings (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics)
The book is considered a systematic presentation of the modern quantum field theory of non-linear sigma-models. The contents is based on original papers. Geometrical properties and renormalization of a generic non-linear sigma-model are considered in detail, and illustrated by explicit multi-loop calculations in perturbation theory. Some non-perturbative results are derived for the conformally invariant non-linear sigma-model. Supersymmetric extensions are given for most contructions, with emphasis on their relation to complex geometry. Applications of non-linear sigma-models in conformal theory, gauge theory, string theory, and general relativity are given. The book addresses graduate sutdents and researchers in physics and mathematics..

Clinical Target Volumes in Conformal and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
Conformal radiation therapy represents a new challenge for radiation oncologists. It offers the prospect of either increasing the radiation dose to target tissues while delivering a similar dose to organs at risk, or reducing the dose to organs at risk while maintaining the dose to target tissues. First, lymph node areas at risk are established using the available data from pathological examination of surgical specimens and/or pattern of locoregional relapse. Then, based on a three-dimensional description of the anatomical regions where the areas at risk are located, guidelines for the delineation of the clinical target volumes are proposed. The data presented should enable the reader to make appropriate decisions regarding the selection and delineation of the target volumes when confronted with the most frequent tumor types and sites.The book will contribute to paving the way for more effective radiation oncology in the twenty-first century..

Dirichlet's Principle, Conformal Mapping, and Minimal Surfaces
An examination of approaches to easy-to-understand but difficult-to-solve mathematical problems, this classic text begins with a discussion of Dirichlet's principle and the boundary value problem of potential theory, then proceeds to examinations of conformal mapping on parallel-slit domains and Plateau's problem. Also explores minimal surfaces with free boundaries and unstable minimal surfaces. 1950 edition. .
