Description
|
|
|
|
This thorough revision of a classic desk reference contains 3900 entries—200 new to this edition—that lucidly define the terms of the fast-changing field of physics, including astronomy, astrophysics, and physical chemistry. It includes expanded information on applied physics, statistical distributions, polymers, and nanoscience, and includes ten feature articles on key topics like crystal defects, magnetic resonance imaging, and the solar system. Here too are detailed appendices on SI units and the electromagnetic spectrum, a timeline of key dates in physics, and a list Nobel Prize winners, as well as a web link to a companion website.
