This introductory physics course is for first-year engineering students. Based on the authors’ teaching experiences, it covers classical mechanics, oscillation, radiation, thermodynamics, and fluidics to ease the transition for students who struggle with the topic.
The book is written with the goal of assisting teaching physics to first year engineering students at university level. The students are introduced to the needed mathematical background in the beginning which introduces the concept of motion. These concepts are expanded to cover different topics in classical mechanics, oscillation, radiation, thermodynamics and fluidics. The book by no means replaces specialized courses. It is however an introductory course in itself that touches upon those topics at a basic fundamental level.
The contents of the book are written based on the authors’ experiences and struggles while teaching first year university students. Hence, through the course of this book, the authors try to provide sufficient content that could possibly ease the transition for students who struggle with the topic. The book is a useful tool for teachers who face similar situations particularly with large numbers and wide diversity of students.
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the physics of intense laser-plasma interaction, motivated by applications in high-energy-density physics. For master’s and graduate students, it combines accessible theory with up-to-date developments and practical exercises.
This book generalizes transforms from accelerated frames to inertial frames—essential for real-world applications where labs are not truly inertial. It covers the theory and derivation of relativistic fictitious forces (Coriolis, centrifugal) and the Thomas Wigner effect.
This book explores statistical physics, focusing on subjects from condensed matter to black holes. It discusses gas-liquid transitions, the entropy of earthquakes, the hadronization of the quark-gluon plasma, and the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics.
Yefremov provides insights into the tight connection between fundamental math and mechanics, demonstrating that quantum, classical, and relativistic mechanics can be regarded as links of a single theoretical chain readily extracted from a simple mathematical medium.
This book presents a unified, accessible approach to the physics of the liquid state, in and out of equilibrium. It covers statistical mechanics and complex fluids, making it an indispensable reference for graduate students and researchers in physics and chemistry.
This book graphically represents metallic and semi-metallic elements, allowing their nature to be interpreted. Each element is plotted in a diagram with thermal conductivity on the abscissa and the Young’s modulus on the ordinate.
This book explores how simple optical systems can create fascinating quantum states, including Schrödinger’s cat-type states of light. Using abundant graphics over formulas, it makes modern quantum optics accessible to scientists, teachers, and students of physics.
This book provides the “picture of reality” for the quantum world that eluded Einstein. It offers a realistic interpretation compatible with all experimental evidence, plus new perspectives on dark energy, dark matter, and stellar collapse, summarizing 50 years of research.
This book is a guide to performing uniform broadband measurements with low uncertainty. It discusses radiometric, photometric, color, and LED measurements, and shows how to avoid large errors by standardizing the measurement procedure and using properly selected meters.
At last, a clear path through quantum mechanics. This book intuitively unravels entanglement and wave-particle duality, revealing a profound truth: the objectivity of reality is not a simple yes-or-no question.
