Cambridge University Press Introduction to the Physics of Waves
Book SynopsisBalancing concise mathematical analysis with the real-world examples and practical applications that inspire students, this textbook provides a clear and approachable introduction to the physics of waves. The author shows through a broad approach how wave phenomena can be observed in a variety of physical situations and explains how their characteristics are linked to specific physical rules, from Maxwell's equations to Newton's laws of motion. Building on the logic and simple physics behind each phenomenon, the book draws on everyday, practical applications of wave phenomena, ranging from electromagnetism to oceanography, helping to engage students and connect core theory with practice. Mathematical derivations are kept brief and textual commentary provides a non-mathematical perspective. Optional sections provide more examples along with higher-level analyses and discussion. This textbook introduces the physics of wave phenomena in a refreshingly approachable way, making it ideal forTrade Review'This gem of a book will enable students to appreciate the core theme: that understanding wave motion is fundamental to almost every contemporary aspect of physics. This is an ideal purchase for undergraduates as it fills a gap left by traditional textbooks treating the same topics in a stereotyped manner which is too mathematical. Freegarde's lucid prose alongside the simple, effective and contemporary examples are noteworthy features. The numerous end-of-chapter exercises will be useful for instructors and students alike.' Ifan G. Hughes, Durham University'Freegarde's text on waves allows construction of a more cohesive physics curriculum, one with significant 'scaffolding', designed to revisit, reinforce and refine student understanding of core concepts, both within the bounds of this foundational course and, quite naturally, in subsequent courses that follow within the physics major. This stands in contrast to traditional modern physics … with a set of instructional labs consisting of historically entrenched experiments that are largely disconnected from one another. For example, I cannot think of any department which asks its students to do the Millikan oil drop experiment and then later asks them to 'build' upon that in any significant sense. Focused treatment of oscillations and waves allows early development of core formalism necessary for the major, which also lends itself toward supporting a more cohesive set instructional labs, building toward further work in E&M, optics, and quantum mechanics.' Gabe Spalding, Illinois Wesleyan University'Tim Freegarde is a physicist who is clearly fascinated by waves. His book is an introductory text that covers a broad range of wave phenomena throughout optics, electromagnetism, sound, oceanography and much more. It is written in an engaging style and includes many unexpected topics at this level, such as tsunamis, frayed guitar strings and retarded electromagnetic potentials. Freegarde does not shy away from detailed mathematical treatments where appropriate and physics students who invest in this book early in their undergraduate career will find themselves returning to it on many occasions.' Richard Thompson, Imperial College London'There are already some excellent textbooks on wave phenomena available, but Freegarde has introduced a helpful new volume that balances brief mathematical derivations with new examples and practical applications. He expanded in a fascinating manner his undergraduate physics lecture notes from the past fifteen years. This book will help students to appreciate that understanding wave motion is fundamental to almost every branch of physics. It covers a broad range of wave phenomena in optics, electromagnetism, sound, quantum mechanics, oceanography and other fields. The exercises at the end of each chapter will be useful for instructors and students alike. I recommend it as a textbook for undergraduate students in the physical sciences.'

Cambridge University Press Fundamentals of Condensed Matter Physics
Book SynopsisBased on an established course and covering the fundamentals, central areas and contemporary topics of this diverse field, Fundamentals of Condensed Matter Physics is a much-needed textbook for graduate students. The book begins with an introduction to the modern conceptual models of a solid from the points of view of interacting atoms and elementary excitations. It then provides students with a thorough grounding in electronic structure and many-body interactions as a starting point to understand many properties of condensed matter systems - electronic, structural, vibrational, thermal, optical, transport, magnetic and superconducting - and methods to calculate them. Taking readers through the concepts and techniques, the text gives both theoretically and experimentally inclined students the knowledge needed for research and teaching careers in this field. It features 246 illustrations, 9 tables and 100 homework problems, as well as numerous worked examples, for students to test theirTrade Review'At the same time modern and classic, a text in the grand tradition of Kittel, and Ashcroft and Mermin, proposed by two great masters of condensed matter physics.' Erio Tosatti, SISSA and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics'An elegant and pedagogical journey into the basic foundations, concepts and techniques of condensed matter physics.' John D. Joannopoulos, Director of The Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'This book, written by two physicists who have done groundbreaking work in the field, elegantly explains complex condensed matter physics concepts in a way that anyone with an average undergraduate education in mathematics and physics can read and understand. Such a book will be valuable not only for those who are theoretically inclined, but also for those who are going to pursue experimental or computational research in condensed matter physics or materials science. Even graduate students in engineering will find this book a useful text and reference.' Che Ting Chan, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology'[Fundamentals of Condensed Matter Physics] is based on lectures given as part of the condensed matter physics graduate course at the University of California, Berkeley since 1965. This course was taught over the years by one of the authors, either Marvin L. Cohen or Steven G. Louie. More than one thousand students have followed the lectures. It also includes 100 homework problems … There are sixteen chapters, each very well written, that give a good insight into important models in solid state physics. There are many books at the undergraduate level but at the graduate level books generally focus on specific topics. The Fundamentals of Condensed Matter Physics fills a much needed gap.' Yves Petroff, Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron (LNLS)'Cohen and Louie do an admirable job of guiding the reader gradually from elementary concepts to advanced topics … The first two parts are required reading for the beginner planning to perform DFT calculations. The advanced student interested in conducting research in condensed-matter physics will benefit from continuing on to the last two parts. The narrative is aided by appropriate equations and detailed figures. References at the end of the book direct the reader to relevant books and review articles for each chapter. The authors present the underlying mathematics elegantly, which makes the textbook quite readable for those with a good mathematical background … This book covers new ground by explaining Feynman diagrams and by making a foray into the low-dimensional world of carbon nanotubes and graphene nanostructures. It fills the need for a rigorous graduate-level textbook, and is a required addition to the bookshelf of every condensed-matter physicist.' Ram Devanathan, MRS Bulletin'Is there room in this crowded market for yet another textbook? Having reviewed this book, I would say that the answer is an emphatic YES! … Move aside A&M - here at last comes a worthy successor! …This is clearly a book by two leading theoretical/computational scientists … the focus is on the underlying theory and the computational methods used to explore these ideas. … The many hours of 'road testing' the explanations shows through, and so all of the concepts are clearly explained in words, equations and figures, and the overall feel is very fresh and readable. At long last, there is now an excellent graduate-level textbook that covers all of modern condensed matter physics at a reasonable level. This book is a 'must-have' for every researcher in this field - whether a new graduate student or a seasoned 'old hand' - there is something for everyone in this book.'
