Partial Differential Equations
(Springer, 2013)This is the third edition of my textbook intended for students who wish to obtain an introduction to the theory of partial differential equations (PDEs, for short). Why is there a new edition? The answer is simple: I ... -
Particles and Nuclei
(Springer, 2015)Since the first German edition of this textbook in 1993, many extensions and corrections of the text have been added in every further edition. For the present seventh English edition, the text of several chapters and ... -
Perceptual Organization
(Springer, 2019)The goal here is to describe some of the processes underlying how the auditory, tactual and visual modalities and their combinations convert sensory inputs into two- and three-dimensional objects. Those processes are a ... -
Philosophy of Science for Scientists
(Springer, 2016)The Swedish predecessor of this book, Introduktion till Vetenskapsteorin, grew out of an urgently felt need when I was teaching philosophy of science for students of engineering, physics, biology, social science, medicine ... -
Phylogenomics
(Springer, 2017)All life on earth shares a common ancestor, and the aim of phylogenetic systematics is to reconstruct the tree or network of life. Shortly after the availability of the first protein sequences, molecular phylogenetic ... -
Physical Chemistry from a Different Angle
(Springer, 2016)Experience has shown that two fundamental thermodynamic quantities are especially difficult to grasp: entropy and chemical potential—entropy S as quantity associated with temperature T and chemical potential μ as quantity ... -
Physics from Symmetry
(Springer, 2018)In the course of studying physics I became, like any student of physics, familiar with many fundamental equations and their solutions, but I wasn’t really able to see their connection. I was thrilled when I understood ... -
Physics of Oscillations and Waves
(Springer, 2018)The University of Oslo in Norway is one of the first universities to introduce numerical methods as an integral part of almost all mathematically oriented courses for science students (first attempts started in 1997). ... -
The Physics of Semiconductors
(Springer, 2016)Semiconductor electronics is commonplace in every household. Semiconductor devices have enabled economically reasonable fiber-based optical communication, optical storage, and high-frequency amplification and have recently ... -
Plant Anatomy
(Springer, 2019)The science of plant anatomy extends back to the late seventeenth century and, by now, spans over 300 years and encompasses hundreds of thousands of reports in the scientific literature. The early plant anatomy research ... -
Plant Ecology
(Springer, 2019)The puzzle illustrates the characteristics of modern Plant Ecology which aims to relate genetic information and molecular physiology with the biological and environmental constraints of plant life across the globe. ... -
Plant Physiological Ecology
(Springer, 2008)Plant ecophysiology is an experimental science that seeks to describe the physiological mechanisms underlying ecological observations. In other words, ecophysiologists, or physiological ecologists, address ecological ... -
Plant Physiology, Development and Metabolism
(Springer, 2018)Plants serve as a source for sustainable food and biofuel and also play crucial roles in maintaining human health and ecosystem. Thus, it becomes imperative to understand the mechanisms of plant growth and development. ... -
Plate Tectonics
(Springer, 2011)In the late 1960’s, Wegener’s theory of continental drift , originally conceived fi ft y years earlier, was merged with the theory of plate tectonics and the concepts gained global acceptance among geoscientists. For ... -
Polymer Chemistry
(Springer, 2017)Among the many areas of chemistry, polymer science is a comparatively new field. The empirical use of polymeric materials made from natural substances has been documented for centuries; however, only the pioneering work ... -
Polymer Synthesis: Theory and Practice
(Springer, 2013)The focus of the previous edition was on a broader description of the general methods and techniques for the synthesis, modifications and characterization of macromolecules. This was supplemented by selected and detailed ... -
A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python
(Springer, 2016)The aim of this book is to teach computer programming using examples from mathematics and the natural sciences. We have chosen to use the Python programming language because it combines remarkable expressive power with ... -
Principles of Astrophysics
(Springer, 2014)This book is designed to show how physical principles can be used at the advanced undergraduate level to understand astronomical systems such as planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe as a whole. It emerges from a ... -
Principles of Data Mining
(Springer, 2016)This book is designed to be suitable for an introductory course at either undergraduate or masters level. It can be used as a textbook for a taught unit in a degree programme on potentially any of a wide range of subjects ... -
Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy
(Springer, 2006)The first edition of Principles was published in 1983, and the second edition 16 years later in 1999. At that time I thought the third edition would not be written until 2010 or later. However, the technology of ...
