An Introduction to Stellar Physics for Amateurs

EBook Description: This is a book about the physics of stars and starlight. The story of starlight is truly fascinating. Astronomers analyze and interpret the light from stars using photometry and spectroscopy, then inspirational detective work combines with the laws of physics to reveal the temperatures, masses, luminosities and outer structure of these far away points of light. The laws of physics themselves enable us to journey to the very center of a star and to understand its inner structure and source of energy!

In addition to the traditional topics of mechanical vibrations and waves, coupled oscillators, and electro magnetic radiation, students will also learn about musical instruments, red sunsets, glories, coronae, rainbows, haloes, X ray binaries, neutron stars, black holes and big bang cosmology.

My Big Toe A Trilogy Unifying Philosophy, Physics, And Metaphysics

The complete My Big TOE trilogy has now been combined into one paperback volume at a substantial savings over buying the three volumes separately.

Principles Of Physics

This successful text was the first to address the latest teaching and learning trends as suggested by the Introductory University Physics Project (IUPP) guidelines. PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS features a concise approach to traditional topics, an early introduction to modern physics, integration of physics education research pedagogies, as well as the integration of contemporary topics throughout the text. This revision of PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS also contains text/media integration unlike no other through the PhysicsNow online assessment, tutorial, and course management system.

Theoretical Nuclear And Subnuclear Physics

This book is a revised and updated version of the most comprehensive text on nuclear physics, first published in 1995. It maintains the original goal of providing a clear, logical, in-depth, and unifying treatment of modern nuclear theory, ranging from the nonrelativistic many-body problem to the standard model of the strong, electromagnetic, and weak interactions. In addition, new chapters on the theoretical and experimental advances made in nuclear physics in the past decade have been incorporated. Four key topics are emphasized: basic nuclear structure, the relativistic nuclear many-body problem, strong-coupling QCD, and electroweak interactions with nuclei.

Physics Modeling for Game Programmers Publisher

Physics Modeling for Game Programmers demystifies the variety of physical models on the forefront of the next major revolution in game development that will add photo-realism to games: Sound, Wave Motion, Light, Fluids, Fabrics, and Solids. The book covers high-level material while making it accessible to a wide range of readers. Each subject covered includes illustrations and fun, visual examples. The code is simple and comprehensible, but the effects it produces are stunning. Programmers who want to include 3D math and physics in a game have to wade through physics textbooks and dreary tomes on linear algebra and group theory, only to find that the material is too abstract to be used directly in their games. This book gives readers the skills they want and need to incorporate real physics into their games. As they work through the book, they will constantly develop tools, demos and working games.

Advances Electronics And Electron Physics

A few months ago when writing the Preface to our Volume XIV I announced that the material was too ample for inclusion in a single volume and that we would have to split it into Volumes XIV and XV. This circumstance explains the rapid publication of our new volume since the material was available soon after the publication of our preceding one.
It appears a t present that this may not be an isolated phenomenon. One particular instance where we will have to issue more than one volume a year is known to us already. Three years ago Professor McGee of London University had organized a symposium on photo electronic imaging devices. The proceedings of that symposium were issued as our Volume XI1 and were very well received. In view of the success of this previous experience I am pleased to announce a repetition of this experiment. Professor McGee is organizing again in September 1961 a new symposium on the same subject and the proceedings of this symposium will come out as either our Volume XVI or XVII, depending upon when the material for these two volumes is read

Invitation to Contemporary Physics

This completely revised second edition of our hugely popular book invites the reader to explore ten of the most important areas of modern physics: Symmetry, Lasers, Superconductivity, Bose�Einstein Condensation, Nanoscience, Quantum Computation, Chaos and Fractals, Stellar Evolution, Particles, and Cosmology.

Physics Higher Level

Welcome to your new course! This book is designed to act as a comprehensive course book, covering the core and AHL material and all the options you might take while studying for the IB Diploma in Physics at Higher Level. It will also help you to prepare for your examinations in a thorough and methodical way. Chapters 1 to 9 provide coverage of the core and AHL material. Chapters 10 to 15 cover the options E to J. HL students are required to study two of these options. Within each chapter, there are numbered exercises for you to practise and apply the knowledge that you have gained. The exercises will also help you to assess your progress. Sometimes, there are worked examples that show you how to tackle a particularly tricky or awkward question.

An Introduction To Thermal Physics

This text provides a balanced, well-organized treatment of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, making thermal physics interesting and accessible to anyone who has completed a year of calculus-based introductory physics. Part I introduces essential concepts of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics from a unified view, applying concepts in a select number of illustrative examples. Parts II and III explore further applications of classical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Throughout, the emphasis is on real-world applications.

MIT - Physics Classical Mechanics

8.01 is a first-semester freshman physics class in Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory. In addition to the basic concepts of Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory, a variety of interesting topics are covered in this course: Binary Stars, Neutron Stars, Black Holes, Resonance Phenomena, Musical Instruments, Stellar Collapse, Supernovae, Astronomical observations from very high flying balloons (lecture 35), and you will be allowed a peek into the intriguing Quantum World.
