Buongiorno, si tratta della trattazione storica più completa della ricerca di vita su altri pianeti. È introvabile nelle biblioteche di Torino ed è un punto di riferimento per la storia del coinvolgimento della NASA in queste ricerche. Grazie

This book gives a mathematical treatment of the introduction to qualitative differential equations and discrete dynamical systems. The treatment includes theoretical proofs, methods of calculation, and applications. The two parts of the book, continuous time of differential equations and discrete time of dynamical systems, can be covered independently in one semester each or combined together into a year long course.
The material on differential equations introduces the qualitative or geometric approach through a treatment of linear systems in any dimension. There follows chapters where equilibria are the most important feature, where scalar (energy) functions is the principal tool, where periodic orbits appear, and finally, chaotic systems of differential equations. The many different approaches are systematically introduced through examples and theorems. The material on discrete dynamical systems starts with maps of one variable and proceeds to systems in higher dimensions. The treatment starts with examples where the periodic points can be found explicitly and then introduces symbolic dynamics to analyze where they can be shown to exist but not given in explicit form. Chaotic systems are presented both mathematically and more computationally using Lyapunov exponents. With the one-dimensional maps as models, the multidimensional maps cover the same material in higher dimensions. This higher dimensional material is less computational and more conceptual and theoretical. The final chapter on fractals introduces various dimensions which is another computational tool for measuring the complexity of a system. It also treats iterated function systems which give examples of complicated sets.

Testo moderno di fondamentale importanza nell’aeroacustica. Il testo si avvicina molto agli argomenti proposti nei corsi di Aeroacustica del Politecnico rispetto ad altri testi meno specifici

é uno studio della controversia tecno-scientifico-ambientale intorno alla base per sommergibili nuclleari a La Maddalena. è uno dei pochi studi che usa gli strumenti dei Science and Technology Studies, mia materia di insegnamento, per quanto riguarda il passato dell’Italia. Esso è dunque un testo rilevante per il mio corso che è trasversale a tutti i corsi del triennio e a cui farò riferimento in classe.

While studying Kapitza’s pendulum for my course, I couldn’t find anything in ordinary textbooks. The only legitimate source was to actually read his research paper that Pyotr Kapitza published in the 1950s. Here is the link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/9780080109732/collected-papers-of-p-l-kapitza

Among many (at least 10) analytical mechanics textbooks that I have read, I would say that this book is the most approachable and beginner-friendly analytical mechanics textbook I have ever read (at among those written in English). I also realized that the order of the contents well-aligns with the course “Meccanica Lagrangiana” at Politecnico di Torino.

This book provides an understanding of differential equations, but more from the pure math side of things. V. Arnold gives a wonderful picture of what the field is all about, with a mixture of high-level intuitions and low-level details, with a satisfying focus on visual and physical intuition along the way. I am aware that this book is available in DISMA, but it is not accessible to non-math majors.

Unlike classical differential geometry books like Kreyzig, this is a relatively modern differential geometry textbook. What differentiates this book most from other differential geometry textbooks is that this book contains a lot of very useful physics applications like a cycloidal pendulum (Huygens pendulum). I found this textbook to be extremely helpful when studying classical mechanics. In addition, there are some professors who teach curves and surfaces in a very rigorous way in Mathematical Analysis II (Analisi Matematica II), which would make this book the perfect fit.
