Essential Mathematics for the Physical Sciences, Volume 1
Homogenous Boundary Value Problems, Fourier Methods, and Special Functions
Language: English
Release Date: October 31, 2017
Physics is expressed in the language of mathematics; it is deeply ingrained in how physics is taught and how it's practiced. A study of the mathematics used in science is thus asound intellectual investment for training as scientists and engineers. This first volume of two is centered on methods of...
From Newton to Einstein
Ask the Physicist about Mechanics and Relativity
Language: English
Release Date: December 1, 2014
From Newton to Einstein is a book devoted to classical mechanics. "Classical" here includes the theory of special relativity as well because, as argued in the book, it is essentially Newtonian mechanics extended to very high speeds. This information is expanded from the author's popular...
