Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
The fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology are now sufficiently mature that most top universities offer a course in these and related subjects. That in turn calls for a textbook. Introduction to...

Quantum Mechanics
"Why yet another book on quantum mechanics?" the authors ask. It is courageous of them to pose this obvious question in the first sentence of their book because most new treatments of quantum...

College Physics: Reasoning and Relationships
For too many students who take one physics course at college, the subject is just one darned thing after another. Purdue University professor Nicholas Giordano tries to do something about this by...

Introduction to General Relativity
Einstein's general relativity was once taught only in graduate courses, but no longer. Lewis Ryder, an exceptionally fine teacher at the University of Kent, has written a lucid account of the subject...

Introduction to Elementary Particles
The problem with particle physics is that it contains ideas that have only relatively recently been united in a coherent theory. Teaching it to undergraduates can therefore sometimes be a challenge....

Thermodynamics: From Concepts to Applications
Thermodynamics, the authors tell us, is viewed by many students as a difficult subject. This is their attempt to provide a clear and accessible introduction to the subject that is self-contained and...

Using Counter-Examples in Calculus
Using Counter-Examples in Calculus provides the serious (or, alternatively, mildly sadistic) mathematics lecturer with a cornucopia of counter-examples to falsify conjectures and expose sham...
