At its heart is the greatest of American paradoxes: How have tiny minorities of the rich and privileged consistently exercised so much power in a nation built on the notion of rule by the people? In a series of thought-provoking essays, leading scholars of American history examine every epoch in which ruling economic elites have shaped our national experience. 517 3 $aHistory of wealth and power in a democracy 606 $aElite (Social sciences)$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSocial classes$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aDemocracy$zUnited States 615 0$aElite (Social sciences)$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial classes$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences)$xHistory. 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a305.5/2/0973 701 $aFraser$b Steve$f1945-$0525193 701 $aGerstle$b Gary$f1954-$0729568 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962449703321 996 $aRuling America$94358005 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04041oam 2200661I 450 001 9911006745003321 005 20220420164643.0 010 $a9781523124589 010 $a152312458X 010 $a9781400882823 010 $a1400882826 024 7 $a10.1515/9781400882823 035 $a(CKB)3710000000632974 035 $a(EBL)4454961 035 $a(OCoLC)946038714 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001646514 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16418425 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001646514 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14843456 035 $a(PQKB)10023567 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4454961 035 $a(DE-B1597)474675 035 $a(OCoLC)984657336 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781400882823 035 $a(PPN)203522710 035 $a(FR-PaCSA)88867066 035 $a(Perlego)739570 035 $a(FRCYB88867066)88867066 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000632974 100 $a20190523h20162016 fg 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||uuuuu 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr rdacarrier 200 10$aMathematical Methods for Geophysics and Space Physics /$fWilliam I.

In addition, they need to survey a wider array of mathematical methods that, while outside their particular areas of expertise, are important in related ones. While it is unrealistic to expect them to develop an encyclopedic knowledge of all the methods that are out there, they need to know how and where to obtain reliable and effective insights into these broader areas. Here at last is a graduate textbook that provides these students with the mathematical skills they need to succeed in today's highly interdisciplinary research environment. This authoritative and accessible book covers everything from the elements of vector and tensor analysis to ordinary differential equations, special functions, and chaos and fractals. Other topics include integral transforms, complex analysis, and inverse theory; partial differential equations of mathematical geophysics; probability, statistics, and computational methods; and much more. Proven in the classroom, Mathematical Methods for Geophysics and Space Physics features numerous exercises throughout as well as suggestions for further reading. Provides an authoritative and accessible introduction to the subject Covers vector and tensor analysis, ordinary differential equations, integrals and approximations, Fourier transforms, diffusion and dispersion, sound waves and perturbation theory, randomness in data, and a host of other topics Features numerous exercises throughout Ideal for students and researchers alike an online illustration package is available to professors 606 $aGeophysics$xMathematics 606 $aCosmic physics$xMathematics 615 0$aGeophysics$xMathematics. 615 0$aCosmic physics$xMathematics. 676 $a520.151 700 $aNewman$b William I.$0214780 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 801 2$b6680 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006745003321 996 $aMathematical Methods for Geophysics and Space Physics$94388915 997 $aUNINA
