This two-part text supplies a lucid and self-contained account of classical mechanics. The first part covers Newton's laws of motion and systematically develops the dynamics of classical particles, with chapters on basic principles, rotating coordinate systems, lagrangian formalism, small oscillatio[...]

The 1952 Nobel physics laureate Felix Bloch (1905-83) was one of the titans of 20th-century physics. He laid the fundamentals for the theory of solids and has been called the "father of solid-state physics". His numerous, valuable contributions include the theory of magnetism, measurement of the mag[...]

Our understanding of the physical world was revolutionized in the twentieth century - the era of modern physics. This book, aimed at the very best students, extends the coverage of the theoretical groundwork of today's physics presented in the previous volume: "Introduction to Modern Physics: Theore[...]
