The selected papers of William Phelps Allis are gathered here in celebration of his elevation from Professor to Professor Emeritus of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This gathering was arranged as a surprise tribute to Professor Allis and was prepared under conditions of conspiring silence. The presentation was held at M.I.T. on May 10, 1967.The papers selected here are a worthy extension of the man himself, in their directness and essential simplicity. And in their abiding value. In the words of his editor, student, and colleague Sanborn C. Brown, "he has succeeded in leading a whole generation of Physicists with such a timeless approach that this volume should be considered not as a look backward but as a compilation of fundamental insights upon which to build future progress."

The result of a six-year effort to base the second year of a two-year physics course on atomic physics; covers electricity and magnetism, optics, wave mechanics, and atomic physics.

The assembly of an archive of longitudinal data on the world's nation-states was undertaken by the Center for Comparative Political Research in 1968, with computer-facilitated procedures for the storage, reassembly, and retrieval of its content. The present volume is a cathode-ray-tube printout of a substantial portion of the CCPR file.

This book develops a consistent macroscopic theory of electromagnetism and discusses the relation between circuit theory and filed theory.

Solutions manual for an innovative textbook accessible not only to graduate students in mathematical finance and financial engineering but also to undergraduate students and graduate students not specializing in finance.
