Some ten years ago, when completing with J.-B. Zuber a previous text on Quantum Field Theory, the senior author was painfully aware that little mention was made that methods in statistical physics and
這一奧古斯丁（Augustine）文集的選譯本選取了他的兩部著作《論基督教教義》（On Christian Doctrine）和《論靈魂及其起源》（On the Soul and Its Origin）。《論基督教教義》是奧古斯丁的釋經著作，是他著作中十分重要的文獻；《論靈魂及其起源》所涉及的“靈魂論”，是早期基督教思想家普遍關注的一個主題。譯出這篇著作，對于我們理解基督教的靈

Capturing a wealth of experience about the design of object-oriented software, four top-notch designers present a catalog of simple and succinct solutions to commonly occurring design problems. Previo
This book is a record of a course on functions of a real variable, addressed to first-year graduate students in mathematics, offered in the academic year 1985-86 at the University of Texas at Austin.
This book is intended to provide a reasonable selr-contained account of a major portion of the general theory of rings and modules suitable as a text for introductory and more advanced graduate course
Modern theoretical physics has made enormous progress, which may well be compared to the dramatic developments that occurred during the first few decades of this century.The search for a common origin
Since the publication of my lecture notes, Functional Differential Equations in the Applied Mathematical Sciences series, many new developments have occurred. As a consequence, it was decided not to m
This book introduces the quantum mechanics of classically chaotic systems, or Quantum Chaos for short. The basic concepts of quantum chaos can be grasped easily by any student of physics, but the unde

This book is the first of a multivolume series devoted to an exposition of functional analysis methods in modem mathematical physics. It describes the fundamental principles of functional analysis and
This volume continues our series of texts devoted to functional analysis methods in mathematical physics. In Volume I we announced a table of contents for Volume II. However, in the preparation of the
