This volume by an astrophysics pioneer concerns the phenomena occurring during the flight of meteors through the terrestrial atmosphere. Beginning with a historical view of the study of meteor activity, the text examines atmospheric conditions and the classification and physico-chemical properties of meteors. Also includes meteoroid energy transfer, ablation, atomic collisions, and meteor radiation. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Interscience, New York, 1959. 14 figures. 55 tables.
Theory of Approximation by N. I. Achieser Graduate-level text by a pioneer of modern developments in approximation theory approaches the subject from the standpoint of functional analysis. Clear treatments of classical topics and an extensive section of problems and applications.
Orthogonal Functions by G. Sansone Covers expansion in a series of orthogonal functions and preliminary notions of Hilbert space; expansion in Fourier series and in series of Legendre polynomials and spherical harmonics; expansions in Laguerre and Hermite series.
The Origins of the Infinitesimal Calculus by Margaret E. Baron Historical account of infinitesimal calculus, beginning with background mathematical concepts from Greek, Hindu, and Arabic sources, and with particular focus on the geometric techniques and methods developed in the17th century. 1969 edition.
Principles of Meteorological Analysis by Walter J. Saucier Highly respected classic, geared toward intermediate-level meteorology students, discusses broad-scale analysis and local analysis and provides a brief survey of analysis in the tropics. 1955 edition. 511 illustrations.
