This book, together with the three other volumes, offers a clear and comprehensive approach to theoretical physics for the entire Bachelor's program.
Highlights:
Theoretical derivations are linked with characteristic examples, their solutions, typical applications, and clearly illustrated in diagrams. The required mathematics is derived in a physical context and explained transparently.
