"Mathematical Tools for Physicists" is a unique collection of 18 review articles, each one written by a renowned expert of its field. Their professional style will be beneficial for advanced students as well as for the scientist at work. The first may find a comprehensive introduction while the latter use it as a quick reference. The contributions range from fundamental methods right up to the latest applications, including: Algebraic/analytic/geometric methods; Symmetries and conservation laws; Mathematical modelling; and Quantum computation. Great attention was paid to ensuring fast access to the information, and each carefully reviewed article features: an abstract; a detailed table of contents; continuous cross-referencing; references to the most relevant publications in the field, and suggestions for further reading, both introductory as well as highly specialized. In addition, a comprehensive index provides easy access to the enormous number of key words beyond the headlines.

The editors of "Encyclopedia of Physics", whose earlier edition a decade ago won international acclaim from the scientific and library community, now provide a fully revised, expanded and updated second edition of this comprehensive reference resource. This new edition draws from a panel of over 500 expert contributors active in the fields they cover to provide in a single volume a wide-embracing state-of-the-art account of physics and the physical world. These distinguished contributors include fourteen Nobel Prize winners and numerous other recipients of scientific awards for expertise in their specialities.

This is a major revision of a classic, best selling reference book. Originally published by the American Institute of Physics under the title "Physics Vade Mecum" in 1981, and then the second edition in 1989 with the new title "A Physicist's Desk Reference", this third edition has been completely updated and modernized to reflect current modern physics. The book is a concise compilation of the most frequently used physics data and formulae with their derivations. This revision has six more chapters than the second edition, outdated chapters dropped, and new chapters added on atmospheric physics, electricity and magnetism, elementary particle physics, fluid dynamics, geophysics, nonlinear physics, particle accelerators, polymer physics, and quantum theory.There is a new last chapter on practical laboratory data. The references and bibliographies have been updated. This book is an indispensable tool for the researcher, professional and student in physics as well as other scientists who use physics data. The editors of this volume are Richard Cohen, author of the first two chapters of PDR and the "Physics Quick Reference Guide"; David Lide, one of the editors of the previous two editions and the editor of the "CRC Handbook of Physics and Chemistry"; and George Trigg, editor of the "Encyclopedia of Physics" and the "Encyclopedia of Applied Physics" (VCH). The market for this classic reference book includes the practicing scientist, including engineers, chemists, and biologists; and students.
