Finding our place in the universe :how we discovered Laniakea, the Milky Way'…
How a team of researchers, led by the author, discovered our home galaxy's location in the universe. You are here: on Earth, which is part of the solar system, which is in the Milky Way galaxy, which itself is within the extragalactic supercluster Laniakea. And how can we pinpoint our location so precisely For twenty years, astrophysicist H?el?ne Courtois surfed the cosmos with an international…

Ships and science :the birth of naval architecture in the scientific revoluti…
"In Ships and Science, Ferreiro argues that the birth of naval architecture formed an integral part of the scientific revolution. Using Bouguer's work [Trait?e du navire - Treatise of the ship] as a cornerstone, Ferreiro traces the intriguing and often unexpected development of this new discipline and describes its practical application to ship design in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries…

Elementary Mechanics Using Matlab A Modern Course Combining Analytical and N…
This book – specifically developed as a novel textbook on elementary classical mechanics – shows how analytical and numerical methods can be seamlessly integrated to solve physics problems. This approach allows students to solve more advanced and applied problems at an earlier stage and equips them to deal with real-world examples well beyond the typical special cases treated in standard te…

Vibro-Acoustics, Volume 1
This three-volume book gives a thorough and comprehensive presentation of vibration and acoustic theories. Different from traditional textbooks which typically deal with some aspects of either acoustic or vibration problems, it is unique of this book to combine those two correlated subjects together. Moreover, it provides fundamental analysis and mathematical descriptions for several crucial ph…

Verifying Calculations - Forty Years On An Overview of Classical Verificatio…
This work provides an overview of a posteriori error assessment techniques for Finite Element (FE) based numerical models. These tools aim at estimating and controlling the discretization error in scientific computational models, being the basis for the numerical verification of the FE solutions. The text discusses the capabilities and limitations of classical methods to build error estimates w…
