Lattice of Lies


Book Description

Expanding on the works of Jacques Ellul, Noam Chomsky, Upton Sinclair, and many others, Lattice of Lies investigates a power structure that controls through a divided media system of propaganda. Due to an onslaught of disinformation, there is an urgent need for media literacy. By taking a closer look at the media model and history of propaganda, the reader will have a deeper understanding of the forces that desire to divide and indoctrinate the American people. By exploring narrative construction, the reader can better decode the deceptions and counter the political playbook. While Machiavelli aided the prince in his quest for power, Lattice of Lies serves the people in their defense against tyranny. Other highlights: -The suppression of information has allowed an imperialistic and rogue military to operate unchecked. -Divide and Rule: How political leaders strategize to divide the populace, so that the people cannot challenge the power structure. -Behind the illusion of pluralistic power lies a plutocracy that relies on propaganda to deter populist takeover. -The divided media model ensures that different facts and narratives produce two warring factions. -How the power structure co-opted the rise of populism by providing fake populists to take their place. -Examining the powerless masses and their inability to cope with pollution, inflation, endless war, and inequality. -Providing a vision for how the people can cross the bridge toward a sustainable and humane future.

General Lattice Theory


Book Description

"Grätzer’s 'General Lattice Theory' has become the lattice theorist’s bible. Now we have the second edition, in which the old testament is augmented by a new testament. The new testament gospel is provided by leading and acknowledged experts in their fields. This is an excellent and engaging second edition that will long remain a standard reference." --MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS




Survey of Semiconductor Physics


Book Description

Taking up where the first volume left off, this work provides coverage of the inhomogeneous semiconductor. It deals mainly with Si and GaAs, but also investigates other materials of theoretical and practical interest, such as Ge, other III-V and II-VI compounds, and amorphous SiH. Equipped with this source, physicists, semiconductor engineers, device engineers and fabrication engineers will have access to a vast reservoir of practical information on the design, production and operations of semiconductor devices.

The Mathematics of Paul Erdős I


Book Description

This is the most comprehensive survey of the mathematical life of the legendary Paul Erdős (1913-1996), one of the most versatile and prolific mathematicians of our time. For the first time, all the main areas of Erdős' research are covered in a single project. Because of overwhelming response from the mathematical community, the project now occupies over 1000 pages, arranged into two volumes. These volumes contain both high level research articles as well as key articles that survey some of the cornerstones of Erdős' work, each written by a leading world specialist in the field. A special chapter "Early Days", rare photographs, and art related to Erdős complement this striking collection. A unique contribution is the bibliography on Erdős' publications: the most comprehensive ever published. This new edition, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Paul Erdős' birth, contains updates on many of the articles from the two volumes of the first edition, several new articles from prominent mathematicians, a new introduction, more biographical information about Paul Erdős, and an updated list of publications. The first volume contains the unique chapter "Early Days", which features personal memories of Paul Erdős by a number of his colleagues. The other three chapters cover number theory, random methods, and geometry. All of these chapters are essentially updated, most notably the geometry chapter that covers the recent solution of the problem on the number of distinct distances in finite planar sets, which was the most popular of Erdős' favorite geometry problems.




Huygens and Barrow, Newton and Hooke


Book Description

Translated from the Russian by E.J.F. Primrose "Remarkable little book." -SIAM REVIEW V.I. Arnold, who is renowned for his lively style, retraces the beginnings of mathematical analysis and theoretical physics in the works (and the intrigues!) of the great scientists of the 17th century. Some of Huygens' and Newton's ideas. several centuries ahead of their time, were developed only recently. The author follows the link between their inception and the breakthroughs in contemporary mathematics and physics. The book provides present-day generalizations of Newton's theorems on the elliptical shape of orbits and on the transcendence of abelian integrals; it offers a brief review of the theory of regular and chaotic movement in celestial mechanics, including the problem of ports in the distribution of smaller planets and a discussion of the structure of planetary rings.




The Geometry of Numbers


Book Description

A self-contained introduction to the geometry of numbers.




Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics


Book Description

This book constructs the mathematical apparatus of classical mechanics from the beginning, examining basic problems in dynamics like the theory of oscillations and the Hamiltonian formalism. The author emphasizes geometrical considerations and includes phase spaces and flows, vector fields, and Lie groups. Discussion includes qualitative methods of the theory of dynamical systems and of asymptotic methods like averaging and adiabatic invariance.
