(Paperback)

This is an introductory account of the physics of elementary particles and their interactions, with a minimum of formal apparatus and an ease of reading which, at present, is found in few other books in physics. It is designed for graduate students and for physicists not specializing in the field. The various phenomena are interpreted and correlate

One of the most fundamental problems in elementary particle physics is the study of the interaction of the pion meson with nucleons. It is believed that the pion meson plays a fundamental role in the description of nuclear forces and it is important, therefore, to understand the interaction of these particles. The primary method of gaining informat

(Paperback)

Introduces plasma physics from the ground up, presenting it as a comprehensible field that can be grasped largely on the basis of physical intuition and qualitative reasoning, similar to other fields of physics. This book is intended for graduate students as well as for working astrophysicists.

(Paperback)

This book is unique in that it presents a fundamental physics based on exact numbers. Proof of the validity of this fundamental exact-numbers core, my EN-Core, constitutes a significant portion of this work.

(Paperback)

From classical mechanics to general relativity, this volume surveys the key principles in various areas of physics. It starts with a review of mathematical methods and summarizes the widely used concepts in physics, detailing derivations and applications. It serves as a text in a review course or as a supplemental text in higher-level courses.

(Paperback)

Poses problems in the areas of mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. This title covers such topics as condensed matter, relativity and astrophysics, nuclear physics, elementary particles, and atomic and general physics.

(Paperback)

Starts with Dirac's analysis showing that gauge theories are constrained Hamiltonian systems. This book is a systematic study of the classical and quantum theories of gauge systems. It discusses reducible gauge systems, and explains the relationship between BRST cohomology and gauge invariance.

(Paperback)

Stochastic mechanics is a description of quantum phenomena in classical probabilistic terms. This work contains an account of the kinematics of diffusion processes, including diffusions on curved manifolds that are necessary for the treatment of spin in stochastic mechanics.

(Hardback)

Teaches the often counterintuitive physics of quantum mechanics by working through detailed applications of general ideas. This book uses the hyperfine structure of atomic hydrogen (the 21 cm line): the computation of the energy splitting and the induced and spontaneous transition rates. It emphasizes the art of numerical estimates.

The quantum theory of macroscopic systems is an area of science that serves to relate the properties of physical objects to those of their constituent particles. This book provides an approach, based on a 'macrostatistical mechanics', which contrasts with the standard microscopic treatments of many-body problems.

(Paperback)

This monograph combines a thorough introduction to the mathematical foundations of n-body Schrodinger mechanics with numerous new results. Originally published in 1971. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton Universi

(Paperback)

Reviews the history and recent development of mathematics, logic, and the physical sciences to show that current work in quantum theory offers new answers to questions that have puzzled philosophers for centuries: Is the world ultimately intelligible Are all events caused Do objects have definitive locations

(Paperback)

A physicist's efforts to understand the enigma that is quantum mechanics.

(Paperback)

The forty-nine papers collected here illuminate the meaning of quantum theory as it is disclosed in the measurement process. Together with an introduction and a supplemental annotated bibliography, they discuss issues that make quantum theory, overarching principle of twentieth-century physics, appear to many to prefigure a new revolution in scienc

(Paperback)

The author demonstrates how the dark matter problem is now connected with two of the hottest areas in recent cosmology: the fate of the universe and the cosmological constant. This classic text (previously "The Fifth Essence") has been updated to include significant new theories of the 1990s.

(Paperback, New and Expanded Edition)

Offers an introduction to the concepts and techniques of statistical physics that students of biology, biochemistry, and biophysics must know. This title provides a basis for understanding random motions of molecules, subcellular particles, or cells, or of processes that depend on such motion or are markedly affected by it.

(Hardback)

Recent advances in pure and applied physics are explored.
