The Great Design: Particles, Fields, and Creation de Robert K. Adair

The Great Design: Particles, Fields, and Creation

Autor Robert K. Adair
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iul 1990
This introductory volume emphasises our understanding of the fundamental forces - gravitation, electromagnetism - and the fundamental particles on which they act and which go to build atoms and molecules. There are chapters on concepts; invariance and conservation laws; covariance scalars, vectors, tensors; the electromagnetic field; cosmology; and much more.

Recenzii

' a straightforward, unfussy and well-ordered account of the core concepts of relativistic particle physics.' Nature ' Adair is a long-time outstanding researcher and teacher in the field of particle physics. He has digested many of the seemingly impossible-to-understand concepts for general readers, and has presented these concepts in the book...Excellent illustrations are used throughout. Highly recommended for all libraries.' Choice
