Quantum Physics: A Fundamental Approach to Modern Physics
This brilliantly innovative textbook is intended as a first introduction to quantum mechanics and its applications. Townsend's new text shuns the historical ordering that characterizes so-called Modern Physics textbooks and applies a truly modern approach to this subject, starting instead with contemporary single-photon and single-atom interference experiments.
Preface The existence of the digital computer and other devices using binary digits has resulted in a renewal of interest in the mathematical theory of finite fields. The main exposition of the foundations of the subject was written over fifty years ago and has been out of print for many years.
Over the years, Barron?s popular and widely-used Easy Way books have proven themselves to be accessible self-teaching manuals. They have also found their way into many classrooms as valuable and easy-to-use textbook supplements. The titles cover a wide variety of both practical and academic topics, presenting fundamental subject matter so that it can be clearly understood and provide a foundation for more advanced study. Easy Way books fulfill many purposes.
Scroll Saw for the first timeThe hugely successful For the First Time® series of beginners’ guides ventures into woodworking, and that’s good news for those who want to try one of today’s hottest crafts. With this fully illustrated, question-and-answer manual to the scroll saw, novices can jump in and create great decorative items right away. From the most fundamental query—How do I get started?—it moves on to questions such as How do I attach a pattern onto the wood and then cut a basic shape? and How do I make a simple jigsaw puzzle?
