Problems and Solutions in Many-Particle Systems
Description
Physics students face the double challenge of grasping both complex concepts and their mathematical descriptions, and students need to be able to understand and confidently manipulate these mathematical representations. Solving conceptual and mathematical problems is an established method in physics teaching, it reinforces theory and improves the ability to apply broad physical principles and equations to specific situations.
Many-particle systems play a fundamental role in physics where we encounter systems of molecules or systems of elementary particles in quantum field theory. Many-particle theories provide the basis for understanding the macroscopic behaviour of vast assemblies of interacting particles starting from their microscopic properties and leads to descriptions of entropy, statistical mechanics and fluid mechanics. Covering a wide range of topics and including more than 400 problems and solutions, this book is an ideal resource for students specialising in many-particle physics.
