Book synopsis

This compendium of physics covers the key equations and fundamental principles that are taught in graduate programs. It offers a succinct yet systematic treatment of all areas of physics, including mathematical physics, solid state physics, particle physics, statistical mechanics, and optics. In one complete, self-contained volume, author Charles P. Poole provides both review material for students preparing for Ph.D. qualifying examinations and a quick reference for physicists who need to brush up onbasic topics or delve into areas outside their expertise.The author devotes two chapters to regularly needed information such as trigonometric and vector identities and special functions. The remaining chapters incorporate less frequently summoned concepts, including e.g. Lagrangians, parity, dispersion relations, chaos, free energies, statistical mechanical ensembles, and elementary particle classification. A brandnew chapter on entanglement and quantum computing has been added to this second edition. The book is an indispensable resource for graduate students and physicists in industry and academia.
