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 Compact also includes Classical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, and Quantum Statistics and Thermodynamics.
