The Science of Disasters: Climate Disruptions, Heart Attacks, and Market Crashes
Original price was: $159.00.$127.20Current price is: $127.20.Add to cartAre there universal laws governing the persistence of weather, and is it possible to predict climate transitions as generated by natural or man-made perturbations? How can one quantify the roller-coaster dynamics of stock markets and anticipate mega-crashes? Can we diagnose the health condition of patients from heartbeat time-series analysis, which may even form the basis for infarct prevention? This book tackles these questions by applying advanced methods from statistical physics and related fields to all types of non-linear dynamics prone to disaster. The transdisciplinary analysis is organized in some dozen review articles written by world-class scientists.

Transport Modeling in Hydrogeochemical Systems
Original price was: $104.00.$83.20Current price is: $83.20.Add to cartIn the world of reality, we are often faced with describing and predicting the results of experiments. A mathematical model is a set of equations that encapsulates reality; it is a caricature of the real physical system that aids in our understanding of real phenomena. A good model extracts the essential features of the problem and lays out, in a simple manner, those processes and interactions that are important. By design, mathematical models should have predictive capability.
