Introduction to the Basic Concepts of Modern Physics

Introduction to the Basic Concepts of Modern Physics

Carlo Maria Becchi; Massimo D'Elia

Springer International Publishing AG
2015
nidottu
This is the third edition of a well-received textbook on modern physics theory. This book provides an elementary but rigorous and self-contained presentation of the simplest theoretical framework that will meet the needs of undergraduate students. In addition, a number of examples of relevant applications and an appropriate list of solved problems are provided.Apart from a substantial extension of the proposed problems, the new edition provides more detailed discussion on Lorentz transformations and their group properties, a deeper treatment of quantum mechanics in a central potential, and a closer comparison of statistical mechanics in classical and in quantum physics.The first part of the book is devoted to special relativity, with a particular focus on space-time relativity and relativistic kinematics. The second part deals with Schrödinger's formulation of quantum mechanics. The presentation concerns mainly one-dimensional problems, but some three-dimensional examples are discussed in detail. The third part addresses the application of Gibbs’ statistical methods to quantum systems and in particular to Bose and Fermi gases.

Was will TRANSFER? Die Reihe TRANSFER will die Aufmerksamkeit auf sozialwissenschaftliehe Da­ ten und Konzepte lenken, die den Politikern und Planem bei der Bestimmung von Reformzielen und deren Begründung helfen können. Dabei soll es vor allem auch darum gehen, die umfangreichen Erfahrungen zu verwerten, die bislang in der Auftragsforschung für die öffentliche Hand gesammelt werden konnten. Es kommt bei diesem Vorhaben nicht nur auf die Aufmerksamkeit einer engen Fachöffentlichkeit an, sondern vor allem auf den Dialog mit denen, die es angeht: auf den Transfer der Argumente und Daten zwischen Politik und Wissen­ schaft - und zwar in beiden Richtungen. Das erfordert eine Verständlichkeit und Überschaubarkeit der dargebotenen Information, die sie auch für Unterricht und Lehre nützlich erscheinen lassen. TRANSFER bietet schwerpunktartige Information. Zu jeweils einem Thema werden Daten, politische und wissenschaftliche Konzepte gebündelt. Ein voll­ ständiger Überblick über den Stand der Forschung ist nicht beabsichtigt, wohl aber werden beispielhaft Beiträge vorgeführt, die für wichtige Vorstöße der For­ schung stehen.

Aber dies ist nicht die Intention dieses Hefts. TRANSFER 2 will weder politische Meinungen widerspiegeln noch liber Parlamentsfragen berichten. TRANSFER 2 ist weder Wahlhandbuch, noch lahrbuch der offentlichen Meinung. Ohne Anspruch auf Vollstiindigkeit wird hier analytisches Material liber den politischen Markt dargeboten. das in dem einen oder anderen Fall gleichwohl als Orientierungshilfe zur Beurteilung des aktuellen Wahlgeschehens dienen mag. Das heii\t aber nicht. die Quersumme aus den einzelnen Beitriigen ergiibe sozu- sagen eine Mei\zahl. die das Wahlergebnis vorwegnimmt. Dies zu leisten sind weder die Herausgeber noch die Wahlforschung imstande; denn die Wahlfor- schung ist als Wissenschaft nicht exakt. und wir waren bewui\t selektiv. Heute wie vor zwanzig Jahren sind Wahlvorhersagen wissenschaftlich nur begrenzt begrUndbar. Immer wieder blieben Prognosen hinter den Erwartungen zurUck; dennoch wird von Wahl zu Wahl erneut danach verlangt. TRANSFER 2 hiilt sich in diesem Punkt zurUck; berichtet wird liber das, was die politische Wahlforschung leisten kann und was bei einem auf die Aktualitiit zentrierten Informationsbedlirfnis hiiufig zu kurz kommt.

Täglich erreichen mich Briefe, in denen beklagt wird, daß die Jugend in Gefahr sei, in Orientierungslosigkeit und Verantwortungslosigkeit zu versinken, und daß damit die Zukunft unserer Gesellschaft insg~samt gefahrdet sei. In diesen Briefen wird häufig auch die Überzeugung zum Ausdruck gebracht, es bedürfe nur der überfälligen Einsicht des zuständigen Ministers, eines Machtwortes am Kabinettstisch, und schon ginge es mit der Erziehung der Jugend in die richtige Richtung. Meine Erfahrungen im Amte des für Jugend zuständigen Bundesministers haben mich gelehrt, daß es außer der Jugend nur ganz wenige Gruppen in unserer Gesellschaft gibt, die weniger Vorurteile auf sich ziehen. Aus diesem Grunde begrüße ich Publikationen wie "transfer 5 ", die uns über die tatsächlichen Pro­ bleme junger Menschen, ihre Ursachen und über Lösungsmöglichkeiten infor­ mieren. Dabei scheint es mir besonders wichtig zu sein, daß wir die jungen Menschen als eigenständige Partner betrachten und ihnen die Möglichkeit ein­ räumen, ihre Probleme selbst zu verarbeiten. Es geht nicht um eine Erziehung und Bildung, die nur Abziehbilder der heute Erwachsenen im Auge hat, sondern darum, die junge Generation so auszurüsten, daß sie mit den ihr von uns mitge­ teilten Erfahrungen zu einer befriedigenden Lebensgestaltung findet und bereit ist, in sozialer Verantwortung einen Beitrag zur weiteren demokratischen Ausge­ staltung dieser Gesellschaft zu leisten. Wenn junge Menschen dabei auch einmal unkonventionelle Wege erkunden wollen, so kann das Erwachsene schon gelegentlich irritieren, sollte sie aber nicht zu Vorurteilen verleiten.

