Book Description
We will provide material that will drill the user in problem-solving techniques. These books would be ideal for young engineers just starting out in the their careers, who may not remember the fundamental problem-solving techniques they were taught in their beginning engineering education, or will benefit from the refresher when faced with their first big project at their new company. Each subtopic under Mechanics will be addressed in a separate section. Each section will begin with a brief explanation of the topic. Then the math derivations will be provided. This information does not intend to teach the topic, yet provides a reference to the topic, or brief synopsis. After the derivations, there will be 5 fully worked out problems, then 5 practice problems. The solutions to the practice problems will be available on the companion website. They will make use of practical issues, and will force the user to look at the same problem from various angles, thereby driving home the problem-solving technique.

Quantum Mechanics
Author: Mark Julian Everitt
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119829879
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
Quantum mechanics: from classical analytical mechanics to quantum mechanics, simulation, foundations & engineering Quantum mechanics is a fundamental subject in physics, often considered to be one of the most conceptually challenging topics. In many undergraduate courses, it is assumed that students are unfamiliar with the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of classical mechanics or the role of probability in Liouville's theorem (analytical mechanics). As a result, quantum physics is typically introduced using heuristic arguments, which can lead to surprising and counterintuitive concepts, and sometimes even incorrect interpretations. This book takes an alternative approach by leveraging classical analytical mechanics to facilitate a natural transition to quantum physics. By introducing and utilising classical mechanics, we provide a solid foundation for understanding quantum phenomena. We discuss important examples within this context and explore both exact and computational methods. Additionally, this book delves into quantum measurement and the transition from the quantum to the classical realm. It also introduces the emerging field of Quantum Systems Engineering, which focuses on the systematic design and construction of quantum technologies, such as quantum computers and sensors. Key features of this textbook include: Mathematics and Classical Analytical Mechanics: The necessary mathematical background and classical analytical mechanics are introduced gradually, allowing readers to focus on one conceptual challenge at a time. Deductive Approach: Quantum mechanics is presented on the firm foundation of classical analytical mechanics, ensuring a logical progression of concepts. Pedagogical Features: The book includes helpful notes, worked examples, problems, computational challenges, and problem-solving approaches to enhance understanding. Comprehensive Coverage: It goes beyond introductory texts by including topics such as open quantum systems and phase-space methods. Advanced computational methods are also discussed, including good programming practices and code design. Much of the code needed to reproduce figures throughout the book is provided. Consideration of Foundations: The measurement problem and correspondence principle are addressed only after sufficient material has been introduced to allow for an open and critical discussion. Introduction to Quantum Systems Engineering: This book provides an accessible introduction and motivation to this framework. This textbook is suitable for undergraduate students in physics and graduate students in mathematics, chemistry, engineering, and materials science.

The Mathematical Mechanic
Author: Mark Levi
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400830478
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Everybody knows that mathematics is indispensable to physics--imagine where we'd be today if Einstein and Newton didn't have the math to back up their ideas. But how many people realize that physics can be used to produce many astonishing and strikingly elegant solutions in mathematics? Mark Levi shows how in this delightful book, treating readers to a host of entertaining problems and mind-bending puzzlers that will amuse and inspire their inner physicist. Levi turns math and physics upside down, revealing how physics can simplify proofs and lead to quicker solutions and new theorems, and how physical solutions can illustrate why results are true in ways lengthy mathematical calculations never can. Did you know it's possible to derive the Pythagorean theorem by spinning a fish tank filled with water? Or that soap film holds the key to determining the cheapest container for a given volume? Or that the line of best fit for a data set can be found using a mechanical contraption made from a rod and springs? Levi demonstrates how to use physical intuition to solve these and other fascinating math problems. More than half the problems can be tackled by anyone with precalculus and basic geometry, while the more challenging problems require some calculus. This one-of-a-kind book explains physics and math concepts where needed, and includes an informative appendix of physical principles. The Mathematical Mechanic will appeal to anyone interested in the little-known connections between mathematics and physics and how both endeavors relate to the world around us.
