Mathematical Figures

In the past decade the language and methods ofmodern differential geometry have been increasingly used in theoretical physics. What seemed extravagant when this book first appeared 12 years ago, as lecture notes, is now a commonplace. This fact has strengthened my belief that today students of theoretical physics have to learn that language-and the sooner the better. Afterall, they willbe the professors ofthe twenty-first century and it would be absurd if they were to teach then the mathematics of the nineteenth century.

This book examines biomass mixture modeling and optimization.
The book discusses anaerobic digestion and related fermentative processes and explains their compositional dynamics. Early chapter examine macromolecules, elemental fractions, and their direct influence on methane production. Supported by an extensive data bank of substrates obtained from research, the book points out correlations that enable the estimation of global methane production for diverse biomass mixtures. Furthermore, it provides valuable insights into discerning the optimal composition capable of yielding the utmost methane output.
