Ho-Kim Q. Kurnar N. Lam C.S. Invitation to contemporary physics (2nd Edition)

2 edition. Springer, 2010. 620 p. ISBN:3642102972 This introduction to Atomic and Molecular Physics explains how our present model of atoms and molecules has been developed during the last two centuries by many experimental discoveries and from the theoretical side by the introduction of quantum physics to the adequate description of micro-particles. It illustrates the wave model of particles by many examples and shows the limits of classical d...

McGraw-Hill, New York, 2010, second edition, 1122 p. Preface: Physics is intended for a two-semester college course in introductory physics using algebra and trigonometry. Our main goals in writing this book are to present the basic concepts of physics that students need to know for later courses and future careers, to emphasize that physics is a tool for understanding the real world, and to teach transferable problem-solving skills that student...
