Description for Introduction to Methods of Approximation in Physics and Astronomy
Hardback. Series: Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 345 pages, 19 black & white illustrations, 71 colour illustrations, 5 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PG; PHU; PHVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This textbook provides students with a solid introduction to the techniques of approximation commonly used in data analysis across physics and astronomy. The choice of methods included is based on their usefulness and educational value, their applicability to a broad range of problems and their utility in highlighting key mathematical concepts. Modern astronomy reveals an evolving universe rife with transient sources, mostly discovered - few predicted - in multi-wavelength observations. Our window of observations now includes electromagnetic radiation, gravitational waves and neutrinos. For the practicing astronomer, these are highly interdisciplinary developments that pose a novel challenge to be ... Read more
