Building a Revolution: Chinese Architecture Since 1980
Author: Charlie Q.L. Xue | Size: 35.5 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Hong Kong Univ Press | Year: 2006 | pages: 204 | ISBN: 9622097448
Since China's modernization began in 1980, the country has witnessed exponential growth in construction activities. In a deliberate attempt to break away from the past, China has shown remarkable drive and determination to refashion itself in terms of architectural and town planning practices. While there are many books about traditional Chinese architecture and gardens, this is perhaps the first book in English to introduce the dramatic new look of China.

* Re-examines classical material, including gyroscopes, precessions, spinning tops, effects of rotation of the Earth on gravity motions
* Places analytical mechanics, such as Lagrange's equations, on sound mathematical and physical ground
* Encompasses recent developments in the solvability of Hamilton–Jacobi PDEs
Classical mechanics is a chief example of the scientific method organizing a "complex" collection of information into theoretically rigorous, unifying principles; in this sense, mechanics represents one of the highest forms of mathematical modeling. This textbook covers standard topics of a mechanics course, namely, the mechanics of rigid bodies, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism, stability and small oscillations, an introduction to celestial mechanics, and Hamilton–Jacobi theory, but at the same time features unique examples—such as the spinning top including friction and gyroscopic compass—seldom appearing in this context. In addition, variational principles like Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics are treated in great detail.
Using a pedagogical approach, the author covers many topics that are gradually developed and motivated by classical examples. Through `Problems and Complements' sections at the end of each chapter, the work presents various questions in an extended presentation that is extremely useful for an interdisciplinary audience trying to master the subject. Beautiful illustrations, unique examples, and useful remarks are key features throughout the text.
Classical Mechanics: Theory and Mathematical Modeling may serve as a textbook for advanced graduate students in mathematics, physics, engineering, and the natural sciences, as well as an excellent reference or self-study guide for applied mathematicians and mathematical physicists. Prerequisites include a working knowledge of linear algebra, multivariate calculus, the basic theory of ordinary differential equations, and elementary physics.

The objective of this book is to provide the reader with a practical tool for reliability analysis of structures. The presented material is intended to serve as a textbook for a one semester course for undergraduate seniors or graduate students. The material is presented assuming the reader has some background in structural engineering and structural mechanics. Previous exposure to probability and statistics is helpful but not required; the most important aspects of probability and statistics are reviewed early in the text.
