Mathematics for Physicists is a relatively short volume covering all the essential mathematics needed for a typical first degree in physics, from a starting point that is compatible with modern school mathematics syllabuses.

Physics of Energy Sourcesprovides readers with a balanced presentation of the fundamental physics needed to understand and analyze conventional and renewable energy sources including nuclear, solar, wind and water power. It also presents various ways in which energy can be stored for future use.

The Manchester Physics Series is a collection of textbooks suitable for an undergraduate degree course in Physics. Each book has been individually developed to provide a reliable, self--contained text for an up--to--date course.

An accessible and carefully structured introduction to Particle Physics, including important coverage of the Higgs Boson and recent progress in neutrino physics.

This title provides the latest information on nuclear physics. Based on a course entitled Applications of Nuclear Physics. Written from an experimental point of view this text is broadly divided into two parts, firstly a general introduction to Nuclear Physics and secondly its applications.

Part of a series of textbooks designed for use at undergraduate level. This second edition covers the whole range of solid state physics, including important recent developments, and aims to present the material in an accessible and simplified manner.

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics is an introduction to the power and elegance of quantum mechanics. Assuming little in the way of prior knowledge, quantum concepts are carefully and precisely presented, and explored through numerous applications and problems.

A book which enables readers to proceed by the quickest route to a particular topic, and teachers to select courses differing in length, difficulty and choice of applications.

Emphasizing physical principles behind classical mechanics and relativity, this new title in the Manchester Physics Series introduces relevant mathematics and carefully develops it as needed within a physics context. Each chapter includes problems ranging in difficulty from simple to challenging with hints for solving problems.

Emphasizes the physical principles, placing the physics before the mathematics. Each chapter includes problems ranging in difficulty from simple to challenging. Includes hints for solving problems. Numerous worked examples included throughout the book. More advanced material is included in optional sections marked with an asterisk. .
