Insel-Hopping in der Südsee - wer träumte nicht davon? Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, Fidschi, Neue Hebriden / Vanuatu, Salomonen, Papua-Neuguinea, Australien, Bali - das sind die Stationen einer zweimonatigen Reise in den 70er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts, damals sicher nicht alltäglich. Im Rückblick erinnert sich der Autor an diese von Kalifornien aus gestartete Tour und reichert sie mit zahlreichen damals aufgenommenen Fotos aus seinem Fundus an.

Statistics links microscopic and macroscopic phenomena, and requires for this reason a large number of microscopic elements like atoms. The results are values of maximum probability or of averaging. This introduction to statistical physics concentrates on the basic principles, and attempts to explain these in simple terms supplemented by numerous examples. The basic principles concentrated on are the difference between classical and quantum st...

Harald J.W. Müller-Kirsten, geb. 1935 in Halle/Saale, war Professor für Theoretische Physik an der Technischen Universität Kaiserslautern. Neben zahlreichen Forschungspublikationen auf den Gebieten von mathematischer Physik und Elementarteilchenphysik hat er mehrere international beachtete Fachbücher herausgebracht. Im vorliegenden Text blickt er auf seine im In- und Ausland gemachten Beobachtungen an Universitäten und auf zeitgeschichtliche T...

Electrodynamics is a basic area of physics, encompassing also classical and quantum physics, optics, relativity and field theory, and is of universal practical importance. The present text aims at a balance between basic theory and practical applications, and includes introductions to specific quantum mechanical effects. The detailed presentation allows the reader to follow every step. Each chapter is supplemented by both worked examples and u...

This is a comprehensive text on electrodynamics with detailed explanations and calculations. One hundred worked examples have been incorporated, making this book also suitable for self-instruction. Apart from all traditional topics of the Maxwell's theory, this book includes the special theory of relativity and the Lagrangian formalism and applications, the text also contains introductions to quantum effects related to electrodynamics, such as...

This text on quantum mechanics begins by covering all the main topics of an introduction to the subject. It then concentrates on newer developments. In particular it continues with the perturbative solution of the Schr¿dinger equation for various potentials and thereafter with the introduction and evaluation of their path integral counterparts. Considerations of the large order behavior of the perturbation expansions show that in most applicat...

Supersymmetry is a symmetry which combines bosons and fermions in the same multiplet of a larger group which unites the transformations of this symmetry with that of spacetime. Thus every bosonic particle must have a fermionic partner and vice versa. Since this is not what is observed, this symmetry with inherent theoretical advantages must be badly broken. It is hoped that the envisaged collider experiments at CERN will permit a first experim...

After a consideration of basic quantum mechanics, this introduction aims at a side by side treatment of fundamental applications of the Schr?dinger equation on the one hand and the applications of the path integral on the other. Different from traditional texts and using a systematic perturbation method, the solution of Schr?dinger equations includes also those with anharmonic oscillator potentials, periodic potentials, screened Coulomb potent...

This text provides a pedagogical tour through mechanics from Newton to Einstein with detailed explanations and a large number of worked examples. From the very beginning relativity is kept in mind, along with its relation to concepts of basic mechanics, such as inertia, escape velocity, Newton's potential, Kepler motion and curvature. The Lagrange and Hamilton formalisms are treated in detail, and extensive applications to central forces and r...
