A Complete Course on Theoretical Physics: From Classical Mechanics to Advanced Quantum Statistics, Paperback

Description

Kompakt und verst ndlich f hrt dieses Lehrbuch in die Grundlagen der theoretischen Physik ein. Dabei werden die blichen Themen der Grundvorlesungen Mechanik, Elektrodynamik, Relativit tstheorie, Quantenmechanik, Thermodynamik und Statistik in einem Band zusammengefasst, um den Zusammenhang zwischen den einzelnen Teilgebieten besonders zu betonen. Ein Kapitel mit mathematischen Grundlagen der Physik erleichtert den Einstieg. Zahlreiche bungsaufgaben dienen der Vertiefung des Stoffes.

About the Author

Albrecht Lindner (1935-2005) received his PhD in 1962 and became a Professor in Hamburg, Germany in 1969. His main fields of expertise were theoretical nuclear physics - statistical theory of nuclear reactions, optical and collective models, isobaric analogue states, and reactions with polarized particles and/or three particles in the final channel - and laser physics (at DESY). He authored two books in German including the "Grundkurs Theoretische Physik".

Dieter Strauch (born 1940) received his PhD in 1968 and has been Professor at the University of Regensburg since 1974. His main fields of expertise are theoretical solid-state physics: model and density-functional calculation of phonon properties with applications to infrared absorption, Raman scattering, and phase transitions, as well as (also experimentally at the ILL and ESRF in Grenoble, France) inelastic neutron and synchrotron scattering.
