“R. Shankar is a well-known physicist and contagiously enthusiastic educator, whose popular online introductory-physics video lectures have been viewed over a million times. In this second book based on his online courses, Shankar explains electromagnetism, optics, and quantum mechanics, developing the basics and reinforcing the fundamentals. With the help of problem sets and answer keys, students learn about the most interesting findings of today&;s research while gaining a firm foundation in the principles and methods of physics.”

“Electromagnetism is one of the pillars of modern physics. Robert Wald provides graduate students with a clear, concise, and mathematically precise introduction to the subject, covering all the core topics while bringing the teaching of electromagnetism up to date with our modern understanding of the subject. Electromagnetism is usually taught in a quasi-historical fashion, starting from concepts formulated in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but this tends to promote outdated ways of thinking about the theory. Wald begins with Maxwell’s equations—the foundation of electromagnetism—together with the formulas for the energy density, momentum density, and stress tensor of the electromagnetic field. He then proceeds through all the major topics in classical electromagnetism, such as electrostatics, dielectrics, magnetostatics, electrodynamics and radiation, diffraction, and special relativity. The last two chapters discuss electromagnetism as a gauge theory and the notion of a point charge—topics not normally treated in electromagnetism texts.”

Ref.

Uno dei non molti libri accademici dedicati all’analisi delle conseguenze dell’uso delle tecniche quantitative di valuazione in ambito universitario. Il libro è particolarmente interessante anche perché contiene proposte concrete relative ad alternative praticabili.

Ref.

Uno studio importante che raccoglie molte ricerche recenti sull’impatto dello smartphone in diversi ambiti, dalle scuole ai rapporto amicali, dalle famiglie al rapporto con le infrastrutture.

A review from Grant Sanderson, the owner of the most famous mathematics YouTube Channel 3Blue1Brown:
“Steven Strogatz is one of the most well-known math communicators, and for good reason. He has a way of making you love a problem before diving into telling you how it’s solved. Chaos is an incredibly fascinating field, which has only emerged relatively recently in the history of math. This is the well-deserved gold standard for understanding what it’s all about.”

Ref.

It has become among college students’ most preferred books due to the author’s unique writing style and concise and complete content. It is being used as an undergraduate textbook in most physics departments in most countries. This book first teaches learners how to “do” quantum mechanics, and then provides them with a more insightful discussion of what it “means.” Fundamental principles are covered, the quantum theory is presented, and special techniques are developed for attacking realistic problems. The book s two-part coverage organizes topics under basic theory and assembles an arsenal of approximation schemes with illustrative applications.
