The twelve-chapter book begins with Newtons laws of motion and subsequently covers topics such as thermodynamics and statistical physics, electrodynamics, special and general relativity, quantum mechanics and cosmology, the standard model and quantum chromodynamics. The writing is lucid, and the theoretical discussions are easy to follow for anyone comfortable with standard mathematics. An important addition in this second edition is a set of exercises and problems, distributed throughout the book. Some of the problems aim to complement the text, others to provide readers with additional useful tools for tackling new or more advanced topics. Furthermore, new topics have been added in several chapters; for example, the discovery of extra-solar planets from the wobble of their mother stars, a discussion of the Landauer principle relating information erasure to an increase of entropy, quantum logic, first order quantum corrections to the ideal gas equation of state due to the Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics. Both gravitational lensing and the time-correction in geo-positioning satellites are explained as theoretical applications of special and general relativity. The discovery of gravitational waves, one of the most important achievements of physical sciences, is presented as well. Professional scientists, teachers, and researchers will also want to have this book on their bookshelves, as it provides an excellent refresher on a wide range of topics and serves as an ideal starting point for expanding ones knowledge of new or unfamiliar fields. Readers of this book will not only learn much about physics, they will also learn to love it. 001437115 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from digital title page (viewed on June 15, 2021). 001437115 650_0 $$aPhysics. 001437115 650_0 $$aPhysics$$xHistory. 001437115 650_6 $$aPhysique. 001437115 650_6 $$aPhysique$$xHistoire. 001437115 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001437115 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001437115 7001_ $$aPerez Rojas, Hugo,$$eauthor. 001437115 7001_ $$aTureanu, Anca,$$eauthor. 001437115 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aChaichian, Masud.$$tBasic Concepts in Physics.$$dBerlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, ©2021$$z9783662623121 001437115 830_0 $$aUndergraduate lecture notes in physics. 001437115 852__ $$bebk 001437115 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-662-62313-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001437115 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1437115$$pGLOBAL_SET 001437115 980__ $$aBIB 001437115 980__ $$aEBOOK 001437115 982__ $$aEbook 001437115 983__ $$aOnline 001437115 994__ $$a92$$bISE
