Book excerpt: This one-semester survey of principles of physics for technical students emphasizes practical applications that represent a broad coverage of physics as it relates to the various technical areas. The concepts presented allow students to relate the principles of physics to practical job-related applications. The questions and problems at the end of each chapter have been carefully chosen for their realistic application to industry and for their instructional value. The only mathematics prerequisite is the algebra necessary to understand simple formulas. For teaching convenience, the more difficult sections of the text, which are optional, are identified by asterisks in the table of contents.
Download or read book Modern Physics and Technology for Undergraduates written by Lorcan M. Folan and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2003 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook connects an undergraduate course in physics with modern science and technology. The first part of the book gives an overview of "hot" directions in modern physics and technology. The second part contains problems which are related to those directions. Where necessary, the problems have detailed solutions. The text also includes a brief review of undergraduate physics.A huge chasm has developed between modern science and undergraduate education. The result of this chasm is that students who are graduating from college are unable to exploit the many opportunities offered by modern science and technology. Consequently, student interest in undergraduate physics is very low. The authors purpose to try to bridge this chasm between modern science and technology and undergraduate education.Modern science and technology widely uses the methods of classical physics, but these modern applications are not reflected in the problems on physics often suggested to students. Solving practical problems is a very effective way to inform students about contemporary science, to show the important relationships between modern and classical physics, and to prepare them for future activity in the modern technological environment. The authors have prepared a set of problems based on some of the latest development in science and technology which can be solved using the classical physics accessible in a standard undergraduate program.

This book was released on 2010-04-12 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics for future world leaders Physics and Technology for Future Presidents contains the essential physics that students need in order to understand today's core science and technology issues, and to become the next generation of world leaders. From the physics of energy to climate change, and from spy technology to quantum computers, this is the only textbook to focus on the modern physics affecting the decisions of political leaders and CEOs and, consequently, the lives of every citizen. How practical are alternative energy sources? Can satellites really read license plates from space? What is the quantum physics behind iPods and supermarket scanners? And how much should we fear a terrorist nuke? This lively book empowers students possessing any level of scientific background with the tools they need to make informed decisions and to argue their views persuasively with anyone—expert or otherwise. Based on Richard Muller's renowned course at Berkeley, the book explores critical physics topics: energy and power, atoms and heat, gravity and space, nuclei and radioactivity, chain reactions and atomic bombs, electricity and magnetism, waves, light, invisible light, climate change, quantum physics, and relativity. Muller engages readers through many intriguing examples, helpful facts to remember, a fun-to-read text, and an emphasis on real-world problems rather than mathematical computation. He includes chapter summaries, essay and discussion questions, Internet research topics, and handy tips for instructors to make the classroom experience more rewarding. Accessible and entertaining, Physics and Technology for Future Presidents gives students the scientific fluency they need to become well-rounded leaders in a world driven by science and technology.

This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Problems in Physics for Technical Schools, Colleges, and Universities This text has grown out of some seven years' experience in the teaching of large classes of engineering students in general physics in the University of Michigan. Throughout the course of this work one hour a week was devoted wholly to the solution of practical problems bearing upon the fundamental principles treated in the lecture room and laboratory. This phase of the work proved so satisfactory that it was deemed desirable to incorporate the typewritten exercises into the form of the present volume. This was done both for the convenience of our own students and instructors, and also with the hope that the exercises may be of service to other teachers of physics. These exercises are intended to supplement the usual one year's course in general physics, with a supply of material of such range and variety as will be likely to stimulate the student's interest and clarify his understanding. The chief characteristics of this text may be summarized briefly as follows: 1. Statement of Fundamental Principles. - Accompanying each set of problems there is a brief statement of the fundamental principles involved, and also a large number of illustrative examples which enable the student to proceed with his work with a minimum of time and attention on the part of the instructor. 2. Character of the Problems. - The problems are practical, carefully graded, and are thoroughly workable. 3. Range of Problems. - The one thousand and twenty-five problems herein contained offer a range and variety which will enable the instructor not only to select examples suitable for special groups of students, but also to vary the assignments from year to year. 4. Data Modern. - The data presented in connection with these exercises are thoroughly modern and in accordance with the recommendations and practice of the United States Bureau of Standards, and of our Scientific Societies and Engineering Associations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Physics: For Technical Students Physics is generally acknowledged to be essential to the equipment of every technical student, and the subject forms part of the curriculum of most Junior Day Technical Schools and Trade Schools. In the following pages a scheme of the subject is developed, which forms a two-year course when two or three hours a week are devoted to the subject. Since most technical students take Applied Mechanics and Electricity as separate subjects, the portions of Physics usually treated under these 'heads have been purposely omitted from this course and thus the danger of overlapping has been avoided. Apart from these omissions the whole of the elements of the subject have been passed under review, and if the treat ment of certain portions is brief, it is hoped that the breadth of outlook which the student derives from such a running survey will be considered sufficient compensation. The experimental work has been confined to such as requires only the very simplest apparatus. Home-made appliances have a very distinct advantage over the more professional type at this stage of the student's work. Sections I., II., and III. Form a suitable course for the first year, and Sections IV. And V. May be completed during the second year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physics for Technical Students: Mechanics and Heat The present volume is the outgrowth of mimeograph notes which the author has used in connection with a course of lectures given during the past six years. Since the author has also conducted the recitations for several sections during this time, the successive revisions of the notes have been made by one viewing the work from two angles, that of class instructor, as well as that of lecturer. It is believed that in this way a keener realization of the students difficulties, and a better appreciation of what parts should be revised, have been obtained than would have been possible without this two-fold contact. We now have a large and rapidly increasing number of students who are interested primarily in the practical side of education. With the needs of these students in mind, the practical side of the subject has been emphasized throughout the book. This method, it is believed, will sustain interest in the subject by showing its application to everyday affairs, and will, it is hoped, be appreciated by both students and instructors in Agriculture and Engineering. In this connection, attention is directed to sections 18, 19, 20, 29, 30, 39, 44, 54, 56, 60, 62, 63, 76, 80, 83, 108, 109, 111, 134, 138, 170, 185, 189, 190, 195, 200, 204, 205, 206, 218 and Chapters VII, XII, XVII, and XVIII. More space than usual has been devoted to the treatment of Force, Torque, Translatory Motion, and Rotary Motion. It is felt that the great importance of these topics, which underlie so much of the subsequent work of the student, warrants such treatment. Probably everyone who has taught the theory of electrical measuring instruments, for example, has realized that the students greatest handicap is the lack of a thorough grasp of the fundamental principles of mechanics. The student who has thoroughly mastered elementary mechanics has done much toward preparing himself for effective work in technical lines. The sketches, which are more numerous than is usual in such a text, are chosen with special reference to the help they will be in enabling the student to readily grasp important or difficult principles.

Download or read book Mathematical Methods for Optical Physics and Engineering written by Gregory J. Gbur and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-06 with total page 819 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first textbook on mathematical methods focusing on techniques for optical science and engineering, this text is ideal for upper division undergraduate and graduate students in optical physics. Containing detailed sections on the basic theory, the textbook places strong emphasis on connecting the abstract mathematical concepts to the optical systems to which they are applied. It covers many topics which usually only appear in more specialized books, such as Zernike polynomials, wavelet and fractional Fourier transforms, vector spherical harmonics, the z-transform, and the angular spectrum representation. Most chapters end by showing how the techniques covered can be used to solve an optical problem. Essay problems based on research publications and numerous exercises help to further strengthen the connection between the theory and its applications.
