Guided practice helps students develop into expert problem solversThe new 15th Edition of University Physics with Modern Physics, now in SI Units, draws on insights from several users to help students see patterns and make connections between problem types. Students learn to recognize when to use similar steps in solving the same problem type and develop an understanding for problem solving approaches, rather than simply plugging values into an equation. This edition addresses students' tende...

For the calculus-based General Physics course primarily taken by engineers and science majors (including physics majors). This long-awaited and extensive revision maintains Giancoli's reputation for creating carefully crafted, highly accurate and precise physics texts. Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy with a clear and direct narrative and applications that draw the student into the physics.

The new edition also features an unrivaled suite of media a...

The world beyond Superstrings describes a world with dimensions smaller than Planck length (1.616229 x 10-35 [m] ). Since 1971 Superstrings, within the dimensions of the Planck length, have been considered to be the building element for elementary particles . The question rises: What are Superstrings made of? What is the building material for Superstrings? This book offers an attempt to find new answers beyond unknown borders.

To find the new unknown boundaries we have to go back in time. B...

David Hume said that although a mountain exists and gold exists, a golden mountain is not real. In the same manner, we cannot simply combine abstractions of reality and assume they refer in any meaningful way to reality.

If you are a physicist, prepare to have many of your beliefs shaken to the ground. This book shows that many of the abstract notions in contemporary physics, like probability distribution and entanglement are merely golden mountains.

But this book does not only perform a har...

13 Groundbreaking Formulas. In my humble opinion formulas and equations are the gateway to deeper understanding. They can be powerful, magical and baffling. I hope you are

willing to take a journey with me. We will explore 13 groundbreaking formulas. What do they mean? Which concepts do they represent?

Albert Einstein, Lorentz and Minkowski published in 1905 the Theory of Special Relativity and Einstein published in 1915 his field theory of general relativity based on a curved 4-dimensional space-time continuum to integrate the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field in one unified field. Since then the method of Einstein’s unifying field theory has been developed by many others in more than 4 dimensions resulting finally in the well-known 10-dimensional and 11-dimensional “s...

When you read this book, it is very likely that the world of Physics is still very calm. Like in the early morning, just when the sun rises. You feel peace and the birds start to wake up and you hear the first sounds breaking the silence of the night. The sounds of joy, the sounds of happiness, the sounds of peace. But it is the morning of the great battle. The battle in physics. Still everybody is asleep. There is no sign of aggression. But soon the armies will rise and the battle will be da...

Thoroughly revised for its second edition, this advanced textbook provides an introduction to the basic methods of computational physics, and an overview of progress in several areas of scientific computing by relying on free software available from CERN. The book begins by dealing with basic computational tools and routines, covering approximating functions, differential equations, spectral analysis, and matrix operations. Important concepts are illustrated by relevant examples at each stage.

The author also discusses more advanced topics, such as molecular dynamics, modeling continuous systems, Monte Carlo methods, genetic algorithm and programming, and numerical renormalization. It includes many more exercises. This can be used as a textbook for either undergraduate or first-year graduate courses on computational physics or scientific computation...
