Su questo libro

Descrizione del libro

This book is concerned with the response of systems in equilibrium to perturbing forces, and the general theory underlying their behaviour. It is Professor Pippard's belief that all practising physicists and engineers should be aware of the disconcerting possibility of real systems to behave unpredictably and this book is intended to encourage the spread of such an awareness.
