This book studies the role of physical mechanisms in the growth and replication of living organisms. Presently, these phenomena are overwhelmingly considered as biological, genetic, and biochemical, which is much true. However, natural phenomena exist in a real world that does not have purely physical or biological boundaries, which subjectively imposed by excessive human desire for classification and clustering of everything. Physical laws influence such universal phenomena as growth and replication too. The book presents an interesting hypothesis, and its convincing proofs, with regard to existence of such fundamental physical mechanisms shaping the organisms' growth and replication. It introduces a general mathematical equation of the growth of living organisms, illustrated by numerical examples. The material is presented in such a way that it is accessible to any person interested in the subject.

The author proposes a special nonlinear quantum field theory. In a linear approximation, this theory can be presented in the form of the Standard Model (SM) theory. The richer physical structure of this nonlinear theory makes it possible to exceed the limits of SM and remove its known incompleteness. We show that nonlinearity of the field is critical for the appearance of charges and masses of elementary particles, for confinement of quarks, and many other effects, whose description within the framework of SM causes difficulties. In this case, the mechanism of generation of masses is mathematically similar to Higgs's mechanism, but it is considerably simpler and does not include the additional particles. The proposed theory does not examine the theory of gravity, but reveals the mathematical similarity of the nonlinear field equations of both theories. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students studying the theory of elementary particles, as well as for specialists working in this field.

This book introduces the physical mechanisms that besides the biochemical and other factors govern the growth and replication of living organisms. Presently, these phenomena are overwhelmingly considered as biological, genetic, and biochemical, which is true. However, natural phenomena exist in a real world that does not have purely physical or biological boundaries. Physical laws, as an inherent part of Nature, influence such universal phenomena as growth and replication of living organisms. The book presents detailed study of such fundamental physical growth mechanism. It introduces a general mathematical equation describing the growth of living organisms from the physical and geometrical perspective, and applies it to modeling of different growth scenarios supported by experimental observations. Cells' growth is the primary area of the study, although the author also makes some generalizations and comments on related natural philosophy issues. One small chapter considers the growth of multicellular organisms. The whole material is presented in such a way that any person interested in the subject and familiar with the basics of physics and biology will be comfortable with the main concepts and the whole content, which is much facilitated by numerous graphical illustrations.

Mortgages and Annuities This book presents a coherent and comprehensive coverage of mathematical foundations for mortgages and annuities, as well as related computational algorithms for software applications and financial calculators. It also considers the specifics of implementing these algorithms in industrial financial systems. Starting from scratch, the reader, together with the author, builds a solid, efficient and complete knowledge base. Concise and carefully arranged material presents equally well all necessary theoretical underpinnings of the subject and its practical aspects. Lots of numerical examples, exercises and problems contribute to producing a high quality text. U...
