The Elements of Relativity£29.49 David M. Wittman
9780199658640 This undergraduate textbook introduces relativity to a non-technical audience. The "thinking tools" approach allows readers to understand at a much deeper level than popular treatments, and end-of-chapter problems (always lacking in popular books) help build and cement that understanding. |

Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Dynamics£34.99 Peter Mann
9780198822387 The book introduces classical mechanics. It does so in an informal style with numerous fresh, modern and inter-disciplinary applications assuming no prior knowledge of the necessary mathematics. The book provides a comprehensive and self-contained treatment of the subject matter up to the forefront of research in multiple areas. |

A First Course in Network Theory£36.99 Ernesto Estrada, Philip A. Knight
9780198726463 Network theory is a major topic of interdisciplinary research which covers diverse areas including physics, mathematics and sociology. This book covers all the basics and the most commonly used concepts in the field, provides examples of their applications in solving practical problems, and clear indications on how to analyse their results. |

Advanced Mechanics: From Euler's Determinism to Arnold's Chaos£34.49 S. G. Rajeev
9780199670864 This book can be used as a textbook for a graduate course on mechanics or for self-study. There are a variety of problems ranging from exercises that verify parts of the text, moderately difficult calculations, to suggested research projects. Connections to other disciplines of mathematics and physics are emphasized. |
|
Chaos and Fractals: An Elementary Introduction£35.99 David P. Feldman
9780199566440 For students with a background in elementary algebra, this book provides a vivid introduction to the key phenomena and ideas of chaos and fractals, including the butterfly effect, strange attractors, fractal dimensions, Julia Sets and the Mandelbrot Set, power laws, and cellular automata. The book includes over 200 end-of-chapter exercises. |

Measurements and their Uncertainties: A practical guide to modern error analysis£21.99 Ifan Hughes, Thomas Hase
9780199566334 This short guide to modern error analysis is primarily intended to be used in undergraduate laboratories in the physical sciences. No prior knowledge of statistics is assumed. The necessary concepts are introduced where needed and illustrated graphically. The book emphasises the use of computers for error calculations and data fitting. |
|
Concepts in Thermal PhysicsSecond Edition £32.99 Stephen J. Blundell, Katherine M. Blundell
9780199562107 This modern introduction to thermal physics contains a step-by-step presentation of the key concepts. The text is copiously illustrated and each chapter contains several worked examples. |

Statistical Mechanics: Algorithms and Computations£32.49 Werner Krauth
9780198515364 Oxford Master Series in Physics This book discusses the computational approach in modern statistical physics, adopting simple language and an attractive format with many illustrations, tables and printed algorithms. The style will appeal to students, teachers and researchers in the physical sciences. The focus is on orientation, with implementation details kept to a minimum. |
|
Data Analysis: A Bayesian TutorialSecond Edition £35.49 Devinderjit Sivia, John Skilling
9780198568322 This is the second edition of the first tutorial book on Bayesian methods and maximum entropy aimed at senior undergraduates in science and engineering. It takes the mystery out of statistics by showing how a few fundamental rules can be used to tackle a variety of problems in data analysis. |
