The phrase 'practical theory' may seem to be a contradiction, but it is a term that "Practical Beginning Theory" has, since it's first edition in 1963, sought to embody by providing a comprehensive introduction to basic level theory that can be used in any teaching situation, even if other resource materials are limited or unavailable. In the new edition, the text continues its...(展开全部)

Demonstrates how anyone in math, science, and engineering can master DFT calculations Density functional theory (DFT) is one of the most frequently used computational tools for studying and predicting the properties of isolated molecules, bulk solids, and material interfaces, including surfaces. Although the theoretical underpinnings of DFT are quite complicated, this book dem...(展开全部)

This book presents a new, student-oriented perspective on the study of electromagnetic fields. It has been built from the ground up using: clear explanations of basic concepts (with coverage of vector analysis as needed), numerous exercises, worked examples, review questions, and chapter-ending summaries ( with equations) that effectively bridge the gap between formal theories ...(展开全部)

Including examples and problems throughout and background revision material where appropriate, this book introduces undergraduate students to the basic concepts of electrostatic and magnetostatic fields. It also covers Maxwell's equations, propagation, transmission and radiation, and includes chapters on the Finite Element and Finite Difference method. A CD containing many Mat...(展开全部)

This book is intended as a basic text for a two-semester sequence for undergraduate students desiring a fundamental comprehension of electromagnetic fields. The text can also be used for a one-semester course as long as the topics omitted do not resu1t in any loss of continuity or of student's preparation for ensuing chapters and courses. This text may also serve as a reference...(展开全部)
