He is the author of some 50 articles and one book! and has developed two graduate courses! teaching classes on field dynamics to students in engineering and the applied sciences. Professor Silverberg's primary research interests currently lie in field dynamics and the control of dynamical systems. Klappentext The term field dynamics refers to the branch of physics that deals with objects and phenomena large enough to be measured and observed and is developed from four-dimensional geometry. Research that was once a major interest within theoretical physics has since passed to differential geometry, where it now has a strong mathematical foundation in hyper-dimensional field theories.In this unique monograph the experienced author, Professor Silverberg, illustrates that modern field theory is an equally valuable tool for engineers and applied scientists when the unsolved problems become increasingly cross disciplinary. From the contents:* 4D Space * Relativity * Energy * Change * Governing Equations * Waves * Particles * Electrodynamics * Mechanics * Essay: An Evolving Science Features 40 end-of-chapter problems -- with solutions free to lecturers.
