This book focuses  on the mathematical development of the subject, assuming no prior  knowledge of it, with a strong emphasis on the underlying physical  interpretation. This framework is used to discuss the most relevant  instabilities which are believed to be closely involved in the way  galaxies are formed, in a model independent manner. The relevant  observed properties of galaxies that may be used to establish the role  of these physical mechanisms are discussed. \u003cbr\u003e  The book also includes a chapter discussing numerical simulation  techniques, with attention paid to their limitations and to recent  advances in this approach. It is demonstrated that recent developments  in computer hardware enable a detailed comparison of simulations with  analysis. Thus the simulations extend our physical understanding  beyond the limitations of the analysis. \u003cbr\u003e  The book is intended for use by postgraduate students and researchers  in the areas of cosmology, extragalactic astronomy and dynamics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1994-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792324553\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-3059-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 297cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 350\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47661313917068,"sku":"9780792324553","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792324553.jpg?v=1776427636","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792324553","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
