05 A General Relativity Workbook Thomas A. Moore A General Relativity Workbook is a textbook intended to support a one-semester upper division undergraduate course on general relativity. Through its unique workbook-based design, it enables students to develop a solid mastery of both the physics and the supporting tensor calculus by pushing (and guiding) them to work through the implications. Each chapter involves a short overview of the concepts without obscuring derivations or details, followed by a series of boxes that guide students through the process of working things out for themselves. This activelearning approach enables students to develop a more secure mastery of the material than more traditional approaches. More than 350 homework problems support further learning. Special Relativity Thomas M. Helliwell Special Relativity is a superb text for students to begin or continue a serious study of physics. The book evolved through years of teaching a highly-successful course to thousands of firstyear students in science and engineering. It is appropriate as part of an introductory physics course, as a supplement to a “modern physics” course, as a text for a special topics or advanced placement course, or even as a supplement in an advanced undergraduate course. Numerous illustrations, examples, and problems are presented throughout, with the concise mathematical description postponed until after the reader has built up some physical intuition for what is going on. 2012 Paperback 536 pages ISBN 978-1-891389-82-5 £57.99 2009 Paperback 306 pages ISBN 9781891389610 £44.99 www.scionpublishing.com Physics Catalogue.indd 5 14/06/2018 13:42
06 Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers Donald A. McQuarrie Intended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in chemistry, physics, math and engineering, this book is also a must-have for the personal library of all advanced students in the physical sciences. Comprised of more than 2000 problems and 700 worked examples that detail every single step, this text is exceptionally well adapted for self study as well as for course use. Famous for his clear writing, careful pedagogy, and wonderful problems and examples, McQuarrie has crafted yet another tour de force. 2003 Paperback 1184 pages ISBN 978-1-891389-29-0 £66.99 Modern Physics, 2e For scientists and engineers John Taylor, Chris D. Zafiratos and Michael A. Dubson With more than 100 years of combined teaching experience and PhDs in particle, nuclear, and condensed-matter physics, these three authors could hardly be better qualified to write this introduction to modern physics. They have combined their award-winning teaching skills with their experience writing best-selling textbooks to produce a readable and comprehensive account of the physics that has developed over the last hundred years and led to today’s ubiquitous technology. Assuming the knowledge of a typical freshman course in classical physics, they lead the reader through relativity, quantum mechanics, and the most important applications of both of these fascinating theories. 2015 Paperback 744 pages ISBN 978-1-938787-75-1 £78.99 New and bestselling titles from Scion and University Science Books Physics Catalogue.indd 6 14/06/2018 13:42
