Fundamentals of Physical Science
Author: James T. Shipman
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin
ISBN: 9780669397642
Category : Physical sciences
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
[The book] is designed for the college nonscience major. The textbook emphasizes the basic concepts in physics, chemistry, and astronomy and presents an overview of meteorology and geology. Because many courses cover only physics, chemistry, and perhaps astronomy, [the authors] have concentrated [their] efforts in those areas of physical science; however, [they] do provide broad-brush coverage of meteorology and geology for courses that present more of a survey of phsycial science. One of the features of [the book] is the importance [the authors] place on fundamental concepts ... [Their] approach is more descriptive than quantitative ... Even though [they] have treated each discipline both descriptively and quantitively, little emphasis is placed on math. [They] have provided mathematical assistance for students who may need it.-Pref.

Fundamentals of Quantum Physics
Author: Pedro Pereyra
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642293786
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
This book presents a comprehensive course of quantum mechanics for undergraduate and graduate students. After a brief outline of the innovative ideas that lead up to the quantum theory, the book reviews properties of the Schrödinger equation, the quantization phenomena and the physical meaning of wave functions. The book discusses, in a direct and intelligible style, topics of the standard quantum formalism like the dynamical operators and their expected values, the Heisenberg and matrix representation, the approximate methods, the Dirac notation, harmonic oscillator, angular momentum and hydrogen atom, the spin-field and spin-orbit interactions, identical particles and Bose-Einstein condensation etc. Special emphasis is devoted to study the tunneling phenomena, transmission coefficients, phase coherence, energy levels splitting and related phenomena, of interest for quantum devices and heterostructures. The discussion of these problems and the WKB approximation is done using the transfer matrix method, introduced at a tutorial level. This book is a textbook for upper undergraduate physics and electronic engineering students.

Fundamentals of Plasma Physics
Author: Paul M. Bellan
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139449737
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
This rigorous explanation of plasmas is relevant to diverse plasma applications such as controlled fusion, astrophysical plasmas, solar physics, magnetospheric plasmas, and plasma thrusters. More thorough than previous texts, it exploits new powerful mathematical techniques to develop deeper insights into plasma behavior. After developing the basic plasma equations from first principles, the book explores single particle motion with particular attention to adiabatic invariance. The author then examines types of plasma waves and the issue of Landau damping. Magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium and stability are tackled with emphasis on the topological concepts of magnetic helicity and self-organization. Advanced topics follow, including magnetic reconnection, nonlinear waves, and the Fokker–Planck treatment of collisions. The book concludes by discussing unconventional plasmas such as non-neutral and dusty plasmas. Written for beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates, this text emphasizes the fundamental principles that apply across many different contexts.

Fundamentals of Physics
Author: David Halliday
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470469110
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
This book arms engineers with the tools to apply key physics concepts in the field. A number of the key figures in the new edition are revised to provide a more inviting and informative treatment. The figures are broken into component parts with supporting commentary so that they can more readily see the key ideas. Material from The Flying Circus is incorporated into the chapter opener puzzlers, sample problems, examples and end-of-chapter problems to make the subject more engaging. Checkpoints enable them to check their understanding of a question with some reasoning based on the narrative or sample problem they just read. Sample Problems also demonstrate how engineers can solve problems with reasoned solutions. INCLUDES PARTS 1-4 PART 5 IN FUNDAMENTALS OF PHYSICS, EXTENDED

Fundamentals of Condensed Matter Physics
Author: Marvin L. Cohen
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316571505
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 461
Book Description
Based on an established course and covering the fundamentals, central areas and contemporary topics of this diverse field, Fundamentals of Condensed Matter Physics is a much-needed textbook for graduate students. The book begins with an introduction to the modern conceptual models of a solid from the points of view of interacting atoms and elementary excitations. It then provides students with a thorough grounding in electronic structure and many-body interactions as a starting point to understand many properties of condensed matter systems - electronic, structural, vibrational, thermal, optical, transport, magnetic and superconducting - and methods to calculate them. Taking readers through the concepts and techniques, the text gives both theoretically and experimentally inclined students the knowledge needed for research and teaching careers in this field. It features 246 illustrations, 9 tables and 100 homework problems, as well as numerous worked examples, for students to test their understanding. Solutions to the problems for instructors are available at www.cambridge.org/cohenlouie.
