By Richard P. Feynman, Ralph Leighton
A New York Times bestseller—the outrageous exploits of 1 of this century's maximum clinical minds and a mythical American original.
In this extraordinary nationwide bestseller, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard P. Feynman recounts in his inimitable voice his adventures buying and selling principles on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and concepts on playing with Nick the Greek, portray a unadorned lady toreador, accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums and lots more and plenty else of an eyebrow-raising and hilarious nature.

Professor E. U. Condon's the idea of Atomic Spectra was once the 1st finished publication at the electron constitution of atoms, and has turn into a world-renowned vintage. initially released in 1980, Atomic constitution was once the past due Professor Condon's ultimate contribution to the literature of this box. accomplished via his colleague and previous pupil Halis Odabşi, this publication was once one of many first built-in bills of the topic to incorporate such advancements as team concept suggestions and Racah tools.
This can be the 3rd, considerably multiplied version of the great textbook released in 1990 at the thought and functions of course integrals. it's the first ebook to explicitly clear up direction integrals of a large choice of nontrivial quantum-mechanical platforms, particularly the hydrogen atom. The suggestions became attainable via significant advances.
Quantum Field Theory I: Foundations and Abelian and Non-Abelian Gauge Theories
This textbook covers a extensive spectrum of advancements in QFT, emphasizing these features which are now good consolidated and for which passable theoretical descriptions were supplied. The e-book is exclusive in that it deals a brand new method of the topic and explores many issues purely touched upon, if coated in any respect, in regular reference works.

Almost all trajectories get arbitrarily close to any point on the energy surface. 3 Dissipative Dynamical Systems An important feature of the Hamiltonian systems discussed in the preceding section is the conservation of the volume element in phase space. For a dissipative system, this volume element contracts and the trajectory approaches a (lower-dimensional) subset of the phase space, an ‘attractor’ . , their bifurcation properties. 27) where x = (x1 , . . , xN ) is a vector in N -dimensional phase space, and v = (v1 , .