An exploration of the confluence of Sufi and yogic breath-based meditation. For centuries, mystics and seekers in the region of South Asia have pursued techniques of watching the breath, bodily disciplines of yoga, and visionary experiences. The two texts presented here illustrate how adepts of Sufism internalized and explained these practices, starting with an anonymous Persian translation of the Fifty Kamarupa Verses in the fourteenth century, and concluding with Science of Breath composed in English by Hazrat Inayat Khan in the twentieth century. The long tradition of Sufi engagement with yoga, illustrated by these writings, reveals surprising intersections between Hindu and Muslim spiritual practices, and it poses a fascinating challenge to conventional assumptions about interreligious boundaries.

'A necessary book for our times. But also just great fun' Saul Perlmutter, Nobel LaureateThe world is awash in bullshit, and we're drowning in it. Politicians are unconstrained by facts. Science is conducted by press release. Start-up culture elevates hype to high art. These days, calling bullshit is a noble act.Based on a popular course at the University of Washington, Calling Bullshit gives us the tools to see through the obfuscations, deliberate and careless, that dominate every realm of our lives. In this lively guide, biologist Carl Bergstrom and statistician Jevin West show that calling bullshit is crucial to a properly functioning social group, whether it be a circle of friends, a community of researchers, or the citizens of a nation. Through six rules of thumb, they help us recognize bullshit whenever and wherever we encounter it - even within ourselves - and explain it to a crystal-loving aunt or casually racist grandfather.

Winner of the 2016 Yale Series of Younger Poets prize A fresh and rebellious poetic voice, Airea D. Matthews debuts in the acclaimed series that showcases the work of exciting and innovative young American poets. Matthews’s superb collection explores the topic of want and desire with power, insight, and intense emotion. Her poems cross historical boundaries and speak emphatically from a racialized America, where the trajectories of joy and exploitation, striving and thwarting, violence and celebration are constrained by differentials of privilege and contemporary modes of communication. In his foreword, series judge Carl Phillips calls this book “rollicking, destabilizing, at once intellectually sly and piercing and finally poignant.” This is poetry that breaks new literary ground, inspiring readers to think differently about what poems can and should do in a new media society where imaginations are laid bare and there is no thought too provocative to send out into the world.

Black Intellectual Thought in Education celebrates the exceptional academic contributions of African-American education scholars Anna Julia Cooper, Carter G. Woodson, and Alain Leroy Locke to the causes of social science, education, and democracy in America. By focusing on the lives and projects of these three figures specifically, it offers a powerful counter-narrative to the dominant, established discourse in education and critical social theory--helping to better serve the population that critical theory seeks to advocate. Rather than attempting to "rescue" a few African American scholars from obscurity or marginalization, this powerful volume instead highlights ideas that must be probed and critically examined in order to deal with prevailing contemporary educational issues. Cooper, Woodson, and Locke’s history of engagement with race, democracy, education, gender and life is a dynamic, demanding, and authentic narrative for those engaged with these important issues.

Bullshit isn't what it used to be. Now, two science professors give us the tools to dismantle misinformation and think clearly in a world of fake news and bad data. "A modern classic . . . a straight-talking survival guide to the mean streets of a dying democracy and a global pandemic."--WiredMisinformation, disinformation, and fake news abound and it's increasingly difficult to know what's true. Our media environment has become hyperpartisan. Science is conducted by press release. Startup culture elevates bullshit to high art. We are fairly well equipped to spot the sort of old-school bullshit that is based in fancy rhetoric and weasel words, but most of us don't feel qualified to challenge the avalanche of new-school bullshit presented in the language of math, science, or statistics. In Calling Bullshit, Professors Carl Bergstrom and Jevin West give us a set of powerful tools to cut through the most intimidating data. You don't need a lot of technical expertise to call out problems with data. Are the numbers or results too good or too dramatic to be true? Is the claim comparing like with like? Is it confirming your personal bias? Drawing on a deep well of expertise in statistics and computational biology, Bergstrom and West exuberantly unpack examples of selection bias and muddled data visualization, distinguish between correlation and causation, and examine the susceptibility of science to modern bullshit. We have always needed people who call bullshit when necessary, whether within a circle of friends, a community of scholars, or the citizenry of a nation. Now that bullshit has evolved, we need to relearn the art of skepticism.
