The digital era has dramatically changed the ways that researchers search, produce, publish, and disseminate their scientific work. These processes are still rapidly evolving due to improvements in information science, new achievements in computer...

A classic from 1969, this book is based on a series of lectures delivered at the Les Houches Summer School of Theoretical Physics in 1955. The book outlines a general scheme of quantum kinematics and dynamics.

This little book is especially concerned with those portions of ?advanced calculus? in which the subtlety of the concepts and methods makes rigor difficult to attain at an elementary level. The approach taken here uses elementary versions of modern...

This unique book, written by a leading Soviet theorist, is not a textbook of quantum mechanics but rather a compendium of the "tricks of the trade"-the methods that all practicing theoretical physicists use but few have set down in writing.

"When, in 1984--86, Richard P. Feynman gave his famous course on computation at the California Institute of Technology, he asked Tony Hey to adapt his lecture notes into a book. Although led by Feynman,"

Using mathematical arguments, this view of the conceptual foundations of quantum physics and the fundamental physical implications of quantum formalism deals with non-separability, hidden variable theories and measurement theories.

This volume presents techniques that emphasize the unity of high-energy particle physics with electrodynamics, gravitational theory, and many-particle co-operative phenomena. It offers a theory intermediate in position between operator field theory and...
