Convexity Methods in Hamiltonian Mechanics

Product Description: In the case of completely integrable systems, periodic solutions are found by inspection. For nonintegrable systems, such as the three-body problem in celestial mechanics, they are found by perturbation theory: there is a small parameter â¬ in the problem, the mass of the perturbing body for instance, and for â¬ = 0 the system becomes completely integrable...read more

The Best of All Possible Worlds: Mathematics and Destiny

Product Description: Optimists believe this is the best of all possible worlds. And pessimists fear that might really be the case. But what is the best of all possible worlds? How do we define it? This question has preoccupied philosophers and theologians for ages, but there was a time, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when scientists and mathematicians felt they could provide the answer...read more
