The Compendium of Theoretical Physics contains the canonical curriculum of theoretical physics. From classical mechanics over electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and statistical physics/thermodynamics, all topics are treated axiomatic-deductively and confimed by exercises, solutions and short summaries.

Mechanics, Electrodynamics, Quantum Mechanics, and Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics comprise the canonical undergraduate curriculum of theoretical physics. In Compendium of Theoretical Physics, Armin Wachter and Henning Hoeber offer a concise, rigorous and structured overview that will be invaluable for students preparing for their qualifying examinations, readers needing a supplement to standard textbooks, and research or industrial physicists seeking a bridge between extensive textbooks and formula books.

The authors take an axiomatic-deductive approach to each topic, starting the discussion of each theory with its fundamental equations. 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 readers understanding is then reinforced with exercises, solutions and topic summaries.

Unique Features:

  • Every topic is reviewed axiomatically-deductively and then reinforced through exercises, solutions and summaries
  • Each subchapter ends with a set of applications, making the Compendium an ideal review of theoretical physics for physicists working in industry or research
  • A Mathematical Appendix covers vector operations, integral theorems, partial differential quotients, complete function systems, Fourier analysl3o
