Diffusion, Quantum Theory, and Radically Elementary Mathematics. (MN-47) /

Diffusion, Quantum Theory, and Radically Elementary Mathematics. (MN-47) / / ed. by William G. Faris.

Diffusive motion--displacement due to the cumulative effect of irregular fluctuations--has been a fundamental concept in mathematics and physics since Einstein's work on Brownian motion. It is also relevant to understanding various aspects of quantum theory. This book explains diffusive motion...
