Description
xxi, 483 pages : illustrations; 25 cm
Summary
The purpose of this book is to help experimental and theoretical students--in all disciplines--learn intermediate, graduate level physics. As such, it is not the ultimate research tool or the last word on any subject but rather a vehicle to move a student from pupil to researcher.
