In this \nengaging book, the concept of the soliton is traced from the beginning \nof the last century to modern times, with recent applications in \nbiology, oceanography, solid state physics, electronics, elementary \nparticle physics, and cosmology. \nThe main concepts and results of theoretical physics related to \nsolitons can be explained without using much mathematics.  Indeed, on \nthe descriptive and historical level, only some knowledge of high \nschool physics and mathematics is needed.  At a higher level, for \nunderstanding the elementary theory of oscillations and waves, the \nreader can intuit much from the numerous illustrations and perhaps \nskip the formulas presented.  But to appreciate the deep connections \nin this book between apparently different and diverse phenomena and \nideas, the reader must be able to follow elementary mathematical \ncomputations.  Still more advanced mathematics is required for the \nappendices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Birkhäuser\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-05-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780817649739\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-8176-4974-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 261\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Birkhäuser Boston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44316774596748,"sku":"9780817649739","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780817649739.jpg?v=1775754263","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780817649739","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
