Description for Spherical Functions of Mathematical Geosciences
Hardback. In recent years, the Geomathematics Group, TU Kaiserslautern, has worked to set up a theory of spherical functions of mathematical physics. This book is a collection of all the material that group generated during the process. Series: Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics. Num Pages: 617 pages, 16 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBW; PHVG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 44. Weight in Grams: 1195.

Modern high speed c- puters and satellite-based techniques are entering more and more all (geo) disciplines. Second, there is a growing public concern about the future of our planet, its climate, its environment, and about an expected shortage of natural resources. Obviously, both aspects, viz. (i) e?cient strategies of protection against threats of a changing Earth and (ii) the exceptional s- uation of getting terrestrial, airborne as well as spaceborne, data of better and better quality explain the strong need for new mathematical structures, tools, and methods.

Reviews for Spherical Functions of Mathematical Geosciences
From the reviews: "This book concentrates the introduction of mathematical representation of spherical vector and tensor fields. Vector/tensor spherical harmonics are used throughout mathematics. This book is a valuable reference for scientists and practitioners when facing spherical problems." (Chengshu Wang, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1167, 2009)
