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.
Ten years before he discovered the theory of general relativity, Einstein realized that time and space were not two separate entities, but two aspects of one and the same entity.
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 book presents a professional and educational overview of the effects of ionizing radiation on the human body, with an emphasis on biology, medicine, and radiation protection.
