  • The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. III

    The New Millennium Edition: Quantum Mechanics

    by Richard P. Feynman, Robert B. Leighton, Matthew Sands ...
    "The whole thing was basically an experiment," Richard Feynman said late in his career, looking back on the origins of his lectures. The experiment turned out to be hugely successful, spawning publications that have remained definitive and introductory to physics for decades. Ranging from the basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum ... Read more

  • Rational Kinematics

    by Jorge Angeles ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    A rational study of kinematics is a treatment of the subject based on invariants, i.e., quantities that remain essentially unchanged under a change of observer. An observer is understood to be a reference frame supplied with a clock (Truesdell 1966). This study will therefore include an introduction to invariants. The language of these is tensor analysis and multilinear algebra, both of which ... Read more

  • Fracture Mechanics

    by Alan T. Zehnder ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Fracture mechanics is a vast and growing field. This book develops the basic elements needed for both fracture research and engineering practice. The emphasis is on continuum mechanics models for energy flows and crack-tip stress- and deformation fields in elastic and elastic-plastic materials. In addition to a brief discussion of computational fracture methods, the text includes practical ... Read more

  • Cosmic Anger: Abdus Salam - The First Muslim Nobel Scientist

    by Gordon Fraser ...
    This book presents a biography of Abdus Salam, the first Muslim to win a Nobel Prize for Science (Physics 1979), who was nevertheless excommunicated and branded as a heretic in his own country. His achievements are often overlooked, even besmirched. Realizing that the whole world had to be his stage, he pioneered the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, a vital focus of Third ... Read more

  • History and Evolution of Concepts in Physics

    by Harry Varvoglis ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Our understanding of nature, and in particular of physics and the laws governing it, has changed radically since the days of the ancient Greek natural philosophers. This book explains how and why these changes occurred, through landmark experiments as well as theories that - for their time - were revolutionary. The presentation covers Mechanics, Optics, Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics, Relativity ... Read more

  • From Spinors To Quantum Mechanics

    by Gerrit Coddens ...
    From Spinors to Quantum Mechanics discusses group theory and its use in quantum mechanics. Chapters 1 to 4 offer an introduction to group theory, and it provides the reader with an exact and clear intuition of what a spinor is, showing that spinors are just a mathematically complete notation for group elements. Chapter 5 contains the first rigorous derivation of the Dirac equation from a simple ... Read more

    From the Simple Two-Level System to Irreducible Representations

    by Dirk Dubbers, Hans-Jürgen Stöckmann ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This concise tutorial provides the bachelor student and the practitioner with a short text on quantum physics that allows them to understand a wealth of quantum phenomena based on a compact, well readable, yet still concise and accurate description of nonrelativistic quantum theory. This “quadrature of the circle” is achieved by concentrating first on the simplest quantum system that still ... Read more
