By subsequently deriving the various physical relationships and laws in logical rather than chronological order, and by using a consistent presentation and notation throughout, they emphasize the connections between the individual theories. The reader’s understanding is then reinforced with exercises, solutions and topic summaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnique Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery topic is reviewed axiomatically-deductively and then reinforced through exercises, solutions and summaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach subchapter ends with a set of applications, making the \u003cem\u003eCompendium\u003c\/em\u003e an ideal review of theoretical physics for physicists working in industry or research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Mathematical Appendix covers vector operations, integral theorems, partial differential quotients, complete function systems, Fourier analysis, Bessel functions, spherical Bessel functions, Legendre functions, Legendre polynomials and spherical harmonics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArmin Wachter\u003c\/strong\u003e holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the John von Neumann Institute for Computing (NIC) \/ Research Centre of Jülich, Germany.
