Welcome to Cambridge Physical Sciences
 |
Cambridge's respected physics list seeks to combine an innovative and cutting edge approach with the highest standards of scholarship, writing and production across the whole range of the discipline. This encompasses everything from academic monographs to student textbooks and professional handbooks. We aim to reflect the latest developments in research, and also to provide materials for graduate and undergraduate students.
Physics publishing at Cambridge started in 1703 with the publication of the second edition of Newton's Principia, and has continued to the present day through the publication of many influential physicists, including Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, Erwin Schrödinger, Gerard 't Hooft, Steven Weinberg, Emil Wolf, John Schwarz, Ed Witten, Michael Green, Stephen Hawking and many others. |
Featured Titles
 |
C. J. Pethick, H. Smith
This book explains the phenomena in ultracold gases from basic principles, without assuming a detailed knowledge of atomic, condensed matter, and nuclear physics. |
|
Alessandro Bettini
This textbook conveys the basic elements of the Standard Model using elementary concepts, without the theoretical rigor found in most other texts on this subject. |
|
Harry Paul
Providing a deeper understanding of the microscopic world through quantum theory, this supplementary text covers a wider range of topics than conventional textbooks. |
|
Denis J. Evans, Gary Morriss
This graduate level book charts the development and theoretical analysis of molecular dynamics as applied to equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems. |
|
M. El-Batanouny, F. Wooten
Unlike existing texts, this book blends for the first time three topics in physics - symmetry, condensed matter physics and computational methods - into one pedagogical textbook.
|
 |
Grupen Shwartz
Describing the current state of the art instrumentation for experiments in high energy physics and astroparticle physics, this new edition describes track detectors, calorimeters, particle identification, neutrino detectors, momentum measurement, electronics, and data analysis.
|
|
Robert Gilmore
Rather than concentrating on theorems and proofs, the book shows the applications of the material to physical sciences and applied mathematics.
|
|
David Morin
This textbook covers all the standard introductory topics in classical mechanics, including Newton's laws, oscillations, energy, momentum, angular momentum, planetary motion, and special relativity.
|
|
Daniel Fleisch
In this guide for students, an equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with detailed, plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of each symbol in the equation, for both the integral and differential forms.
|
|
Richard P. Olenick, Tom M. Apostol, David L. Goodstein
This second volume of the Mechanical Universe studies electricity and magnetism, their relation to each other and light, and shows how the problem of light led to the special theory of relativity.
|
|
Ingemar Bengtsson, Karol Zyczkowski
This book provides an introduction to the key concepts used in processing quantum information and reveals that quantum mechanics is a generalisation of classical probability theory.
|
|
Emil Wolf
The first book to describe a unified treatment of coherence theory and the phenomenon of polarization, made possible by very recent discoveries, some by the author.
|
|
N. David Mermin
A concise introduction to quantum computation for computer scientists who know nothing about quantum theory.
|
|
Mehran Kardar
Based on lectures taught by Professor Kardar at MIT, this book introduces the central concepts and tools of statistical physics.
