Soft cover. Condition: Good. Revised Edition. Minor edge and corner wear; lightly scuffed and scratched; spine is gently creased; some light shelf wear; ex-library with the usual library markings; overall a nice used copy! Blue wrapper with blue and white lettering. 223 historical and informative pages! "In this unique book, the reader is invited to experience the joy of appreciating something which has eluded understanding for many years - entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The book has a two-pronged message: first, that the second law is not infinitely incomprehensible as commonly stated in most textbooks on thermodynamics, but can, in fact, be comprehended through sheer common sense; and second, that entropy is not a mysterious quantity that has resisted understanding but a simple, familiar and easily comprehensible concept. Written in an accessible style, the book guides the reader through an abundance of dice games and examples from everyday life. The author paves the way for readers to discover for themselves what entropy is, how it changes, and, most importantly, why it always changes in one direction in a spontaneous process. In this new edition, seven simulated games are included so that the reader can actually experiment with the games described in the book. These simulated games are meant to enhance the readers' understanding and sense of joy upon discovering the Second Law of Thermodynamics.".…

Bright, clean, square and tight. Sharp corners. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are bright white, crisp and unmarked -- obviously never read. 2009. First U.S. Edition. Bound in the original blue pictorial boards, lettered in blue and white, with an image of Albert Einstein on the front cover. From the rear cover: "Quantum theory is one of the more abstract branches of theoretical physics, yet it makes clear and concrete predictions which are repeatedly verified experimentally. More recently, there has been some confluence between the concepts of microphysics and those of macrophysics. Currently fashionable ideas in cosmology are also deeply linked to concepts from quantum theory, thus attracting greater interest in this subject. This timely book takes stock of what quantum theory has achieved and where it is leading to at present, in a manner understandable to an educated layman. The book describes concepts in a strictly scientific manner without trying to make them sound overly philosophical or 'hyping' them up. At the same time, careful explanation of the concepts and details (including the technical terminology) are given in a nonmathematical language for the general reader. In particular, emphasis is given to the specific aspects of quantum theory that interface with gravity and cosmology, so as to keep the book reasonably up to date and focused on a key underlying theme.".

Bound in the original mostly orange wraps. From the publisher: "This book is suitable as a textbook for an introductory undergraduate mathematics course on discrete Fourier and wavelet transforms for students with background in calculus and linear algebra. The particular strength of this book is its accessibility to students with no background in analysis. The exercises and computer explorations provide the reader with many opportunities for active learning. Studying from this text will also help students strengthen their background in linear algebra." -- Mathematical Association of America. "This textbook for undergraduate mathematics, science, and engineering students introduces the theory and applications of discrete Fourier and wavelet transforms using elementary linear algebra, without assuming prior knowledge of signal processing or advanced analysis. It explains how to use the Fourier matrix to extract frequency information from a digital signal and how to use circulant matrices to emphasize selected frequency ranges. It introduces discrete wavelet transforms for digital signals through the lifting method and illustrates through examples and computer explorations how these transforms are used in signal and image processing. Then the general theory of discrete wavelet transforms is developed via the matrix algebra of two-channel filter banks. Finally, wavelet transforms for analog signals are constructed based on filter bank results already presented, and the mathematical framework of multiresolution analysis is examined.". 1st ed?

The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright. "In this introductory volume we try to develop as thoroughly as possible a few, but not all, of the new concepts introduced in quantum mechanics. Essentially, we concern ourselves with the many aspects of the Schrodinger equation (without spin) and its applications. In presenting our material we shall make rather extensive use of the concept of the wave packet. The wave packet is by no means of basic importance, but it serves as a useful scaffolding by means of which quantum mechanics may be built.".…
