Photographic and Descriptive Musculoskeletal Atlas of Gorilla With Notes on the Attachments Variations Innervation Synonymy and Weight of

Even though the gorilla is our closest living relative information about its anatomy and particularly its musculature is scarce. This book is the first photographic and descriptive musculoskeletal atlas of the gorilla. It includes high-quality photographs of musculoskeletal structures from most anatomical regions of the body along with textual information about the attachments innervations and weight of the reported muscles. The atlas is an up-to-date review of the anatomical variations within gorillas as well as an extensive list of the synonyms used in the literature to designate the structures covered in the book. It also contains dissection observations of other primates and vertebrates which are crucial for examining and understanding the homologies between the muscular structures of gorillas humans and other taxa. | Photographic and Descriptive Musculoskeletal Atlas of Gorilla With Notes on the Attachments Variations Innervation Synonymy and Weight of

Group Theory for High Energy Physicists

Group Theory for High Energy Physicists

Although group theory has played a significant role in the development of various disciplines of physics there are few recent books that start from the beginning and then build on to consider applications of group theory from the point of view of high energy physicists. Group Theory for High Energy Physicists fills that role. It presents groups especially Lie groups and their characteristics in a way that is easily comprehensible to physicists. The book first introduces the concept of a group and the characteristics that are imperative for developing group theory as applied to high energy physics. It then describes group representations since matrix representations of a group are often more convenient to deal with than the abstract group itself. With a focus on continuous groups the text analyzes the root structure of important groups and obtains the weights of various representations of these groups. It also explains how symmetry principles associated with group theoretical techniques can be used to interpret experimental results and make predictions. This concise gentle introduction is accessible to undergraduate and graduate students in physics and mathematics as well as researchers in high energy physics. It shows how to apply group theory to solve high energy physics problems.
