Originally published in 1902, this book was written with the object of obtaining from Faraday's laws a consistent scheme for the representation of electrical phenomena, and of applying the results to obtain the quantitative relations existing in certain cases of the propagation of electrical effects. An appendices section is included. This book...

Many processes in materials science and engineering, such as the load deformation behaviour of certain structures, exhibit nonlinear characteristics. The computer simulation of such processes therefore requires a deep understanding of both the theoretical aspects of nonlinearity and the associated computational techniques. This book provides a...

The theory of R-trees is a well-established and important area of geometric group theory and in this book the authors introduce a construction that provides a new perspective on group actions on R-trees. They construct a group RF(G), equipped with an action on an R-tree, whose elements are certain functions from a compact real interval to the group...
