Scaling (Cambridge Texts in Applied Mathematics, Series Number 34)
Product Description
Scaling (Cambridge Texts in Applied Mathematics, Series Number 34)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Starting from dimensional analysis and physical similarity, G. Barenblatt describes the art of discovering scaling laws. He demonstrates the concepts of intermediate asymptotics and the renormalization group as natural consequences of self-similarity and shows how and when these tools can tackle the task at hand, and when they cannot. Based on courses taught to undergraduate and graduate students, the book can also be used independently by biologists, chemists, astronomers, engineers and geoscientists.
