Classical Covariant FieldsMark BurgessDiscusses the classical foundations of field theory,using the language of variational methods andcovariance. It explores the limits of what can beachieved with purely classical notions, and showshow these classical notions have a deep and impor-tant connection with the second quantized field the-ory, which follows on from the Schwinger ActionPrinciple.

Patterns of SpeculationA Study in Observational Econophysics

Bertrand M. RoehnerFollowing a few simple but unconventional ideas,this book shows it is possible to find hidden regulari-ties with a behind-the-scenes look at speculativeepisodes.
