Compiled by professional scientists, engineers, and lecturers who are experts in the day-to-day use of physics, the “Handbook” covers topics from classical mechanics to elementary particles, electric circuits to error analysis. The previous editions in German are renowned for their clarity and completeness.
Each chapter contains:
– all the important concepts, formulas, rules and theorems – numerous examples and practical applications – suggestions for problem solving, hints, and cross references – measurement techniques and important sources of errors – numerous tables of standard values and material properties
Access to information is direct and swift through the user-friendly layout, structured table of contents, and extensive index. Like the companion “Handbook of Mathematics and Computational Science” compiled by Harris and Stocker, the “Handbook of Physics” is an invaluable tool for college and graduate students and researchers and practitioners in all fields of engineering and natural science.
FROM THE REVIEWS:
CHOICE (OUTSTANDING TITLE) “Benenson (Michigan State Univ., East Lansing) and colleagues have prepared an invaluable compendium of relationships and indexes from every area of physics. Worth its price, it provides students and researchers a ready access to laws and equations that govern physical behavior and current material facts. The topics covered range from classical mechanics to elementary particles. The handbook provides, as one example from mechanics, the latest understanding of the concept of rolling friction. The reference work is enhanced through additional features in each section that include sample examples, applications of the physics described, problem-solving hints, and measurement techniques pertaining to the specific phenomena in the section. The book’s layout allows easy accessibility to every topic. It includes a very useful appendix on error analysis, excellent line diagrams, and a comprehensive index.”
