Kittel's Introduction To Solid State Physics, Global Edition

By (author) Kittel; By (author) Kittel Charles
Description:
Kittel’s Introduction to Solid State Physics, Global Edition, has been the standard solid state physics text for physics majors since the publication of its first edition over 60 years ago. The emphasis in the book has always been on physics rather than formal mathematics. This book is written with the goal that it is accessible to undergraduate students and consistently teachable. With each new edition, the author has attempted to add important new developments in the field without impacting its inherent content coverage. This Global Edition offers the advantage of expanded end-of-chapter problem sets.
Description:
Seit Erscheinen der 1. Auflage vor über 60 Jahren ist Kittel''s Introduction to Solid State Physics, Global Edition das Standardwerk der Festkörperphysik für Studierende im Hauptfach Physik. Der Schwerpunkt lag schon immer auf der Physik und weniger auf der formalen Mathematik. Geschrieben wurde das Werk mit dem Ziel ein Lehrbuch zu schaffen, das für Studenten im Grundstudium zugänglich und von Dozenten durchgängig in Vorlesungen eingesetzt werden kann. Mit jeder neuen Ausgabe hat der Autor versucht, wichtige Neuentwicklungen in dem Fachgebiet aufzunehmen und gleichzeitig die Inhalte in ihrer Gesamtheit beizubehalten. Diese Global Edition bietet den Vorteil erweiterter Problemstellungen am Ende jedes Kapitels.
