Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This book discusses topics related to Newtonian mechanics and is ideal for a one semester course. Introductory topics are first presented including: time, space, and matter; different coordinate systems; vectors; and unit vectors;. The author presents tools such as displacement, velocity, and acceleration to describe projectile motion and uniform circular motion. Newton’s laws of motion and concepts of force and mass are discussed followed by kinetic energy, potential energy, and both conservative and non-conservative forces. This class-tested book also introduces angular displacement, angular speed, and angular acceleration as well as the use of these to describe the motion of particles with constant angular acceleration.  Concepts of torque, angular momentum, and rotational inertia are presented to explain the motion of physical pendulum. Motion under central force is also covered and Kepler’s laws are derived.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Sujaul Chowdhury, Ph.D., is a Professor in Department of Physics at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Physics from Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, before earning his Ph.D. at The University of Glasgow in 2001. After completing his Ph.D., Dr. Chowdhury was a Humboldt Research Fellow for one year at The Max Planck Institute, Stuttgart. He is the author of many books, including Monte Carlo Methods: A Hands-On Computational Introduction Utilizing Excel ;  Monte Carlo Methods Utilizing Mathematica®: Applications in Inverse Transform and Acceptance-Rejection Sampling and Numerical Exploration of Fourier Transform and Fourier Series: The Power Spectrum of Driven Damped Oscillators, which are  included in the Synthesis Lectures on Mathematics & Statistics series published by Springer Nature. His research interests include nanoelectronics, magnetotransport in semiconductor nanostructures, and nanostructure physics.
