In Riemannian geometry, measurements are made with both yardsticks and protractors. These tools are represented by a family of inner-products. In Riemann-Finsler geometry (or Finsler geometry for short), one is in principle equipped with only a family of Minkowski norms. So ardsticks are assigned but protractors are not. With such a limited tool kit, it is natural to wonder just how much geometry one can uncover and describe?

An Introduction to Hydrodynamics and Water Waves


Free Download An Introduction to Hydrodynamics and Water Waves by Bernard Méhauté
English | PDF | 1976 | 326 Pages | ISBN : 3642855695 | 55.6 MB
Hydrodynamics is the science which deals with the v motion of liquid in the macroscopic sense. It is essentially a field which is regarded as applied mathematics because it deals with the mathematical treatments of basic equations for a fluid continuum obtained on a purely Newtonian basis. It is also the foundation of hydraulics, which, as an art, has to compromise with the rigorous mathematical treatments because of nonlinear effects, inherent instability, turbulence, and the complexity of" boundary conditions" encountered in engineering practice. Therefore, this book can be considered as the text for a course in basic hydrodynamics, as well as for a course in the fundamentals of hydraulic and related engineering disciplines.

Acts An Introduction and Commentary


Free Download I. Howard Marshall, "Acts: An Introduction and Commentary"
English | 2008 | pages: 447 | ISBN: 0830842357 | EPUB | 2,2 mb
In the book of Acts the story of Jesus begun in the Gospel of Luke broadens into the story of the Holy Spirit, guiding the fledgling church to proclaim the saving reality of Jesus. While attentive to Luke’s roles as a literary artist and theologian, I. Howard Marshall focuses primarily on Luke’s role as a historian. He provides the reader with an accurate, balanced and holistic picture of the church’s monumental first years as it sought to fulfill Christ’s mandate to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series. The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. Written by some of the world’s most distinguished evangelical scholars, these twenty volumes offer clear, reliable and relevant explanations of every book in the New Testament. The Tyndale volumes are designed to help readers understand what the Bible actually says and what it means. The introduction to each volume gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date and historical background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. The aim throughout is to get at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message plain to readers today.

Time A Multidisciplinary Introduction


Free Download Time
by Sarit Kattan Gribetz, Lynn Kaye

English | 2023 | ISBN: 3110689057 | 218 pages | True PDF EPUB | 32.92 MB
Time permeates language, society, and individual lives, but time eludes definition. From grand scales of geologic time to the exasperation of waiting in endless bureaucratic lines, from the unifying sense of ancestral presence at an ancient monument to the imminent question of climate resilience, this volume presents conceptions of time through a kaleidoscope of cultures and disciplines. Accessible to students and scholars alike, the book demonstrates that far from natural, stable, or singular, time is culturally dependent, historically contingent, socially constructed, and disciplinarily specific – and that multidisciplinary and cross-cultural conversations transform our understanding of time.
