John H. RogersJupiter is an extraordinary colourful and dynamic world. Over minutes one can watch tiny shadows cast by the moons - from the volcanic world of Io through to the puckered, beaten Callisto - sliding over its surface. Over days and weeks a parade of diverse, giant, swirling storms can be seen to move and evolve. It is because of this richness of visual and physical properties that Jupiter has intrigued amateur and professional astronomers and has been the target of several space missions. This highly illustrated volume, largely written in non-technical terms, provides a comprehensive and accessible account of Jupiter and its satellites, synthesising data from amateur and professional astronomers and space missions. It reviews systematic telescopic observations over more than 100 years as well as modern observations and theories, and the wealth of data from the Pioneer, Voyager and Ulysses space missions. Many of the hand-drawings and the images from Voyager are presented and analysed here for the first time. As well as a thorough survey of the planet's atmosphere, this volume provides an up-to-date account of our present knowledge of Jupiter's satellites and magnetosphere, at a level accessible to the non-specialist. As the first full account of Jupiter for nearly 40 years, this volume provides a definitive account of Jupiter for advanced amateur astronomers, professional astronomers and planetary scientists.

Fluid flows are characterized by uncertain inputs such as random initial data, material and flux coefficients, and boundary conditions. The current volume addresses the pertinent issue of efficiently computing the flow uncertainty, given this initial randomness. It collects seven original review articles that cover improved versions of the Monte Carlo method (the so-called multi-level Monte Carlo method (MLMC)), moment-based stochastic Galerkin methods and modified versions of the stochastic collocation methods that use adaptive stencil selection of the ENO-WENO type in both physical and stochastic space. The methods are also complemented by concrete applications such as flows around aerofoils and rockets, problems of aeroelasticity (fluid-structure interactions), and shallow water flows for propagating water waves. The wealth of numerical examples provide evidence on the suitability of each proposed method as well as comparisons of different approaches.

This new, third volume of Cohen-Tannoudji''s groundbreaking textbook covers advanced topics of quantum mechanics such as uncorrelated and correlated identical particles, the quantum theory of the electromagnetic field, absorption, emission and scattering of photons by atoms, and quantum entanglement. Written in a didactically unrivalled manner, the textbook explains the fundamental concepts in seven chapters which are elaborated in accompanying complements that provide more detailed discussions, examples and applications. * Completing the success story: the third and final volume of the quantum mechanics textbook written by 1997 Nobel laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and his colleagues Bernard Diu and Franck Laloe * As easily comprehensible as possible: all steps of the physical background and its mathematical representation are spelled out explicitly * Comprehensive: in addition to the fundamentals themselves, the books comes with a wealth of elaborately explained examples and applications
