Wolfgang Cassing: Theoretical Physics Compact III, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book, together with the three other volumes, offers a clear and comprehensive approach to theoretical physics for the entire Bachelor's program.

Highlights:

Theoretical derivations are linked with characteristic examples, their solutions, typical applications, and clearly illustrated in diagrams. The required mathematics is derived in a physical context and explained transparently.

Contents:

Principles of Classical Physics -- Limits of Classical Physics -- Beginnings of Quantum Theory: Matter Waves -- Quantum Theory of a Particle -- Operators and Expectation Values -- Measurements and Probabilities -- Particles under the Influence of External Forces -- Fundamentals of Scattering Theory -- The Hilbert Space -- Operators in Hilbert Space -- The Time Evolution Operator -- Particle Number Representation for Fermions -- Particle Number Representation for Bosons -- Quantization of the Radiation Field: Photons -- Formal Scattering Theory -- The Hartree-Fock Approximation -- Superconductivity in the BCS Model

Target Audience:

This book is especially suitable for Bachelor's students in their second or third year.

Prerequisites:

Mathematical prerequisites include knowledge of analysis, linear algebra, and complex function theory.

The Author:

Wolfgang Cassing is a retired Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Justus-Liebig-University Gießen. His expertise lies in phase space dynamics of classical and quantum many-body systems, which also features in his scholarly book "Transport Theories for Strongly-Interacting Systems" . This textbook series Theoretical Physics Compactalso includes Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, and Quantum Statistics and Thermodynamics.
