The book is intended as a general background, after which the student can read texts that deal with semiconductors, dielectrics or magnetic materials in more detail.
The book also contains elements for understanding the quantum Hall effect and the Josephson effect, two effects important in precise measurements, measuring standards, and the development of computers.
The collection is characterized by a wealth of well-chosen examples from all areas of mathematical analysis, from differential calculus, integral calculus, and differential equations, and approximate calculation methods are also covered.
The first book in the series covers topics in mathematics and mechanics. These include basic mathematical concepts, differential and integral calculus, vector analysis, kinematics and dynamics.
A clearly structured dictionary provides an overview of key terms necessary for understanding nuclear physics, nuclear technology, safety and the application of atomic energy.
