Originally published in 1963.This volume provides a rigorous interpretation that portrays science and religion in their actualities as personal, communal and cultural phenomena involving different concerns, conceptions and modes of inquiry. The role of key aspects of their life and thought are investigated. They are found to be remarkably alike and their basic differences, far from making them mutually exclusive, reveal them as potentially complimentary and mutually helpful.

Everything you need to know about your playful new pet Thinking of getting a ferret? It's not unusual--millions of people worldwide keep ferrets as pets, and they've been domesticated for around 2,500 years! While they're quiet for a lot of the day (catching up on important beauty sleep), when they're awake, they're lively, affectionate, and curious--and require lots of quality interaction with their humans. And that's why a happy ferret is a well-trained one, whose owner knows everything there is to know about its needs! Ferrets For Dummies, 3rd Edition is here to make sure you become just that kind of owner, fully equipped to give your little friend the best possible home. It's packed with practical information on feeding, housing, health, medical care, and much more. You'll also find the latest on diet, dental hygiene, common ailments, and how to build an enjoyable and engaging environment for your smart, energetic new pet. There's even a section on how to get to know your ferret properly (spotting those little mood swings) and how to introduce it to play well with friends and family. Make sure a ferret's the pet for you Ferret-proof your home Keep a clean house Find the right vet Whether you have a jill (female), a hob (male), or a full "business" of ferrets (several), Ferrets For Dummies helps you ferret out whatever you need to know--and ensure that your fuzzy new pal is a healthy, happy member of the household.

This volume presents the contributions to the international workshop entitled "Lattice Gauge Theory - a Challenge in Large Scale Computing" that was held in Wuppertal from November 4 to 7, 1985. This meeting was the third in a series of European workshops in this rapidly developing field. The meeting intended to bring together both active university research ers in this field and scientists from industry and research centers who pursue large scale computing projects on problems within lattice gauge theory. These problems are extremely demanding from the point of view of both machine hardware and algorithms, for the verification of the continuum fields theories like Quantum Chromodynamics in four-dimensional Euclidean space-time is quite cumbersome due to the tremendously large number of de grees of freedom. Yet the motivation of theoretical physicists to exploit computers as tools for the simulation of complex systems such as gauge field theories has grown considerably during the past years. In fact, quite a few prominent colleagues of ours have even gone into machine building, both in industry and research institutions: more parallelism, and more de dicated computer architecture are their design goals to help them boost the Megaflop rate in their simulation processes. The workshop contained several interesting seminars with status reports on such supercomputer projects like the Italian APE (by E. Marinari), the IBM project GF-11 (by D. Weingarten), and the Danish projects MOSES and PALLAS (by H. Bohr)."

Die uberarbeitete und aktualisierte zweite Auflage des Repetitorium Theoretische Physik enthalt den kanonischen Lehrstoff der Theoretischen Physik, der in den ersten 6 Semestern an deutschen Universitaten gelehrt wird. Zwei junge theoretische Physiker bieten den Prufungsstoff fur Vordiplom, Zwischenprufung, Diplom und Staatsexamen in pragnanter und argumentativ stringenter Darstellung. Von der klassischen Mechanik uber Elektrodynamik, Quantenmechanik und Statistische Physik/Thermodynamik werden alle Themen in einer axiomatisch-deduktiven Darstellung behandelt und durch UEbungen mit Loesungen sowie Zusammenfassungen gefestigt. Das Buch eignet sich sowohl als begleitendes Lehrbuch als auch zum Wiederholen und Strukturieren von bereits vertrautem Lehrstoff und uberbruckt somit die Kluft zwischen umfangreichen Lehrbuchern und reinen Formelsammlungen. Dieses Repetitorium der Theoretischen Physik wird insbesondere all jene begeistern, die sich in der Prufungsvorbereitung befinden und den Lehrstoff noch einmal im Zusammenhang durchgehen wollen.
