Offering his own interpretation of key texts, Steven Collins explains the idea in a new, accessible way - as a concept, as an image (metaphor), and as an element in the process of narrating both linear and cyclical time. Exploring nirvana from literary and philosophical perspectives, he argues that it has a specific role: to provide 'the sense of an ending' in both the systematic and the narrative thought of the Pali imaginaire. Translations from a number of texts, including some dealing with past and future Buddhas, enable the reader to access source material directly. This book will be essential reading for students of Buddhism, but will also have much to teach anyone concerned with Asia and its religions, or indeed anyone with an interest in the ideas of eternal life or timelessness. 606 $aNirvana 606 $aBuddhism$xDoctrines 615 0$aNirvana. 615 0$aBuddhism$xDoctrines. 676 $a294.3423 700 $aCollins$b Steven$f1951-$0162146 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792410403321 996 $aNirvana$93830326 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05302nam 2200637 450 001 9910824575003321 005 20230803202050.0 010 $a981-4518-45-X 035 $a(CKB)3710000000094859 035 $a(EBL)1681665 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001193531 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12417416 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001193531 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11147576 035 $a(PQKB)11395994 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1681665 035 $a(WSP)00008853 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1681665 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10852267 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL769729 035 $a(OCoLC)879025593 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000094859 100 $a20140401h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aOne hundred physics visualizations using MATLAB /$fDan Green 210 1$aSingapore :$cWorld Scientific Publishing,$d2014. 210 4$dİ2014 215 $a1 online resource (312 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a981-4518-43-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aPreface; Contents; 1.

The aim is to have an interactive MATLAB script wherein the user can vary parameters in a specific problem and then immediately see the outcome by way of dynamic "movies" of the response of the system in question. MATLAB tools are used throughout and the software scripts accompany the text in Symbolic Mathematics, Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Waves and Optics, Gases and Fluid Flow, Quantum Mechanics, Special and General Relativity, and Astrophysics and Cosmology. The emphasis is on building up an intuition by runnin 606 $aPhysics$xData processing 606 $aNumerical analysis$xComputer programs 615 0$aPhysics$xData processing. 615 0$aNumerical analysis$xComputer programs. 676 $a519.4028553042 700 $aGreen$b Dan$065483 712 02$aWorld Scientific (Firm) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824575003321 996 $aOne hundred physics visualizations using MATLAB$93990625 997 $aUNINA
