This original text develops a deep, conceptual understanding of thermal physics, highlighting the important links between thermodynamics and statistical physics, and examining how thermal physics fits within physics as a whole, from an empirical perspective. The first part of the book is devoted to...
Gribov-85 Memorial Volume: Exploring Quantum Field Theory
Proceedings of the Memorial Workshop Devoted to the 85th Birthday of V N Gribov
Language: English
Release Date: September 16, 2016
Vladimir Naumovich Gribov is one of the creators of modern theoretical physics. The concepts and methods that Gribov has developed in the second half of the 20th century became cornerstones of the physics of high energy hadron interactions (relativistic theory of complex angular momenta, a notion...
A Survey of Computational Physics
Introductory Computational Science
Language: English
Release Date: October 30, 2011
Computational physics is a rapidly growing subfield of computational science, in large part because computers can solve previously intractable problems or simulate natural processes that do not have analytic solutions. The next step beyond Landau's First Course in Scientific Computing and a follow-up...
Tensor Calculus for Physics
A Concise Guide
Language: English
Release Date: October 20, 2014
Understanding tensors is essential for any physics student dealing with phenomena where causes and effects have different directions. A horizontal electric field producing vertical polarization in dielectrics; an unbalanced car wheel wobbling in the vertical plane while spinning about a horizontal...

Quantum Theory and Statistical Thermodynamics
Principles and Worked Examples
Language: English
Release Date: August 16, 2017
This textbook presents a concise yet detailed introduction to quantum physics. Concise, because it condenses the essentials to a few principles. Detailed, because these few principles – necessarily rather abstract – are illustrated by several telling examples. A fairly complete overview of the...
