  Quantum Theory of Many-Particle Systems

  Self-contained treatment of nonrelativistic many-particle systems discusses both formalism and applications in terms of ground-state (zero-temperature) formalism, finite-temperature formalism, canonical transformations, and applications to ...

• 

  Introduction to Statistical Mechanics

  The goal of this text is to help the reader obtain a clear working knowledge of the very useful and powerful methods of equilibrium statistical mechanics and to enhance the understanding and appreciation of the more advanced texts.

  Introduction to Modern Physics: Theoretical Foundations

  Our understanding of the physical world was revolutionized in the twentieth century — the era of “modern physics''. This book, aimed at the very best students, presents the foundations and frontiers of today's physics.

• 

  Introduction to Modern Physics: Solutions to Problems

  The present book provides solutions to the over 175 problems in Introduction to Modern Physics: Theoretical Foundations in what we believe to be a clear and concise fashion.

• 

  Topics in Modern Physics: Theoretical Foundations

  While the two previous books entitled Introduction to Modern Physics: Theoretical Foundations and Advanced Modern Physics: Theoretical Foundations exposed the reader to the foundations and frontiers of today's physics, the goal of this ...

• 

  Introduction To Classical Mechanics: Solutions To Problems

  Both lectures assume a good, concurrent course in calculus and familiarity with basic concepts in physics; the development is otherwise self-contained.As an aid for teaching and learning, and as was previously done with the publication of ...
