Bücher der Reihe Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics

This monograph describes and discusses the properties of heterogeneous materials, comparing two fundamental approaches to describing and predicting materials' properties. This multidisciplinary book will appeal to applied physicists, materials scientists, chemical and mechanical engineers, chemists, and applied mathematicians.

This is the first of a planned two-volume work discussing the mathematical aspects of population genetics with an emphasis on evolutionary theory.

Now in a fresh edition that includes recent results on the synthesis of multiloop planar and spherical linkages and the use of homotopy methods and Clifford algebras in synthesizing spatial serial chains, this volume is a foundation for linkage design theory.

This book covers a new explanation of the origin of Hamiltonian chaos and its quantitative characterization. The subject of the book, which contains numerous illustrations throughout, is very original and nothing similar has been written hitherto.
