Between Two Cultures -- Epilogue -- IndexA Fields medalist recounts his lifelong transnational effort to uncover the geometric shape-the Calabi-Yau manifold-that may store the hidden dimensions of our universe.   Harvard geometer and Fields medalist Shing-Tung Yau has provided a mathematical foundation for string theory, offered new insights into black holes, and mathematically demonstrated the stability of our universe. In this autobiography, Yau reflects on his improbable journey to becoming one of the world's most distinguished mathematicians. Beginning with an impoverished childhood in China and Hong Kong, Yau takes readers through his doctoral studies at Berkeley during the height of the Vietnam War protests, his Fields Medal-winning proof of the Calabi conjecture, his return to China, and his pioneering work in geometric analysis. This new branch of geometry, which Yau built up with his friends and colleagues, has paved the way for solutions to several important and previously intransigent problems. With complicated ideas explained for a broad audience, this book offers readers not only insights into the life of an eminent mathematician, but also an accessible way to understand advanced and highly abstract concepts in mathematics and theoretical physics.MathematiciansBiographyGeometry, DifferentialGeometric analysisMathematiciansGeometry, Differential.Geometric analysis.510.922Yau Shing-Tung1949-1652879Nadis Steven J.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823303103321The shape of a life4043956UNINA04184nam 22008295 450 991014579610332120251116233900.01-280-30736-6978661030736410.1007/b96841(CKB)1000000000016827(SSID)ssj0000292315(PQKBManifestationID)11213232(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000292315(PQKBWorkID)10255433(PQKB)10991116(DE-He213)978-3-540-25926-8(MiAaPQ)EBC3088444(PPN)155172166(BIP)46177182(EXLCZ)99100000000001682720121227d2004 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtccrComputational Cardiology Modeling of Anatomy, Electrophysiology, and Mechanics /by Frank B.

Modeling of Cardiac Electro-Mechanics -- References.This book is devoted to computer-based modeling in cardiology, by taking an educational point of view, and by summarizing knowledge from several, commonly considered delimited areas of cardiac research in a consistent way.First, the foundations and numerical techniques from mathematics are provided, with a particular focus on the finite element and finite differences methods. Then, the theory of electric fields and continuum mechanics is introduced with respect to numerical calculations in anisotropic biological media. In addition to the presentation of digital image processing techniques, the following chapters deal with particular aspects of cardiac modeling: cardiac anatomy, cardiac electro physiology, cardiac mechanics, modeling of cardiac electro mechanics.This book was written for researchers in modeling and cardiology, for clinical cardiologists, and for advanced students.Lecture Notes in Computer Science,0302-9743 ;2966Human anatomyComputer simulationCardiologyRadiologyMedical informaticsOptical data processingAnatomyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H12005Simulation and Modelinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I19000Cardiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33037Imaging / Radiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H29005Health Informaticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H28009Image Processing and Computer Visionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I22021Human anatomy.Computer simulation.Cardiology.Radiology.Medical informatics.Optical data processing.Anatomy.Simulation and Modeling.Cardiology.Imaging / Radiology.Health Informatics.Image Processing and Computer Vision.611/.12Sachse Frank Bauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut597782MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910145796103321Computational Cardiology1026851UNINA
