Mathematica® for Theoretical Physics
2020Co-Authors: Gerd BaumannAbstract:Mathematica for Theoretical Physics: Classical Mechanics and Nonlinear Dynamics This second edition of Baumann's Mathematica® in Theoretical Physics shows readers how to solve physical problems and deal with their underlying Theoretical concepts while using Mathematica® to derive numeric and symbolic solutions. Each example and calculation can be evaluated by the reader, and the reader can change the example calculations and adopt the given code to related or similar problems. The second edition has been completely revised and expanded into two volumes: The first volume covers classical mechanics and nonlinear dynamics. Both topics are the basis of a regular mechanics course. The second volume covers electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, and fractals and fractional calculus. New examples have been added and the representation has been reworked to provide a more interactive problem-solving presentation. This book can be used as a textbook or as a reference work, by students and researchers alike. A brief glossary of terms and functions is contained in the appendices. The examples given in the text can also be interactively used and changed for the reader’s purposes. The Author, Gerd Baumann, is affiliated with the Mathematical Physics Division of the University of Ulm, Germany, where he is professor. He is the author of Symmetry Analysis of Differential Equations with Mathematica®. Dr. Baumann has given numerous invited talks at universities and industry alike. He regularly hosts seminars and lectures on symbolic computing at the University of Ulm and at TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT MÜNCHEN (TUM), Munich

Is Theoretical Physics the same thing as mathematics
Physics Reports, 1999Co-Authors: George ChaplineAbstract:Abstract The growing realization that the fundamental mathematical structure underlying superstring models is closely related to Langlands’ program for the unification of mathematics suggests that the relationship between Theoretical Physics and mathematics is more intimate than previously thought. We show that quantum mechanics can be interpreted as a canonical method for solving pattern recognition problems, which suggests that mathematics is really just a reflection of the fundamental laws of Physics.

METHODOLOGY OF Theoretical Physics IN ECONOMICS: JERK DYNAMICS
Procedia. Economics and finance, 2015Co-Authors: Tomáš R. ZeithamerAbstract:Abstract This paper is part of research examining the systematic application of methods used in Theoretical Physics in economics. One aspect of this research is the comparison of linear and non-linear analytical structures of Physics with analytical structures of economics. Methodological approaches of Theoretical Physics are used to derive the first step for constructing a principle of correspondence between economic variables and kinematic variables of non-relativistic mechanics: the path corresponds to the instantaneous commodity price; the jerk in mechanics corresponds to the price jerk. Assuming that the market value of the commodity is fully determined exclusively by the value of the instantaneous commodity price, the price jerk equation acquires the form that corresponds to the non-relativistic equation for jerk in mechanics, following from Newton's second law of motion. In this paper price jounce and price crackle are defined. The paper also focuses on factual research in bibliographic and biographical databases showing that representatives of the Czech School of Economics took a leading role in the methodological use of applied and Theoretical Physics in the basic economic research, especially in the second half of the twentieth century.

Methodology of Theoretical Physics in Economics: Examining Price Jerk
Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2015Co-Authors: Tomáš R. ZeithamerAbstract:The introductory part of the work takes a look at methodologies of experimental and Theoretical Physics in relation to basic economic research. Factual research in bibliographic databases shows that representatives of the Czech School of Economics have taken a leading role in the methodological use of applied and Theoretical Physics in basic economic research, particularly in the latter half of the twentieth century. In the second part of the work, methodological approaches of Theoretical Physics are used to derive a linear deterministic motion equation for instantaneous commodity price without an inflexion point. The third part of the work uses the methodology of Theoretical Physics to derive a price jerk equation, which results from a non-linear motion equation for instantaneous commodity price.
