A Guide to Physics Problems : Part 2: Thermodynamics, Statistical Physics, and Quantum Mechanics

Springer, 1997

In order to equip hopeful graduate students with the knowledge necessary to pass the qualifying examination, the authors have assembled and solved standard and original problems from major American universities – Boston University, University of Chicago, University of Colorado at Boulder, Columbia, University of Maryland, University of...

Relativistic Quantum Chemistry: The Fundamental Theory of Molecular Science

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

A relativistic consistent quantum-theoretical description of electronic bound states in atoms was first introduced in atomic physics as early as the late 1920s and has been pushed forward since that time. It was believed, however, that effects stemming from Einstein’s theory of relativity were of little or even no importance to chemistry....

No Shadow of a Doubt: The 1919 Eclipse That Confirmed Einstein's Theory of Relativity

Princeton Press, 2019

On their 100th anniversary, the story of the extraordinary scientific expeditions that ushered in the era of relativity

In 1919, British scientists led extraordinary expeditions to Brazil and Africa to test Albert Einstein’s revolutionary new theory of general relativity in what became the...

MHD Flows in Compact Astrophysical Objects: Accretion, Winds and Jets (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library)

Springer, 2009

Accretion flows, winds and jets of compact astrophysical objects and stars are generally described within the framework of hydrodynamical and magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) flows. Analytical analysis of the problem provides profound physical insights, which are essential for interpreting and understanding the results of numerical simulations....

Core Principles of Special and General Relativity

CRC Press, 2018

This book provides an accessible, yet thorough, introduction to special and general relativity, crafted and class-tested over many years of teaching. Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this book provides clear descriptions of how to approach the mathematics and physics involved. It is also contains the latest...

Practical Relativity: From First Principles to the Theory of Gravity

John Wiley & Sons, 2010

The book is intended to serve as lecture material for courses on relativity at undergraduate level. Although there has been much written on special relativity the present book will emphasize the real applications of relativity. In addition, it will be physically designed with the use of box summaries so as to allow easy access of practical...

The Universe: A View from Classical and Quantum Gravity

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

Written by a well-known author in the field, this book presents a modern understanding of the universe based on relativity, quantum physics and their elusive combination. It introduces the crucial theoretical ingredients in an accessible way, starting from the physics of Newton and developing subsequent theories all the way to the modern...

Particle and Astroparticle Physics (Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation)

Taylor & Francis, 2007

From superstring theory to models with extra dimensions to dark matter and dark energy, a range of theoretically stimulating ideas have evolved for physics beyond the standard model. These developments have spawned a new area of physics that centers on the interplay between particle physics and cosmology—astroparticle physics. Providing the...

An Introduction to Mathematical Cosmology

Cambridge University Press, 2001

This book provides a concise introduction to the mathematical aspects of the origin, structure and evolution of the universe. The book begins with a brief overview of observational and theoretical cosmology, along with a short introduction to general relativity. It then goes on to discuss Friedmann models, the Hubble constant...

Theory of Relativity

Dover Publications, 1981

THIRTY-FIVE years ago this article on the theory of relativity, written by me at the rather young age of 21 years for the Mathematical Encyclopedia, was first published as a separate monograph together with a preface by Sommerfeld, who as the editor of this volume of the Encyclopedia was responsible for my authorship. It was the aim of the...
