The Mathematics of Diffusion 2nd edn

Barton, G·1975·Physics Bulletin

Abstract

J Crank London: Oxford University Press 1915 pp viii + 414 price £12.50 A down-to-earth, workmanlike and easy-to-follow account of how analytic and numerical methods can solve the diffusion equation and some of its generalizations in a series of increasingly complicated situations, with very many examples clearly worked through. The book is not taylor made for physicists, since it does not rely 500 on or exploit theoretical physics' common stock-in-trade of nomenclature, concepts, and analogies, and since some topics highly important to physics are ignored altogether (for instance neutron diffusion and Monte Carlo methods).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
